85 lawyers with active licenses to practice in Geneva as of June

There were 85 lawyers with active licenses to practice in Geneva as of June, according to the ARDC of the Supreme Court of Illinois.

According to the ABA's 2025 National Lawyer Population Survey, Illinois had one of the highest concentrations of lawyers in the United States, with 61,945 resident active attorneys statewide.

That total places Illinois among a small group of states accounting for a significant share of the nation's legal workforce, reflecting its importance within the broader U.S. legal system.

As of July 2026, average lawyer salaries in Illinois ranged from $101,981 for an entry-level attorney handling routine legal work to $258,434 for highly experienced attorneys managing complex cases with significant autonomy. Mid-level attorneys, such as those in Attorney III roles—who handle highly complex legal work with moderate supervision—earned on average $191,256 in Illinois, compared to $187,635 nationwide.

Data refers to all lawyers who were actively practicing during this time period.
