CMDA Mourns Loss of Legendary Client

Gale Sayers, one of the most iconic players in NFL history, died today, September 23, 2020, at age 77 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Gale’s concussion lawsuit against the NFL was successfully handled by Jim Acho, who represented Gale for the better part of a decade. Upon resolution of the case, Gale and Ardie Sayers presented Jim with a signed jersey. Jim has remained close to Ardie and the family, as has CMDA’s Jennifer Richards who also advised the Sayers’ family on a myriad of issues. CMDA was honored to represent such a legendary figure in the annals of sports and a great man. Our Firm offers our heartfelt condolences to the Sayers’ family, and today we remember a true legend.
