Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese. You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand. You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.
The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls. Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails. An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs. Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible. It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.
Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.

Imagine a local small business owner, Emily, who was in a contract dispute with a supplier. The legal issue was going to affect her business’s workflow and finances. She didn’t want to get into a long legal fight so she turned to our Bloomington civil litigation attorneys.
We started by reviewing the contracts and looking into what happened. We had evidence and contract law on our side so we negotiated hard with the supplier. When negotiation didn’t work, we were ready to fight for Emily in court.
It was a tough process but we never wavered. We got a good settlement and Emily could get back to business as usual without further interference from the other side. That’s a win for Emily and a win for our client’s rights through litigation and negotiation.

Landlords perform thorough background checks on prospective tenants, examining credit history and scores through credit checks. These checks include scrutiny of public records, and uncovering eviction notices that are public records. Evictions, whether rightful or wrongful, can linger on credit reports for up to seven years and indefinitely in court records, influencing credit scores.
