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..."

In this article, our Bolingbrook construction attorneys explain Guaranteed Maximum Price construction contracts (GMP Contracts). In a GMP construction contract, the contractor will charge the owner a variable rate based on the actual cost of the project, but will limit the price to a certain amount. The contractor bears the risk of exceeding the maximum price, while the owner stands to gain if the contractor comes in under the maximum price.
In this article, our Bolingbrook construction dispute lawyers explain mechanics liens. Mechanics liens are a tool used by general contractors and subcontractors to ensure that they are paid for the work they perform. If a mechanics lien is properly filed and perfected, the property upon which the work was performed cannot be sold without paying the amount of the lien. In addition, contractors who hold mechanics liens have the right to foreclose on the property to satisfy the debt.
Bolingbrook construction attorney Kevin O'Flaherty explains general contractor agreements. We explain the importance of clearly defining the scope of work and terms of payment. We discuss deadlines for completion of the project and liquidated deadlines for delays. We also explain how allowances, schedules of values, and contingencies work.
