Call Us Now!
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.
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’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.

Guardianship issues are personal and entail a tricky legal process, requiring knowledge of state and federal laws. Whether you need to establish guardianship for a loved one or are having issues with your current guardianship, our guardianship attorneys in Bloomington, IL are here for you every step of the way.
Guardianship is a legal structure to protect individuals who cannot take care of themselves or manage their affairs due to age, disability or incapacity. For example, a disabled person may have a legal guardian, which a court appoints. In this instance, the disabled person would be the "ward," which is often times one of the ward's family members.

It’s a big responsibility to be a guardian for a disabled adult who is 18 or older. You have been granted authority over any or all aspects of the person’s existence as a guardian. You must abide by the law, the guardianship order, and all other applicable court orders relating to your guardianship. When managing the ward’s affairs, you must behave in the best interests of the ward and prevent any conflict of interest or appearance of impropriety.
