Michael
Stefanos
a dupage county attorney
Before becoming a licensed attorney, Michael Stefanos spent nearly 20 years in the automotive industry, where he learned the tricks of the trade.
Michael started in the automotive business from the ground up, beginning as a service porter and eventually working as General Manager of a local Ford dealership. Throughout his automotive career, Michael assembled and led numerous sales teams, introduced several branding campaigns, was responsible for the day-to-day operations of a 50mm business unit, and garnered several industry awards along the way. While Michael’s career in the automotive industry was certainly rewarding, Michael realized that the industry was unfortunately plagued by deceptive and unethical business practices that left customers without equal bargaining power for recourse against the mega dealer.
