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.

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?

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.
