Prescott Legal acquired by Special Counsel
Headline News
One of Texas' most well-known legal recruiting firms has been acquired by a Florida company. Prescott Legal -- the 26-year-old Houston legal staffing firm that has placed more than 500 attorneys in Houston, Austin and Dallas in the last five years -- was acquired by Jacksonville, Fla.-based Special Counsel Inc., the legal staffing division of MPS Group, for an undisclosed sum.
"Lauren and I are very pleased to be able to position Prescott with a national leader in legal staffing services," said Larry Prescott, who founded Prescott alongside his wife, Lauren. "Lauren and I are excited about Prescott's working with Special Counsel both here in Texas and across the country."
According to a Special Counsel release, Prescott has received the highest ratings in two national employer surveys in American Lawyer magazine -- the only Texas firm to do so.
"As a life-long resident of Texas, I know that together, Special Counsel and Prescott will be able to offer our client unparalleled search and temporary placement services," said David Maldonado, senior vice president of Special Counsel.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements
For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
