Marvet M. Sweis Drnovsek of Levin & Perconti Receives “40 Illinois Attorneys Under Forty” Honor

Marvet M. Sweis Drnovsek, an associate attorney at Levin & Perconti, has been named as one of the Law Bulletin Publishing Company’s “40 Illinois attorneys under 40 to watch.”

This award honors the top “40 Under Forty” Illinois attorneys under the age of 40, for their outstanding achievements on behalf of clients, their contributions to the legal profession, and their commitment to their community.

Marvet is the fifth attorney from Levin & Perconti to receive this recognition in the past six years.

Marvet joined Levin & Perconti in 2011.  As the firm’s Director of Intake and Case Management, Marvet has a unique and crucial role with the firm.  Marvet speaks with hundreds of potential clients every month.

She is a top decision maker and gate keeper responsible for determining which potential cases the firm will investigate. This role requires an unmatched understanding of a variety of medical and professional liability issues to determine if new matters should be investigated further. Some of the cases Marvet has worked on includes a $3 million verdict in a drowning death case, a $750,000 settlement in a nursing home neglect case, and a $410,000 settlement in a medical malpractice case for an 89-year-old woman.

Marvet attended Saint Germaine Elementary School in Oak Lawn, IL. She graduated from Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School in 2000, where she currently serves as a member of the Mother McAuley Law Society, advocating for the empowerment and advancement of young women.
