About Carol Coplan Babbitt

Carol Coplan Babbitt, a dedicated litigation attorney, has been practicing since 1988 and operates her own firm in Des Plaines, Illinois. Her practice is centered on employment litigation, where she addresses issues such as discrimination, harassment, retaliation, whistle-blower claims, and disputes over unpaid wages and non-compete clauses. Carol is committed to achieving favorable outcomes for her clients by being directly involved in every stage of the legal process.

Since founding her firm in 1997, Carol has built a reputation as a tenacious advocate. Her approach extends beyond formal litigation, encompassing consultation, negotiation of severance agreements, and participation in pre-litigation mediation and administrative proceedings with government agencies.

In addition to employment matters, Carol handles general commercial litigation, representing businesses such as law firms and insurance agencies. She assists in disputes related to unlawful competitive practices and seeks monetary compensation for services rendered.
