My son, Rubin

[Guest guest]

As many of you know, as the parent of my son Mitch (my middle child), who has

Autism, I have concentrated my law practice in the area of special needs

planning for nearly 30 years, and have in fact limited my practice to that area

for more than 10 years.

So it is with extreme personal pride and happiness that I announce that my

youngest son, (A/K/A Little/Big Brother), who recently graduated Magna

Cum Laude from the University of Illinois Law School (B.A. Northwestern

University), has joined my practice. So now we have a parent/attorney and a

sibling/attorney in the firm to assist our fellow families. My daughter,

(R.N. and B.S.N., A/K/A Big Sister/Assistant Mom), continues as our Office

Manager and my Executive Assistant, and my wife, , continues as our Firm

Receptionist (and doing whatever else needs to be done). In addition to our

“familyâ€, our firm includes my senior associate Attorney, Judie , who

has been with our firm for more than 15 years, and our super legal assistant,

Muschkat, who is the “glueâ€. Lastly, but far from the least is Mitch,

who works one day a week in our office shredding documents (the other days he

works through Clearbrook’s Supported Employment Program). After he fills a

bag, in addition to his paycheck, he earns an elevator ride, which I believe

means more to him than the money.

I have always said that having a child with special needs allows us to truly

understand what is important in life, and what is really “not so importantâ€.

Thank you for allowing me to share this personal moment of pride.
