Naperville, Illinois – John J. Malm & Associates, a leading Illinois personal injury law firm, announced today that five of its attorneys, John J. Malm, Rachel Legorreta, Sara Bendoff, Alyssa Pullara, and Marilynn Frangella, have been named to the 2026 Super Lawyers list, a distinction awarded to a limited percentage of attorneys statewide who demonstrate professional excellence and peer recognition. The selection highlights the firm’s depth of experience and commitment to clients across Illinois.

The Super Lawyers designation is one of the legal profession’s most respected honors. Attorneys are evaluated through a comprehensive, multi-stage selection process that includes peer nominations, independent research, and review by legal professionals within the same practice areas. Only a small fraction of attorneys in Illinois earn recognition each year.

For John J. Malm & Associates, the selection of five attorneys in the same year underscores the firm’s strong reputation within the legal community and reflects the breadth of experience available to its clients.

“What makes this recognition meaningful is that it comes from other lawyers who understand the demands of this work,” said John J. Malm, founder of the firm. “It speaks not just to individual accomplishments, but to the culture we’ve built, one that prioritizes preparation, integrity, and relentless advocacy for our clients.”

A Recognition Built on Peer Evaluation and Professional Achievement

Super Lawyers is not a popularity contest or a marketing award. The selection process is designed to identify attorneys who have earned respect through their professional conduct, legal ability, and results. Candidates are assessed on numerous indicators, including verdicts and settlements, experience, honors, continuing legal education, and peer evaluations.

Attorneys may be nominated by colleagues or identified through independent research, but final selections are made only after extensive review. The result is a curated list intended to reflect attorneys who have distinguished themselves in their practice areas.

For clients seeking legal representation, Super Lawyers recognition serves as an independent indicator of professional standing, one that complements, rather than replaces, a lawyer’s track record and commitment to client service.

A Team-Based Achievement, Not an Individual One

While the Super Lawyers designation is awarded individually, John J. Malm & Associates views the honor as a collective achievement. The firm’s attorneys work collaboratively, sharing insight, strategy, and experience across cases. That team-based approach ensures that each client benefits from the firm’s combined knowledge rather than relying on a single perspective.

“No case is ever handled in isolation,” Malm explained. “Our lawyers challenge each other, support each other, and work together to make sure every client’s case is thoroughly prepared. This recognition reflects that collaborative effort.”

The five attorneys recognized this year represent a range of experience levels and professional backgrounds, reinforcing the firm’s depth and long-term stability.

His leadership has shaped the firm’s philosophy: cases are not settled simply for convenience, and clients are never pressured into decisions without a full understanding of their legal options.

“Our responsibility is to give clients clear, honest advice and to be fully prepared for every outcome,” Malm said. “That approach doesn’t change based on the size of the case or the identity of the defendant.”

At John J. Malm & Associates, the Super Lawyers selections reaffirm the firm’s long-standing commitment to:

• Thorough investigation and case preparation
• Honest, straightforward communication with clients

Joliet, Illinois – Briskman Briskman & Greenberg has filed a civil lawsuit against the city of Joliet on behalf of a bicyclist who says he was injured after riding into a large hole in the roadway on the city’s near west side.

According to a complaint filed in Will County Circuit Court and reported by Patch, the plaintiff suffered serious injuries while riding his bicycle in the 1400 block of North Center Street. The lawsuit seeks a judgment of more than $50,000.

The plaintiff is represented by attorney Susan Fransen of Briskman Briskman & Greenberg. The suit names the city of Joliet as the sole defendant and alleges negligence and willful and wanton conduct in connection with the condition of the roadway.

At all relevant times, the city “owned, maintained and or controlled the roadway … and had an obligation to repair said defect, especially as it caused it and had actual or constructive notice of the same,” according to the filing. The lawsuit contends the city failed to repair the alleged defect or warn road users of the hazard.

The complaint further alleges that Joliet failed to maintain the roadway “in a safe and reasonable manner” and did not conduct adequate inspections that would have identified and addressed the hole. It characterizes the city’s “failure to repair this road where it created the defective condition or had notice of the same” as “willful and wanton conduct.”

“Roadways that cities own and control must be kept reasonably safe for the people who use them, whether they are driving, walking, or riding a bicycle,” Fransen said in a statement. “The complaint filed on behalf of my client alleges that the city knew or should have known about this dangerous condition and failed to address it.”

The case centers on whether Joliet had notice of the alleged roadway defect and whether the city’s actions or inaction meet the legal standards for municipal liability under Illinois law. No trial date has been set, and the city has not yet filed its formal response to the complaint.

