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.

Our Illinois alimony attorneys explain in the following article what information Illinois divorce courts use to make decisions on spousal maintenance.
Broadly, courts weigh a number of factors to determine whether maintenance is appropriate. If maintenance is appropriate, courts apply statutory guidelines in cases in which the combined income of the couple is below a certain threshold, and may deviate from the guidelines if the income is above the statutory threshold.
The most challenging and time consuming portion of any divorce proceeding is sorting through the finances.
Dissipation and contribution are often an overlooked component when analyzing marital finances because both concepts deal with money that has already been spent. The key difference between the two concepts lies in how the money was spent. If a spouse spends marital assets for something that only benefits himself or herself, this is dissipation, and the money must be reimbursed to the marital estates. If a spouse spends non-marital assets to benefit the marriage, this is contribution and the spender will be reimbursed.
Our Illinois spousal maintenance attorneys discuss how maintenance payments affect child support obligations. Whether giving or receiving maintenance payments affects the amount of child support that you can expect to be obligated to pay or entitled to receive, is a complicated topic. However, in this article, our Illinois maintenance attorneys explain maintenance and child support obligations in clear and understandable terms.
