Introduction: Our firm takes pride in helping those individuals that have nowhere else to turn. Often, we obtain large verdicts or awards for clients that have been advised by other attorneys that they have no case. We recognize the frustration that people feel when they know they have been injured or lost their jobs as a result of someone else’s actions, yet cannot find a voice to represent them. Recently, we obtained a record verdict in the State of Illinois for an individual who was wrongfully terminated from his job for filing a worker’s compensation case. His employer terminated him the day before he was to have surgery, leaving him disabled with no money coming in to support his family. We recognized the hardship that was caused by his employer and fought this case through to a successful verdict providing him with justice and a financial award. In that instance, our client often reminded us that it was as important to him that a jury hear his case and rule in his favor as it was the financial award that he received. That is why we recognize that the story of every person who has been injured or wronged deserves the chance to be told to the jury so that they can receive justice, and we invite those who have been injured or whose rights have been violated to contact our office so that we help you, like we have so many other people in that last 25 years.

Medical Malpractice: We have a board certified medical doctor of our staff who can provide immediate reviews of medical records to determine whether or not your medical malpractice case has merit. Simply fax or email your medical your records and we will have them reviewed at no charge.

Recent News: On December 4, 2009 the Appellate Court of Illinois, First Judicial District ruled in a unanimous decision that the case of Gwendolyn Tate v. The Surgical Center at 900 N. Michigan Avenue, LLC must proceed to jury trial on the issue of negligence on the part of the Surgical Center. The court determined that there was sufficient evidence in the record on the issue of negligent discharge on the part of the surgery center to proceed to trial. The court also determined that there was sufficient evidence on the record on the issue of the surgery center’s negligent conduct, being at least one of the proximate causes of Gwendolyn Tate’s permanent injuries. As of this date, a trial date has not yet been set, but it is presumed that the matter will proceed to a jury trial sometime in the summer of 2010.
