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.

"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 video, our Cedar Rapids homeowners association attorneys explain how a lease agreement obligates you, the tenant, and the landlord typically for a set period of time. Most often for residential leases, it is a year. Under most residential lease agreements, a landlord can’t raise the rent or change terms until the lease period ends, unless otherwise provided for in the lease. At O'Flaherty Law Cedar Rapids, we are dedicated to protecting your rights as a tenant. If you feel as if your rights have been violated, do not hesitate to contact us for exemplary representation.
In this video, our Cedar Rapids homeowners association attorneys give a comprehensive list of tasks that the seller or their attorney must handle between the execution of the contract and the closing date of the property. Some of these items include disclosures of hazards, surveys of the property, dealing with possible home owners associations, and more. We at O'Flaherty Law understand that selling real estate is not as easy as listing it online. That is why our experienced teams of lawyers are ready and eager to help deal with all aspects of closing a property.
In this video, our Cedar Rapids condo association attorneys explain how withholding rent is a potential remedy, it is not recommended. Failing to pay rent because your landlord doesn’t make repairs to your residence is dangerous and risky. The landlord may evict you, leaving you homeless. While you can take the case to court, you do not know whether a judge will agree that the problem with the residence was so bad that you had the right to withhold rent. However, it is illegal for a landlord to refuse to make necessary repairs or to shut off utilities because a tenant is simply behind on rent. If you feel as though your rights are being violated by your landlord, do not hesitate to contact O'Flaherty Law Cedar Rapids for exemplary representation.