From Zero to Pilot in Just 40 Hours

CHICAGO, IL– A new safety report released today by The Kryder Law Group, LLC Accident and Injury Lawyers highlights a significant disparity in training standards between private pilots and commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders across the Midwest. The analysis suggests that the less rigorous training requirements for private pilots are a major contributing factor to the high accident rate in general aviation compared to the commercial trucking industry.

The report compares federal and state-level requirements in ten Midwestern states, including Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. The findings indicate that while CDL drivers must undergo extensive, structured training programs often exceeding 160 hours to operate semi-trucks, private pilots can legally carry passengers with a minimum of just 40 hours of flight time.

• Private Pilot: ~40 flight hours minimum total training time.
• CDL Driver: ~160+ hours typical training program.
• New Teen Driver Training: ~50+ hours in most Midwestern states.

This comprehensive analysis connects the high number of general aviation accidents to pilot inexperience. While commercial trucking regulations have evolved to demand rigorous classroom instruction and mandatory behind-the-wheel hours, private pilot certification remains accessible with significantly less preparation. The report argues that this gap in training standards leaves many private pilots ill-equipped to handle complex situations in the air, leading to preventable accidents.

“When you look at the numbers, it is clear that we demand more from the drivers next to us on the highway than we do from the pilots flying private planes overhead,” said Andrew Kryder, Esq., founding partner of The Kryder Law Group, LLC. “Our goal with this report is to show that safety outcomes are directly linked to the quality and duration of training. Raising the bar for pilot certification could save lives and prevent devastating accidents for families across the Midwest.”

The full report is available for review, offering detailed state-by-state comparisons and insights into how improved training standards can enhance safety for everyone.

• Stroke survivor and author Judy Kim Cage has reached a major milestone as her memoir SUPERSURVIVOR claims the #1 spot on Amazon in Nervous System Diseases, Women’s Health, and Motivational Self-Help categories, inspiring stroke survivors worldwide to view their physical and emotional battles from a new perspective.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 18th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Judy Kim Cage is celebrating a remarkable achievement after her book, SUPERSURVIVOR: How Denial, Resistance, and Persistence Can Lead to Success (and a Better Life) after Stroke, secured the #1 position on Amazon in three major categories: Nervous System Diseases, Women’s Health, and Motivational Self-Help. This achievement shows her increasing influence among stroke survivors who respect her honest storytelling, message of resilience, and humor.

Written from lived experience, SUPERSURVIVOR offers readers an unfiltered look into what life looks like after a stroke. Judy Kim Cage takes readers back to the moment everything changed. One second, she was living a bustling, successful everyday life. The next, she was facing uncertainty about walking, independence, and even her sense of identity. She shares her thoughts through raw honesty and humor, documenting the emotional and physical battles that followed.

SUPERSURVIVOR currently holds a 5-star rating and has found a home on the shelves of readers who see their own journeys reflected in Cage’s experience. The book, with its candid tone and practical insights, is a must-read for stroke survivors, caregivers, and anyone going through a major life shift.

Inside the book, Cage walks readers through the real side of recovery. She explains the ups and downs of rehabilitation and why the health journey is not linear. She also addresses the emotional challenges survivors face, including grief, anger, and the struggle to accept a changed body and lifestyle.

SUPERSURVIVOR also shines a light on topics many doctors don’t fully prepare patients for. Cage shares hard-earned lessons about long-term disability, insurance systems, and self-advocacy. She hopes that the book will provide survivors with the encouragement to speak up for themselves and personalize their recovery journey. The book also focuses on rebuilding confidence and finding purpose. Cage shows that while a stroke changes everything, it does not have to define who you are. Through her honesty, readers discover how persistence and mindset help turn difficulty into motivation and even joy. 

SUPERSURVIVOR is enriched with personal philosophy and practical wisdom. As a stroke survivor herself, Cage understands the fear and uncertainty that come after such a life-changing event. Her story shows how it is possible to build a meaningful life after hardship. 

SUPERSURVIVOR is available on Amazon.

Nashville, TN, 13th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, In recognition of World Civil Defence Day, the Volunteer Ministers of the Church of Scientology Nashville will host a Disaster Preparedness Workshop titled “Prepared is Powerful” on Sunday, March 1, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. The event will take place over lunch at the Church of Scientology in downtown Nashville and is open to the public at no cost.

March 1 is observed internationally as World Civil Defence Day, established by the International Civil Defence Organisation (ICDO). The day commemorates the entry into force of the ICDO Constitution on March 1, 1972, and was created to highlight the importance of civil protection and disaster readiness worldwide. According to the ICDO, the purpose of the day is to “draw the attention of the world public to the vital importance of civil protection” and to pay tribute to the efforts of national services responsible for safeguarding communities in times of emergency.

