We’ve noticed an uptick of late of attorneys in Illinois telling their potential clients what they want to hear. Business is down for a lot of law firms and some are doing whatever they can to land a client. This includes flat out lying. If you were hurt in a car accident and want to […]
In normal times, the Illinois Bar exam would have taken place two weeks ago. Due to Covid it first got pushed to September 9 and 10 and now is going to be online October 5 & 6. I remember a lot from the summer of 1994 when I took the Illinois Bar test. The night […]

I usually post blogs based on good questions I get from callers. Some questions aren’t long enough for a post, but are still worth discussing. Here are some of the best ones I haven’t written about. I got divorced and my attorney called me a couple weeks after the case was done to say I […]
I’ve been a lawyer since 1997 and started this company in 2001. When I did, I came in with two major values about how I’d run this service. First, I try to talk like a real person. I don’t always succeed, but it’s gross when attorneys try to talk all fancy with legal jargon to […]
