Criminal litigation involves people and entities accused of violating state or federal criminal laws. These cases demand thorough preparation, quick decision-making, and courtroom experience. Our Chicago and Washington, DC attorneys have defended clients against complex white-collar criminal matters, with a focus on serious felony charges like insurance fraud, bank fraud, insider trading, and embezzlement. We believe our tradition of success in highly complex criminal defense of business owners and prominent individuals speaks for itself.
In each criminal case we handle, we analyze the government’s evidence carefully to identify weaknesses and develop strategies tailored to each client’s goals. In cases involving federal crimes, we handle investigations and indictments involving agencies such as the Department of Justice and the SEC. We also represent individuals facing professional or reputational risks tied to criminal allegations. Every case we accept receives direct attention from seasoned trial lawyers who understand how prosecutors build their cases—and how to dismantle them.
Our work in transactions and governmental matters supports clients involved in public and private sector dealings that may intersect with litigation or regulation. We assist businesses, public officials, and organizations in managing contracts, compliance, and governmental interactions that require sound judgment and legal precision.
Our attorneys handle transactions linked to public works, regulatory enforcement, and administrative hearings. We also advise on issues that can escalate into litigation if not managed properly. Because we try cases nationwide, we understand how decisions made during transactions can later affect outcomes in different courts. That perspective allows us to give our clients the practical, informed advice they need to protect their interests and limit risk.

We begin every injury case with a close review of the facts and the people affected. Our lawyers meet with clients, doctors, and witnesses to understand the full impact of the injury. Then, we prepare a trial-ready strategy designed to present the victim’s story clearly in court. Our strength in court and in settlement negotiations is demonstrated by our track record of verdicts and settlements exceeding $1 million.
We have obtained significant verdicts and settlements by focusing on facts, preparation, and presentation. Our law firm accepts only a limited number of cases, so we can ensure every client receives direct attention from our trial team and benefits from the same tailored approach.
Doctors and hospitals are expected to meet established medical standards every time they treat a patient. When they fail to do so, the consequences can be devastating, and the cost of fixing their mistake can be astronomical.
Our lawyers represent both patients and medical professionals in malpractice litigation involving surgical mistakes, birth injuries, and diagnostic errors. These cases require skill and understanding in both medicine and law. We work with leading experts to examine what went wrong and why, then translate complex medical concepts into plain language that juries can understand. When defending healthcare providers, we challenge questionable claims with equal precision.
Our balanced experience gives us perspective on how both sides approach these disputes, and that understanding often leads to stronger results. Every malpractice result we deliver reflects our careful judgment, meticulous preparation, and respect for the seriousness of the issues at hand.
