Press Release, 12/18/2007As a result of a lawsuit filed by Clifford Law Offices on behalf of the family of five-year-old Diamond Brownridge, who tragically died after falling into a coma because her dentist over sedated her, Governor Rod Blagojevich signed a new law that will help protect patients during dental procedures.
