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.

In this article, our Kane County probate lawyers explain when probate is required in Illinois. Probate is a court case in which the court oversees the distribution of a deceased person's assets to heirs and creditors. Probate is generally required if the deceased person owned any real estate outside of a trust or more than $100,000.00 in other assets outside of trusts or retirement accounts. In the article below, we will explain why we want to avoid probate and how good estate planning can accomplish this goal.
In this article, our Kane County estate planning lawyers explain the use of revocable living trusts to avoid probate. We want to avoid probate because it is a court case that takes at least a year. This means that your loved ones will not have access to your assets until the case is resolved, that a significant amount of assets will be consumed in attorney fees and court costs, and that your loved ones will have to deal with the stress of an ongoing legal matter. By using revocable living trusts as the primary vehicle of your estate plan, we can ensure that probate won't be necessary. Instead, your estate can be distributed immediately and without an attorney through the use of a Small Estate Affidavit.
In this article, our Kane County estate planning attorneys explain some of the most important reasons to have an estate plan if you have a minor children.
