Thomas M. Power, a partner of Power Rogers since 1992, brings extensive experience as an Illinois trial lawyer to the law firm and to the plaintiffs he represents in all aspects of Illinois accident law and personal injury law, including wrongful death, automobile negligence, product liability, and medical malpractice.

Prior to joining the leading personal injury law firm in Illinois, Mr. Power was an Illinois trial lawyer for the Cook County Public Defender Murder Task Force. Handling an impressive 300 trials during his seven-year tenure as a public defender, he successfully represented individuals accused of various crimes ranging from simple misdemeanor cases to very serious felony cases, including numerous capital cases. A talented Illinois trial lawyer, Mr. Power taught trial practice as an adjunct professor at DePaul College of Law.

Some of his notable recoveries include the largest knee injury verdict in Indiana history. He achieved this in 1994 when together, with his brother, senior partner Joseph A. Power, he represented a Polish immigrant who sustained a knee injury after his disabled truck was struck. The truck accident case was tried in Federal District Court in Hammond, Ind., where the jury returned a verdict of $1,500,000.00.
