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.

How Illinois Law Affects Paternity

In this article, we discuss how to legally identify a father when a child is born.  In addition to DNA testing to determine the father and The Vital Records Act, which both parties are in agreement, there are other ways under the law that include:

  • The father is married to the mother or in a substantially similar relationship before the child was born.
  • The father was married to the mother but the marriage was terminated within 300 days prior to the child being born.
  • The child was born within 300 days to an invalid marriage, which the father had entered with apparent compliance with the law.
  • He is listed on the birth certificate and was married at the time of birth of the child.

Illinois Child Support Law Changes In 2017

Kevin O'Flaherty explain changes to child support laws went into effect on July of 2017 in this article.  These are important because it changes how child support is calculated.  Under the old law, the non-custodial parent is ordered to pay a minimum amount without taking into consideration the custodial parents income.  The new law states that now, child support will be calculated on the net income of both parents, causing some to have their child support payment increased, while others' will be decreased.  The only exception to this is when a third-party is the recipient of child support, then the child support payments will not be affected.​
