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.

In this article, our McHenry County bankruptcy attorneys explain the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your debts are discharged, rather than being renegotiated. Chapter 7 bankruptcies are appropriate for people with more than $10,000.00 of dischargeable debt and less than $15,000.00 in equity in their homes ($30,000.00 for a married couple).

In this article, our McHenry County bankruptcy lawyers explain the difference between Chapter 7 bankruptcies and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your non-exempt assets are collected by the bankruptcy trustee to pay your creditors. If you do not have enough non-exempt assets to pay your creditors, the unpaid debts will be completely discharged.
If you have assets of value significantly more than the amounts that are exempt from collection by the trustee, if you have too large of an income to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or if you have already received a Chapter 7 discharge in the past 8 years, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, in which debts are renegotiated and paid over the course of 3 to 5 years, may be the best option for you.
In this article, our McHenry County bankruptcy attorneys explain what happens at a meeting of creditors in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. After your bankruptcy petition and accompanying schedules showing your assets, liabilities, income, and expenses has been filed with the bankruptcy court, the next step is the First Meeting of Creditors. This is usually brief and painless, and creditors rarely show up. Typically the bankruptcy trustee will interview you for 5 to 10 minutes to ensure that bankruptcy is in your best interests and that no fraud is occurring.
