Skokie Native Finds Fresh Start in Legal Services

In 2010, when Skokie native David Richmond was laid-off after 25 years working in IT, he tried refreshing his resume with computer classes but to no avail, after a few months he made a drastic change—starting a small business, Lincolnwood Review reported.
