Michael D. Robbins & Associates and attorney Jeffery J. Neslund represented the Estate of LaQuan McDonald,  a 17 year old who was fatally shot by a Chicago Police officer on October 20, 2014.  The $5 Million dollar settlement was approved by the Chicago City Council in April, 2015. The settlement was achieved following an intensive five month investigation which revealed the true facts of the shooting and without the necessity of filing a lawsuit.   The disclosure of the settlement, and the subsequent release of the dash cam video, in November, 2015 which  captured the fatal shooting, launched a firestorm of protests in Chicago, and across the nation.
