asked to provide his bio for this first edition of the newsletter. Thanks, John, for
getting us started.
John was born and raised in a small town into Wisconsin in a large family of
a general practice physician and a loving stay-at-home mother. John watched his
father manage and operate his general medical practice with a holistic approach
with a confidential, nurturing and positive bedside manner.
After attending University of Wisconsin-Madison and the John Marshall Law
School in a Chicago, he embarked on his legal career practicing in the litigation
department of small and mid-sized law firms. In 2001, John formed Galarnyk &
Associates, Ltd., modeling his firm after his father’s medical practice, intent upon
providing a holistic approach to law with a confidential, nurturing and positive
bedside manner.
John has become an accomplished general practice lawyer and civil litigator.
Possessing knowledge, experience, drive and unique problem solving capabilities,
John is the ideal lawyer for individuals, families and small and medium sized
businesses facing problems that require personal, creative and confidential
solutions. With 25+ years of experience, John has a proven track record of building
teams of professionals to provide expertise for his clients in various jurisdictions
and in difference forums across the country on behalf of an impressive list of past
and present clients.
In 2008, John attended Northwestern University’s School of Continuing Studies
where he received a certificate in Investigation And Prevention of Commercial
Fraud. The course work included significant attention to computers, electronic
stored information and electronic discovery, which has been incorporated into the
firm’s expertise.
John’s innate problem solving abilities, unique skills and
personal touch have allowed him to win over potential clients
who were looking for representation from much larger law
firms. They find that his smart, tough, thoughtful, and personal
approach best leads to their desired and winning results.
John is actively involved in his two children’s schools, and in
various charitable entities and endeavors.
