About
I am a 28+ year resident of Will County, Illinois. I am married and have a daughter attending Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My twin sons both attend Joliet West High School in Joliet, Illinois. I am a member and former President of the Will County Bar Association, and have been the managing partner of McNamara Phelan McSteen, LLC since its inception in 2005. I am also a member of the Board of Trustees for Joliet Montessori School.A former high school and college varsity athlete, I now restrict my athletic endeavors to bicycling and watching my kids compete in soccer and track and field. I have been a trial lawyer since starting to practice in 1992, focusing first in employment law, then in labor law and criminal defense, and, for the last eighteen years, primarily in the area of personal injury. I have practiced in trial and appellate courts in Missouri and in Illinois, and have argued before the Illinois Supreme Court. I am also a member of the federal trial bar in the Central and Northern Districts of Illinois.

Reviews
Unfortunately, we had to use Tom on multiple occasions due to some personal and delicate situations. Tom took the time to explain and ensure all of my expectations were realistic. Both my wife and I view Tom as a friend now, he has the unique ability to dissolve the "Lawyer" stereotype and just would get it done for us. A true pleasure to work with.
He was excellent in every way.
I contacted Mr. Polacek to represent me for my many traffic citations. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He guided me through the entire process and helped me obtain the judgement I was hoping to receive . I highly recommend Mr. Polacek and his firm for your legal needs.
This was our first experience with a personal injury attorney. Tom Polacek and his staff were easy to contact and easy to work with. He always kept us updated on the progress of our case. All decisions were made after we either had an office or phone consultation with Mr. Polacek and he always thoroughly explained all of our options to us. Mr. Polacek is very professional, honest, respectful, easy to work with and helped us bring closure to our situation. We highly recommend Tom Polacek and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again if needed.
