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 article, our St. Charles estate planning lawyers explain how to avoid probate. Probate is a court case that is generally required to distribute your assets when a resident of Illinois passes away owning any real estate or more than $100,000.00 of non-real estate assets outside of a trust. Probate can be expensive to the estate and stressful to the family. It also tends to delay your family's receipt of your assets. Our St. Charles estate planning lawyers use revocable living trusts to ensure that our clients' estates do not go through probate when they pass.
In this article, our St. Charles estate planning lawyers explain why it is important to have powers of attorney as part of your estate plan. Financial powers of attorney name a trusted loved one to make financial decisions for you if you become mentally incompetent. Healthcare powers of attorney name an agent to make healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to do so. If you have both a healthcare and financial power of attorney, a costly and time-consuming guardianship proceeding will not be necessary if you become mentally incompetent through old age, disease, or accident.
