How can I be arrested if I didn’t do anything?

Not a week goes by where we don’t get a phone call that goes something like this: I broke up with my girlfriend a week ago.  She wasn’t happy about that, but I really sent her over the edge when she saw me with a new girl at a bar in Chicago.  She screamed at […]

Hurt in a bicycle accident? Here’s what you should do.

What are Illinois workers compensation attorney fees?

  A very nice guy called us.  He had injured his rotator cuff while working in Schaumburg.  At first the insurance company was paying all of his medical bills and time off work, but suddenly they stopped doing that without any apparent reason.
