Background

About James Dimeas

I am a 24-year veteran litigator with extensive trial experience who works on complex criminal cases. I have the unique distinction of never having lost a case in DuPage County. I represent clients in cases involving serious state and federal charges and have been featured on WGN News, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Chicago Tribune, and numerous other publications. I started practicing law in 1992 when I started working for one of Chicago's busiest Plaintiff's personal injury firms. Within a couple of months of becoming a lawyer, I was doing jury trials at the Daley Center, and taking on powerful insurance companies and their experienced and high priced lawyers. I am licensed to practice in all Illinois state courts, the 7th Federal Circuit Court, and am a member of the Federal Trial Bar. I have appeared in Federal Courts as far away as Las Vegas, Nevada. I am also a published author having written Chapter 1 of "Strategies for Defending Identity Theft Cases: Leading Lawyers on Understanding Identity Theft Crime, Preparing a Thorough Defense, and Managing Technological Evidence (Inside the Minds)," a book published by Thomson Reuters, that helps teach attorneys how to represent defendants charged with Identity Theft crimes. As a leading lawyer, I "wrote the book" on how to defend people charged with Identity Theft. http://store.westlaw.com/strategies-defending-identity-theft-cases-leading-lawyers-on-understanding-crime/184367/41263125/productdetail In 2015 I was named a "Top 100 Criminal Defense Trial Lawyer" by The National Trial Lawyers.
