Capitol & K roundup: Lanny Davis starting own law firm
Law Firm News
Lanny J. Davis, former special counsel to President Clinton, said last week that he is organizing his own law firm, Lanny J. Davis & Associates, to market his services to other law firms and to do work for communications and political strategists on either side of the political aisle.
In a release, Davis said he will remain closely associated with his former law firm, McDermott Will & Emery, continuing to service its clients and working with its attorneys. He said the new arrangement would allow him to pursue media crisis and public policy work with a variety of firms, including prominent Republican firms. He noted that he once served as a member of President George W. Bush's privacy and civil liberties oversight board.
"In today's Washington, there is usually no clear 'red' solution or 'blue' solution -- almost always, the best solution is a 'purple' or bipartisan solution," Davis said in a statement. "Similarly, there are often no purely legal solutions to legal problems either."
Davis is well known around town, and said he will continue to contribute to the "Legal Crisis Strategies" blog that he started in 2009 with his former colleague at McDermott, attorney Eileen M. O'Connor.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements
For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
