Attributing his success as a law professional to his strong support network, family, and friends, Mr. Bilmes prepared for his career by earning a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Michigan-Dearborn in 2009 followed by a Doctor of Jurisprudence from Wayne State University Law School in 2013, after which he was admitted to the Illinois State Bar Association.
