Personal Injury Settlements

The Firm has recovered approximately $300,000 for personal injury clients during the month of June. Cases include an elderly woman struck as a pedestrian and two auto accident cases where our clients were involved in crashes on Interstate 88.

Business Litigation Results

The Firm won an appeal on behalf of a national auditing company. The appellate court upheld the significant summary judgment ruling entered in DuPage County. In affirming the order, the Second District held that our position as to the hotly contested municipal contract were correct, and our client was entitled to the relief sought.

The Firm was successful in obtaining a dismissal of a claim against our client, an international publishing company. After previously winning on a similar motion, this time the dismissal was “with prejudice”.

The Firm was successful in obtaining a very favorable result in defending class action litigation in Cook County. The case, which involved multiple jurisdictions and numerous related lawsuits was concluded this past month on terms very favorable to our client.

The firm completed $51 Million in M&A deals including national and franchise sales.

The Firm obtained a dismissal with prejudice on behalf of a client wrongfully sued in Illinois by a well-known national motivational speaker. The circuit court agreed with our motions that our clients were not subject to Illinois jurisdiction, resulting in a dismissal of the claims against them.

Welcome New Law Clerk, Katy Ebbesen
