Top 3 Qualities to Look for in Your Attorney

Your attorney should not speak in legalese.

Finding an attorney who doesn't use complex legal jargon and is a “real person” can be difficult. You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and they should speak to you in plain language that you can understand.

Your attorney should be accessible.

You deserve a responsive legal team that communicates regularly and promptly returns your calls.  Although legal matters can take time, you should feel confident in the progress of your case.

Your attorney should be realistic about costs and outcomes.

You want a favorable outcome as efficiently as possible.  It is essential that your attorney set realistic expectations about the costs you should expect, concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.

  • We Are Affordable! We know our clients appreciate cost-efficient service. That's why our Chicago Civil Litigation Attorneys strive to always keep your budget in mind throughout your case. We sit down with our clients to outline a strategy that will match your budget. We let you know of the separate parts of your case and how much to expect. This ensures that you aren't shocked by an outrageous bill that you didn't see coming. This kind of client awareness separates us from a lot of law firms. Our ability to communicate and provide cost-effective services are what we take pride in. 
  • We Put Your Interests First!  Every new client becomes a part of the O'Flaherty family. We appreciate our long-standing relationships with our clients. Your happiness is our happiness. We want you to keep us in mind the next time a legal matter arises in your life. To do this, we make sure you leave feeling like your case didn't drag out too long. We work to quickly resolve issues at the earliest stages so you think about the value you received next time you come back to us or refer us in the future. The majority of cases are resolved before trial. If we are able to settle before your case reaches trial, this will save you time and money. However, this does not mean we sacrifice any of the tools we will use to fight for your case. If trial does become necessary, we are well prepared to put you the best position to succeed.
  • We Are Your Aggressive Advocate!  We have a history of taking on difficult cases. Our Chicago litigation attorneys have built up a strong reputation for the difficult cases we take on. Other attorneys find some of the cases we've taken on too challenging. However, we have the resources of the bigger firms but are client-focused like small firms. Whatever size your case is, we are determined to provide the best client service.

Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.

Top 3 Qualities to Look for in Your Attorney

Cost-Effective

When we started our firm in the midst of the recession, we learned to survive in a lean environment and pass the savings on to our clients.  As the economy has improved, we have not changed our philosophy.  We are hungry to grow our client base, and so we have intentionally set our rates below what the market will bear.  Our mission is to make each client walk away feeling that they got more value than they paid for.  This is easier to do when we make our prices affordable.

Client-Focused

The secret to our success as a firm is incredibly simple: we build a personal relationship with each of our clients and treat them with the respect that they deserve.  We pride ourselves on our open lines of communication, frequent check-ins with our clients, and our accessibility.  We are here to help you in any way we can, often leveraging our network of resources to assist you with non-legal issues that you may be having.  We are your one-stop problem-solver and trusted adviser.  All attorneys say that they provide excellent client service, but, unlike other attorneys, we practice what we preach.  We make sure every client walks away happy . . . period.

Comprehensive

We are your community law firm.  Our business is built on long-term relationships with our clients.  Our clients have the luxury of building trust over time with one team of attorneys, rather than having to find a new attorney for each different type of matter that arises over the course of their lives.  No one attorney can be experienced at everything.  That is why we have worked hard to assemble a team of attorneys with extensive experience in different areas of experience.  Our attorneys work together closely to bring our collective experience to bear on any issue that may arise for our clients.

What to Expect From a Consultation

The purpose of a consultation is to determine whether our firm is a good fit for your legal needs. Although we often discuss expected results and costs, our attorneys do not give legal advice unless and until you choose to retain us. Although most consultations are complimentary, some may carry a charge depending on the type of matter and meeting location.

Written Discovery in Bettendorf Litigation Matters

‍Your attorney has to uncover as much as he or she possibly can about you, your adversary, and the situation leading to you hiring an attorney to determine what course of action is best for you.  The vast majority of civil cases settle during this discovery phase because one side or other comes across facts that tell the attorney the client would be unlikely to win at trial.  So, how does this whole process begin?

Bettendorf attorney, Kevin O'Flaherty, explains Shareholder Opression

Sharehoder and Oppression Explained

The first step of every Bettendorf litigation case is filing a Complaint. This will state the cause of action and outlines the civil law that has been violated by the Defendant. It also serves the purpose of outlining the damages that the Plaintiff is entitled to. The defendant then is faced with two choices once the Complaint has been served:

  • He or she can admit or deny each allegation listed in the Complaint and raise defenses by filing an Answer to the Complaint; or
  • He or she may file a Motion to Dismiss. This motion states that the Complaint is defective, or that there is some other affirmative matter that would require the case to be dismissed. ​
