Martin W. Jaszczuk

Martin Jaszczuk started law school at the age of 19. By the time he was 21, he tried more than a dozen cases to verdict on Canada’s equivalent of a 7/11 license. He obtained his first law degree in Canada at 22 and his second law degree in the U.S. at 25. By his mid-thirties, Martin was the head of one of the country’s first TCPA class action practice groups at an AmLaw100 firm and was retained by some of the largest public and private companies in the U.S. to lead the defense of nationwide TCPA class actions seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. At Jaszczuk P.C., a Chicago-based boutique litigation firm with a nationwide practice, Martin handles high-stakes litigation for both plaintiffs and defendants.
