Plain-spoken advocacy. Real courtroom experience.

You deserve a lawyer who'll tell you the truth.

Tom DeVore is a downstate Illinois trial attorney with more than fifteen years of experience in state and federal courts. Before law, he spent years as an accountant — which means he reads contracts, financial records, and government filings the way most lawyers wish they could. That eye for the facts goes into every case he handles.

Tom built his statewide name during the COVID-era litigation that tested the limits of executive power in Illinois — work that took him into trial courts, appellate courts, and the public eye. He took those cases for the same reason he takes any case: someone needed an advocate, and the people on the other side had every resource and every advantage.

He still practices that way. Plain talk. Honest assessment of your odds. Hard work on the facts. A willingness to go to trial when the case needs trial.
