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 Downers Grove breach of contract lawyers explain common defenses to breach of contract, including material breach by the other party, anticipatory repudiation, duress, unconscionability, impracticability, undue influence, fraud, and mistake. We also discuss other considerations in contract defense, including statutes that make the contract illegal, unenforceable one-sided clauses, and contract loopholes.
In this article, our Downers Grove contract dispute lawyers explain how motions to dismiss work in civil litigation, including the difference between a 2-615 and a 2-619 motion to dismiss and how motions to dismiss can be used as a tool to efficiently dispose of unmeritorious cases.
2-615 Motions to Dismiss are typically filed when the complaint fails to properly state a cause of action. 2-619 Motions to Dismiss are filed when an affirmative matter will easily defeat the claim. If a motion to dismiss is filed, each side will typically submit briefs to the court before an oral argument will be held to persuade the judge to rule in your favor.
In this article, our Downers Grove contract dispute lawyers explain the importance of including an attorney fee clause in your contract.
Attorney fee clauses allow the winning party in contract litigation to collect attorney fees and court costs from the other side as damages. This serves the dual purpose of dissuading parties from pursuing frivolous suits against one another and of making meritorious suits economically feasible.
