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.

Learn how we service your area through our Remote Location Approach.

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.

About Champaign Civil Litigation Attorneys:

We Are Cost-Conscious And Cost-Effective!  We understand that the last thing you want to be spending your hard-earned money on is an attorney.  When handling your case, we always have an eye toward the cost-benefit analysis of your options.  We will set realistic expectations regarding the costs associated with your case at the outset, and will not surprise you with fees you were not expecting.  We pride ourselves in achieving optimal solutions for our clients in the most affordable manner possible. 

We Put Your Interests First!  Our goal is not to make money for our firm off of your case, but rather to bring your case to a speedy and favorable conclusion, so that you walk away raving about the value that you received from our Champaign County litigation attorneys.  95% of cases settle before trial, so we are always working with an eye toward achieving a favorable settlement for our clients as early in the case as possible.  We have found that if a case settles earlier in the process, each side spends less in attorney fees and the settlement is more beneficial to all parties involved.  However, we will not hesitate to aggressively defend your rights at trial necessary.  We are the tools in your hands.  Our job is to advise you and protect you, but you remain ultimately in control of all major decisions in your case. 

We Are Your Aggressive Advocate!  Our team of Champaign litigation attorneys has a reputation for taking on cases that other attorneys may find too difficult to handle.  We have significant resources and experience that our firm can bring to bear, so that no case will be too complex or to big for us to take to trial and achieve a favorable result.  We are also excellent at handling small matters that may be resolved with a demand letter in an efficient and cost-effective manner.   We are your shield and your advocate, and we are here to fight for you.
