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.

In this episode, our Aurora landlord & tenant dispute attorneys give a comprehensive idea of what the rights of tenants are. Most people who have rented have a horror story or two. Whether thats busted pipes, leaks, mold, and many others- oftentimes the tenant does not do anything about these believing that their only remedy was moving out. Historically this was the case, but today renters have a variety of rights to ensure that they live in peace and comfort.
In this episode, our Aurora landlord & tenant dispute attorneys give the legal guidelines to notices necessary for landlords to give to tenants prior to moving out. In Illinois, if there is no lease or if the lease does not specify a move out date, the Landlord must give at least 30 days of notice to a tenant that the landlord wants to move out. This notice must be in writing and must arrive to the tenant at least 30 days prior to their move out date. While this is the standard, there are several situations in which a landlord may give less than 30 days notice. Watch the video or read the article for more information on move out notices.
