Law Firm News
[##_1L|1087938499.jpg|width="151" height="16" alt=""|_##]
Rosner & Mansfield, LLP was selected by the San Diego County Bar Association as the recipient of its annual award "For Outstanding Public Service By A Law Firm" at a ceremony on May 4th.
The firm was recognized for its successful challenge to the City of
Escondido's illegal immigrant rental ban. The ground-breaking case was one
of the first of the so-called 'anti-immigrant municipal legislation' cases
to be adjudicated in the United States.
As the lead counsel of a coalition of civil rights groups, private
attorneys and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), partner Alan
Mansfield of Rosner & Mansfield first obtained a temporary restraining
order shortly after the Escondido City Council passed the legislation. He
followed that success with an agreement negotiated with Escondido where the
City agreed to be permanently enjoined from ever visiting the racially
divisive issue again. In addition the City agreed to a six figure settlement.
Alan Mansfield said, "I'm proud to have spearheaded the defense of
civil rights for all, including immigrants, and was gratified to achieve
such a speedy, positive and just conclusion to legislation that was so
racially charged and divisive. To be recognized by the San Diego County Bar
Association is both gratifying and exciting and I thank the association for
this award."
The firm was also recognized for giving lectures and seminars to JAG
officers at both Camp Pendleton and the Naval Justice school in San Diego.
Rosner & Mansfield, LLP with offices in San Diego, is one of the
nation's leading consumer protection law firms.

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.
