We Set Them Free
For years, after innocent defendants won their case at trial, the Cook County Sheriff still took them back to the Cook County jail for hours and hours of processing, sometimes forcing them to remain imprisoned overnight. Our attorneys stepped in, because no innocent person should spend a second in jail. As a result, the Cook County Sheriff agreed to immediately release criminal defendants after they prevailed at trial or their charges were dropped. Even better, thanks to our attorneys’ innovative legal strategy, the Sheriff agreed to pay our clients for the value of their time, resulting in a $1,100,000 settlement.
