John Norkus is the Illinois Managing Attorney for LLG National Law Group, bringing more than a decade of hands-on litigation experience to clients who need steady, reliable guidance. Over his 13 years in practice, he has built a reputation for staying calm under pressure, breaking down complicated issues into understandable steps, and helping clients feel more in control of situations that often feel overwhelming. His background spans education matters, personal injury cases, civil litigation, real estate disputes, small business conflicts, and consumer debt work, giving him a wide lens for the challenges clients face.

John joined LLG National Law Group after nearly a decade running his own firm, Chi City Legal, which he founded and operated as a solo practitioner. Managing a busy practice sharpened his instincts in every part of the job. He drafted complaints, motions, and briefs; handled bulk-filer court calls; met with clients regularly; and kept cases moving with a clear, organized approach. Earlier roles as a partner at two Chicago firms and as a law clerk at several offices added to the foundation he relies on today.

He entered the legal field with a simple goal: to do work that matters and contributes something positive to the world. That drive is part of what excites him about being at LLG National Law Group. John enjoys representing people who feel stuck in systems filled with confusing rules, mixed messages, or inconsistent processes. Knowing he can help someone feel seen, informed, and supported is what motivates him daily.

John’s clients often comment on his steady presence. He stays level-headed no matter how tense a situation becomes, a quality he considers one of his greatest strengths. He also enjoys working with clients who want to understand how the system works, and he takes the time to explain strategy and procedure in a way that empowers them. Teaching clients and giving them knowledge is something he genuinely enjoys.

Outside the office, John is a long-distance runner who completes marathons and half marathons. Training keeps him focused, disciplined, and grounded, qualities that show up naturally in his work. A lifelong learner who is always looking for ways to grow, John brings dedication, patience, and a calm, thoughtful style to every case he handles at LLG National Law Group.
