Top 3 Qualities to Look for in Your Attorney

Your attorney should not speak in legalese.

Finding an attorney that 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.

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.

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, 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 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.

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 Happens if You're Pulled Over in Chicago?

In this video our Chicago criminal defense attorneys explain what rights you have when pulled over in a traffic stop. If you find yourself pulled over in Chicago, you are provided certain protections under the law. While you have to comply with an officer's request for identification and proof of insurance. You do not have to answer any questions the police ask you. This is due to the 5th amendment protection against self-incrimination. Refusing to answer questions from an officer is NOT an admission of guilt. When pulled over, it is always recommended to be polite and give the documents requested, but also know your rights.

In this episode of Learn About Law, our Chicago criminal defense attorney Kevin O'Flaherty discusses what type of marijuana drug charges can be expunged and how to do so.

Expunging Marijuana Convictions in Illinois

In this video, our Chicago criminal defense lawyers discuss what type of marijuana drug charges can be expunged and how to do so. Under the new law some drug possession convictions will be automatically expunged. If you received a conviction for possession of up to 30 grams of cannabis and the conviction was not related to a more serious crime, your conviction is likely to be automatically pardoned and expunged from your record.  If you have a conviction for possession of between 30 and 500 grams of cannabis or possession of drug paraphernalia, your conviction will not be automatically expunged, but, beginning in 2020, you will have the opportunity to affirmatively petition the court to expunge the conviction. 


In this video, Chicago criminal defense attorney Kevin O'Flaherty discusses the rights you have even while under arrest in Chicago.

Know Your Rights if You Get Arrested in Chicago

In this video, our Chicago criminal defense attorneys explain your rights if you are arrested in Illinois and the Illinois criminal process including warrants, bonds, and stop and frisk laws. An arrest can happen at homes, businesses, from vehicles and for various reasons. Theft, suspicion, criminal acts, traffic violations and more actions can result in being arrested in Chicago. A common misconception is that there must be an arrest warrant in place before a party is arrested. While having an active warrant can be cause for arrest, there are exceptions that give officers the discretion to arrest an individual.

  • Probable Cause
  • A criminal act was committed

When an arrest takes place you need to know what protections you have under the law. In this article, we explain the arresting and charging process and the rights you have before, during, and after you're arrested.
