Commercial Litigation

In Eddie Johnson v. Chicago Tribune, et al., No. 06-L-10771 (Circuit Court of Cook County, IL), Robert Rosenfeld represents former Illini and NBA basketball star Eddie Johnson in a defamation action against the Tribune, the “Jim Rome Show” and guest host Skip Bayless on nationwide radio, a Minnesota internet photograph supplier, and an Atlanta, Georgia television station. These defendants, the complaint alleges, defamed Johnson by falsely reporting that he had been arrested in Florida for child molestation and residential burglary. We have settled the case as to five of the six defendants, including Skip Bayless. The case is pending against the Tribune.

Robert H. Rosenfeld & Associates, LLC represents a medium sized business in a commercial lease dispute with a landlord, WHERE it is alleged that the TENANT is in material breach of the lease and therefore not entitled to possession of the critical real estate at issue.

Rosenfeld represents a purported class of people who were billed for long distance telephone service and never signed up for long distance service.

Rosenfeld represents scores of doctors and other medical providers with regard to reimbursement irregularities by insurance companies and other payors, based on systematic, software based failure to reimburse pursuant to contractually provided for schedules of reimbursement.

Rosenfeld successfully litigated and obtained real estate tax exemption status on behalf of a tax exempt church which was improperly taxed for years, resulting in a significant tax refund for the religious organization.
