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.

Consider the story of the Thompsons, a family looking to buy their first home in Palatine. The couple found their dream home and were eager to close the deal. However, during the legal review, our real estate attorneys discovered several undisclosed liens and problematic clauses in the home's title that could have jeopardized their investment.
With our comprehensive legal review and negotiation skills, we were able to resolve these issues by negotiating with the seller to clear the liens and amend the contract terms. This intervention not only saved the Thompsons from potential future legal disputes but also ensured that their home purchase was secure.

Realtors typically prepare a form contract when you agree to the purchase or sale of your home. However, these contracts typically provide for a 5-day modification period during which either side’s attorney can request modifications to the contract and revoke the contract if an agreement on such requested modifications is not reached. During this period, your attorney will explain the contract to you and make sure that the actual terms of the contract match your understanding of the deal.
