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.

Are you navigating the complexities of a construction payment dispute? As a contractor or material supplier, you might wonder, "Do I need a lawyer to file a mechanics lien?" In Illinois, a mechanics lien is a powerful tool for securing your payment, but it's important to understand the intricacies of lien laws. Consulting with an Illinois construction lien attorney can provide clarity and direction, ensuring your lien is filed correctly and your rights are upheld.
When dealing with non-payment issues, a mechanics lien lawyer can be your ally. These legal professionals guide you through the filing process, ensuring all requirements are met. If your lien doesn't prompt payment, they can assist with the next step: foreclosure actions. This involves suing to force the sale of the property, with proceeds used to settle your claim. An Illinois construction lien attorney can tailor a strategy for your specific situation, highlighting potential pitfalls and the best course of action to protect your interests.
While enforcing a mechanics lien is effective, it's not always the only or best strategy. A knowledgeable lawyer will inform you of alternative methods to secure payment. They'll guide you through each option, allowing you to make an informed decision that aligns with your business goals. If you're considering enforcing your mechanics lien, acting promptly is crucial to avoid losing your lien rights. An experienced Illinois construction lien attorney can help you enforce your claim efficiently and effectively.
