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 commercial dispute lawyers explain the method used in business litigation to dismiss unwarranted cases in an affordable, efficient manner. We explain the process of using motions to dismiss including the briefing process in which each side presents the court with memorandums of law in support of their argument, as well as the hearing process and oral arguement.
Our DuPage business litigation attorneys also explain the difference between Illinois Supreme Court Rule 2-615 and 2-619 motions to dismiss. Rule 2-619 motions to dismiss are used for the dismissal of the case due to the defeat of a plaintiff's claim based on an affirmative defense or extraneous facts. Rule 2-615 motions to dismiss can be used to dismiss a complaint due to a failure of the complaint to properly state a cause of action on its face.
In this article, our DuPage County business dispute attorneys further explain non-compete agreements and when they are enforceable.
Non-compete agreements must be tailored very specifically in order to be enforceable. If a non-compete agreement is too broad in the type of behavior it limits, duration, or geographical scope, courts may find the entire agreement to be invalid. Our DuPage County commercial dispute lawyers have extensive experience in interpreting the enforceability of non-compete agreements in business contracts.
