Pro Bono Cases
  • The Firm is proud to announce that in August it was able to get the Illinois Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan (ICHIP) to
    reverse its own decision and reinstate coverage for medically necessary physical, occupational, and speach therapy for an 8
    year old girl with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. (August, 2005; Aaron Rapier, Paralegal: Johannah Drerup)

  • The Firm proudly represented a woman who had money held in the cleint trust fund of her ex-husband's attorney
    embezelled.  The funds (over $40,000.00) were being held by the attorney to pay court ordered child support payments on
    behalf of the ex-husband.  Through agressive investigation, the money was repaid in full (including costs incurred by our client
    prior to our representation of her) after the attorney for the ex-husband was twice imprisioned under contempt findings by the
    DuPage County Judge who handled the divorce previously. (July, 2005; Dan Fabbri)

  • The Firm had a very successful June with respect to its pro bono practice.  A firm attorney's work resulted in 3 separate
    reversals of insurance denials on behalf of families with disabled children treated at Easter Seals DuPage.  In each case, the
    families' insurance company had denied payment for claims the treating physician had deemed medically necessary.  The Firm
    convinced several major insurance carriers that the denial decisions were improper, as the underlying speech, physical, and/or
    occupational therapies were prescribed to treat medical conditions explicitly covered under the terms of the families' health
    care plans.  The reversals will result (and in some cases has already resulted) in the payment of thousands of dollars in
    previously unpaid claims; reimbursement to the families of their out-of-pocket medical expenses; and continued medically
    necessary therapies for children with physical and mental disabilities.  Achieving 3 reversals in the same month is a high water
    mark for the Firm, but illustrative of what can be accomplished by the Firm's commitment to pro bono public service. (June,
    2005; Aaron Rapier)
