There was a very sad case recently that lead to an Illinois wrongful death lawsuit where an 11 year old boy passed away after having an asthma attack and seizure at school. The lawsuit alleged that the boy was unsupervised and his medical condition was known. Regrettably, even though that had an outstanding law firm […]
There is a Chicago class action attorney I know who also does consumer fraud cases. I’ve referred her some cases over the years. Some of the cases she’s pursued, others she has rejected. But on a lot of cases she has told me that she wants to bring a lawsuit, but the client doesn’t want […]

I’m a Chicago lawyer and haven’t gone through every county in Illinois, but I am 99.9% sure that the entire state is handling the COVID 19 crisis the same way. There is so much you need to know if you have a legal issue. I will list them in no particular order. If you have […]
Short blog answer: NO Longer blog answer: Illinois has been called a Judicial Hell Hole. It’s a phrase that was made up by people in the insurance industry. They did it to try to help in lobbying for laws that favor them and would make them even more money on top of the billions they […]
A recent caller to my office had a relative charged with a felony and told me that they wanted to hire the “best criminal lawyer in Chicago.” He wanted to know who I recommended and made clear that money was no object. I get this type of call a lot. There is a quick and […]
It’s that time of year where even with the occasional nice day of weather, there has been a lot of snow, ice and slush. Depending on where you live in Illinois, there are different laws about whether or not you have to shovel. There are also different outcomes when it comes to falling on ice […]
The usage of biometrics has merged into our everyday lives and the collection of biometric data is on the rise. Biometric data refers to unique, measurable human biological or behavioral characteristics that can be used for identification. Biometric identifiers include fingerprints, voiceprint, retina or iris scans, and scans of hand or face geometry. Companies are […]
One of the common tactics big employers use in the state of Illinois when a worker gets injured on the job is to send them to a “company clinic.” These are legit medical facilities, but in my experience, they tend to favor the employer. It’s not that they will ignore injuries, although that has happened. […]
With the caveat that all of the information I get is from disgruntled patients or their family members along with from malpractice attorneys in Chicago, and just my opinion, I have to wonder how is St. Bernard Hospital in Chicago still in business. In the last month I’ve had six different people call me looking […]
I kind of hate writing posts like this because they seem insensitive. That is not my intention at all, and I almost never do it if it happens in Illinois as I don’t want to be seen as trying to fish for a case. That said, I do find that events like the tragic helicopter […]
I usually post blogs based on good questions I get from callers. Some questions aren’t long enough for a post, but are still worth discussing. Here are some of the best ones I haven’t written about. I got divorced and my attorney called me a couple weeks after the case was done to say I […]
With a history dating back to 1842, Illinois railroads easily are the nation’s most important in terms of the region they serve and the volume of traffic which is handled. Chicago, where the East meets the West, has been coined as the nation’s railroad capitol. Illinois proudly ranks second in the country with the greatest […]
A very nice woman called me recently after getting in to a car accident in Chicago. She has a pretty big injury, and the other car that hit her is clearly at fault. Her concern was that she had just hired a personal injury lawyer in Chicago who advertises a lot. By a lot, I […]
I’ve been involved in a nightmare with UPS over a lost package. It reminds me of a phone call I had from someone once who wanted to sue them over a lost package. That caller, like me, wasn’t as mad at the package going missing as they were at the response by UPS. Their terrible […]

I’ve been a lawyer since 1997 and started this company in 2001. When I did, I came in with two major values about how I’d run this service. First, I try to talk like a real person. I don’t always succeed, but it’s gross when attorneys try to talk all fancy with legal jargon to […]
If you have a suffered a work injury in Illinois, the best-case scenario is to receive excellent medical care and recover well enough to return to work without restrictions. Unfortunately, the process of a Worker’s Compensation claim can often be long, arduous, exhausting and just plain complicated. The capstone to the process often ends with […]
Back in 2013, a really nice woman called us with what seemed like a relatively minor Illinois workers compensation case. She had hit her elbow on something on the job and originally it seemed like a relatively small bone bruise. I didn’t expect that the case would take six years to resolve. I also didn’t […]
