Joseph Bombagetti
His ARDC address of record is in Indiana, not Illinois — Schererville, about thirty miles from downtown Chicago and inside the Chicago metro, but across a state line. He is the only listing on this site whose bar address of record sits in a different state from the city we list him under. He is Illinois-admitted and his firm bio says he has tried cases in Illinois and Indiana.
The bar record
We read Joseph Bombagetti in the public register of the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois. This is what it says.
and pending proceedings
What the ARDC will and won’t stand behind. It enumerates what that discipline line covers: all public discipline, court-ordered disability inactive status, reinstatement and restoration dispositions, and pending public proceedings — with no cut-off date. It then says investigations are confidential and that information about whether one exists is not available. So “None” means the register shows no public discipline and no pending public proceeding. It does not mean no complaint was ever made. We report the register, not an inference from it.
The insurance line is his, not the register’s. Illinois publishes a malpractice-insurance field, which most registers do not — but read its wording. It says the attorney reported at annual registration that he or his firm maintains cover. The ARDC is publishing his answer, not verifying it. Arizona and Washington publish an insurance field too; Illinois is the one that names whose claim it is.
What the record shows
The registered address on his ARDC record is Kelly Law Offices LLC, 1619 Junction Avenue, Schererville, Indiana 46375, with an Indiana telephone number. The register carries no Illinois office for him.Verified
Schererville sits in the Chicago metropolitan area, roughly thirty miles south-east of the Loop. That is a shorter distance than several listings we have accepted in other metros — but it is the first time the address crosses a state line, so we say so on the card rather than in a footnote.Verified
His practice as published runs wider than any other Chicago listing here: alongside motorcycle, car and truck crashes it covers real estate, mechanic’s liens, breach of contract and business litigation.Verified
What the firm says
His bio lists admission in Indiana in 2009 and in the Northern District of Illinois and the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana. The ARDC publishes no other-state admissions field at all, so none of that is bar-checked here.Reported
He says he is an A.B.A.T.E.-instructed rider and a member of the American Association of Motorcycle Injury Lawyers.Reported
He says he helps motorcycle groups seeking 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) status with their start-up paperwork on a pro bono basis, without charge.Reported
