Appellate
One of the strengths of our firm is our strong appellate practice. Indeed, we are one of the few litigation firms of our size that maintains a full-time appellate department.
Our appellate attorneys are successful not only in preserving client's victories or obtaining justice when a company has been unsuccessful at trial, they are also invaluable in working with our trial lawyers on strategy as rulings are made throughout a case. Our appellate attorneys are held in such high regard that they are routinely asked to handle appeals of lawsuits litigated by other firms.
Our successfully reported appeals include:
Durham v. Forest Preserve District of Cook County , 152 Ill. App 3d 472, 509 N.E.2d 899 (1st Dist. 1986); In re: Anthony Mason 122 Ill. 2d 163, 522 N.E. 2d 1233 (1988); Reidy v.
