Welcome

Illinois Trial Attorneys

Welcome to the Strategic Conflict Group of J. S. Barney and Associates, Ltd. We are  an aggressive group of Illinois business and tort litigation attorneys trained in the Art of Conflict™. We litigate aggressively. We also negotiate aggressively. When we negotiate, we negotiate from a position of strength because we assume that each case we take on will go to trial.

Because many cases do not go to trial, many business lawyers and law firms assume a case will settle and do not properly prepare it for trial. They negotiate from a position of weakness. Our trial oriented philosophy allows our clients to have realistic expectations as to the strengths and weaknesses of their case. This philosophy also translates into an attitude that sends a clear signal to the opposing side that we are serious about litigation. Our business litigation attorneys and tort lawyers have tried literally hundreds of cases to completion. Located in Barrington, Illinois since 1996, we represent clients throughout the state of Illinois. Most of our state court cases are litigated in the greater Chicago and Rockford areas, including Cook, Lake, McHenry, DuPage, Will, Kane, Boone and Winnebago counties. Our federal court cases are litigated primarily in the Northern District of Illinois. We practice at both trial and appellate levels.

Besides our uncompromising approach to litigation, what separates us from other litigation firms is that we search for the best possible solution to your legal needs. Our reputation for aggressively prosecuting our cases drives a steady flow of business to our door from word of mouth, referrals and repeat clients. Consequently, in those cases where litigation is not a good idea, we will advise you up front and give you our opinion of your best options.

Troy Owens heads up our Strategic Conflict Group. He has acted as first chair trial counsel in hundreds of trials including over seventy jury trials. Our tort and business litigation attorneys are experienced in a variety of areas of law and we are prepared to take most forms of business and tort litigation to trial.

We admit that we are an aggressive law firm. We are known for being fierce. If this is the type of representation you want or need, please Contact Us for an appointment to review your situation.
