Mark P. Sutter

Mark P. Sutter spent years as a Cook County prosecutor before building one of Oakbrook Terrace's most versatile trial practices. As a prosecutor with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office before entering private practice, Mr. Sutter personally tried more than 350 combined civil and criminal bench and jury trials and successfully argued numerous cases before the Illinois Appellate Courts. Courtroom volume at that level builds instincts that can only be earned, and those instincts have defined every chapter of his career since.

A graduate of the DePaul University College of Law with more than two decades in practice, Mr. Sutter has spent his career on both sides of the courtroom, and that dual perspective is his clients' advantage. Since 2005, he has applied his trial and negotiation skills to representing hundreds of victims of serious injury and wrongful death, first as a partner of Sutter & Ori, LLC and today as founder, CEO, and Managing Member of Sutter Law Group, LLC. Under his leadership, the firm's attorneys have amassed over $100 million in settlements and verdicts for their clients.

Sutter Law Group, based at One Lincoln Centre in Oakbrook Terrace, was built on a distinctive model: a group of hand-selected attorneys covering the full spectrum of legal needs, including state and federal criminal defense, personal injury and wrongful death, medical malpractice, workers' compensation, and DUI defense, serving clients throughout Cook and DuPage Counties and across Illinois. Peers describe Mr. Sutter as an analytical, creative thinker with excellent trial skills who advocates forcefully for his clients, and his client reviews consistently reflect the accessibility and candor he considers central to the practice.

Mr. Sutter approaches each matter with a simple commitment: understand the client's circumstances, explain the options clearly, and work relentlessly toward the best possible outcome. His selection as a 2026 Top Attorney in America recognizes a trial lawyer whose record, in volume, versatility, and results, places him among the most accomplished courtroom advocates in Illinois.
