Todd Bresney
Attorney and Senior Partner at Kanoski Bresney
Todd is the Senior Partner of Kanoski Bresney. He is also the Senior Trial Attorney who manages the complex litigation division of the law firm. Kanoski Bresney was established over 40 years ago and is a full service personal injury law firm that has 8 central Illinois office locations and a litigation practice that spans throughout the State of Illinois.
He has worked at the Federal Trade Commission and the States Attorney for Cook County. However, he spent the majority of his early career in Chicago representing and defending some of the largest insurers and corporations in the country.
Since 2002, Todd has dedicated his professional life to representing people who were harmed by others and who he believes are further victimized by more powerful insurance companies and big businesses. He has an incredibly unique perspective from being a past top trial attorney for many of these companies. He has litigated cases all over the nation and throughout Illinois, along with notable achievements of receiving record verdicts.
