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 county alimony attorneys explain how spousal maintenance payments impact child support obligations in the following companion video.
Child support in Illinois is based on each parent’s relative net income. The greater your net income relative to the other parent the greater your child support obligation will be if you are the payor and the less you will receive if you are the recipient. If you are the recipient of child support, any maintenance payments you receive from anyone will raise your net income and reduce the amount of child support you receive. If you are the party making child support payments, only maintenance payments to the same person who is receiving the child support will reduce your net income and therefore the amount of child support you are obligated to pay.
In this article, our DuPage County spousal maintenance attorneys explain recent changes to Illinois spousal maintenance laws, including raising the income threshold for application of statutory maintenance guidelines, and a reduction in the duration of maintenance for many couples. Our DuPage County spousal maintenance lawyers also explain the difference between “permanent maintenance” and the new “maintenance for an indefinite term.”