In that spirit, the Nashville workshop will provide practical, step-by-step guidance to help individuals and families better prepare for severe weather and other emergencies.

Local authorities and city leaders experienced in disaster preparedness and response will lead sessions covering:

• How to assemble an effective and affordable disaster preparedness kit

• What to do if your power goes out for an extended period

• Safety precautions to take before, during, and after an ice storm

• Community resources available during local emergencies

Each attendee will receive a complimentary gift.

“With recent ice storms leaving many without power for days, preparation is no longer optional — it is essential,” said a spokesperson for the Volunteer Ministers. “World Civil Defence Day reminds us that readiness saves lives.”

About the Volunteer Ministers

The Volunteer Minister program was established more than 40 years ago with the motto, “Something can be done about it.” Volunteer Ministers are active worldwide and are trained to provide practical assistance in times of crisis, including natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and severe winter storms. Working alongside local officials, first responders, and community organizations, Volunteer Ministers assist with logistics, community support, supply distribution, and direct help to affected families. Their distinctive yellow shirts have become recognized internationally at disaster sites where immediate, organized assistance is needed. The Nashville Volunteer Ministers continue this mission by helping equip residents with knowledge and tools so they can be prepared before the next emergency strikes. For more information about the Disaster Preparedness Workshop or to reserve a seat, contact the Church of Scientology Nashville, scientology-ccnashville.org. 

Denver, Colorado – On October 20, 2025, Bachus & Schanker affirmed a landmark judgment in Banner Health v. Gresser (23SC959). The ruling secures a full jury award for Chance and Erin Gresser on behalf of their minor daughter, C.G., who suffered severe neurological injuries due to medical negligence during labor and postpartum care.

The jury initially awarded over $27 million in economic damages. While Colorado law generally caps medical malpractice damages at $1 million under the Health Care Availability Act (“HCAA”), the trial court found reasonable cause to exceed the cap and entered judgment for the full award, plus pre- and post-filing interest, an amount now totaling over $50 million.

The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that once a court determines it is appropriate to exceed the statutory cap, the jury retains its authority to determine the proper amount of damages.

“This Supreme Court ruling underscores the critical role of the jury in determining fair compensation for catastrophic injuries,” said Darin Schanker, partner at Bachus & Schanker. “We are proud to have advocated for the Gressers and to secure justice for their child, ensuring she has the resources she will need for the rest of her life.”

The decision clarifies how Colorado courts should handle statutory damages caps while respecting jury awards, marking a significant victory for victims of severe medical negligence.

San Francisco, California – Law firm marketing company, Custom Legal Marketing, is celebrating its 21st year in business. While many law firms and agencies are still focused primarily on search engine optimization (SEO), Custom Legal Marketing is embracing AI answer engine optimization in a big way.

The company, founded in January 2005 under parent company Adviatech, began at a time when Google was one of several major search engines, social media platforms had little relevance to law firms and smartphones had yet to reshape daily life. Its anniversary arrives as artificial intelligence tools and answer engines alter how people find lawyers and evaluate law firms online.

Over the past two decades, Custom Legal Marketing has helped move the legal industry through the gradual transition from static brochure websites to integrated digital strategies that fold in search engine visibility, content, local search, email outreach and video.

The shift towards AI chatbots may have been unexpected for some, but CLM started developing AI-focused strategies years before ChatGPT was shared with the public. CLM has invested in an AI-powered marketing platform that has supercharged the way their team gets results for law firms. The system is built entirely in-house and has been getting integrated into the various departments within CLM. After nearly 4 years of secrecy, CLM plans to announce the platform publicly later this year.

Custom Legal Marketing’s evolution has been driven as much by experimentation as by process. Designers, writers and developers work together on campaigns that often blend long-form explainers, visual storytelling and search-focused content, with the goal of making complex legal issues accessible without sacrificing accuracy. More recently, the company’s homegrown AI platform has become a quiet engine behind many of those efforts, surfacing patterns in search trends, user behavior and local competition that inform creative choices rather than replace them.

That mix of creativity and data has led to work that stands out in a crowded field. Custom Legal Marketing’s projects have included award-winning commercial production and web campaigns that helped small firms expand into regional practices. Many clients have remained with the agency through multiple redesigns and market shifts, citing a willingness to test new ideas while staying candid about what is and is not working.

“Our culture has always been about creative thinking and not just chasing Google’s latest move,” co-founder Jason Bland said. “Our team members having the freedom to experiment is one of the reasons we’re so far ahead of the curve on AI marketing.”

Custom Legal Marketing is a law firm marketing agency built for how clients actually find lawyers today. Founded in 2005, CLM combines award-winning creative with a purpose-built AI platform to help law firms stand out, get chosen, and grow in an increasingly competitive digital landscape.
