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 the following companion article, our Downers Grove business litigation attorneys explain motions for summary judgment in the context of commercial disputes.
Motions for summary judgment are used to resolve all or some of the issues in a case without the need for a trial. In a motion for summary judgment, the movant argues that there are no important disputes as to the underlying facts surrounding the issue in question. If this is the case, then it is not necessary to present evidence to the trier of fact. Instead, the judge is able to apply the facts to the law in a motion for summary judgment hearing, instead of an evidentiary trial. Our Downers Grove commercial litigation attorneys explain the process by which motions for summary judgment are briefed and heard by the civil court.
