Despite what insurance companies and some politicians like to tell people, it’s very hard to win a medical malpractice lawsuit in Illinois. You need to show that the medical provider screwed up, that without their error you wouldn’t have suffered your harm and in most cases, that your damages are really significant. In other words, […]
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 […]
As attorneys, a mistake we can make is to assume that the general public knows something that to us is basic knowledge.

I had a call recently from a very upset person who did not get the result they were looking for in their divorce case. They were sure that they had a great legal malpractice lawsuit because their lawyer was unprepared and did not ask for things that the client wanted. I explained to this caller […]
I’m usually asleep at 11:11 p.m., but occasionally catch the clock at 11:11 a.m. and by superstition say to myself, “make a wish.” Well it’s November 11th today, so in honor of 11-11, I thought I’d make some legal wishes. In no particular order. – It would be amazing if our court system could get […]
Covid has greatly impacted everyone’s lives. That’s not breaking news or surprising to anyone. Other than hand sanitizer manufacturers, most businesses are suffering as a result.

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, […]

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 […]
