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 divorce lawyers explain how to file a petition for dissolution of marriage in McHenry County, Illinois. Filing a petition for dissolution of marriage is the first step in initiating a divorce matter. The petition must include certain background information regarding the marriage and the spouses, including information regarding any children involved and the couple’s assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Once the petition for dissolution of marriage has been filed in the proper domestic relations court, it must be properly served on the other party.
In this article, our McHenry County divorce attorneys explain how McHenry County domestic relations courts divide assets in divorce. The first step is to determine which property constitutes “marital assets” subject to division. Next the court will look at several factors to determine how the marital assets will be divided, including the duration of the marriage, the needs of each party, and the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of the marital property.
In this article, our McHenry County divorce lawyers explain the concepts of dissipation and contribution in McHenry County divorces. The assets that must be divided among the spouses in a divorce are referred to as the “marital estate.”
“Dissipation” occurs when one party improperly spends assets of the marital estate for his or her personal benefit. When dissipation occurs, the party who dissipated the assets will be required to pay back the dissipated assets to the marital estate.
On the flip side, “contribution” occurs when one party has contributed his or her own personal assets to marital needs. In these cases, the contributing party will have those assets refunded to him or her by the marital estate.
