Staff

Throughout our history, Illinois law has changed, but our commitment to high-quality advocacy has remained the same.

In everything we do, our staff follows our firm's motto: We Work On Each Case As If It Were Our Only One.

We make this promise because we know you are suffering due to another party's carelessness. The trauma you suffered could have long-lasting repercussions on your life and the lives of your loved ones.

We know your decision to file a lawsuit is not made lightly. It is the result of financial necessity. We will fight to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve to adjust to your new circumstances.

Anthony R. Fabiano was the founder of the firm and was engaged in the general practice of law for more than 50 years in Rockford, Illinois. He represented the school teachers in the first segregation case filed in the federal court in Rockford; news reporters when they went on strike in 1971 and shut down the Rockford newspapers for several weeks; persons who suffered serious injuries in auto, train, and other accidents. He prepared wills, probated estates and represented persons charged with a crime.

Tony was the father of two daughters and a son, and all are lawyers; it's a family of lawyers. Janon practiced law with her father for three years and then took a position as an appellate lawyer with the Illinois Attorney General in Chicago. Lisa worked for the federal judge in Rockford for three years and then joined her father and brother Tom in the practice of law. Lisa and Tom represented persons who had suffered serious personal injuries that were caused by someone else's careless behavior. In 2008, Lisa was elected as the Circuit judge for Winnebago and Boone Counties, and she is very happy working as a judge. I miss Janon and Lisa very much, but they had to do their own thing, and I am very happy for them.

In 1996, Tom became a partner in Fabiano Law offices. Tom represents persons who have suffered serious personal injuries caused by the negligence or wrongful behavior of another. Tom does all of the trial work, and Tony did most of everything else.

Tony had been married for 52 years to Marisa Fabiano, who was born and raised in Beloit, Wisconsin. She received her bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and then secured a job at the main public library in Rockford.

Thomas Fabiano has been practicing law for 24 years, the last 20 years as a partner at Fabiano Law Offices. Thomas started out his law career working for a large and aggressive law firm in Chicago defending personal injury lawsuits. During those years of practice, Thomas tried many cases before juries in Chicago, Skokie, Rolling Meadows, and Bridgeview achieving good results. Within a short time of practicing law, Thomas, on several occasions, was asked by the Illinois State Bar Association to speak to lawyers regarding the Supreme Court Rules of Civil Procedure and Trial Strategy.

In 1996, Thomas made the decision to return to his hometown of Rockford, and began practicing with his father, Anthony R. Fabiano. This time, however, Thomas chose to concentrate his practice on helping people who suffered serious personal injuries as the result of someone else's negligence or wrongful conduct.

Shortly after forming Fabiano Law Offices with his father, Thomas and Anthony were joined by another family member, Lisa Fabiano. Lisa practiced with Fabiano Law Offices until 2008 when she became a Circuit Court Judge in Winnebago County. Thomas has tried more than 45 jury trials, including wrongful death cases, closed head injuries, orthopedic injuries, disfigurement cases, ear injuries, injuries from animal attacks, as well as a variety of other injuries. On some occasions, the jury awarded Thomas's client more than what the insurance company offered and even more then what Tom had requested before trial.

In addition to his trial experience, Thomas has successfully resolved hundreds of cases, including brain injury cases, amputation cases, and death cases as a result of automobile collisions, carbon monoxide poisoning, and structural fires. His deliberate and well-prepared approach to handling cases for injured victims has resulted in large corporations changing their safety policies as well as modifying Illinois Law. He frequently serves as local counsel for out of state lawyers and is asked to work on cases with other lawyers. Thomas understands that a person's life and family can be greatly disrupted because of a loved one suffering serious injuries and so he approaches each case as if it is his only case.

Thomas has been married to Seema Fabiano, a second-grade school teacher, for 18 years, and they have four children. When not working, Thomas enjoys spending time with his family, working out, coaching kids sports, and reading. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and serves the City of Rockford's Zoning Board.
