Atlanta law firm to absorb Weston Benshoof
Law Firm News
Alston & Bird LLP is putting its mark on California, with plans to absorb in September the Los Angeles law firm Weston Benshoof Rochefort Rubalcava & MacCuish LLP and its 83 attorneys. Weston Benshoof is known for its environmental and land use practices, but it also litigates in real estate, construction, and water resources issues.
Atlanta-based Alston & Bird also said Wednesday it has opened a 12-attorney office in Palo Alto. The addition of the new lawyers in California will bring the total number of attorneys at Alston & Bird to more than 900.
"Alston & Bird's continued growth is the result of our increasing national and international client base for whom our strategic approach is simple -- We will be where our clients are and need us to be," said Richard R. Hays, Alston & Bird's managing partner, in a prepared statement. "While Alston & Bird has been representing clients on the West Coast for years, teaming up with some of the best talent in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley gives us stronger footing in a number of key practice areas that will benefit our clients and better serve their needs."

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.
