Life in Rockford

Rockford, Illinois is a city on both banks of the Rock River, in Northern Illinois. It is the county seat of Winnebago County, and the third-larges city in Illinois, with a population of over 150,000 people.

Rockford, IL experienced a major economic boom in the first half of the 20th Century, largely due to the massive industrialization of the entire country that was necessary to the war effort in WWII. However, like many industrial cities, Rockford, IL went into a steep economic decline in subsequent decades.

However, with the manufacturing industry in the U.S. bouncing back faster than the rest of the economy in the wake of the recession of the late 2000s, Rockford, IL has reaped some of these benefits. One of the biggest employers in the city is a major Chrysler manufacturing plant. Part of this recovery has been due to government investment in the area, and was made possible, in part, by the government bailout of the two largest auto companies in the U.S. Several Rockford, IL lawyers were probably involved in coming up with this deal.

The lawyers of Rockford, IL are skilled in handling a wide range of cases. If you live in the Rockford area, and need a lawyer, you can't do much better than hiring a Rockford, IL attorney.
