transplant Posted January 15, 2015 at 04:12 AM Share Posted January 15, 2015 at 04:12 AM I spent a few minutes playing around with ideas for putting some of this information into a spreadsheet.

I'd be interested in some feedback on whether this is worth continuing and, if so, any suggestions for improvements. attorney-spreadsheet-idea.jpg That looks like it would be helpful.

Buzzard Posted July 18, 2015 at 04:56 PM Share Posted July 18, 2015 at 04:56 PM When I was getting my concealed carry permit, I asked my attorney who he would recommend for a good firearms attorney. He said that Jerry Lund is very good in the area of law where firearms would apply. I trust my attorney and I trust his advice. Jerry Lund's info is as follows: Jerry Lund Vella and Lund401 W State St #300, Rockford, IL61101 815-965-7979 http://www.vellalundlaw.com/ From the Vella and Lund website: Jerry A. Lund is a partner with Vella & Lund and has been with the firm since 1988. Since joining the firm he has successfully represented numerous individuals charged in both State and Federal Courts. Attorney Lund has handled criminal investigations and prosecutions involving drug conspiracy, murder, HUD fraud, defense contractor fraud, bank fraud, reckless homicide, and Driving Under the Influence. He has represented a wide array of individuals, including law enforcement officers, corporate executives, public officials, business owners, professional athletes, and lawyers. Attorney Lund has represented individuals in state courts throughout Illinois. He is also a member of the Federal Trial Bar and has handled federal cases in every district in Illinois, and in Federal District Courts in Washington, Texas, Missouri and Wisconsin. He has obtained not guilty verdicts on a wide array of cases, including First Degree Murder. He has extensive experience in narcotics cases, and has obtained not guilty verdicts and suppression orders in numerous drug cases. Prior to joining the firm, Attorney Lund was a Winnebago County Assistant State's Attorney. He received his B.S. from the University of Illinois Urbana Champion and his J.D. from Northern Illinois University School of Law, cum laude.

flw Posted July 18, 2015 at 09:39 PM Share Posted July 18, 2015 at 09:39 PM So far I think he is the only person known here that covers Winnebago Co. I emailed him to verify if he does work with conceal carry license holders on self defense issues as well as other issues we may face. Hopefully he does and then I'll carry his card with me. It never hurts to have a number to call just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglebob Posted September 23, 2015 at 06:49 PM Share Posted September 23, 2015 at 06:49 PM On post #79, I mentioned David Lawler in Marion. I thought I should mention that he represented my son in a case involving his wife, at the time. The charge was domestic abuse, he pulled a cell phone out of her hand and it was bruised. He got the charges reduced and my son was able to keep his job as a corrections officer at Menard Prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buff1968 Posted April 24, 2016 at 01:37 PM Share Posted April 24, 2016 at 01:37 PM Thanks Molly. I am looking for a nearby defense attorney to have in mind if ever needed. From the list, the only one shown for Springfield is Peter Baroni in Chicago-Wheaton-Springfield-Wilmette. Apparently their offices are in the Chicago area. Unless they have a local office Springfield, they may not be very convenient for a Springfield case. Just trying to be prepared but praying never needed.
