About Michael J.
Michael J. Brennan earned his undergraduate degree from DePaul University in 1982 and went on to receive his J.D. from The John Marshall Law School in 1985. Those years in Chicago-area schools set the foundation for a practice rooted in Illinois law. He took the traditional route from law school into state practice and has remained active in the local legal community.
He is licensed to practice in Illinois and maintains an active Illinois law license. Early in his career he engaged with statewide professional groups and has continued that involvement over time. His connections to those groups have kept him closely tied to developments in civil litigation and trial procedure.
Brennan has been involved with the Illinois State Bar Association. He also holds memberships in the Illinois Bar Association and the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association. He attends association programs and uses them as a source for continuing legal education and courtroom technique updates. Membership in these organizations places him in regular contact with other trial lawyers across the state.
He operates under the name Michael J. Brennan Injury & Accident Lawyer. That practice name appears on his office communications and client materials. He represents clients who have been injured in accidents and manages the practical demands of those cases from initial intake through resolution, whether by negotiation or trial.
His work commonly involves motor vehicle collisions, premises liability claims and other personal injury matters that arise from accidents. He handles evidence gathering, medical documentation review and settlement negotiations. When cases require it, he prepares for courtroom presentation and jury trial. The practice balances litigation and client counseling, and it often involves coordinating with medical providers and insurance adjusters.
Brennan has practiced law in Illinois since the mid-1980s. That span of work has given him familiarity with local courts and prosecutorial practices in civil cases. He has kept a steady presence in the state bar community while maintaining his own practice structure under his firm name.
He currently concentrates his practice on injury and accident cases in Illinois.
