Hon. Gary Feinerman presented David and Courtney with the award for their outstanding work on behalf of Robert E. Williams in Williams v. Wexford Health Sources, Inc., Case No. 14 C 1113.

Mr. Williams, an inmate at Stateville Correctional Center, filed a civil rights lawsuit against the prison's healthcare provider and state&nbsp;prison officials&nbsp;for denying him the medical care needed to treat his serious and painful medical condition. The defendants repeatedly ignored Mr. Williams's requests for&nbsp;medical attention, and refused to provide him with appropriate or&nbsp;effective&nbsp;medical care. Mr. Williams obtained treatment through the course of his lawsuit, and the parties ultimately reached a settlement in early 2016.

Mr. Chizewer is a principal in the firm's Litigation Group and a&nbsp;nationally recognized trial lawyer featured in the National Law Journal’s list of 10 of the nation’s top litigators.&nbsp;
