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 Saint Charles child support attorneys discuss recent changes to Illinois child support laws that took effect on July 1, 2017. We explain the new way in which child support amounts are calculated. Illinois will now follow many other states in converting to the “income shares model” in order to calculate child support. Under this model, child support will be calculated using both parents’ income and cost of living. The number of children involved is also taken into account in child support calculations.
Current Illinois child support law awards child support based on only the non-custodial parents income. The new law will now consider both parent's incomes in an "income shares" model, which may cause some parents' child support amounts to increase, while others' amounts will decrease.
In this article, our Saint Charles attorneys examine the process for calculating Illinois child support laws and some tools that you can use to help you make the calculation. Instead of relying on the 'non-cusotdial' parent's income alone, now the courts make a determination based off of both parents income. This new income shares model is mong many updates to Illinois child support laws that has taken effect in July of 2017. Read more by our Illinois family law attorneys to learn of the changes to the law and how it will benefit you.
In this article, our Saint Charles child support lawyers explain how child support works with respect to college expenses. Courts are required to order the non-custodial parent to pay child support until the child reaches the age of 18 or graduates high school. Although not mandatory, courts have discretion to award child support for adult children. This is often seen in the case of post high school educational expenses. In these cases the party seeking child support must demonstrate that child support is appropriate.
