Top 3 Qualities to look for in Your Attorney

Watch Our Video

We believe your attorney should not speak in legalese

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.

We believe your attorney should be accessible

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.

We believe your attorney should be realistic with you about costs and outcomes

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.

Trust Administration in Rock Island County

Advantages of a Revocable Trust

  • Probate Avoidance: Any assets transferred to a trust during your lifetime will avoid probate at death
  • Diminished attorney Fees
  • Immediate access to assets
  • No need to appear in court or obtain court approval for payment of debts, distribution, and termination of the trusts
  • Disability Planning: A revocable trust allows a trustee to manage a disabled client’s trust assets without the need to resort to guardianship arrangements, which can be expensive
  • Confidentiality: Unlike a will, a living trust is not filed with the probate court when the client dies. Therefore, the details of the client’s estate plan do not become a part of the public record.
  • Protection from Renunciation: Under Illinois law, a surviving spouse may renounce a will and elect to take a third of the estate (half if there is no descendant after payment of creditors). Trust assets are not included in the estate for this purposes.
  • Financial Control:  By properly drafting your trust, you can ensure that the assets in question are distributed in a financially responsible manner to your heirs
