I regularly represent clients in Kane, Kendall, DuPage, WIll , and DeKalb Counties. On occasion, I have been retained under special circumstances to represent out of state clients in special, high profile or hotly contested matters.
I have extensive trial experience, and am wllling to aggressively advocate for you, all the way to a trial , if you so choose.
My strengths are as a communicator, strategist, and advocate, I discuss issues with my clients thoroughly, and actively listen to their desires and goals. I feel that good and frequent communication is one of the keys to success in court and to client satisfaction. I will use my experience to evaluate your case and lay out strategies for success.
