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.

"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 Illinois trust dispute attorneys explain the rules of evidence in Illinois trust disputes. In it, we explain the Illinois Dead-Man's Act, which prevents the admission of testimony regarding conversations between the witness and a deceased individual if the witness is an interested party in the trust dispute and would stand to benefit from his or her testimony. By understanding this act, you will have a better understanding of what evidence can be brought forward in your trust dispute case.
Illinois statutes provide for certain claims that can be made against the estates of a deceased individual ("the decedent") by individuals who are the immediate family of the decedent who lived with and personally cared for the disabled decedent for at least 3 years. In this article, our Illinois trust dispute attorneys explain statutory custodial claims and how they are used in contested trust cases.
In this article, our Illinois trust litigation lawyers explain lack of testamentary capacity in trust disputes and how we prove it in litigation.
