About Michael V.
Michael V. LoCicero has spent decades practicing law in and around Elmhurst. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science from Elmhurst College in 1977 and completed his legal studies at Gonzaga University School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1980. Those credentials set the stage for a long career in local practice and community involvement.
He established his law practice in the early 1980s. Records list him as a lawyer operating under his own name beginning in 1982. Over the years he has been admitted to practice in Illinois and to the federal courts that serve the region, including the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Those admissions have allowed him to represent clients in both state and federal forums.
LoCicero’s work has been paired with a steady presence in civic affairs. He served on the Elmhurst District 205 Board of Education from 1997 to 2005. Later, he joined the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation board and has served as vice president since 2012. His board roles reflect an interest in local institutions and public service that runs alongside his legal practice.
People who have known him professionally describe a lawyer who understands how local courts and agencies operate. He has handled matters that reach the federal appellate level as well as routine state-court work. His caseload and filings over time demonstrate a working familiarity with procedural and courtroom practice across several venues.
His approach in the office is matter-of-fact. He prepares cases for filing, appears in hearings, and manages client intake. He has maintained a small-firm practice structure that keeps client contact direct and the lines of communication simple. That setup has allowed him to remain active in community organizations while tending to a steady stream of legal matters.
After more than four decades in practice, LoCicero remains based in the Elmhurst area. He continues to accept matters and represent clients in both state and federal courts. He currently practices at Michael V. LoCicero, Lawyer at Law, handling matters in state and federal courts.
