Corboy & Demetrio Uniformly Judged to be the Best of the Best
Putting our clients first has resulted in unparalleled success — Corboy & Demetrio has acquired more than $5 billion in verdicts and settlements, of which nearly 700 were $1 million or higher.
Year in and year out, our firm and our attorneys are uniformly judged the best of the best, garnering the highest honors in the legal profession:
Co-founder Thomas A. Demetrio has been ranked the #1 or #2 Super Lawyer in Illinois for a decade, and his extraordinary ranking is out of lawyers in every practice area. Partner Philip Corboy, Jr. was named to Top 100 Attorneys by Super Lawyers in 2024 for a 12th year.
Thomas, Philip and Partner Patrick Murphy were selected to IL Super Lawyers for 20 years in a row. Our other 2024 Super Lawyers are Managing Partner Ken Lumb and partners Bill Gibbs, Dan Kirschner, Michelle Kohut, and Edward G. Willer. Fewer than 5% of Illinois lawyers are selected for the honor. Associate Attorneys Mitchell Bild and Tommy Demetrio were selected to 2024 Super Lawyers’ Rising Stars, a designation given to fewer than 2.5% of eligible lawyers.
In addition, Thomas Demetrio has been ranked the #1 Personal Injury Plaintiff’s Lawyer and the #1 Aviation Accidents Plaintiff’s Lawyer by Leading Lawyers since 2020. He was also ranked #2 in the area of Medical Malpractice for Plaintiffs for 2022.
Philip Corboy, Jr. has been named to Top Ten Product Liability Attorneys in Illinois by Leading Lawyers since 2019.
For the 15th year, Corboy & Demetrio was selected to “Best Law Firms” by U.S. News – Best Lawyers®, receiving the highest ranking possible in the categories of Plaintiffs’ Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice for 2025. C&D also received a national ranking in Plaintiffs’ Mass Tort Litigation/Class Actions for a third consecutive year.
Nine Corboy & Demetrio partners were named to Best Lawyers in America, 2025 Edition. Thomas, who has been named every year since 1987, was joined by Philip, Bill, Dan, Michelle, Ken, Patrick, Edward, and Partner Mike Ditore.
In 2024, eight Corboy & Demetrio partners were selected to the prestigious Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America, including Partner Conrad C. Nowak, who joined the firm in 2023. In 2021, Thomas Demetrio was inducted into the Lawdragon Hall of Fame. In 2015, Lawdragon anointed him “the dean of the Chicago trial bar” when he was selected as a Lawdragon “Legend.”
Also in 2024, Partner Chad D. Kasdin, with 24 years of litigation experience at a national defense law firm, joined Corboy & Demetrio, as did Associate Attorney Collin Gill, who previously served as a Judicial Law Clerk for the Honorable Thomas M. Cushing, Cook County Circuit Court.
Our attorneys show extraordinary leadership in the community. Corboy & Demetrio is the only law firm in Chicago to have had four former Chicago Bar Association Presidents. We are also the only Illinois firm to have had four past Presidents of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, including Thomas and Philip.
We are and always have been dedicated to helping underserved communities. Thomas is the founder of Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth, which funded mentoring/tutoring programs throughout the Chicagoland area for more than three decades. It currently provides in-house tutoring to Engelwood students.
Philip Corboy, Jr., is a Past President of the Board of Directors of the Legal Assistance Foundation of Metropolitan Chicago, a not-for-profit agency that provides free civil legal services to low income and elderly people in Chicago and suburban Cook County.
