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.

Our DuPage Cooperative Divorce attorneys will give you honest guidance, taking your particular situation into account in order to help you decide whether Collaborative Divorce, Cooperative Divorce, or traditional divorce is the right option for you and your family.
In this article, our DuPage County divorce attorneys explain family mediation.
Family mediation is a method of resolving different family law issues, including:
Mediation differs from collaborative law divorce and cooperative divorce in that, in mediation, a third party professional mediatior is brought in to assist the parties and their attorneys in reaching a settlement. Mediation is an undervalued tool to help solve family law related issues outside of court settings which allows parties to attempt to come to agreements on family-related issues. This not only saves time in court but money on legal fees by attempting to resolve these issues with an attorney or 'mediator." As long as both sides are willing, this option is a preferred method that allows our DuPage County family law attorneys the chance to save our clients money and time.
