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.
Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.
"I've used Kevin and his firm's services since 2011. He gave undivided attention to my cases, advised me on different options and..."
"Kevin was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable when I came to him for help. I would definitely recommend O'Flaherty Law!"

The good news is that you don’t have to face these challenges alone. A trusted family law attorney can help you protect your rights and plan for a stable future, no matter how complex your situation may seem.
Divorce is one of the most difficult life events anyone can face. It involves both practical decisions and emotional hurdles. From deciding where your children will live to determining how property and debts will be divided, every part of the process feels daunting. Our Bolingbrook divorce and family law attorneys are here to simplify the legal side of things so that you can focus on healing and moving forward.
An initial consultation is a valuable opportunity for potential clients to understand how our legal services can specifically address their unique situations. We understand that no two divorces are alike. Each case brings its unique circumstances, and our approach is always tailored to the specific needs of the clients we serve. Whether your case is amicable or involves complex disputes, our divorce attorneys will guide you every step of the way.
We once worked with a client who came to us feeling overwhelmed by the divorce process. She had spent years trying to work things out with her spouse, but eventually, she knew that divorce was the only option. Her biggest concern was her two young children. She wanted to ensure that the custody arrangement would be in their best interests while maintaining a cooperative relationship with her ex-husband.
When she first met with our family law attorney, she felt anxious and unsure of what to expect. However, our team provided a laid-back atmosphere, which gave her the comfort to speak freely about her concerns. This openness allowed us to craft a legal strategy that took her priorities into account, particularly around child custody and visitation. Client testimonials often highlight our professionalism, trustworthiness, and personalized attention, which reassured her throughout the process.
Through a series of mediation sessions, we were able to help her, and her spouse come to a fair agreement that prioritized the children’s needs. The result was a child custody plan that worked for both parents and put the children’s well-being first. Our client walked away from the process feeling relieved and empowered, knowing that her children’s future was secure.
Child custody is often the most emotionally charged aspect of family law cases. Both parents want what’s best for their children but defining “best” can be challenging. Our family law attorneys in Bolingbrook work with you to develop a parenting plan that balances the needs of your children with your own desires and obligations.
We understand that children’s lives are affected by these decisions, and we approach custody and support matters with care. Whether you are negotiating shared custody or modifying an existing agreement, we’ll ensure your voice is heard while always keeping your children’s best interests in focus.
In some cases, guardianship may be necessary for a family. Our attorneys are experienced in assisting clients with establishing legal guardianship when parents are unable to care for their children. This can be a difficult decision, but it’s sometimes the best choice for the child’s safety and well-being. We work to ensure that guardianship arrangements are clear, legal, and in the best interest of the child.
The division of assets is another critical aspect of any divorce. Illinois law requires that marital property be divided equitably, which doesn’t always mean equally. Our divorce and family law attorneys can help you understand which assets are subject to division, including real estate, retirement accounts, investments, and personal belongings.
We work with you to reach a fair settlement that respects your contributions during the marriage. If necessary, we will advocate for your rights in court to ensure that your financial future is protected.
Your life will continue to evolve after the divorce is finalized. Sometimes, circumstances change in ways that affect the original terms of your divorce decree. Our Bolingbrook divorce attorneys assist clients with post-divorce modifications when necessary, such as adjustments to child custody arrangements, child support payments, or spousal maintenance.
Our focus is on delivering clear, practical legal advice that you can rely on. We offer:

In this article, our Bolingbrook family law attorneys explain the enforceability of prenuptial agreements. A prenuptial agreement is a contract between two people that expect to be married resolving issues that would be involved in a potential divorce, such as spousal maintenance and the division of marital assets and liabilities. Prenuptial agreements cannot resolve child support or child custody issues, because courts will determine these issues in the best interests of the children involved.

In this article, our Bolingbrook family lawyers explain recent changes to Illinois spousal maintenance laws. Divorce courts are instructed to apply statutory guidelines for the amount and duration of alimony awards for couples with a combined income below a certain threshold. For incomes over that threshold, courts have discretion to deviate from the guidelines, usually awarding more in spousal maintenance. The income threshold for the application of stautory guidelines for spousal maintenance awards has been raised from $250,000.00 to $500,000.00.
