I got a call from a really nice woman who had a civil matter in Tennessee that she needed legal help with. She lived in Tennessee, but told me that she wanted an Illinois lawyer because, “All of the lawyers down here are connected and know each other.” I explained to her that it would […]
Have you ever thought of drawing up a written agreement between you and your partner for anything that could be legally related, but decided not to because “it’s not a real contract”? As one woman in Cook County found out, written agreements do in fact matter. A woman in Cook County filed a lawsuit for […]
While people call me to help them find a lawyer, I actually offer two services with my website. It’s lawyer referrals AND legal guidance. By that I mean that I will give you my opinion of what should happen on your case and often that means telling you that you don’t need a lawyer. Some […]
When people call me for Illinois legal advice, I tell them the number one thing to do is be honest. It helps their case and helps their credibility. And of course it’s just the right thing to do. So I’m always surprised when there are attorneys who don’t follow the same rule. Or I guess […]
When I was younger, I assumed that if you hired a lawyer, you were also hiring everyone that they worked with. Why else would a group of people share an office together and represent themselves as one big firm if it wasn’t the case? What I’ve learned is that a lot of times, law firms […]
I’ve started to become a student of positive psychology. I talk to scores of people every day as I’m one of the few attorneys who will talk to anyone about any Illinois legal matter. When you do that it can test your patience because many callers don’t want to hear the truth (e.g. me telling […]
We represent and help a lot of people who have been injured in car accidents via our state wide network of Illinois attorneys. One of the crazy truths about these lawsuits is that you can have the worst injury imaginable or even death, but if you weren’t hit by someone with a lot of insurance […]
Like you, the plethora of daily fantasy sports commercials are making me long for the good old days when I had to change the channel so my young son wouldn’t be subjected to seventeen commercials in a row that lead to him asking me if I’ve ever had a four hour erection. Draft Kings and […]
We talk mostly on our site about Illinois laws and the types of attorneys who recommend. There are approximately 70,000 active attorneys in Illinois and the ones we recommend are who we think are the best around for your unique situations. There are plenty of good ones that we don’t recommend as well as we […]
Illinois has very specific rules for how wills must be prepared. In Illinois, a will must be: (1) in writing; (2) signed by the person making out their will to distribute their estate after their death, called the “testator”; and (3) signed by two witnesses while in the presence (generally the same room) of the […]
I’m always amazed or maybe not at how greedy some people can act. You see it all of the time with lawyers in Illinois who take on cases that they don’t really have a lot of experience with, but want to make what they think will be a quick buck. They forget what’s best […]
We often get e-mailed or called by people who don’t think they can afford a lawyer and wonder if they can represent themselves. The quick answer to that is you could also remove your own appendix, but we don’t recommend that either. In reality though, in some cases it’s fine to represent yourself and in […]
The purpose of probate law is to administer a decedent’s estate, with the objective of resolving claims and properly distributing assets. Probate law is complex and retaining an experienced Illinois probate attorney to assist you with conflicts increases your chance of successful resolution. Probate lawyers handle a variety of issues related to inheritance and […]
Not all referral services are the same. Actually, scratch that. Most of them are the same, but ours is very different. With us, you will get an attorney recommendation based on the particular facts of your case, not just the general area of law you’re dealing with. Our recommendation is also based on the experience, […]
When you co-sign for a friend or family member, you’re doing them a big favor. You are letting them use your good credit and reliable income, and it’s usually because theirs isn’t good enough. The creditor, whether it’s a mortgage lender, car dealer or landlord, thinks it’s too risky to lend to your friend or […]
We are happy to investigate possible legal malpractice lawsuits. It would be hypocritical not to as we are willing to sue doctors and other professionals when they screw up. What I’ve found interesting over the years about the valid cases we’ve pursued (and by valid, I mean a lawsuit was filed) is that the attorneys […]
H-1B visas allow U.S. employers to hire specialty workers (non-U.S. citizens) to come to the United States to live and work. The visas often last three years but can be extended to six years. The H-1B visa program was touted as a way to bring the world’s best technology minds to the United States. What […]
