Bob has never avoided challenging cases. He represented a wrongfully convicted man who spent 11½ years in prison, helping secure his release, exoneration, and gubernatorial pardon. He also fought for Baby Tamia’s family in a high-profile case that revealed flaws in Illinois’ adoption law and led to important reforms to safeguard children and families. These victories highlight Bob’s core belief: the law should serve the people, not powerful interests. That conviction has guided his entire career.
