How would you react if a commuter jet crashed every week and killed everyone on board? You would be outraged, and so would the entire country.

If you bought a Lenovo PC between September 2014 and January 2015, then you may be at risk for identity theft. In September, Lenovo began selling laptops with a pre-installed program called Superfish Visual Discovery. This program is what’s known as adware, which means that it spies on your web traffic in order to provide […]
We are happy to investigate possible legal malpractice lawsuits. It would be hypocritical not to as we are willing to sue doctors and other professionals when they screw up. What I’ve found interesting over the years about the valid cases we’ve pursued (and by valid, I mean a lawsuit was filed) is that the attorneys […]
I had a very nice call with a gentleman who was looking for a Chicago medical malpractice lawyer who would not charge a fee unless they win the case. I explained to him right away that nobody charges a fee in those cases and if they do want you to contribute money for expenses then […]

One of the most common phone calls we get are from people whose kids have been injured in a daycare. As a parent myself, I get why these callers are so upset. You trust your kids to be taken care of and something bad happens to them. For whatever reason, it seems like many of […]
There is a specific law that says how and when an employer or potential employer can do a background check on you. The law also says what the employer can and can’t do with the information it gathers. Several large employers have recently been sued for violating this law, prompting multi-million dollar settlements with the […]
According to the CDC, there is a divorce in the United States every 36 seconds. That amounts to hundreds of thousands of divorces every year. This might not be surprising, given the well-known statistic that 50% of marriages end in divorce. Here are some lesser-known stats on marriage in America… The more times you […]

Illinois already has a formula, or guideline amounts, for determining child support. These are written into the law.
