Extraordinary lawyer

Being a giver to his family and community, Bogie focused on legal aid as a means to help the underserved. He has worked in almost every area of law at every level: jury trials, state and federal appellate courts and the Illinois Supreme Court. He has been a court- appointed arbitrator in the 19th Judicial Circuit for over 20 years. In addition, Bogie has tried bench and jury trials in both state and federal court on behalf of victims of personal injuries and has extensive experience handling arbitrations and mediations including those involving uninsured motorists.

Bogie values the creativity required in narrowing an issue and arguing it effectively. It is said that the work of a trial lawyer is three parts preparation and one part courage; this suits Bogie, who is known to be both audacious and tenacious on behalf of his clients.

Having a passion of life, Bogie uses his free time to try a range of adventurous hobbies, including racing sailboats, flying, skiing, hot-air ballooning, and even sampling life on a research submarine. He credits his daughter with keeping him young.

It’s not often you’ll find attorneys who make you feel heard and get you great results, but Bogie and Katie always deliver on both fronts. They take the time to walk you through the entire process and make sure to keep your needs as their top priority. I can’t recommend them enough!!

The case that Bogdan Martinovich worked on lasted for a few years due to Covid at the time. He worked very diligently on the case and kept us informed throughout the whole process with updates. Amazing, informative, and helpful with my first experience with this process!
