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.

HOA lawyers play a vital role in reviewing and updating your HOA’s articles of incorporation, covenants, and declarations. This not only ensures compliance with current laws but also addresses the evolving needs of owners and technological changes. Regular updates can prevent costly litigation and simplify the management of your common interest community.

For HOAs and common interest community associations, collecting assessments is fundamental for providing essential services and maintaining operations. When an owner fails to pay their dues, it unfairly burdens other members. This is where HOA lawyers come in. They assist in the collection of unpaid assessments, which is critical for the financial health of your association. By ensuring efficient and lawful collection processes, HOA lawyers help maintain the financial stability and operational effectiveness of your community.

In this article, our Downers Grove HOA attorneys explain the process of hiring an attorney to review a contract for the sale or purchase of a home or condo. When you sell or purchase a home, your realtor will usually present you with a widely used form contract. The realtor will have the ability to customize that form to fit your needs. The contract will typically provide that each party's attorney will have 5 business days to (1) approve the contract, (2) reject the contract, or (3) negotiate modifications to the contract.
During this 5 day period, the contract is contingent upon attorney approval. If your attorney fails to reject or seek to modify the contract within the 5 day period, the contract will automatically be binding upon you after the 5 day period expires.
