Our client was at a local hospital for heart-related issues. When the anesthesiologist administered the medication for the procedure, she did so in the wrong order and dosage.

This Peoria County case involved a city bus driver who took too wide of a turn and hit our client. We drafted a lawsuit but were ultimately able to settle the case.

This client had been told “No” before on this claim. We got her to a settlement, and her bills were paid!
Our client was a resident of California and was investigated for mailing large amounts of drugs to Illinois. A contact in Bloomington allegedly received several packages. The United States Postmaster General’s office intercepted the packages. The Bloomington contact provided information to law enforcement, and our client was arrested. The weight of the cannabis mailed to Bloomington elevated the charges to Class X, which is punishable by a term in prison from 6-30 years and is non-probation eligible. We reduced the charges to Class 1, which is in the 4-15-year range. Our client did the MINIMUM TERM as charged.
