ABOUT THE FIRM

Stacey and Joey have unique and complimentary skillsets which inspired them to open Vucko Law LLP together in 2019 to better serve their clients’ needs. They take a creative approach to problem-solving with the shared goal of finding cost-effective, practical legal solutions.


Joey has over seven years of in-house legal experience and a diverse background in contractual matters, general legal advising and litigation.

From there he worked as an in-house lawyer for a major public relations and marketing consultancy firm. Starting in 2014 and continuing until joining Vucko Law LLP, Joey worked as Corporate Counsel for a worldwide leader in sports performance nutritional foods and supplements. 


Stacey also began her career working for Chicago law firms. Stacey sharpened her litigation skills representing both corporate and individual clients in state and federal court under the guidance of a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers. She then went on to establish her own practice, Vucko Law, where she focused on women’s workplace rights issues. Her background and success in this arena now represent the foundation of Vucko Law LLP’s employment dispute practice.
