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 article, our McHenry County Child support attorneys discuss recent changes to Illinois child support laws. We explain the new way in which child support amounts are calculated. Illinois will now follow many other states in converting to the “income shares model” in order to calculate child support. Under this model, child support will be calculated using both parents’ income and cost of living. The number of children involved is also taken into account in child support calculations.
Prior to 2017, Illinois child support law awarded child support based on only the non-custodial parent's income. The new law now considers both parents' incomes in an "income shares" model, which may cause some parents' child support amounts to increase, while others' amounts will decrease.
In this article, our McHenry County attorneys explain modification of child support orders in Illinois. Child support can generally only be modified if there is a "substantial change in circumstances." We discuss what qualifies as a substantial change in circumstances, including changes of either parents' income and changes to the needs of the child. We also discuss how to modify your child support if there has been a substantial change in circumstances.
In this article, our McHenry County child support attorneys explain how to estimate your child support under the new income shares child support law. We describe the various tools that have been provided by the Illinois Department of Healtchare and Family Services and how to use them, including how to calculate the total amount of child support that will be required under the new guidelines and how to calculate each party's net income.
