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.
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!"

In this video, our Joliet estate planning attorneys explains how an estate plan can help you with the first goal of a good estate plan: Appointment of Fiduciaries and Distribution of Assets. A “fiduciary relationship” is an ethical or legal relationship of trust between two parties. Fiduciaries are responsible for managing some aspect of another individual’s affairs, and are held to a high standard of responsibility and care in the management of those affairs. An important aspect of a good estate plan is appointing the right people to manage your affairs if you are unable to do so yourself. If you have further questions in regards to building your estate plan, do not hesitate to contact O'Flaherty law today. We offer unmatched customer service at affordable rates.
In this video, our Joliet estate planning attorneys discuss using a trust to ensure that your estate avoids probate when you pass. We answer questions such as "What is probate?", "Why is Illinois probate bad?", and "When is probate necessary in Illinois?". A common misconception is that a simple will will allow your estate to avoid probate. This is not the case. A will can ensure that your assets are distributed appropriately in the probate case, but your case will have to go through probate with or without a will.
