“I am very honored to be selected as the Chair of the national Bicycle
Litigation Committee. Everyone at Keating Law Offices is very proud of the fact
that this is the first time an attorney from the Midwest has been selected as
the chair of the committee. In many ways this is an honor for all of Illinois’
bicycle community as it reflects the respect Illinois bicycling is receiving
nationally for our commitment to safe bicycling.”

justice system through education and disclosure of information critical to public
health and safety.
