Top 3 Qualities to look for in Your Attorney

Watch Our Video

We believe your attorney should not speak in legalese

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.

We believe your attorney should be accessible

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.

We believe your attorney should be realistic with you about costs and outcomes

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.

Further Reading from our Lincoln Park Elder Law Attorneys

Creating an Estate Plan in Lincoln Park

In this article, our Lincoln Park elder law attorneys unravel how trusts are used in order to prevent Chicago probate proceedings. In probate proceedings, the courts distribute the assets of a deceased individuals' estate to heirs and creditors. The proceedings are a long and costly process that can be avoided by implementing a revocable living trust and transferring money and other estate assets to it during one's lifetime.

The revocable living trust is a legal entity that owns the assets and property of the trust's creator during their lifetime. The creator of the trust has control of it during their lifetime and can also stipulate what happens to the assets in the trust once that individual is no longer living.

You can read the full article by our Lincoln Park elder law attorneys about what having a great estate plan can accomplish for you and your family.
