My main focus in law is representing clients with divorce and employment related issues.. It should go without saying but sometimes lawyers forget that clients are the most important guests on their premises. As the managing partner of MKFM Law I strive to make our firm's mission and purpose the client.. -Our clients are not dependent on us - we are dependent on them.. -Our clients are not an interruption in our work - they are the purpose of it.. -Our clients are not an outsider in our business - they are part of it.. -We are not doing our clients a favor by serving them- our clients are doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.. Most importantly, when clients voice a concern, we need to take notice and do something about it.. George Frederick

Practice Areas: Civil Rights

Jeanette “Sam” Samuels has a proven track record of fighting for justice.  A distinguished trial attorney, Sam has achieved a remarkable degree of success in state and federal courtrooms throughout the midwest.. As a first year associate, Sam was part of the litigation team that settled a case with the City of Chicago for $650 thousand, vindicating the rights of a family who had been harassed and mistreated by several members of the police department. Months later, Sam’s team settled another case for $100 thousand with the City of Chicago on behalf of a client who had been falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted when police officers claimed the salt rocks they found in the cuffs of his pants was methamphetamine. Since becoming licensed, Sam’s practice has focused almost exclusively on enforcing individual liberties, with a special emphasis on civil rights and police misconduct. Aware that discrimination permeates all areas of the law, Sam expanded her practice to represent criminal defendants. As the intersection between civil rights and sports has peaked, Sam’s team now works proactively to represent the interests of athletes by providing legal representation to emerging players, competitors, and coaches.. With the support of community leaders and friends, Sam founded Samuels & Associates, Ltd., to provide affordable, quality legal representation to Chicago’s underserved industries and communities. She was a member of Executive Board for the Cook County Bar Association, is on the Board of Directors for the Legal Aid Chicago, and provides pro bono legal advice to various Chicago-area community organizations and associations.. When not working, Sam regularly speaks to students and community organizations on a number of topics, including civil rights, voting, and the importance of social advocacy.
