Questions & Answers

How did you build a successful practice?

Our primary source of business is client referrals.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Straight forward answers; Not just saying what one wants to hear; If it sounds too good to be true - it is.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

I have a lot of experience in DuPage, Will, Cook and Kendall County. I know the nuances of different judges, how to present to those judges and what issues are their "trigger" issues, which is very beneficial to a client. I also know the opposing counsel well. I know the attorneys that are afraid of trial or do whatever they can to avoid it. This is great leverage.
