Biography

Judith (Judy) Conway represents victims of serious personal injury and wrongful death, from the initial client introduction through trial and appeal. She focuses on representing victims of mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, and other asbestos related diseases.

During her career, Ms. Conway has successfully represented hundreds of clients and their families in recovering for their personal injury or death. She has secured tens of millions of dollars in settlements for wrongful death and survival action cases in Illinois, and serves as lead counsel for plaintiff’s asbestos litigation and sexual abuse litigation across the United States. Judy played a critical role in obtaining a $20 million settlement, which occurred during closing arguments of a three-week jury trial.

Ms. Conway received her Juris Doctor from the University of Michigan Law School. While attending Michigan Law, she was elected President of the Law School Student Senate. Judy earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame where she completed a triple major in Political Science, Spanish, and Sociology.

As an attorney, Ms. Conway is active in several bar associations and charitable organizations, including the Illinois State Bar Association, American Bar Association, Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, Chicago Federation of Labor, Oak Park River Forest Community Foundation, the Notre Dame Club of Chicago, and the Michigan Law Alumni Club of Chicago.
