Congratulations to our counsel in Pennsylvania, David Cohen, for being named as a 2024 Super Lawyer for Plaintiff Employment Litigation!

We’re proud that through our advocacy, Stephan Zouras has helped steer over $750,000.00 to several worthy charitable organizations in Illinois as cy pres recipients over the last two years. These organizations, who work tirelessly to provide legal aid and other services to underprivileged sectors of our community, include the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Women Employed, the Chicago Volunteer Legal Services, the Greater Chicago Food Depository and Prairie State Legal Services. We encourage our followers to learn more and support the important work of these groups and their steadfast dedication to secure justice for ordinary hardworking people.
