Sam Inendino v. Nance-Holt, et al.

Chicago, Illinois civil rights job discrimination lawyers represented the Plaintiff.

Plaintiff Sam Inendino ("Inendino”) alleges that Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Chicago fire commissioner Annette Nance-Holt, and the City of Chicago (collectively, "Defendants”) violated his First Amendment rights when he was terminated from his position with the Chicago Fire Department ("CFD”) for statements he made on his private Facebook page.
