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.

We help you understand the process of planning for long-term care with your estate plan. Long-term care in the Quad Cities can be very expensive. Due to this, many rely on Medicaid to cover these expenses.
However, applying for Medicaid in the Quad Cities requires individuals to spend or "draw down" most of your assets. Medicaid planning using irrevocable trusts ensures that you can retain your home and possessions to pass onto your loved ones while still qualifying for Medicaid.
In this article, our Quad Cities Medicaid planning attorneys discuss the types of assets that are transferable within the Medicaid 5-year look back period.
Transfers for less than fair value within 5-years prior to applying for Medicaid can delay your eligibility for Medicaid benefits to pay for long-term care though some transfers are permissible within this 5 year look-back.
We examine the transfers that are allowed by the Medicaid penalty period if made within the five-year look-back period.
We examine how living wills can be used to make end of life decisions while you are still mentally competent.
In this article, our Rock Island elder law attorneys discuss that If a will is in place, the doctor will be instructed to terminate life support if you are in an irreversible coma.
