Michael Shinsky's serious approach coupled with his extensive trial experience has provided him with the necessary tools to represent his clients with excellent results. After obtaining his law degree with honors in 2001, Michael served as a prosecutor with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, where he rapidly ascended the ranks, prosecuting cases on behalf of children who were abused and neglected.

In 2004, Michael joined the law firm of Schwartz Jambois, where he utilizes those trial skills in pursuit of justice for injured individuals and their families in the civil arena.

Currently, Michael focuses his practice on representing and protecting the legal rights of those who have suffered serious, life-altering personal injuries caused by the negligence of others and seeking justice for the families of those victims who have lost their lives due to negligence.
