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 video our Elmhurst paternity attorneys explain paternity law in Illinois. If there is a "presumed father," as defined by the Illinois Parentage Act, there is a higher standard of proof required to show that the "presumed father" is not actually the father of the child. The "presumed father" is also entitled to certain notices, described below if the mother or a third party attempt to establish that someone other than the "presumed father" is the father of the child.
According to the Illinois Parentage Act, you are the "presumed father" of a child if any of the following is true:
In this video our Elmhurst paternity attorneys explore questions involving paternity and whether it is required for child support payments. If, at the time of the child’s birth, the mother and father are unmarried, the paternity is not immediately assumed. This absolves the father of any immediate child support or other legal action until paternity has been established, either through the father’s voluntary acknowledgment of paternity or by testing. Paternity can be established either voluntarily by consent of both parents or involuntarily through a petition to establish paternity
In this article, our Elmhurst paternity attorneys discuss court ordered parenting classes.
