Message from Michael Gill and Matthew Ports, former associates of, and then partners and shareholders with, Bruce for a combined total of almost 50 years
We were both lucky to be hired by Bruce right out of our respective law schools in 1997 and 2000. Over the years, Bruce was a tireless advocate for his clients, many of whom he stayed in touch with years after their cases ended. We witnessed Bruce’s dogged pursuit of justice for victims who had been wronged by others in every facet of each case: pleadings, discovery, depositions and trial.
That relentless pursuit led to numerous incredible results in counties throughout the State of Illinois – results that often brought accolades from entities such as the JVR, who recognized and honored his verdict in Tazewell County in Stone v. Mitek, et al, in 2015. We were fortunate to watch Bruce put that same effort and intensity to work for the plaintiffs’ bar and profession as a whole for groups like ITLA, ABOTA and the IPI committee, not to mention countless amicus filings and pro bono hours. There is no one more deserving of this award and recognition than Bruce Pfaff, and we could not be happier for him.
Congrats Bruce!!!
