Joe Brocato, a senior partner at the Chicago law firm Gozdecki, Del Giudice, Americus, Farkas & Brocato, is crystal clear on his secret sauce as an attorney. “I love taking all my creative juices from being a musician and a writer of fiction and nonfiction and bringing that to bear as a lawyer to really come up with creative solutions to very difficult legal problems,” he says. Brocato plays multiple instruments and has written fiction books (mystery/thrillers with legal subplots) and nonfiction books on the topics of happiness, music management, and business development.
