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.

When filing a divorce in Will County, there are guidelines that must be met to ensure the Will County courts are the proper venue for the divorce. In this article, we discuss how to determine which court is the proper venue for a divorce and how to determine jurisdiction for divorce cases across state lines.
In this article, our Will County family lawyers explain recent changes to Illinois family law. 2016, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act was revised, leading to several changes to Illinois family law. Previously, there were several different grounds for divorce in Illinois, and the durationi of the waiting period during which parties were required to live separate and apart depended on the grounds for divorce. Now, irreconcilable differences is the only ground for divorce, and the waiting period, which can be waived if both parties agree, has been reduced to six months.
The terms "child custody" and "visitation" have been replaced with "allocation of parenting time and responsibility." Our Will County family law attorneys explain how allocation of parenting time and responsibility is determined and how it differs from the concept of custody.
Finally, parental relocation law now focuses on the distance of the move, rather than whether state lines are crossed.
In this article, our Will County divorce lawyers explain collaborative divorce and cooperative divorce. Both collaborative divorce and cooperative divorce are methods by which the parties to a divorce attempt to resolve issues surrounding the divorce such as child support, allocation of parenting time and responsibility, division of assets and liabilities, and spousal maintenance outside of court and without litigation. In both a collaborative divorce and a cooperative divorce the parties and attorneys agree to freely exchange information and negotiate in good faith. However, in a collaborative divorce, the parties must seek new attorneys if litigation becomes necessary.
