Michael J. Brennan

Michael J. Brennan is an Orland Park personal injury attorney who represents individuals and families in serious injury and wrongful death cases. His current practice focuses exclusively on personal injury and wrongful death, including car accidents, nursing home abuse, medical malpractice, catastrophic injuries, premises liability, workplace accidents, and other negligence claims. He has practiced since 1985 and personally handles cases from initial consultation through negotiation and, when necessary, trial.

Michael earned a J.D. from The John Marshall Law School after undergraduate study at DePaul University. His legal education was followed by service as an Assistant State’s Attorney for Cook County, where he prosecuted criminal matters and developed courtroom experience involving evidence, witness examination, and trial procedure. That early prosecution work provided a foundation for the litigation skills he later applied to representing injured clients in civil cases against insurers and other defendants.

Michael opened his own practice in the 1990s and has spent decades representing people after serious accidents and losses. His work includes car accident claims, medical malpractice, nursing home neglect, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, slip-and-fall cases, dog bite claims, and third-party workplace injuries. He investigates cases, negotiates with insurers and defense counsel, and is prepared to take claims to trial when litigation is required to pursue compensation for an injured client or family.

Michael J. Brennan combines more than four decades of legal practice with a direct, attorney-led approach to personal injury representation. His prosecutorial background gives him experience evaluating evidence and courtroom strategy, while his civil practice centers on the financial and personal consequences of serious injuries. He serves clients in Orland Park and the Chicagoland area, providing representation for injury and wrongful death matters that require detailed preparation, negotiation, and trial readiness.
