Top 3 Qualities to look for in Your Attorney

Watch Our Video

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.

Factors Winnebago County Courts Consider When Determining Child Custody

In this article, our Winnebago County child custody lawyers discuss the factors that domestic relations courts consider in determining child custody issues.  

The rule of thumb is that courts have broad discretion to rule based on the "best interest of the child."  However, there are several specific statutory factors that the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (IMDMA) instructs courts to consider, such as the child's adjustment to his or her home and community and the living situation of the parents.  There are also several common law factors that are not listed in the IMDMA, but which courts have considered previously.

Maintenance Awards In Winnebago County Divorce Cases

In this article, our Winnebago County family law team discusses how spousal maintenance (i.e., alimony) is determined and awarded in Illinois divorce cases.

In short, spousal maintenance is determined in order to provide both parties with a similar standard of living upon the completion of the divorce. The court will weigh 11 factors, ranging from economic and income-based factors to interpersonal relationships, to determine the appropriate amount of spousal maintenance in the case.

To better understand what these factors are and how they might affect your divorce matter, read the full article by our Winnebago County divorce attorneys on spousal maintenance.
