BRION DOHERTY: ATTORNEY, NAPLETON & PARTNERS

With more than two decades of courtroom experience, Brion Doherty is a seasoned trial attorney devoted to securing justice for individuals and families affected by personal injury and wrongful death. A partner at Napleton & Partners—a premier Illinois law firm with a legacy spanning more than 40 years—Doherty has built a reputation for excellence. “I’m a trial lawyer focusing primarily on medical malpractice, but I also handle a broad range of personal injury and wrongful death cases—from truck and auto collisions to product liability, premises liability, and police misconduct,” says Doherty. “I was drawn to the law because I’ve always admired how lawyers can help people in their most difficult moments.” His track record speaks for itself. Doherty has obtained dozens of multimillion dollar verdicts and settlements, earning the trust of clients and the respect of peers across the legal community. Recent successes include an $8 million medical malpractice settlement for the wrongful death of a 75 year-old man resulting from improper treatment following a surgery, a $3.4 million verdict for a man who was attacked in a bar by a gun-wielding patron, and a $3.75 million medical malpractice settlement for a man that suffered permanent injuries due to delays in his treatment at the hospital. “There’s nothing more fulfilling than standing before a jury, telling my client’s story, and seeing that story validated with a just verdict,” he says. “Over time, I discovered that representing injured individuals in the courtroom was where my passion truly lay. Trial work allows me to hold wrongdoers accountable.” His accolades include recognition as a “Leading Lawyer” by Leading Lawyers magazine and selection as a “Super Lawyer”—an honor reserved for the top five percent of attorneys in Illinois. He is also a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), an invitation-only organization. At the heart of Doherty’s work is a deep commitment to accountability and justice—ensuring that those harmed by negligence have a powerful advocate in their corner. “The most rewarding part of my work is helping good people through the most difficult chapters of their lives. Many of my clients have experienced devastating losses—whether it’s the death of a loved one or a life-altering injury,” he adds. “It’s a privilege to play a part in that journey, and to hold those responsible accountable for the harm they’ve caused.”
