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.

A lawsuit isn’t necessarily the right answer every time you are wronged. For example, if the harm is minor, it’s not always worth it. Lawsuits are time consuming and expensive. The frustrating part of this is that the wrongdoer seems to get away with what they did and escape responsibility. One answer is a class […]
