Biography

Thomas M. Power is a partner at Power Rogers LLP in Chicago, Illinois, where he has represented injured individuals and families since 1992. His practice focuses on complex plaintiff-side litigation, including medical negligence, serious personal injury claims, wrongful death matters, and product liability cases arising from dangerous or defective products. Through decades of courtroom and litigation experience, he has worked with clients across Illinois seeking accountability after significant injuries and losses.

During his seven-year tenure, he handled approximately 300 jury and bench trials involving a wide range of criminal matters, from misdemeanor offenses to serious felony and capital cases.

In addition to his litigation work, Mr. Power has contributed to legal education as an adjunct professor teaching trial practice at DePaul University College of Law. His experience in the courtroom and the classroom reflects a long-standing commitment to the practice of law and the development of effective advocacy skills.
