Critical Motion Practice

Critical Motions Practice Attorney in Chicago, Illinois

Certain legal issues can arise in litigation that are potentially dispositive of an entire case, or that can significantly impact the nature and extent of evidence parties may submit at trial, or raise in an appeal.  The timing requirements and procedures for such critical motions vary significantly, and the failure to follow the specific timing and procedures required can have a substantial impact on the outcome of a case.
Such motions include:

  • Motions for Temporary Restraining Orders (“TROs”) and Preliminary and Permanent Injunctions
  • Motions to Dismiss
  • Motions for Summary Judgment
  • Motions in Limine
  • Motions for Directed Verdict
  • Motions for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict (“JNOV”) and other Post-Trial Motions
  • Post-Judgment Motions
  • Motions to Stay, or Enforce, Judgments

Successsful Outcomes

Liz and I met as opponents in a case.  It was easy to see that she would be a formidable opponent.  Since that
time, we have collaborated on numerous matters, mostly appeals, both in state court and the 7th Circuit.  She is
well-versed in appellate procedure, and understands the law.  I have personally seen her in action in front of an
appellate panel, and she far exceeded my expectations.  It was obvious she was more prepared than her adversary,
which boded well for our clients.  If you are looking for an intelligent, hard-working, confident and versatile
appellate lawyer, Liz should be your first choice.
