No matter what your legal problem involves, you can expect individualized and responsive client service from a seasoned attorney. Our clients value our firm’s efficiency, professionalism and versatility. Because we can cover such a wide range of legal issues, many of our Lake County, McHenry County and northside Cook County clients call us years later for help with a problem entirely unrelated to the one they first brought us.

A common thread in our practice is our commitment to effective trial advocacy in both civil and criminal matters. The ability to present a claim or defense persuasively in court not only protects your interests when a contested matter goes to trial, it can also give you the bargaining leverage you need to resolve the issue on favorable terms beforehand.

Our versatility also adds value for our clients through our ability to anticipate and resolve problems that cross lines across legal disciplines: Will a bankruptcy have an effect on a divorce? How will a guilty plea affect a professional license? How do you sell vacation property out of a decedent’s estate? Our ability to look beyond the immediate problem to protect a broader range of interests represents a particular strength of our firm’s practice.
