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.
"I've used Kevin and his firm's services since 2011. He gave undivided attention to my cases, advised me on different options and..."
"Kevin was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable when I came to him for help. I would definitely recommend O'Flaherty Law!"

In this article, our Winnebago County criminal defense team explains what to do in the event that you are pulled over for a DUI.
When you contact our attorneys regarding a case of DUI, we will negotiate a plea with the state to support you in the dismissal or reduction of charges.
If a plea is not available in your case, we will go through the necessary steps to award you court supervision. By receiving court supervision, you avoid
having a conviction on your record and you get your license back. Some steps you can expect to go through to be
awarded court supervision are paying a monetary fine, undergoing an alcohol
evaluation, and participating in a Victim Impact Panel. In some cases, community service may also be
required. Upon the completion of your
supervision requirements, your case will be dismissed and you will not have a
conviction on your record.
In this article, our Winnebago County DUI lawyers show how repeat DUI offenses lead to more severe consequences.
When you are arrested on a second DUI, the opportunity to plea for court supervision is
withdrawn. In the event that you are
convicted for your second DUI, your license will be revoked.
Our veteran DUI attorneys will negotiate with the court to get you community service rather than jail time. A third DUI results in a felony charge if you
are convicted.

Our Winnebago County criminal defense lawyers are here so that you know your rights if you are arrested in Illinois.
An arrest can happen at homes, businesses, from vehicles and for various reasons. Theft, suspicion, criminal acts, traffic violations, and other actions can result in being arrested in Winnebago County. 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.
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.
