Kendall County Motorcycle Crash Settlement
The Firm settled a contested motorcycle crash case pending in Kendall County for over $200,000. Our client suffered a fractured leg which required surgery. The lawsuit was settled for over double the defendant’s initial settlement offer.
Business Litigation Results
The Firm won a motion for complete dismissal with prejudice in favor of our client involving real property of more than Sixty Million Dollars. The lawsuit was filed purporting to state claims on behalf of several international organizations claiming rights in the property and to stay a sale. The motion was granted dismissing all claims of the national and international plaintiffs.
The Firm won summary judgment on behalf of our out of state private lender on a 12 unit mixed used building in Chicago. Our client was (falsely) accused of violating commercial lending laws, however, after contentious litigation and appeal, the court has entered final judgment on our motion in favor of the Firm’s lending client on all issues.
The Firm won summary judgment in favor of our local bank client on a large-scale condominium conversion project. The Firm was able to secure the entire collateral first in receivership and then recover 100% of all bank loan plus all attorney fees for the Bank.
