Hupy and Abraham, S.C. Helps To Ensure That Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run Lives On
Posted June 20, 2008
Recently, the organizers of the Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run and A.B.A.T.E. of Illinois members called on Hupy and Abraham, S.C. to assist in working with the City of Marseilles to make sure this wonderful event can continue to take place annually. Hupy and Abraham, S.C. Attorney Pete Naylor, a member of two A.B.A.T.E. of Illinois chapters, is providing pro bono representation to the Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run.
Recently, there was growing concern that the City of Marseilles would not issue a special event permit, required to have the Illinois Freedom Run in their city, citing security concerns. The application for the permit was tabled at least once by the City Council, and just three weeks before the event, the permit had not yet been issued. Hupy and Abraham, S.C. through conversations with the City Attorney, Rich Burton, was able to help ensure that the special use permit would be issued. After many conversations, the special use permit was issued on June 4th at the City Council Meeting. Pete Naylor, an attorney with Hupy and Abraham, S.C., was in attendance and spoke at the meeting.
Hupy and Abraham, S.C. continues to provide pro bono assistance to the Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run on many issues that still need to be negotiated with respect to the Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run and the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial, and is confident that this event will take place for years to come.
