What types of disputes do you handle?
We focus on disputes in the same areas we handle transactionally: real estate, estates, and business law. This means our attorneys bring subject-matter knowledge in addition to courtroom skill. Whether it’s a contract breach or a contested will, we combine legal expertise with strategic representation. Clients trust us to handle matters that directly affect their property, businesses, and families.
Will you try to resolve my case outside of court?
Yes. We pursue negotiation and mediation whenever possible to save clients the time, expense, and stress of trial. However, we prepare each case thoroughly in case court becomes necessary. This approach strengthens your position even during settlement talks. If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to litigate.
What is the civil litigation process like?
Litigation usually begins with a case evaluation and, if necessary, the filing or response to a complaint. The process continues with discovery, including depositions and document exchange, followed by motions and settlement discussions. If unresolved, the case moves to trial, where we advocate aggressively for your interests. Throughout, we maintain clear communication so you always know where your case stands.
How do you prepare clients for litigation?
We make sure clients understand each stage of the process, what’s required of them, and what possible outcomes may look like. Preparation includes reviewing documents, gathering evidence, and developing a legal strategy tailored to the client’s goals. We also explain costs and timelines so clients can make informed decisions. Our goal is to reduce uncertainty and help clients feel confident going into litigation.
Do you represent both individuals and businesses?
Yes, our civil litigation practice includes individuals, families, and companies throughout Cook County and the northwest suburbs. From homeowners involved in property disputes to businesses facing contract issues, we represent a broad range of clients. Each case is handled with the same focus: protecting rights and achieving the best outcome possible.
