Spending time with your grandchildren may be one of your greatest joys in life. Being a grandparent is far different from being a parent. Instead of being responsible for a child’s upbringing 24/7, you are only responsible for loving and perhaps spoiling them a bit. If you are not being allowed to see a grandchild you have an established relationship with, you might be able to go to court to enforce your grandparents’ rights. However, courts will only help grandparents assert the right to see their grandchildren under limited circumstances. A Schaumburg, IL family law attorney can help determine…

As school shootings continue happening across the country, law enforcement and legislators have been trying to figure out ways to stop them from happening. One strategy has been to punish parents for their child’s crime, based on the idea that the fear of criminal charges could motivate parents to take more responsibility and take preventative steps.
A recent case out of Michigan in which the parents of a school shooter were convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 10-15 years in prison has highlighted the developing trend to punish parents for their children’s actions. Their minor child was sentenced to…

Any workplace injury can have serious short-term effects. Most injured workers will need some time off and might need assistance with the normal activities of daily living while they are healing. Something as simple as a broken finger can prevent you from doing your job for weeks. Other injuries are permanent, life-altering, and devastating to deal with. After a workplace injury leaves you permanently disabled, finding purpose and meaning in life again can take time. If you suffered a catastrophic injury while at work, you may be entitled to significant compensation that can replace your lost wages and more.

Years ago, if an Illinois couple wanted to end their marriage, they needed to describe their relationship problems to a judge who would decide whether they had sufficient grounds to be permitted to get a divorce. Ever since an act was passed in 2016 to eliminate fault-based grounds for divorce, the entire process has become a bit smoother. Instead of spouses needing to drag up painful episodes, a couple can simply say they have irreconcilable differences and begin divorce proceedings.
Increasing calls across America to put an end to this have brought the issue to the national stage. Some…

Although recreational cannabis use has been legal in Illinois for years, people are still getting arrested over marijuana-related offenses.

However, there is a lot an experienced Joliet, IL marijuana crimes attorney can do to defend you. You may have another defense, like having been subjected to an illegal search.
Cannabis Crimes That Still Exist in Illinois

It can be difficult for landlords to keep up with the changing laws regarding best practices for screening tenant applicants and what is not allowed during the process. Screening prospective tenants is extremely important to ensure the selected tenants are reliable and responsible and to prevent tenant evictions.
There is more involved in tenant screening than a simple background check. Tenant screening involves many legal factors that are designed to protect prospective tenants as well as landlords. A landlord must understand local ordinances and fair housing laws and keep up with and understand any recent legislative changes. Speaking to…

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is continually evolving to better cater to the needs of our nation’s veterans, particularly when it comes to understanding and compensating for service-related health issues. In line with this commitment, the VA has added three new conditions to the presumptive list, which can significantly affect your VA disability claim. In this blog, we will dive into these new additions, the framework of legal presumptions under the PACT Act, and how you can leverage these changes to bolster your disability claim.

What is a Legal Presumption?
A legal presumption is a rule or law that…

A first DUI can be written off as a simple lapse in judgment or a youthful mistake. The consequences, while painful, are usually not too harsh. Getting a second DUI is a much more serious matter. After a second arrest for driving drunk or high, you are probably going to be almost automatically deemed an alcoholic or addict. The court might start to think that letting you drive might be a risk to the public’s safety. If you avoided jail time the first time, you may not be so lucky the second time. However, you have the same opportunity to…

Children and babies are susceptible to many types of accidents and injuries. When a baby dies suddenly from severe brain damage, suspicions quickly arise that the baby was shaken by a parent or caretaker. Diagnosing Shaken Baby Syndrome has become controversial due to inaccuracies, and infant death can be the result of many things aside from abuse. A recent case involving a caretaker pleading guilty to second-degree murder and getting sentenced to 14 years in prison for shaking a baby to death illustrates just how serious this can be. If grieving parents are placed under investigation and facing charges,…

Despite city-wide efforts and millions of dollars spent by the city of Chicago to reduce crime and violence, recent data shows violent crime cases are at a five-year high. Violent crimes overall appear to have jumped by about 7.2 percent. Robberies are at the top of the list in the increase in violent crimes. On the other hand, homicide rates in the city (which saw a decline in the city in 2022 and fell again in 2023), are currently lower at this point in 2024 as compared to 2023. State Rep. John Cabello asserts rising violent crimes in Chicago…

Some people truly are out looking for a fight. Having a run-in with one of them can turn a fun night out into a disaster.

A lot of people find that the worst part of being charged with a DUI is not being able to drive for a year or more. When you lose your driving privileges, you lose your independence. While nearby Chicago has an excellent public transportation system, making it possible to get anywhere in the city without a car, the same cannot be said for more suburban Will County. Even if you work in the city, getting close enough to its borders to catch a train may be a struggle. Fortunately, there are steps a Joliet, IL criminal defense lawyer can take…
