Our Talent

In Memoriam: John J. Pembroke

May 27, 1950 – September 19, 2025

Robbins DiMonte deeply mourns the passing of our colleague, John J. Pembroke. With more than 45 years of legal experience and nearly five decades as a CPA, John brought with him a lifetime of experience, wisdom, and perspective.

John’s career spanned tax, estate, and business planning, where he earned a reputation for guiding clients through tough situations with insight, trust, and clarity. He counseled clients on asset protection, business transactions, real estate, taxation, and trusts and estate planning, always drawing on his dual expertise as both an attorney and financial professional. Prior to joining Robbins DiMonte, John was the founder and managing attorney of John J. Pembroke & Associates, located in Park Ridge, Illinois, where he built a respected practice grounded in integrity, sharp intellect, and unwavering dedication to his clients.

Beyond his many professional achievements, John was a lifetime learner, an avid reader of history and science fiction, and a civic-minded member of the Park Ridge Rotary and local bar associations. He took great pride in his community and cherished the time spent with his family, especially his wife Mary and their two children, Bridget and Jack. His colleagues and clients will remember him not only for his wisdom and professionalism but also his warmth, humor, and genuine care for others.

The loss of John J. Pembroke leaves a profound void in the legal and financial communities, and within Robbins DiMonte. We are honored to have known John, whose legacy of service, intellect and devotion will be remembered for many years to come.
