Our advocacy in the Press

Providing legal representation to bicycle crash victims is our priority. But, our law firm is committed to people who bike even beyond that. We work with other advocates for cycling like the Active Transportation Alliance and the League of Illinois Bicyclists to advance safe cycling.

We work with legislators in Springfield to fix out of date, anti-biking statutes. We spend evenings and weekends teaching new cyclists how to ride. We distribute free lights to cyclists to encourage safe nighttime riding.

We dedicate financial resources to local biking clubs and worthwhile bicycle focused organizations. We ride Critical Mass, The Ride Of Silence, and participate in other events that promote awareness for vulnerable road users. We think biking is fun. We are honored to have received attention from local and national media over the years for our work as bicycle advocates.
