About Timothy J. Storm

I represent individuals and businesses in Illinois appeals. Nearly all of my cases are referred to me by solo and small firm lawyers. A substantial part of my work is devoted to helping lawyers with appeals and appeal-adjacent matters and providing educational material on appellate practice.Here are a few examples of resources I provide: Solo and small firm attorneys have turned to me for almost 30 years as their trusted outside appellate counsel with a record of success in challenging adverse judgments and defending trial court wins in Illinois reviewing courts. I also assist before judgment by consulting on case strategy and jurisdictional issues, briefing critical trial court motions, and making the case \"appeal-ready\" during trial. As the author of, the comprehensive two volume treatise, some might say I literally \"wrote the book\" on Illinois appellate practice. I am also the sole author of two other treatises on Illinois law and practice: and. All three are published by Thomson Reuters and are searchable on Westlaw. My MCLE-approved series on Illinois appellate practice titled \"Civil Appeal Basics\" is featured in the Illinois State Bar Association on-demand online CLE catalog, available to ISBA members for MCLE credit free of charge.If you\'d like to discuss your case or appeal issue, you can contact me at t•••@law-storm.com.
