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 Tinley Park attorneys discuss the creation and review of your contract by a lawyer. Before renewing a lease, we create an opinion letter which clarifies elements you need to be aware and what you may want to renegotiate. After discussion of the opinion letter, we examine areas of the lease that may be beneficial to renegotiate and what should be revised. The opinion letter is then presented to the other group signifying the revisions you are requesting changed.
Another option is having our Tinley Park lease attorneys adding the changes directly into the lease and distributing the revisions to the other party. Once the other party has the revised lease agreement, they can do the same and once completed, both parties produce an agreement that is accepted by both sides.
