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.

Our Springfield employment lawyers explain wage withholding and the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act.
In this article, our Springfield employment lawyers explain employees' rights to access their personnel files. Employees can have access to their employment records twice a year while employed and for up to a year once terminated. There is no law in Illinois requiring an employer to create personnel files for employees. Therefore an employee is only entitled to review records to the extent that they exist.
Employers must retain any and all documentation to support termination of an employees' in their personnel file, if this is not done, then such documentation may become inadmissible in court as evidence in any future litigation.
