Reported by him at registration

Founder. His firm’s rideshare article does something none of the others do: it declines to make the claim its own headline asks. Asked whether rideshare crashes are more likely to cause serious injuries, it answers that no available research clearly shows they are. The register holds him at Gainsberg Law, P.C.; the firm trades as Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers.

The bar record

The ARDC does not display one on the public view

What the ARDC will and won’t stand behind. It enumerates what that discipline line covers: all public discipline, court-ordered disability inactive status, reinstatement and restoration dispositions, and pending public proceedings — with no cut-off date. It then says investigations are confidential and that information about whether one exists is not available. So “None” means the register shows no public discipline and no pending public proceeding. It does not mean no complaint was ever made. We report the register, not an inference from it.

The insurance line is his, not the register’s. Illinois publishes a malpractice-insurance field, which most registers do not — but read its wording. It says the attorney reported at annual registration that he or his firm maintains cover. The ARDC is publishing his answer, not verifying it. Arizona and Washington publish an insurance field too; Illinois is the one that names whose claim it is.

What the record shows

The article opens by answering its own headline in the negative: serious injuries can occur in Chicago rideshare crashes, it says, but no available research clearly shows they are more likely than in ordinary car crashes. On a page whose commercial purpose is to attract rideshare cases, that is the opposite of what this site usually has to correct.Verified

It cites University of Illinois Chicago survey research, the Illinois Transportation Network Providers Act and a City of Chicago training document, and links each.Verified

The ARDC names the firm Gainsberg Law, P.C. The firm’s site trades as Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers. Same Washington Street office.Verified

This is the firm’s own marketing. It shows they hold themselves out as taking rideshare cases — it is not evidence that they have run one, and we have not verified any rideshare case they have handled.

What we haven’t checked

Not established. The ARDC publishes no registration number, law school, practice areas or fee terms, and holds no email for him. His clerkship and publication are from his own bio. We have not reviewed court records for case outcomes, we print no settlement or verdict figures, and we have no basis for judging quality of representation. A bar check is a floor, not a ranking.
