I was astounded with the service I received from Mr. Hugh Stephens in regard to my husband's compensation claim. He was not only efficient, but also compassionate, and communicated clearly and frequently. Because of his outstanding efforts and expertise, I, who am now a grieving widow, am unexpectedly stabile and secure. I had little to do. He did all the heavy lifting. I'm so very grateful for his help. I'll always remember not only his professionalism, but also his kindness.

I was a machinist at Honeywell F.M.&T.and developed bilateral tinnitus and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. They helped me file a claim with EEOICPA in 2017. Stephen’s & Stephen’s was very good to work with, they take care of all the paperwork and help with any paperwork I receive from the Department of Labor. They stay on top of things helping with scheduling impairment reviews etc.I feel that without their help this would have been a very overwhelming process.I plan on still using them if any other illnesses occur due to my employment with Honeywell.

I had other attorneys hired in Cortez, Colorado and Grand Jct., Colorado to assist me with receiving my uranium claim, but they were not successful. I was advised by an employee of CNS of Stephens & Stephens, LLP good work. I contacted them & they took my case It was settled very quickly. I have been very pleased with this group & would advise others of their prompt service. I would recommend them to others. Respectfully, Frankie Knuckles

My family used Stephen’s and Stephen’s for a settlement case. We were extremely pleased with all they did. They were very professional, easy to get a hold of, and invaluable when it came to answering questions and handling complicated Department of Labor issues and forms. They also did everything in a very timely manner. I have already recommended them to other people.

I have been represented by Hugh Stevens for several years now, He and his staff has made everything so easy for me. I had lung cancer from working in the uranium processing industry, they have opened so many doors for me and made dealing with DOL so much easier. They always answer my questions in a very timely manner. I have referred several other people to him and he has been able to get them through this process also. There are benefits that I was not aware of that he has brought to my attention and been able to lead me through the process of obtaining them. I would most highly recommend him to lead anyone through this process.

When I first contacted Stephens & Stephens I was at the end of my rope with DOL. Hough and his staff got me on track and handled everything with DOL and just made this process so easy. Do not know where I'd be with out them. They are able to communicate at a layman's level and understand the client. Would strongly recommend this firm.

Our initial conversation with Mr. Stephens was productive & reassuring. His previous experience with similar cases was obvious and very helpful, in both asking us specific questions for clarification & also addressing our own questions. Breanna is also a great asset to their team.

I have referred several friends to Hugh Stephens and they were more satisfied than they ever expected. I would refer him with confidence to anyone in need. I trust when he speaks for me, for example, in court. He is a good communicator and a deep thinker. He is well respected in his profession. He handles environmental law, injury law, and medical malpractice. He is tactful and direct and knows what he is doing. He knows the legal briar patches well.

C-B Tool Products Co.

 
State: Illinois
Location: Chicago
Time Period: 1944
Facility Type: Atomic Weapons Employer

Facility Description: For a six month period in 1944, C-B Tool Products Company had a subcontract with the University of Chicago to provide personnel, facilities, and equipment to produce special machining of parts for special equipment, tools, jigs, and fixtures to the Met Lab from materials provided by the University of Chicago. It is unclear whether the company handled radioactive materials.

*Site Function:
During the period from June 1944 through December 1944, C-B Tool Products Company entered into a subcontract with the University of Chicago for services and supplies to the Metallurgical Laboratory (an MED contractor). Under the terms of the subcontract, C-B Tool Products provided personnel, facilities, and equipment to produce special machining of parts for special equipment, tools, jigs, and fixtures from materials furnished by the University. This subcontract was one of several placed by the university with similar companies in the Chicago area. The subcontract had a maximum obligation of $10,000. No documents have been found which describe the specific tasks or work accomplished by C-B Tool Products. In addition, there are no records to specifically indicate whether radioactive material (uranium) was handled at the facility.

Site Description:
The location of the site is on the University of Chicago Campus. Ingleside Hall is currently located at this address, which houses the University of Chicago’s Office of Employment and a U.S. Post Office. The current building is west of the intersection of Ellis Avenue and 58th Street, where 58th street dead-ends into the west side of the University Hospital area.

Contacts made with the University did not indicate that the current building had been used for machining or housed the C-B Tool Product Company. In the 194Os, a building at this address was moved as part of the renovation of the Hospital area. There is a possibility that the machining could have been performed in the old warehouse-type buildings, located behind the 956 East58th Street address. However, these buildings have been demolished.

The University of Chicago has been the sole owner of the site from the time the work was conducted to the present.

**DISCUSSION:
There is no available documentation to support or substantiate that radioactive materials were handled or involved at any time. Additionally, the building that may have served as the location for machining or tool development was demolished in the 1940s.
