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..."

Our Cook County commercial real estate attorneys discuss the different types of commercial leases and tips for negotiating these leases. The different type of leases are: single net lease or net lease, net-net or double net lease, triple net lease, and full service gross or modified gross lease. While some commercial leases may truly be non-negotiable, almost every landlord or listing agent allows some “wiggle room” for negotiation. Negotiations can go back and forth several times, so be patient. If you have not heard back on your offer for 1 or 2 business days, feel free to follow up. Some tips for negotiating this lease are: identifying the length or term of the lease you would prefer, research comparable rents, determine you desired occupancy date, demanding favorable clauses, and reading the termination clause closely.

In this article, our Cook County commercial real estate lawyers explain the process of having a commercial lease or commercial real estate contract reviewed by an attorney. We explain how bullet point opinion letters can make the process cost-effective, allowing you to decide which issues you would like to negotiate. The next step in the process would be discussion with the client, and then after that would be communicating the proposed changes to the other party. Finally you would review the revised contract you had made to make sure everything is in order.
