When you co-sign for a friend or family member, you’re doing them a big favor. You are letting them use your good credit and reliable income, and it’s usually because theirs isn’t good enough. The creditor, whether it’s a mortgage lender, car dealer or landlord, thinks it’s too risky to lend to your friend or […]
We are happy to investigate possible legal malpractice lawsuits. It would be hypocritical not to as we are willing to sue doctors and other professionals when they screw up. What I’ve found interesting over the years about the valid cases we’ve pursued (and by valid, I mean a lawsuit was filed) is that the attorneys […]
H-1B visas allow U.S. employers to hire specialty workers (non-U.S. citizens) to come to the United States to live and work. The visas often last three years but can be extended to six years. The H-1B visa program was touted as a way to bring the world’s best technology minds to the United States. What […]
There are some attorneys in Illinois who will not sue another law firm. I think this is hypocritical. I carry legal malpractice insurance and if I screw up in a way that causes you irreparable harm, you should sue me. If I didn’t screw up, I can fight the case. It’s no different that suing […]
When people call us for a referral and say they want the “best” attorney in Chicago (or any other area of the state), we tell them that we agree with their high standards but we have an even better approach.

We don’t blame people for being upset when their case doesn’t turn out as they’d hoped. The legal system is adversarial. When you have one side against another, someone is going to lose. But how do you know if it’s your lawyer’s fault? There are so many factors that lead to the outcome in a […]
The Family Medical Leave Act, or FMLA, allows you to take time off of work for serious illness or the birth or adoption of a child. The serious illness can be your own, or something affecting a close family member. So you can take the leave for yourself, or to care for a spouse, minor […]
A whistle blower is someone who alerts the government to fraud. The term often gets used in a broad sense to describe someone exposing the unethical or illegal behavior of a corporation. Actual whistle blowing, however, is exposing fraud against the government. If your employer is cheating customers, encouraging sexual harassment in the workplace, or […]
The Illinois Dead Man’s Act is a law about evidence. It essentially protects someone who isn’t able to testify, either because they are dead or because they are incapacitated and mentally incompetent to testify. The other side is not allowed to testify about conversations they had with the deceased. The idea is that they would […]
