Call Us Now!
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, Naperville attorney Kevin O’Flaherty explains how written discovery fits into the larger civil litigation process.
There are various phases of written discovery. These include requests for production of documents, interrogatories and requests for admission of facts. We explain each of these documents and also discuss common objections to written discovery. We explain and the process of resolving objections and compelling discovery responses when the other party fails to adequately respond.
In this article, our Naperville civil defense litigators discuss the use of motions for summary judgment in civil litigation.
Motions for summary judgment may be used to request a court to provide a ruling on all or some of the issues in the case without trial. We discuss how motions for summary judgment are filed and the process for briefing and hearing these motions. If there is no issue of material fact and judgment is appropriate for a matter of law, motions of summary judgment are often granted, and can be a more cost-effective defense strategy than a trial.
Our Naperville defense attorneys further discuss motions to dismiss in the following companion write-up.
We explain the two major types of motions to dismiss (2-615 and 2-619) and how they are similar and different to one another. We also take some time to outline how briefings and hearings for a motion to dismiss work under Illinois legal procedure.
