About Michelle
Michelle Hodgman earned her J.D. from The John Marshall Law School. She arrived in the profession with courtroom curiosity and an early interest in the mechanics of litigation. That legal training underpins the practical work she does today.
Her early legal experience began while she was still in law school. In 2011 she worked as a research assistant at The John Marshall Law School and served as a judicial intern for The Circuit Court of Cook County. That same year she held a position as a law clerk and lawyer at Goldberg Weisman Cairo, which gave her exposure to client work and courtroom procedures.
By 2014 Hodgman was listed as a lawyer at Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers. Her résumé shows steady movement into roles that required both case preparation and client interaction. She has navigated files at different stages, from intake to motion practice. Those years helped her move from supporting roles into primary case responsibilities.
Hodgman is admitted to practice in Illinois and Massachusetts, and she is also admitted to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. She maintains membership in the Illinois State Bar and the Massachusetts State Bar. The multi-jurisdictional admissions allow her to appear in state and federal court when cases require it.
Her background includes a mix of legal research, courtroom observation and hands-on case work. Tasks from her early positions — research projects, drafting memos, and assisting on hearings — inform how she prepares matters for trial or settlement. She has experience managing evidentiary work and coordinating with experts, and she draws on that experience when developing litigation strategy with colleagues.
Professional membership and bar admission have been part of her ongoing practice life. She remains active in the state bars where she is admitted. That keeps her connected to changes in procedure and local rules, and supports the practical demands of representing clients in multiple forums.
Hodgman currently practices at Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers. She represents clients in personal injury matters and handles litigation in state and federal courts, including the Northern District of Illinois.
