About Russell W. Hartigan

I have been a Mediator as a Practicing Attorney handling Plaintiff and Defense work. Afterwards, as a Circuit Court Judge, I installed a Pre-Trial Program before court opened upon a voluntary basis. Well-liked by lawyers with a personality suited for Settlement. I am able to convince Parties to settle, not argue with each other. Highly qualified by Bar Associations when evaluated. Past President of the IL State Bar Association.
