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..."
"Kevin was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable when I came to him for help. I would definitely recommend O'Flaherty Law!"

In this video, our Elmhurst trust litigation attorneys describe that a trust is both a document and a legal entity that can own property separate from its creator. A trust is created by an individual or entity known as a “grantor” or “settlor". Once the trust is drafted and executed by the grantor, the grantor or third parties can transfer ownership of property to the trust. The trust is therefore a separate legal entity from the grantor that can own property, much like a corporation.
In this video, our Elmhurst trust litigation attorneys will explain how to use special needs trusts in order to maximize social security benefits for individuals with disabilities. We use Special Needs Trusts, also known as Supplemental Needs Trusts, in order to allow disabled individuals to accumulate assets and income in excess of these amounts without reducing the amount of SSI benefits that they are eligible to receive.
In this video, our Elmhurst trust litigation attorneys discusses the reformation of a will or trust, reformation of a trust based on mistake, reformation of a trust based on changed circumstances, and lastly what evidence is necessary in a reformation suit. Reformation of a will or trust is the action of modifying the will or trust instrument to best align with the intent of the settlor (the person that established the trust). The differences between a will and trust reformation versus modification are subtle, but, generally, reformation is concerned with correcting an inaccuracy caused by mistake, fraud, or changed circumstances, while modification seeks to modify the actual terms of the trust to clear up confusion, ambiguity or due to an unforeseen change in circumstances. Both revocable and irrevocable trusts can be reformed or modified by the court and these actions can be forced by an interested party in a reformation lawsuit.
