FAQs

What areas of law does your firm handle?

Our firm focuses on people-centric law: Family Law, Employment Law, Civil Litigation, and Estate Planning. We assist clients with issues that affect their day-to-day lives, like divorce, custody disputes, workplace issues, contract disputes, and wills and trusts.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes we do offer free initial consultations for most types of cases to discuss your situation, review your options, and determine the best course of action for your unique situation. If your case involves questions on employment law – like whether you feel you’ve been a victim of discrimination, or you have a severance agreement you’d like reviewed, we may ask for a consultation fee in advance. Employment law and some general civil cases require extensive research before ever meeting with a client for a sit-down consultation. The fee covers those types of cases which require us to do legal research before you step through the door. Please contact our office to schedule a time that works for you.

What should I bring to my first meeting with an attorney?

Bring any documents related to your case — such as contracts, court papers, financial statements, or correspondence. This helps us better understand your situation and provide specific guidance.

How long does a typical divorce case take in Illinois?

The length of a divorce case can vary depending on the complexity of the issues involved and whether both parties are in agreement. Uncontested cases may take a few months, while contested cases can take longer.

What are my rights if I believe I’ve been wrongfully terminated?

If you’ve been fired due to discrimination, retaliation, or violation of an employment contract, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination claim. We can review your situation and help you understand your legal options under Illinois and federal law.

How can I protect my assets through estate planning?

A comprehensive estate plan typically includes a will, trust, power of attorney, and healthcare directives. These documents help ensure your assets are protected and distributed according to your wishes while minimizing taxes and avoiding probate where possible.

Can you help with child custody or support modifications?

Yes. If your circumstances or those of your co-parent have changed, we can assist with filing a petition to modify custody or support orders in accordance with Illinois law.

What types of civil cases do you handle?

We represent individuals and businesses in a range of civil disputes, including contract issues, property matters, and personal or professional liability claims.

How are attorney fees structured?

Our fee structure depends on the type of case. Some matters are billed hourly, while others may involve flat fees, contingency fees, or hybrid hourly/contingent fees. We’re always transparent about costs and will provide a clear explanation before beginning any work.

Why should I hire a local attorney in Libertyville?
