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..."

Choosing the right law firm can change everything. At O’Flaherty Law, we pride ourselves on transparency, responsiveness, and personalized care. See how we compare to the industry standard.
A commercial dispute can quickly disrupt day-to-day operations and put valuable business relationships at risk. O’Flaherty Law represents Des Plaines businesses in breach of contract, unpaid invoices, ownership disputes, partnership disputes, vendor disputes, allegations of misconduct, and other commercial claims. We work to understand what’s at stake and build a strategy that supports both your legal position and your long-term business goals.
The decisions you make early on in a commercial dispute can have a lasting effect on the result. Emails, contracts, invoices, financial records, text messages and internal company documents can all become important evidence. It is important for businesses to keep relevant information and not to delete records and to exercise caution in their communications with the other side when a serious dispute arises.
Our attorneys can review the governing agreements, ascertain possible claims and defenses, and assist in determining whether immediate action is necessary. Sometimes the priority may be to recover money or enforce a contract. In others, the business may need to stop the misuse of confidential information, protect company property, respond to a lawsuit or settle an ownership dispute before it disrupts operations.
Commercial litigation is not simply what takes place in a courtroom. Legal strategy should also take into account costs, timing, business relationships, public reputation and the practical value of any potential judgment. O’Flaherty Law takes the time to explain your options so you, the business owner or decision-maker, can make informed decisions at each stage of the dispute.
We assist clients with pre-litigation demands, settlement negotiations, complaints, responses, discovery, motions, mediation, trial preparation, and courtroom litigation. If your company is making a claim or defending against one, we are committed to straightforward communication and pragmatic solutions. Our goal is to protect your interests and assist you in moving on with as little disruption to your business as possible.

That depends on the contract, the seriousness of the breach, and the effect that ending the relationship could have on your company. Stopping performance too early could expose your business to a counterclaim, while continuing the relationship without addressing the problem could increase your losses. An attorney can review the agreement, determine whether notice or an opportunity to cure is required, and help your company respond without unintentionally weakening its position.
Preserve evidence showing what was taken, when it was accessed, and how the information has been used. Do not alter devices, delete accounts, or attempt to access someone else’s private information. Your company should review employment agreements, operating agreements, confidentiality provisions, access logs, and communications. Depending on the facts, legal action may be available to recover property, protect confidential information, or prevent further harm.
In certain cases, a business may request a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction. This type of relief may be used when waiting for the full lawsuit to conclude could cause immediate or continuing harm. Illinois law provides procedures for temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, including prompt hearings when emergency relief is granted without advance notice. These requests require strong supporting facts, so businesses should seek legal guidance as soon as a serious threat arises.
