Testimonials

Jesse White
Secretary of State

I am proud to state that Tom Tuohy has been my valued friend and legal counsel for more than twenty years. During that course of time, he has also served the legal needs and diligently represented the residents of the Cabrini-Green housing complex, as well as countless individuals and families throughout the State of Illinois. Tom has consistently demonstrated commitment and dedication in his work and in the performance of his law practice responsibilities. He has displayed an ability to work constructively and compassionately with all individuals involved in our system of justice. His positive attitude and conscientious approach to his practice and its inherent legal challenges exemplify the legal temperament, diligence and intellect necessary in jurisprudence.

Tom has also been a longtime advocate for children's rights, as evidenced by his founding of Dreams for Kids, Inc. and being a longtime member of the Board of Directors of the Jesse White Tumbling Team. These positions are truly reflective of his concern for youngsters.

In essence, I consider Tom Tuohy to be one of Illinois' outstanding attorneys and someone that can be relied on and trusted.


Joseph DiLeonardi
Retired U.S. Marshall

Tom Tuohy is a man I have know for over ten years and six of them as my next door neighbor. Tom is a man that depicts the word gentleman to the very letter. In our community, Tom has consistently helped neighbors particularly seniors with their legal problems and for no fee. Tom is the founder of Dreams for Kids, a group of professional people who raise money for the underpriviledged and handicapped children and provide for their needs.

As a retired law enforcement official, I have encountered Tom in many legal matters and found him to have superior knowledge in this area. We are very proud to have Tom as a neighbor and friend.
