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.

Tinley Park Medicaid Planning: Allowable Transfers Within The 5 Year Look Back Period

In this article, our Tinley Park Medicaid attorneys discuss life estate deeds and irrevocable trusts.  Their use allows yourself to be eligible for Medicaid assistance with long-term care without drawing down your assets.  We also discuss irrevocable trusts and how they are used to prevent Medicaid from seizing assets upon your death if Medicaid pays for your long-term care.  Since Medicaid requires your assets to be spent to be eligible for long term care assistance, this information can be invaluable to protect assets for your loved ones.  The Medicaid 5-Year Look Back Period is explained, which delays eligibility for Medicaid when you transfer certain assets to your family members.  We compare life estate deeds and revocable living trusts as Medicaid planning tools and ensure you know the choices that are right for you and your loved ones.

Tinley Park Medicaid Planning: Allowable Transfers Within The 5 Year Look Back Period

Our Tinley Park elder law attorneys discuss transfers that don't incur Medicaid penalties.  Transfers for less than market value won't result in a Medicaid penalty if they occur within Medicaid's 5 year look back period.  Transfers include those to a spouse or trust that benefits an individual with a disability.  Different rules are discussed for transferring your residence, including transfers to a child that is under 21 or a "caretaker child."  Knowledge about transfers and rules that govern them helps you maneuver through the regulations of Medicaid when making financial decisions.
