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 an expert at everything.  That is why we have worked hard to assemble a team of attorneys with extensive experience in different areas of expertise.  Our attorneys work together closely to bring our collective experience to bear on any issue that may arise for our clients.

Great at What We Do

Since our business comes entirely from referrals and community involvement, our reputation for quality legal work is our greatest asset . . . and it is extremely important to us.  Each of our attorneys is truly experienced in his or her practice areas, with the highest personal standards of excellence.  We are proud of our reputation in the community, and we did not achieve it by accident.  Our reputation for excellence comes from hard work, continuing education, and an above-and-beyond approach to our clients’ cases.

Most Important Situations In Which To Consult Your Business Lawyer

Our Cook County commercial real estate attorneys discuss the different types of commercial leases and tips for negotiating these leases. The different type of leases are: single net lease or net lease, net-net or double net lease, triple net lease, and full service gross or modified gross lease. While some commercial leases may truly be non-negotiable, almost every landlord or listing agent allows some “wiggle room” for negotiation. Negotiations can go back and forth several times, so be patient. If you have not heard back on your offer for 1 or 2 business days, feel free to follow up. Some tips for negotiating this lease are: identifying the length or term of the lease you would prefer, research comparable rents, determine you desired occupancy date, demanding favorable clauses, and reading the termination clause closely.

Having Your Commercial Real Estate Contract or Commercial Lease Reviewed By An Attorney

In this article, our Cook County commercial real estate lawyers explain the process of having a commercial lease or commercial real estate contract reviewed by an attorney.  We explain how bullet point opinion letters can make the process cost-effective, allowing you to decide which issues you would like to negotiate. The next step in the process would be discussion with the client, and then after that would be communicating the proposed changes to the other party. Finally you would review the revised contract you had made to make sure everything is in order.
