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.

In this article, our Cook County elder law attorneys explain some of the key things we can help you accomplish with proper senior planning, including appointment of trustees and executors to manage your estate when you pass, assuring that your assets are distributed to your loved ones according to your wishes, ensuring that your estate does not require a costly probate case in order to be distributed, and ensuring that your estate is not consumed with long-term care expenses.
In this article, our Cook County elder law attorneys explain how to plan for long-term care in Illinois. Many people rely on medicaid to pay some or all of their long-term care expenses. Medicaid requires that you "spend down" your own assets before becoming eligible for medicaid benefits. Proper long-term care planning will allow you to pass your assets to your loved ones while still becoming eligible for long-term care assistance through medicaid.
In this article, our Cook County elder law lawyers explain powers of attorney. Powers of Attorney are used to prevent the need for a costly and time-consuming guardianship case in the event that you become mentally incompetent.

Healthcare powers of attorney appoint an agent to make healthcare and other non-financial decisions on your behalf if you are mentally incompetent due to accident, old age, or disease.
