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 commercial litigation lawyers explain motions for summary judgment in business disputes. Motions for summary judgment are a way to dispose of a case without the necessity for a costly trial. Our McHenry County business litigation lawyers will file motions for summary judgment if we believe we can prove that the key facts relating to some or all of the claims in the case are not in dispute, and, based on the undisputed facts, the law requires judgment in our client's favor.
In this article, our McHenry County commercial litigation lawyers explain motions to dismiss in McHenry County business disputes. In order to maintain a cause of action against a defendant in McHenry County, the plaintiff must file a pleading called a complaint that alleges facts that would entitle the plaintiff to damages or other relief from the defendant. Our McHenry County business litigation lawyers will file motions to dismiss the complaint if the complaint fails to state facts that would amount to a valid cause of action. If the case is dismissed with prejudice, it may not be refiled. If it is dismissed without prejudice, the plaintiff has the opportunity to amend the complaint and refile it.
In this article, our McHenry County business litigation attorneys explain the written discovery phase of commercial litigation. Early in a commercial litigation case, each party will issue written requests for information and documents to the other and to third parties. These are called interrogatories, requests for production of documents, requests for admission of facts, and subpoenas. The purpose of these requests is to allow both sides to understand the full range of information at each party's disposal in order to narrow issues for trial and prepare for depositions.
