Bob Clifford (yes, he wears eyeglasses sometimes) is pictured here with a client from 1993 — Lillie Ruth Roberts of Chicago’s south side. Mrs. Roberts received a record $14.5 million verdict in a medical malpractice action more than 20 years ago. Following the two-week trial, Mrs. Roberts said, “My attorneys made it all possible. I think they did a great job. Even when I had some doubts, they made me feel it was always possible. Without them I couldn’t have won the case. They helped the jury understand what was the truth.”
