  • In 2006, a litigation partner was named by a leading provider of medical professional liability insurance “Illinois Attorney of the Year.”
  • In 2003-2004, a founding partner was designated among Chicago's twenty top defense lawyers
  • Four of our partners have been consistently selected by peers statewide as "Leading Lawyers" in the areas of Insurance Defense and Commercial Litigation

  • And, we can assure you that we have remained constant in our commitment to make the difference, get results and deliver consistent value for our clients - just as we pledged to do in 1994. We are attorneys with solutions.
