A few months back, there was a legal “expert” column in the Wall Street Journal about Twitter suing Elon Musk for trying to bail on their deal. I can you that I know nothing about securities law or mergers and acquisitions law, but multiple attorneys online said that this article got just about everything wrong. […]

The most common question that gets asked when someone calls a law firm is “Do I have a case?” To answer that question, the attorney you speak with will ask you a series of questions about the facts of your case. They don’t want or need every detail, but want you to give them a […]
Under Illinois law, if you die and have a will (or die without a will or trust), the process of legally transferring your assets is called probate. Now there are a lot of exceptions such as what happens when you have hardly any assets at all or nobody wants to make a claim to inherit […]
We talk to an average of 10 people a day about Illinois workers’ compensation claims. We hear a lot of the same stories and see a lot of the same insurance companies. By far the one that workers seem to have the most trouble with is Sedgwick. They are a big company that acts as […]
It’s the time of year that people in bad marriages start to think about divorce. Sometimes it’s because around the holidays people take inventory of their life and don’t like where the are. Sometimes being in close quarters with the cold weather pushes people over the edge. Other times it’s a new year and they […]

If you get arrested and charged with a misdemeanor or felony in Cook County, it’s important that you take the charges seriously as jail time is a possibility. The goal is to get the best outcome possible. Sometimes that’s a dismissal of the charges. Sometimes it’s a not guilty finding at trial. Other times it’s […]
It’s not uncommon for me to get a call from someone asking something like, “Who’s the best Chicago personal injury lawyer near me?” The answer to that question really depends on the unique facts of your case and in most cases there are at least a handful of attorneys who could do a great job […]

When it comes to hiring a lawyer in Cook County, where most Illinois lawsuits get filed, it shocks me how long some attorneys wait to file a lawsuit. For most personal injury cases, there is a two year time limit from the accident date to file a lawsuit or the case will be forever barred. […]
I was young, dumb and immature when I decided to go to law school. A college friend had told me that he was applying to law school because there is a lot you can do with a law degree and it was a delay of having to go in to the “real world.” I worked […]
A caller to our office was looking for a medical malpractice attorney in Chicago. They had a routine surgery that itself went well. For whatever reason, the doctor kept the patient sedated for a couple of days after the surgery. During that time his hand and fingers swelled up. It’s to be determined what went […]
I recently binge-watched “Better Call Saul.” It’s a great show, and to me, it’s even more interesting due to how it portrays being a lawyer. While it’s not 100% accurate of course, a lot of what they show mirrors experiences I’ve had when talking to potential clients. In one scene, a person who is suspected […]
Picture a 20-year-old college student from Wilmette, Naperville, or wherever, and they get pulled over and arrested for driving on a revoked license. They themselves aren’t rich but they have rich parents who can hire a good attorney and pay the $1,000 or $2,500 that the Judge asks for bail. Eventually, the case works its […]
When a person lives in an apartment building, what can they reasonably expect in return for the rent they pay? There are obvious answers to this question. A space in which to live and sleep.
