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 Great at What We Do! Kevin O'Flaherty was honored to be named one of Suburban Life Magazine's Best Under 40. As a firm, O'Flaherty Law was named one of the 10 Best Attorneys for Client Satisfaction for 2016 by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys. Because we have received so much positive client feedback, we were also the recipient of the Avvo Clients' Choice Award for 2016 in the practice areas of both Rockford Divorce and Estate Planning. We have an A+ rating with the better Business Bureau, and are proud to have never received a complaint. Most importantly, many of our previous clients have thought highly enough of our above-and-beyond service to take time out of their busy schedules to leave us positive testimonials. Our Rockford attorneys are the best at what they do, and we are proud of the good work that we perform as a firm for each of our clients.
We Are Affordable! We are proud of our affordable rates, which allow us to build long-term relationships with as many members of the community as possible. For many legal matters, we offer budget-friendly flat fees. If a flat fee is not feasible, our attorneys will work efficiently with an eye toward your budget. From the outset of your case, we will set reasonable expectations for costs and outcomes, and continue to communicate with you at every stage of your matter, so that you will never be surprised by a legal bill. We would rather charge less and have you rave to your friends and family about the amazing value that you received from our firm. We Are Client-Focused! Legal skill and experience should be a prerequisite for any attorney you are considering hiring. What sets us apart is our above-and-beyond approach to client service. We won't speak to you in legal ease; you will feel comfortable with our down-to-earth Rockford attorneys.
We are accessible, available 24/7. We promptly return all calls and e-mails and will affirmatively communicate with you and educate you at each stage of your case. Finally, we are your trusted adviser. We always act with the utmost integrity, and are always honest and realistic with our clients about the likelihood of and the steps necessary to accomplish their legal goals.
We Are Comprehensive! Unlike sole practitioners who are spread too thin, our team of skilled Rockford lawyers and staff is large enough to provide comprehensive service in nearly every practice area and provide our clients with the resources they need to achieve your goals. However, we are not like expensive downtown firms that are too large to focus on client service. We have found a sweet spot, allowing us to provide affordable, above-and-beyond customer service, while being a one-stop shop for our community's legal needs. Once we earn your trust, you will never have to look for another attorney again, regardless of your legal matter.
