About Me
- Jack Leyhane
- For over 40 years I concentrated my law practice in insurance coverage, insurance litigation, insurance defense, and civil appeals. Although I am currently retired from active practice, I continue to serve as an Arbitrator in Cook County Municipal and Law cases. I am also certified as a Mediator in the Cook County Law Division Major Case Court-Annexed Civil Mediation Program and the Chancery Division Mediation Program.
