Hoping to follow in his father’s footsteps from a young age, Reg’s practice primarily consists of advising individuals on estate planning, estate settlement and elder law matters. As Reg represents clients in matters like guardianship proceedings and long-term care admissions, he feels grateful to be able to offer families thorough legal help in their time of need.
Illinois recently adopted a law requiring prospective police officers to approve the release of their personal background records, including everything from job performance reports to nonpublic settlement agreements, as part of the hiring process. The measure was passed in response to last summer’s shooting of Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old single mother who had struggled with […]
When I was in high school, rapscallions would sometimes partake in throwing eggs or tomatoes at cars after the homecoming football game. Because of the inherent danger of this activity and the very expensive damage it could cause, the authorities came down hard on any perpetrators they would find. To avoid severe punishment, these miscreants […]
‘Teen Wolf’ was a classic 1980s movie that starred Michael J. Fox as Scott, a short, somewhat nerdy high schooler who suddenly became the Big Man on Campus after turning into a werewolf. One scene in the flick shows Scott “van surfing,” or standing on top of a moving van while driving down the road. […]
Over two years ago, I wrote about Peter LoDuca and Steven A. Schwartz, attorneys with Levidow, Levidow & Oberman, P.C., a personal injury firm in New York City. In a lawsuit they filed, Schwartz used ChatGPT to help draft a brief. After he found several cases that were right on point and supported his client’s […]
This past Christmas was great. Leading up to the big day, I was able to watch some of my favorite Christmas movies, including “Jingle all the Way.” The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad, a pair of devoted fathers who will stop at nothing to buy their kids the year’s hottest toy – a Turbo […]
In the summer of 1985, my family went to Orlando. We got to visit Disney World, Epcot Center and SeaWorld. SeaWorld was pretty cool because we got to see a show featuring Shamu, their killer whale. We were sitting close enough to the water tank that we got splashed when she jumped. 12-year-old me thought […]
One of my favorite TV commercials ever was Geico’s ad for the 2015 Super Bowl. It featured Salt-N-Pepa, a rap sensation from the 1980s and ‘90s, performing their hit “Push It.” The spot opens with a man unsuccessfully trying to pull open a door until the group tells him to “push it.” They then proceed […]
In July, my wife and I trekked to Omaha to drop our daughter off at grad school at the University of Nebraska Medical College. It’s an 8-hour journey, so we made a few pit stops along the way. We love to fill up the gas tank at Kwik Trips, because they are very clean and […]
Last year, my wife and I went to Aruba to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was unbelievably hot, so thankfully we were near a gorgeous beach and our hotel had a huge pool. When I took off my shirt to take a dip, however, apparently the glare off my tan-less Wisconsin torso could be […]
In the fall of 2025, the federal government experienced its longest shutdown in history. In addition to the thousands of government employees who could not work, thousands of other Americans faced difficulties with food and housing assistance, airline travel, and visiting national parks and museums. It was a stressful time, and presumably, many people turned […]
