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. This came up recently when I spoke to someone about a lawyer who was romantically involved with a client. Under Illinois law, it’s unethical for an attorney to date, sleep with or whatever […]

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. Law firms are no exception to this impact although compared to the restaurant and bar industry, we generally don’t have it as bad. The most obvious impact in Chicago […]

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, […]
