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.

Wheaton Commercial Litigation Attorneys

Business disputes can get in the way of operations and financial security. When negotiations don’t work, commercial litigation is necessary to protect yourself. At O’Flaherty Law, our Wheaton commercial litigation attorneys will help you resolve disputes quickly and efficiently.

Types of Commercial Litigation

Commercial litigation encompasses a broad range of disputes that can affect any size business. Some of the most common business disputes are:

  • Breach of contract: When one party doesn’t live up to their contract.
  • Employment disputes: Wrongful termination, wage issues, non-compete agreements.
  • Partnership and shareholder disputes: Business management, profit sharing, ownership interests.

The Litigation Process

The process follows these steps, each requiring close attention and strategy. Our Wheaton commercial litigation attorneys will guide you through every step, so your case is handled with care. The process is:

  • Pleadings: Both sides file initial documents stating their claims and defenses.
  • Discovery: Each side gathers evidence through depositions, document requests, and witness interviews.
  • Motions: Pre-trial motions may be filed to dismiss parts of the case or narrow the issues.
  • Settlement negotiations: Many disputes are resolved through mediation or negotiation before trial.
  • Trial and judgment: If no settlement, the case goes to court for a final decision by a judge or jury.

Each step matters.
