SimmonsCooper recently donated $10.2 million to build The Simmons Cooper Cancer Institute at SIU, which will catapult Southern Illinois University into the forefront of cancer research and treatment.

A local reporter saw this event as a pretext to criticize law firms like ours that win major cases against corporations, and to snicker at the size of the judgments we have achieved.

You’d think millions of dollars to alleviate suffering would be accepted at face value. You’d think the focus of attention would be on cancer victims and their families, not on us. You’d think the real story would be on the marvelous steps that are about to be taken to cure this terrible disease, rather than on how much money a law firm is able to pledge.

Political agendas make some people very mean.
