Good lawyer in Chicago area?

[Red Devil]

I live in Maryland but I'm being subpoenaed in US District court in Northern Illinois. It's for allegedly illegally downloading a movie. Comcast is actually being subpoenaed to release my contact info, they have my ip address. I was told I had til May 30th to submit an order to quash this release of my info. Anyone know a good lawyer in Chicago? My attorney can't do anything because he's licensed in Maryland.
Thanks!

This is not cool. I am glad here in the mid-east the Indians and Pakis laugh at us. I get some cool flicks on recordable DVDs.

Before I go there, what kind of movie was it?...

There are no "Good" lawyers, less evil would be the correct definition.

The really embarrassing part would be if you were part of this crowd:

The closest single lawsuit in size to the Expendables case targets 15,551 BitTorrent users for downloading a handful of porn flicks with titles such as Big Dick Glory Holes and Spin on My ****. A judge has not decided whether to authorize subpoenas in that case.

ehh... they cant prove it was you that did it. did they WATCH you do it? doubt it. stick to your story

 

[vertcobra99]

I actually thought that the Expendables was a really good movie...

Did any of you actually see it? great action flick.

A precedent has already been sent that they can hold you responsible. Actually not catching you in the act doesn't guarantee your innocence.

yikes. scary what they can get away with. they are going to put a lot of people away or severely hurt a large amount of people financially.

He's probably part of that big "Hurt Locker" case. They are going after something like 25,000 people who illegally downloaded and/or shared the movie.
