We are thrilled to welcome Trevor Granberg as a Partner at the Law Offices of Parente & Norem, where he now leads our Workers’ Compensation Department. With a deep commitment to advocating for injured workers and a proven track record of securing favorable outcomes in complex claims, Trevor brings a powerful blend of experience, insight, and compassion to the firm.

Trevor’s career has been rooted in protecting the rights of injured workers under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act, including those facing catastrophic injuries, permanent disabilities, occupational exposure, and wage differential or loss of trade issues. His background is uniquely balanced; he began his legal journey on the petitioner’s side and later represented municipalities and public safety departments on the defense side. This rare dual perspective allows him to anticipate insurance company tactics and tailor smart, results driven litigation strategies.

Throughout his career, Trevor has successfully tried numerous cases before Arbitrators, appealed benefit denials, and deposed a wide range of medical and vocational experts to strengthen his clients’ positions. His thoughtful, thorough approach consistently delivers positive outcomes that restore financial stability and peace of mind to injured workers across the state.

Trevor earned his J.D. from the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law, where he made the Dean’s List and was actively involved in the Pro Bono Program and the International Human Rights Clinic. He holds a B.S. in Political Science from Minnesota State University, Mankato, where he graduated cum laude.

As the new head of our Workers’ Compensation Department, Trevor is building a client-first practice dedicated to maximizing benefits, restoring lives, and fighting for those who need it most. We are proud to have him on our team and look forward to the outstanding advocacy and leadership he brings to our clients and our firm.

Welcome, Trevor!
