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.

The income threshold at which courts may deviate from statutory guidelines has been doubled from $250,000.00 to $500,000.00 per couple. This generally means that less spousal maintenance will be required for couples in this range. In addition, the statutory guidelines for the duration of maintenance payments has been reduced for many couples.
In this article, our Cook County lawyers explain why it is important to have a Healthcare Power of Attorney as part of your estate plan. A Healthcare Power of Attorney allows you to appoint a loved one to make healthcare and other life decisions on your behalf if you are not mentally competent to do so. Together with a financial power of attorney, which appoints a loved one to make financial decisions in that situation, the healthcare power of attorney can make a stressful and costly guardianship proceeding unnecessary if you become incompetent due to old age, illness, or accident.
