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.

Schaumburg Will Contest Lawyers - Protect Your Inheritance Rights

Contesting a will can be a tough and emotional process. At O’Flaherty Law, our Schaumburg will contest lawyers will walk you through every step of challenging or defending a will based on grounds such as undue influence, fraud, mental incompetence, or other legal defects.

Why Contest a Will? Contest a will when you think the will doesn’t truly reflect the decedent’s wishes because of undue pressure or the decedent was not of sound mind. A will contest can change the distribution of the estate so it aligns with what the decedent really wanted.

Reasons to Contest a Will:

  • Undue Influence: When the decedent is forced to change the will in a way that benefits one person over others unfairly.
  • Fraud: If the will was altered or the decedent was misled about what was in the will.
  • Lack of Capacity: Contest the will because the decedent was not of sound mind when the will was made.

Will Contest Lawyers We have decades of experience in probate litigation and will provide personalized and sensitive legal help during difficult times. We know the ins and outs and will work to get you the results the decedent wanted.

What to Expect from Your Consultation: During your initial consultation we will review your case to determine if you have a will contest, discuss the outcomes and the costs involved. We want you to understand everything about your case and feel supported throughout the process.
