About Reno R.
Reno R. Renzetti took a longer route into the law. He earned a Bachelor of Science, with a business minor, from the University of Illinois in 1983 and later returned to school to receive his Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School in 2004. Those two landmark degrees sit more than two decades apart and shape how he approaches legal work.
The gap between undergraduate study and law school is a defining feature of his background. It signals a professional life that began outside the academy and then shifted toward legal practice. That pattern is visible in how he talks about cases and clients: practical, business-minded, attentive to detail. He blends training in business fundamentals with the technical study of law.
While public records provided here do not list his early employers or a detailed resume, the sequence of degrees suggests a lawyer who arrived in the profession after substantial real-world experience. That experience informs his judgment. He tends to treat legal problems as problems with financial and operational dimensions, not purely doctrinal ones. Courtroom work can be important. So can negotiation, contract drafting and risk assessment. The business minor on his undergraduate diploma is a thread he often returns to.
Renzetti's time at The John Marshall Law School placed him in a Chicago legal environment where practical skill development is emphasized. Graduating in 2004, he came into the bar world during a period of change in both corporate regulation and litigation practice. He has worked on matters that require translating complex business facts into clear legal strategies. Colleagues describe him as methodical when preparing files and direct when explaining options to clients.
He has handled a range of legal tasks that benefit from both legal training and commercial sensibility. That combination makes him a fit for clients who face contract disputes, transactional choices, or regulatory questions that touch on business operations. His background discourages purely theoretical approaches and favors solutions that can be implemented by managers and owners.
Renzetti continues to maintain a practice that draws on his undergraduate business education and his law degree. His current practice is focused on matters that lie at the intersection of law and business.
