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.

Wheaton Order of Protection Attorney

Dealing with an order of protection can be tough and emotional. Whether you need protection from harm or need to defend against an order filed against you, legal help is key to making sure your rights are protected. At O’Flaherty Law, our Wheaton order of protection attorneys will guide you through this process and protect your interests.

What is an Order of Protection?

An order of protection is a legal tool to stop harassment, abuse or harm. Illinois courts issue these orders to protect people from abusive family members, ex-spouses or others they have a close relationship with. There are different types of orders, including:

  • Emergency orders: Issued without notice to the other party, provides immediate but temporary protection.
  • Interim orders: Granted after the other party has been notified but before a full hearing occurs.
  • Plenary orders: Long term orders after both parties have had a chance to present their case in court.

An order of protection can include provisions such as staying away from the victim, no communication or no contact with children.

How an Order of Protection Can Help

For people being threatened or harmed, an order of protection provides legal relief. At O’Flaherty Law, our Wheaton order of protection attorneys help clients get the right order to protect themselves. Here are a few ways these orders can help:

  • No contact provisions: Prevents the abuser from contacting the victim through any means, phone or message.
  • Exclusive possession of the home: Gives the victim the right to stay in the shared home and requires the abuser to leave.
  • Temporary custody and support: The court can grant temporary custody of the children and child or spousal support.

Filing an order of protection gives you peace of mind by having legal protection in place to stop the abuse.

Defending Against an Order of Protection

If you have been served with an order of protection, you need to act fast to protect yourself. Our Wheaton order of protection attorneys at O’Flaherty Law help clients understand their options and defend against unfair or false accusations. Here’s how we can help:

  • Review the order: We review the terms of the order to find issues or violations.
  • Prepare your defense: We gather evidence and represent you at hearings to contest the order when needed.
  • Custody and visitation disputes: If the order affects parenting time, we work to protect your relationship with your children.

Whether seeking or defending against an order of protection, early legal guidance can significantly impact the outcome of your case.
