New Law Practice in McHenry

Hello. My name is Genevieve M. Lynott. I am the owner and proprietor of the Law Office of Genevieve M. Lynott. I am a trial attorney and a mediator practicing out of McHenry Illinois who is here to help you. Since this is my first blog, I thought this would be a great opportunity to introduce myself.

If we want to go back to the beginning of it all the story goes like this: I was born in Evanston, lived in Rogers Park, at 4 years old moved to McHenry with my family, went to Landmark, Valley View, Parkland, and Marian Central Catholic High School, then went to DePaul University for undergrad and DePaul Law School for Law School.

Don’t worry, my education didn’t stop there. I had some of the best mentors in the practice of law: Paul Brocksmith taught me how to write as a lawyer, Marc Lipinski taught me how to stand up for my clients no matter what and who gave me the education in the Fred Lane Trial Techniques class for professionals. The National Association of Women in Construction taught me through their blue print reading course and I became certified as a construction industry technician (Not that you need any additional certifications to be a lawyer in the State of Illinois). While I was blooming as an amazing trial attorney, other people started to recognize gifts in me that I did not even see.

Feel free to look at my results to see some of the things I have done. I thank Harry McKee for recognizing how good I am at trial early on in my career. It was before Judge Pallmeyer in Federal Court, and I was just out of school. Harry was my boss, at the time, and was generous enough to allow me, a young attorney, to question the witnesses. What was even more amazing when he came back to the office and told his partners that I have talent. YEAH for me… but more YEAH for the client.

I have enjoyed an active trial practice for the last eight years. Sometimes cases do have to go to trial, but not all of them. Alternative dispute resolutions are a great format to work out matters.

Another former boss convinced me how well I relate to people… and to take the 40 hour mediation training course from DePaul University College of Law Center for Dispute Resolution certification (Not that you need any additional certifications to be a lawyer in the State of Illinois). Listening to the needs and interests behind the problem settle disputes with much more control and power to the parties involved.

No matter what your legal need, it’s likely that I can help you. I guaranty that I will listen to you. If desired, we can come up with an action plan from there. Give me a call (815) 403-6866.
