FIRM HISTORY
C&N was built on the partnership of Michael E. Crane and John D. Norcross (1936-2014), who became close friends as students at Loyola Academy, Dumbach Hall. The two parted ways, traveling to opposite coasts to obtain their undergraduate degrees before returning to Chicago for law school and graduating from Loyola University Chicago School of Law and Northwestern University School of Law respectively.
As new attorneys, Mike and John reconnected and cofounded C&N, turning an old friendship into a strong business partnership that has become a leading firm in the property tax realm.
Today, James P. Boyle and Thomas J. Boyle are honored to carry on Mike and John’s legacy of partnership, trust and excellence in every aspect of the firm’s operations and client service.
