Suing for discrimination just got even harder

Although discrimination in the work place happens every day, being able to prove it is another thing.  Winning those lawsuits has always been very hard and usually when someone comes to us with a case, we recommend that they start at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as that is typically the first step in investigating […]

Some Illinois personal injury lawyers have no shame

I was saddened yesterday to talk to the widow of a man who was killed Monday in a trucking accident.  She only called me though because since the accident she has been flooded with calls from law firms and their investigators who are trying to get her to sign up with their firm to pursue […]

“I don’t want to drive in to Chicago for a lawyer”

I get told many times a week from people calling me for a lawyer referral that they don’t want to drive in to the City.  They live in the burbs and want the perfect lawyer in their area. Often this is possible for cases like divorce, DUI, criminal defense, estate planning and minor civil litigation.  […]

Illinois medical malpractice lawsuit – Sometimes it’s wait and see

Some medical negligence cases are obvious right away.  If you go in to have your bad kidney removed and they accidentally take out the good one (that’s rare, but it’s happened), then there is no doubt that you have a case to pursue. But more often than not, it’s not obvious that there is a […]

IDPR investigation defense attorney in Illinois

If you are in a profession that requires a license in order to make a living in that profession, you hope that your license is never called into question. If it is, you should handle the situation with a better-safe-than-sorry approach. For example, even if you are completely innocent of any wrongdoing, we don’t recommend […]

Lawyers behaving badly – Attorney Warren Danz suspended for 30 days

Lawyers behaving badly – Attorney Warren Danz suspended for 30 days When your lawyer gets disciplined by the ARDC (state ethics board), it is not only a bad reflection on them, but in my opinion, it can look bad on their future clients when they get reinstated. A Peoria workers’ compensation attorney, Warren Danz, was […]

The law on grandparent visitation in Illinois

The law does not give grandparents any inherent right to see their grandchildren. The reason behind this is that it would interfere with parental rights, which the law tends to strongly support. Judges, however, can make an exception if the grandparents can prove their case. The law gives parents the priority when it comes to […]

Which lawyer has won the most cases?

Honestly, we don’t really know, because it doesn’t really matter. What matters most is whether your attorney is able to help you meet your goals. We aren’t saying that winning never matters. The point is that winning means something different for every client. A good example is a criminal case. There is a range of […]

Illinois law on vacation pay when you quit or get fired

Most people aren’t aware of their employer’s policy on what happens to their benefits when they quit or get fired. But when one of these things happens, it’s important to be clear on what you’re entitled to. If your boss tells you that you lose your vacation time at termination, it’s definitely something you should […]

Injury lawsuits against Illinois public schools are hard to win

We recently received an inquiry from a parent whose son was injured in gym class. It was more than just a bruise. He had some bleeding in his eye and had to stay home from school and all activities for two weeks. While at home, he was on bed rest. The child then developed cataracts […]
