ROCKFORD Keenan Saulter’s journey to the glare of news conferences covered by CNN, MSNBC and FOX News started with what he thought was the lowest moment of his professional career.
The Great Recession, which devastated the housing, real estate, auto and banking industries, also hit the legal community hard. Saulter was laid off from Chicago s biggest law firm, but that led him to starting his own practice.
Now, the Rockford native has built a reputation for taking on controversial civil rights cases that challenge police in their interactions with Black people.
The 1993 Auburn graduate had earned his bachelor’s degree from Illinois State then his law degree at the prestigious Howard University in Washington, D.C. After passing the Illinois bar exam, he worked for Barrick, Switzer, Long, Balsley & Van Evera in Rockford before moving to Chicago in 2003.
