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.

In this article, our Saint Charles trust litigation attorneys describe two common causes of action in trust disputes. Tortious intereference with an expectency of an inheritance and fraudulent inducement both involve a third party committing a tortious or illegal act to cause the plaintiff to be deprived of an expected inheritance. Unlike suits that challenge the validity of a trust, these are tort claims against a third party defendant, seeking damages from the individual who committed the wrongful action.
In this article, our Saint Charles trust litigation attorneys explain the Illinois Dead-Man's Act. The Illinois Dead-Man's act prevents witnesses from testifying regarding conversations with a deceased individual if the testimony would benefit them in the case at hand. We discuss the specifics of the types of testimony that are not allowed in trust disputes and some exceptions to this rule.
In this article, our Saint Charles trust dispute attorneys explain statutory custodial claims.

We explain exactly who may make a statutory custodial claim, how courts decide how much to award the claimant, the priority of statutory custodial claims as compared to other claims against the estate, and the presumption against claims by non-related caregivers.
