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.

Our Bolingbrook elder law attorneys explain why Power of Attorney forms are an essential part of a good estate plan. The purpose of Powers of Attorney is to appoint loved ones to manage your affairs if you should become mentally incompetent through old age, illness, or disease. If you execute both a Financial Power of Attorney and a Healthcare Power of Attorney while you are still mentally competent, a costly, time-consuming, and stressful guardianship proceeding will not be necessary in order to allow your loved ones to make decisions for you if you become mentally incapacitated.
In this article, our Bolingbrook elder law attorneys explain the use of living wills in a good estate plan. If you go into an irreversible coma and you have a living will in your medical file, your doctor will be instructed to terminate life supporting treatment.

In this article, our Bolingbrook medicaid lawyers explain how to plan in advance for long-term care. Long-term care can be incredibly costly. For this reason, many people take advantage of Medicaid benefits in order to cover the cost of long-term care. However, in order to qualify for Medicaid benefits, you must have first spent the majority of your own assets. We explain how a good estate plan can allow you to use Medicaid for long-term care while still retaining your assets for your loved ones.
