Dominic started his legal career in 2007 at the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, Criminal Appeals Division, and he continued his prosecutorial career at the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office in 2010. While representing the People of the State of Illinois as an Assistant State’s Attorney, Dominic worked in the traffic, misdemeanor trial, felony review, and felony trial divisions.
In 2013, Dominic co-founded the law firm of Carponelli & Buttitta, LLC. As a criminal and DUI defense attorney, Dominic not only continued his criminal trial work, but he also further honed his litigation skills by co-heading the firm’s civil practice. Dominic actively represented clients in the civil area, including matters related to Family Law (Divorce/Child Custody), Commercial Litigation, Real Estate, and Personal Injury.
Subsequently, in 2015, Dominic reformed his legal practice and founded Buttitta Law Group, LLC. Since then, Dominic has continued to represent clients in criminal, family, and civil matters, and has dedicated himself to always continue building upon his legal prowess. As such, Dominic has tried well over one hundred (100) cases to verdict before judge or jury, is recognized yearly as both an Illinois Super Lawyer and National Top 100 Trial Attorney, and serves as counsel for a variety of corporations, small and large business entities, executives, and countless private individuals that just want a lawyer they can depend on and trust. Dominic was also a Judicial Candidate for the Circuit Court of Cook County in 2022.
Unlike many other attorneys, Dominic is uniquely qualified to handle a variety of legal disputes and strives to approach every case in a bold, aggressive, innovative, and no-nonsense fashion. He makes it his mission to hold his opponents to their burden, whether it is proof beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal case or proof by a preponderance of the evidence or clear and convincing evidence in civil disputes.
Dominic hails from a family of attorneys, including his two sisters, Angela M. Buttitta and Dominique A. Buttitta, both of whom he practices alongside at Buttitta Law Group, LLC on a daily basis. For Dominic and his family, practicing law isn’t just a career; it’s a way of life.
