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.
Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.

In this article, our St. Charles litigation attorneys explain the written discovery process in civil disputes. Early in a litigation case, each party generally sends a list of requests for information and documents to the other side. These are known as interrogatories and requests for production of documents. If the requests are issued to a third party who is not a party to the case they are called subpoenas. The parties may also request that one another admit or deny certain facts in order to narrow the issues for trial.
In this article, our St. Charles civil litigation attorneys explain motions for summary judgment. The purpose of a trial is to have a jury or the judge decide which party's version of the facts is true. However, oftentimes, the parties don't disagree on the underlying facts, but instead on how the law should be applied to those facts. In these cases, a motion for summary judgment requests the court to rule on the matter without a trial by applying the law to the undisputed facts that are already in the record through affidavits, written discovery or depositions.

In this article, our St. Charles civil litigation lawyers explain contempt of court. In civil cases, judges will often order parties to take certain actions, such as personally appear in court or respond to written discovery by a certain date. If a party fails to comply with a court order, the other party may file a Petition for Rule to Show Cause, which asks the court to hold the other party in contempt. This usually will lead to a fine if the respondent fails to promptly comply with the court's order.
