Call Us Now!
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.

One of our clients, a small business owner in Bolingbrook, IL, came to us after a major contract with a supplier fell apart. The supplier had promised to deliver critical materials on a tight deadline, but the materials never showed up, leading to a dispute between the two parties. Our client’s business was suffering and their reputation with customers was at risk. Feeling overwhelmed and not sure what to do, the client reached out to our civil litigation team.
After reviewing the contract and all the communications between the parties, our civil litigation attorney determined the supplier had breached the contract. We worked with the client to gather evidence, emails, invoices, and records of communication to build the case.
Instead of going to trial, our civil litigation attorney advised the client to settle first which would save time and money. Through negotiation, we were able to get the supplier to pay our client for the losses incurred due to the delay.
This is an example of how a solid legal strategy and negotiation can get you a result in civil litigation. Our client was relieved, their business was protected, and they were able to repair their customer relationships without the added stress of a long court battle.
