Top 3 Qualities to look for in Your Attorney

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.

Bettendorf Probate: When is Probate Necessary in Bettendorf?

Bettendorf Probate matters consist of a court case that is often required when someone passes away in order to give the administrator or executor of his or her estate the legal authority to collect the deceased person's assets and distribute them to his or her heirs and beneficiaries.

Bettendorf Estate Planning: Using Revocable Living Trusts to Avoid Probate

In this article, our Bettendorf estate planning attorneys discuss how revocable living trusts are used as part of an estate plan to enable an estate to avoid probate in Bettendorf. Bettendorf Revocable living trusts are legal entities that can own property separate and apart from their creator and during the grantor's lifetime the grantor has complete control over all of the assets owned by the trust. However, when the grantor passes, the assets in the trust are not considered part of his or her "estate" and therefore need not go through probate.
