About Robert
Robert Geimer built his legal foundation in the Midwest. He earned a B.A. in Political Science and Communication from Loyola University Chicago in 1988 and went on to receive a J.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1991. He also holds a Certificate in Mediation from Northwestern University, a credential that complements his courtroom practice and informs his approach to dispute resolution.
Geimer joined the staff at Tomasik Kotin Kasserman early in his career and has practiced there as a trial lawyer. His résumé lists admission to the Illinois bar and credentials to appear before federal forums, including the Seventh Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. Those admissions reflect work that spans trial courts and federal appellate practice, and they have shaped the cases he takes to hearing and appeal.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing for trial. He is known for careful case development and a measured courtroom presence. He balances trial advocacy with efforts to resolve cases where appropriate, and his mediation certificate has been used in settlement talks and pretrial planning. He handles the practical tasks of case management while trying to keep clients apprised of the litigation arc.
His professional affiliations include the American Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, the Illinois State Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Association. Those memberships speak to years spent engaged in continuing legal education, networking and the procedural work that supports litigation practice. Geimer has participated in bar activities that keep him current on procedural developments and appellate trends.
Over time he has handled a range of civil matters that require courtroom experience and appellate awareness. His work has required trial preparation, evidence presentation and the drafting of appellate briefs. He has litigated contested matters in state court and pursued appeals in the federal system. Those cases have tested both factual presentation at trial and the legal argumentation required at higher levels of review.
He continues to practice at Tomasik Kotin Kasserman, LLC, where his work blends trial litigation and appellate representation. He practices trial and appellate litigation at Tomasik Kotin Kasserman, LLC.
