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 employment lawyers explain the difference between employees and independent contractors in Illinois. We explain the factors courts weigh to determine whether an agent is an employee or an independent contractor, including the extent of the employer's control over the work, the employer's right to terminate the employee, how payment works, whether taxes are deducted from payment, the level of skill required for the work, and whether the employer furnishes the tools required to perform the work.
In this article, our McHenry County employment lawyers explain the consequences of an employer withholding wages from a terminated employee. When an employee's employment is terminated, the employer is required to pay the full amount due to the employee on the next scheduled payroll. If the employer fails to do so, the employer will be liable to the employee for the amount due, plus a penalty percentage that accrues over time and the employee's attorney fees.
