Romanucci & Blandin

What Romanucci & Blandin does

Romanucci & Blandin is a Chicago-based, plaintiff-side personal injury and civil litigation law firm founded in 1998 by Antonio M. Romanucci and Stephan D. Blandin. The firm represents individual plaintiffs and mass-tort classes across roughly a dozen practice areas, including medical malpractice, civil rights and police misconduct, sexual abuse and hazing, workplace and FELA injuries, transportation accidents, premises and product liability, nursing home abuse, birth injuries, environmental and toxic torts, and wrongful death. Its revenue model is contingency-based: clients pay no fee unless the firm obtains compensation, with the firm taking a percentage of verdicts and settlements. Headcount is in the 51-100 range across a Chicago headquarters and a DuPage County satellite office, and the firm advertises a national reach across all 50 U.S. states through its attorney referral program and co-counsel network.

The firm has accumulated over $1 billion in total client recoveries since inception, with $570 million-plus in verdicts/settlements disclosed for sexual-abuse and environmental/toxic-tort matters alone during 2024-2025. It holds court-appointed leadership roles in marquee national litigation (Plaintiffs' Executive Committee for Boeing MAX-8, Lead Counsel for Pulse Nightclub and Beach Park Chemical Spill, Steering Committee for Las Vegas Shooting, Co-Lead Counsel for ComEd/Exelon class action and Chicago Red Light Ticket litigation), reinforcing its position as a top-tier catastrophic-injury and civil-rights plaintiff firm. Client acquisition is sales-led and reputation-driven: multi-channel content marketing (blog, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), earned media coverage in 400+ outlets, an Attorney Referral Program, and free case evaluations form the core go-to-market. The firm has no disclosed AI, software, or proprietary technology platform, and no patents or trademarks; competitive advantage is grounded in brand, talent, and litigation track record rather than technology.
