Dear Former Clients, Colleagues and Friends:
After 42 years of practicing law, I will be retired on December 31, 2022. My legal career has been immensely rewarding on many levels, and I sincerely appreciate the confidence my clients, colleagues and friends have placed in me since 1980, when I first became an Illinois lawyer. While I look forward to pursuing many non-legal pastimes, I will miss collaborating with you.
Regards,
Linda S. Kagan
