I’m beyond honored, humbled and excited to be installed as the President of The Chicago Bar Association on June 27, 2024 at The University Club of Chicago.

Very thankful to everyone who has supported, inspired, nurtured and BELIEVED in me along this journey and in my legal career.

Especially thankful to my family, my wife Esther and to our 4 adult children, JC, Michael, Anna & Joey and to my mother, Rosemarie who has always been there through the good times and in challenging times. And to my many mentors and friends who have been shining examples, to me and to many others, of how professionals should conduct themselves and to pay it forward by giving back to the next generation of lawyers and to our legal profession.

Many thanks to current my law partners and colleagues at Aronberg Goldgehn Davis & Garmisa
for their unwavering support of my bar association endeavors.

Tickets, Tables and Program AD book sponsorships are available at the link in the comments. Hope that you can attend.

Thanks again and looking forward to “Leaving a Legacy for our Legal Profession”.

Today (March 7, 2003) is the 20th anniversary of my maternal grandma, Angie Milano’s death. Not a day passes when I don’t miss her like crazy.

I know that Grandma Angie is always watching over our family. Many things I learned from my Grandma is with me everyday. Her work ethic, her love for her entire family, her passion for her patrons and customers Remembering Papa Milano’s & Milano’s Restaurants and her tremendous generosity to ALL.

I love you Grandma- thanks for always being there for my mother, my brother and for me during some pretty dark days and for always being our biggest fan.

You will always remain in my heart and I will always endeavor to make you very proud. ❤️❤️❤️

Really hard to believe that I discovered this old photo of our maternal grandfather Carmie taken at the 1961 Chicago Auto Show during this year’s Auto Show that runs through February 22nd! My grandfather Carmie would take us to the auto show every year. He loved it! What a great treasure and wonderful memories for sure! 🚗🏎🛻
