Prince Law Firm is pleased to announce that founding partner Mark Prince has been selected for membership into the prestigious Melvin M. Belli Society.

The Melvin M. Belli Society is a small organization comprising the best and most outstanding plaintiff’s lawyers in the United States. Melvin “Mel” Belli was one of the first true pioneers in injury law. His work was instrumental in setting the standards for representing people who have been hurt by the negligence of others, particularly by big corporations. Throughout his years of legal work and advocacy, Mr. Belli earned the nickname “The King of Torts.”

“Considering who Melvin Belli was, I am humbled and honored to be invited to join this great organization,” is what Mark Prince had to say on this recent honor.

Mark Prince will be speaking at the 2023 Voir Dire Workshop on Friday, May 19, 2023. Co-sponsored by the American Association for Justice (AAJ), this two-day event will be held at Loyola University School of Law in Chicago. Registration is required for this event.

Discussing the topic of “Dealing with ‘Scary’ Issues in Voir Dire,” Mark will be co-presenting with Ken Levinson. This will be an important presentation that fits into the greater picture of the workshop’s goal: educating attorneys on what does and doesn’t work in voir dire.

We are excited to announce that Governor Pritzker has reappointed our founding partner, Mark Prince, to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Advisory Board. This will be Mark’s third term serving on this important board, with one term under Governor Quinn and two under Governor Pritzker. In each term, Mark has served as a voice for labor and injured workers.

The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Advisory Board (WCAB) assists the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC) in formulating policies, solving problems, setting expenditure priorities, and establishing administrative goals. Prior to making appointments to the Workers’ Compensation Commission, the Governor requests the WCAB to make recommendations about which candidates that should be appointed to serve as an arbitrator. The arbitrator is the administrative law judge that decides the level of compensation that a worker hurt on the job receives.

Entrusting the care of our loved ones to nursing home facilities is never an easy choice. However, we know that Illinois families do their best to place their aging parents and grandparents in facilities where they will be loved and cared for. Unfortunately, we also know that many nursing homes and assisted living facilities like to put on a good show, only to allow abusive and neglectful practices to continue behind closed doors.

Prince Law Firm fights for those who have been wrongfully harmed by acts of nursing home neglect. Representing victims of nursing home neglect and abuse is a solemn responsibility we take seriously, treating every client with the dignity and compassion they deserve. In keeping with this mission, we strive to provide unrivalled legal guidance to nursing home neglect victims in Marion, IL.

Prince Law Firm is pleased to announce that attorney Mark D. Prince was recently named as one of the Top 10 Personal Injury Plaintiff’s Lawyers for downstate Illinois. Leading Lawyers recognizes attorneys whose excellence and expertise in their fields have made them stand out among their peers. Mark was ranked sixth among all personal injury plaintiff lawyers in his region.

Leading Lawyers has a unique and rigorous selection process. To become a Leading Lawyer, one must be recommended by their fellow lawyers in their respective field of law. Lawyers are asked to whom they would recommend a friend or family member if they themselves could not be of help with a legal issue. Leading Lawyers does not allow participants to recommend anyone at their law firm. This ensures that the selection process focuses not only on case outcomes, but on the experience, reputation, and quality of service that a lawyer demonstrates. During the selection process, lawyers often end up recommending their direct competitors.

Prince Law Firm is proud to announce that Founding Attorney Mark D. Prince was selected as a 2022 Illinois Super Lawyer in Personal Injury-Plaintiff. Super Lawyers creates a list of attorneys in each state who practice quality and excellence in their work. This list recognizes no more than 5% of lawyers in each state. Being selected for an annual publication of the Super Lawyers list does not guarantee that an attorney will be selected again the following year. Mark Prince is honored to have been recognized by Super Lawyers once again, after having been selected as a 2019 Illinois Super Lawyer.

Prince Law Firm is proud to take part in the 2021 “Day of Action,” a community-focused event sponsored by Injury Board. This nationwide event is an opportunity for like-minded lawyers to become part of a movement to more deeply support their local communities. This year more than ever, we aim to make a difference in the lives of those around us.

Hopefully, we will be “fully” opened by June 1, 2020. For now, we continue to work remotely, but have started our transition into being “fully” opened by rotating some essential staff into the office.

We continue to practice social distancing and we are doing everything we can to protect the safety of our employees. While we may have more people here at the office now than over the last 6 weeks, we still are not meeting in person with clients or visitors.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Together, we will get through this pandemic safely! Please call our office number, 618-997-2111, for assistance.
