Chicago, IL commercial litigation attorney James DiTommaso talks about why he became a lawyer and the most rewarding aspect of his practice. He explains that his decision to become a lawyer was inspired by his father. His father instilled in him the value of being the person others turn to in difficult situations, and he aspired to follow in those footsteps. Today, he views himself as that problem solver—someone clients can rely on when they need guidance and support.

When asked about the most rewarding aspect of his practice, he highlights the satisfaction that comes at the conclusion of a case. After a lawsuit is resolved, clients often reach out to express their gratitude and relief, thanking him for his efforts. For him, those moments of appreciation—when clients can finally breathe easier—serve as the defining reward and the reason he is passionate about practicing law.
