Perhaps by now you have heard the story of Dr. Lorna M.
Breen. Dr. Breen was a top emergency room doctor at a Manhattan hospital that
treated many coronavirus patients. She herself contracted the virus, but had gone
back to work after recuperating for about a week and a half. Because of what
she described as an “onslaught of patients who were dying before they could
even be taken out of ambulances” and the stress associated with the fear of
reinfection, with treating her own colleagues, and with no end in sight, Dr.
Breen took her own life. (See: www.nytimes.com/2020/04/27/nyregion/new-york-city-doctor-suicide-coronavirus)
If you are an essential worker, especially if you are in the
medical professions, law enforcement or fire services, we want to honor you for
your selfless acts of bravery. And, if you are an essential worker in need of
legal services during this pandemic, we want to thank you by cutting our fees
in half, and offering you remote access to our firm through social media, Zoom,
email or telephone.
The coronavirus has changed almost everything we do. Sadly,
an unintended consequence of Governor Pritzker’s executive order has been to
require some unhappy couples to “shelter-in-place” together. At a minimum, this
can add stress to already stressful relationships. At worst, this can lead to
domestic violence. No one is required to remain in an abusive relationship simply
because of the governor’s order.
The bottom line is that you can still litigate your divorce
or family law case, even in the midst of Illinois’ “stay at home” order. We
here at the law firm of Camic, Johnson, Ltd. are committed to providing you
with the same level of outstanding legal services we have been providing for
the last 30 years. We just need to be more creative these days in how we
provide those services. Contact us to discuss your case today so we can show
you how we can help, and as always, we thank you for your trust in our firm.
