Lawyers As “Experts” On TV Might Not Be One

Most Illinois Attorneys Don’t Know The Law

Does Your Illinois Attorney Hate His Job?

I consider myself lucky in that even after 24+ years, I still enjoy being a lawyer in Illinois. I believe it’s due to the fact that I’ve carved out a niche doing something I love and every day is different for me. Sure some days are better than others, but I can’t imagine doing anything […]

Do You Need An Illinois Lawyer On Retainer?

In movies or on TV people like to say, “I will call my lawyer.” Or, “You will hear from my lawyer!” In some cases, you see that lawyer handling all sorts of legal situations for their friend/client. That of course is not real life. In real life, I talk to many people who want to […]

Should An Illinois Lawyer Bill You For Research?
