Baseball is back! Hope spring eternal and Cubs fans can dream of winning our first World Series since 2016. And White Sox fans can dream of not losing 100 games. When I was in law school, a professor pointed out to us how everything around us could potentially be a legal issue. It’s really changed […]
With the caveat that there are exceptions to this, generally speaking in life, if you want to have an enforceable agreement with someone, you get it in writing and you both sign off on it. So if someone says they’ll sell you their car for $5,000 and you say sure, it’s not really an agreement. […]
When you hire an attorney in Illinois, you will pay them in one of three ways: It’s up to you and the law firm to agree on what type of fee arrangement to enter in to. No matter what you agree on, your contract with them will likely have a clause that says that they […]

If you have a television and have lived in the Chicago area in the last 20 years, chances are that you’ve seen a commercial of “Dad’s Rights” lawyer Jeffery Leving.
