- Lakelaw is expanding in Waukegan. We purchased the building next door at 418 W. Clayton Street to better serve our clients. Opening in March, our new Consumer Law Center will provide dedicated staff to help clients with bankruptcy, credit counseling, credit reporting issues and a wide variety of consumer law issues. We also have established a “Client Learning Center” where clients will be able to get up-to-the-minute information about the laws and procedures affecting them. Lakelaw invites community groups to learn about financial management, family legal planning, elder law issues and any other financial legal issue of concern. We will custom-tailor a program for your group at no charge or obligation to you.
- Lakelaw’s attorneys have become active participants in the CARE program – Consumer Abuse Resistance Education Program. Jim McNeilly is the liaison for the CARE program in Southeast Wisconsin and David Leibowitz has become a volunteer for the program in Northern Illinois, under the leadership of Bankruptcy Judge John H. Squires.
- David Leibowitz won the Lake County Bar Associations’ Volunteer Legal Program Pro Bono Award for 2007 at a ceremony in Waukegan last September.
- Lakelaw’s Waukegan offices at 420 W. Clayton Street were honored by the Waukegan Historical Society in August, 2007 for its contribution to the historic preservation of the community. Our Waukegan offices have been completely remodeled and reconstructed as modern, handicapped accessible, wired law offices while retaining fidelity to the historic vision and impression of this Civil War-vintage house.
