Joe Carlasare

Joe is a zealous advocate who aggressively pursues what others say can’t be done. He was raised to value service and became a lawyer because he always believed that service was at the core of a lawyer’s role in the community. Today he handles commercial litigation, defending clients in matters relating to product liability, professional liability, premises liability, bad faith insurance defense, insurance coverage disputes and election law. 

Joe is an adjunct professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law, teaching trial advocacy. He also coaches Chicago-Kent’s nationally ranked Trial Advocacy Team.
