Boetto & Boetto
Insurance Agency and Boetto & Boetto
Attorney’s at Law were both founded by
P. Francis Boetto.
As a teenager, P.
Francis Boetto (Francis) lived in Coal
City, Illinois and had a job there
working in the coal mines. Despite his
youth, he ran for office as union
representative and won. His duties
included negotiations on behalf of the
Union with the attorneys for the owners
of the coal mine. It was during one of
those negotiations that one of the
company’s attorneys became impressed by
Francis. The attorney convinced Francis
to come to Chicago, Illinois, where he
set him up with a job in the post
office, a place to live in his home, and
arranged to enroll him in school. The
attorney mentored Francis through De
Paul University School of Law where he
graduated as Salutatorian in 1917.
After graduation,
Francis decided to begin practicing law
in Chicago, Illinois. A few years later
he moved his office to Joliet, Illinois
and in 1923 he established Boetto &
Boetto Insurance Agency with his wife,
Fanne Boetto. They had two children,
Dominic and Rosemary.
Dominic F. Boetto
graduated from the University of Notre
Dame and De Paul University School of
Law and began practicing after his
service in the U. S. Navy in World War
II. He returned to the service in the
Korean War. During that service, the
news came that his father, Francis, was
killed in an automobile accident. He
was immediately released from his
military duties and returned to Joliet,
Illinois to continue the practice of law
and carry on the insurance business.
For the next thirty
years, Dominic continued to grow the
businesses while raising nine children
with his wife, Gladys (Terry).
In 1981 Dominic’s
son, Paul V. Boetto, a graduate of
Villanova University and Northern
Illinois School of Law, began practicing
law for Boetto & Boetto, and continues
in the practice to this day.
A few years later,
Dominic’s son, Marc D. Boetto, joined
the Boetto & Boetto Insurance Agency as
a licensed insurance producer and agent,
during which time the agency expanded
it’s lines.
After more than 50
years in the businesses, Dominic F.
Boetto passed away in 2001. Paul and
Marc continue to carry on the family
business today and are grateful to their
grandfather, Francis, and their father,
Dominic, for their valuable skills in
forming and building Boetto & Boetto.
