With the caveat that all of the information I get is from disgruntled patients or their family members along with from malpractice attorneys in Chicago, and just my opinion, I have to wonder how is St. Bernard Hospital in Chicago still in business. In the last month I’ve had six different people call me looking […]
I kind of hate writing posts like this because they seem insensitive. That is not my intention at all, and I almost never do it if it happens in Illinois as I don’t want to be seen as trying to fish for a case. That said, I do find that events like the tragic helicopter […]
I usually post blogs based on good questions I get from callers. Some questions aren’t long enough for a post, but are still worth discussing. Here are some of the best ones I haven’t written about. I got divorced and my attorney called me a couple weeks after the case was done to say I […]
With a history dating back to 1842, Illinois railroads easily are the nation’s most important in terms of the region they serve and the volume of traffic which is handled. Chicago, where the East meets the West, has been coined as the nation’s railroad capitol. Illinois proudly ranks second in the country with the greatest […]
A very nice woman called me recently after getting in to a car accident in Chicago. She has a pretty big injury, and the other car that hit her is clearly at fault. Her concern was that she had just hired a personal injury lawyer in Chicago who advertises a lot. By a lot, I […]
I’ve been involved in a nightmare with UPS over a lost package. It reminds me of a phone call I had from someone once who wanted to sue them over a lost package. That caller, like me, wasn’t as mad at the package going missing as they were at the response by UPS. Their terrible […]

I’ve been a lawyer since 1997 and started this company in 2001. When I did, I came in with two major values about how I’d run this service. First, I try to talk like a real person. I don’t always succeed, but it’s gross when attorneys try to talk all fancy with legal jargon to […]
If you have a suffered a work injury in Illinois, the best-case scenario is to receive excellent medical care and recover well enough to return to work without restrictions. Unfortunately, the process of a Worker’s Compensation claim can often be long, arduous, exhausting and just plain complicated. The capstone to the process often ends with […]
Back in 2013, a really nice woman called us with what seemed like a relatively minor Illinois workers compensation case. She had hit her elbow on something on the job and originally it seemed like a relatively small bone bruise. I didn’t expect that the case would take six years to resolve. I also didn’t […]
