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 most people think of having to testify under oath, they think of a courtroom with a Judge, a jury, and drama. That’s from TV and movies, but certainly if you testify at trial those things will be there. The reality though is most people will never testify in a courtroom as most cases don’t […]

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. Working appliances. A dumpster or cans for their trash. A mail receptacle. Maybe a parking space is included in the […]
I recently applied to an apartment for my child as a co-signer. As part of the process we had to go through a criminal background check. It came back clean, but took a couple of days. The paranoid lawyer in me wondered during the delay of hearing back if there was some sort of screw-up. […]
