After returning to Chicago to help build a family construction business, Mr. Lichner attended The John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois, where he received his Juris Doctor in May of 2010. While attending law school, Mr. Lichner clerked for the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in the Felony Trial Division at 26th and California.
