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.

In this article, our Kane County child support lawyers explain the current state of Illinois child support law. Prior to 2017, the amount of child support required to be paid by an obligor parent was a fixed percentage of the obligor's income that varied based on the number of children involved. According to the "income shares" model of child support adopted by Illinois law in July of 2017, the amount of child support the obligor parent is required to pay is based on the obligor's income relative to that of the obligee.
In this article, our Kane County child support attorneys explain how varying income impacts child support obligations. The amount of a non-custodial parent's child support obligation is based on the income of each party. This is straightforward when both parties have consistent income like a salary, but the calculation becomes more challenging when one or both of the parties has varying income such as overtime or bonuses. In these cases, courts will either use a historical average or a base child support amount with monthly supplements. In addition, the parties will often conduct periodic "true ups" to ensure the amount actually paid in child support reflects the reality of the parties' income.
In this artilce, our Kane County child support attorneys explain how child support works after the child has reached the age of majority. Child support is mandatory in Illinois until the child reaches the age of 18 or graduates from highschool. However, courts have discretion to grant child support after this time if the party seeking child support can demonstrate that it is appropriate for things like college expenses.
