Miller Shakman Levine & Feldman assists clients in navigating the complexities of the Freedom ofInformation Act (FOIA) to obtain public records from government agencies. We represent individuals, media organizations, businesses, and non-profit organizations in making FOIA requests, appealing denials, negotiating resolutions, and pursuing litigation when necessary to further the goals of transparency, accountability, and access to vital information.

We place particular emphasis on working with government agencies to reach a negotiated resolution that allows our clients to receive the requested information as quickly as possible. We have helped clients obtain records from the City of Chicago, the Chicago Police Department, Cook County, the State of Illinois, the Governor’s Office, the SEC, the Department of Homeland Security, and numerous other municipalities and public bodies.

Our deep understanding of FOIA’s requirements and exemptions enables us to effectively protect our clients’ rights and serve the public interest.
