About the attorney
A Chicago native who served his country — and now serves his clients.
Arthur J. Porto grew up in Chicago and earned his undergraduate degree at DePaul University. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, paused law school to deploy to Bagram, Afghanistan, in Operation Enduring Freedom, then returned to graduate cum laude.
His courtroom experience began on the defense side — at the Alternate Public Defender in San Diego and the DuPage County Public Defender. Today his office sits in the heart of Chicago's legal community, and his family has been part of the city's real estate market for more than 40 years.
