Areas of Practice

• DUI & Criminal Defense
  There are issues with DUI defense which are extremely time sensitive. If charged with Driving Under the Influence in Illinois, you must contact an attorney immediately after you are released so that steps may be taken to maximize your chance of retaining your driving privileges. We accept calls day and night for this purpose. Certain opportunities for challenging the prosecution’s case are lost within days, well before your first assigned court date.

• Personal Injury and Workman's Compensation
  Our focus is on maximizing your opportunity for recovery and your quality of life after you have been injured while at work or through no fault of your own. We can help you receive the maximum amount in a settlement, as well as as the medical care and support you'll need to recover. 

• Wills, Trusts & Estates     
  Our attorneys are knowledgeable about the  tax implications of the various ways property may be conveyed in Illinois. We will be happy to discuss ways in which you can take care of loved ones after you are gone while preventing the government from consuming  your savings.

• Divorce, Custody & Family Law
  The law in Illinois has recently changed  regarding how maintenance and child support are calculated. We will ensure that your rights are maximized while the best interest of the minor children remain paramount. Our approach is one of fairness and decency to opposing parties and that a difficult situation is not made worse.

• Real Estate Transactions  
  We are an independent law firm that represents only our clients’ interests. Other attorneys may receive business referrals from realtors or  mortgage brokers. These ongoing relationships can call into question the fiduciary duties which should run only to the client when conflicts of interest arise, as is sometimes the case. Do not let your realtor pick your lawyer. Hire your own attorney.

• License Reinstatement and Restricted Driving Permits
  The license reinstatement process is difficult  and  frustrating  for unrepresented persons. It is important that you have an experienced lawyer guiding you in your preparations for the hearing and the process of obtaining the necessary evaluations. We have relationships with evaluators and can frame your case in the most positive light to obtain the necessary risk level assessment.

•  Expungement and Record Sealing  
  Our staff is discreet and understands that people sometimes need a second chance. Our goal is to help you put your life back on track. Don't let past indiscretions exclude you from employment and other opportunities that may be affected by criminal convictions. An experienced attorney can help remove such red flags from your viewable record.

• Guardianships
  Illinois law requires that a determination of of incapacity be made by a court of law in order that a suitable concerned person may legally act on behalf of a disabled adult. We are experienced in navigating the various aspects of this necessary and emotional process. We also are aware that this duty often falls disproportiontely to family members who are not always able to absorb costly legal representation. We price our services accordingly.
