Brian’s tireless effort to unearth video that was hidden by the City of Chicago of the shooting led to a significant change to police accountability in Chicago and around the country. Another notable case achieved a $19,500,000 settlement on behalf of a 56-year-old man who was admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital on a ventilator with sepsis and acute hypoxemia respiratory failure after being treated for a pulmonary embolism at Lake Forest Hospital.
