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.
Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.
"I've used Kevin and his firm's services since 2011. He gave undivided attention to my cases, advised me on different options and..."
"Kevin was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable when I came to him for help. I would definitely recommend O'Flaherty Law!"

In this article, our DuPage County will dispute lawyers explain DuPage County will contests.
A will contest can be filed if an individual believes that a will was executed when the testator was mentally incompetent, under undue influence, or defrauded. Our DuPage County will contest lawyers discuss the statute of limitations to file will contests in Illinois, who may file a petition for a will contest, who the petitioner must give notice of the will contest and the different situations in which wills can be contested. We then explain the will contest process in DuPage County, some common defenses to will contests, and how no-contest clauses in wills work.

In this article, our DuPage County will dispute lawyers explain lack of testamentary capacity as a cause of action in will contest cases.
Lack of testamentary capacity is an argument used when contesting the validity of a will. In order for a will to be valid, the person who created the will must have had the mental capacity to understand the consequences of executing the will. If an interested party can prove that the testator did not have the mental capacity to execute a will at the time the will was executed, the will may be invalidated by the probate court.
In this article, our DuPage County will dispute lawyers explain the differences between formal proof of will hearings and will contests.
A formal proof of will hearing is a proceeding in which an interested party requires the executor of a probate case to prove that the will was properly executed through the testimony of the witnesses. The inquiry in a formal proof of will hearing is limited to facts surrounding the execution of the will and the evidence is limited to the testimony of the witnesses to the will. A will contest, on the other hand, has a broader range of causes of action and types of proof that may be presented to the court. Often, heirs or legatees who are challenging a will will first file a formal proof of will hearing and then file a will contest if the formal proof of will hearing is not successful.
