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 […]
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 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. […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
