When You Want To Change The Law In Illinois

Illinois Law, Difference Between Civil And Criminal Cases

One thing I try to do as an attorney is to remember that non-lawyers shouldn’t be expected to know about the law.  It’s no different than if I went to a doctor or a mechanic. I shouldn’t be expected to know how they do their jobs. This thought comes up multiple times a week. I […]

Under Illinois Law, Your Lawyer Can’t Date You

As attorneys, a mistake we can make is to assume that the general public knows something that to us is basic knowledge.

I Want To Sue AT&T But Can’t Because Of Arbitration Clauses

I really don’t like AT&T or Direct TV.  I’ve had the absolute worst customer service experiences with them. In recent months alone, the following has happened: They offered me faster business internet and said it would be cheaper too.  All they had to do was send out a technician. They did, but in doing so, […]

Unfortunately, among other things, 2020 has been the year of people getting laid off.  It’s understandable that businesses have had to make these tough decisions.  A lot of good workers have found themselves out of work.

The Illinois Public Safety Employee Benefits Act

It’s one thing to say that first responders are heroes and we should appreciate them. It’s another thing to actually do something about it. In Illinois we show appreciation for firemen, EMT’s, law enforcement officers, correctional officers, etc. This is done through the Public Safety Employee Benefits Act.  In a nutshell, if any of these […]
