When I entered the practice of law more than 35 years ago, Chicago personal injury lawyers were not permitted to even suggest that you hire them for fear of being accused of solicitation.

The reason for this tactic is to make it as difficult and expensive as possible for the plaintiff to win. In conservative jurisdictions such ...
