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 DuPage County child support lawyers take a closer look at recent changes to Illinois child support laws.
Illinois changed how child support is calculated by converting to the "income shares model" to calculate child support. With this model, the amount of base child support will now be calculated based on economic tables that take into account both parents' income, the cost of living and the number of children involved. After this amount is calculated both parents will be responsible for a proportional amount based on the amount they make compared to one another.
In 'shared parenting' arrangements, which occur when both parents have cared for the child for at least 146 nights a year, the amount of time each parent spends with the child is factored into the amount of child support for which each parent is responsible. The base child support for which the couple is collectively responsible is increased in shared parenting situations as well.
In this article, our DuPage County child support attorneys examine the process by which Illinois child support awards are calculated in Illinois.
This new income shares model is among many updates to Illinois child support laws that took effect in July of 2017. Instead of relying on the "non-custodial" parent's income alone, now the courts make a determination based off of both parents' income.
In this article, our DuPage County child support lawyers explain how courts determine child support for college expenses.
Illinois courts are required to consider four factors when determining whether to order child support for educational expenses after high school:
Unlike child support for minor children, courts are not required to award child support for college expenses, but have discretion to do so based on an anlaysis of the above factors.
