About Adam
Biography
Our Illinois based law firm is founded on the basic principle that it is the careful application of your specific circumstances to the relevant laws that allows us to determine the most practical, efficient, and ethical way of resolving your legal issues. It is because of this philosophy that over 90% of our business is built on referrals.
Good legal representation comes not only from technical competence, but also from dedicated service to others. Each year we dedicate time to community service, public issues, and volunteer legal work. We work hard to improve the quality of life for our clients, our community and our families.
Our areas of practice are focused on civil litigation, real estate law, international trade law, business law, construction law, lender services, insurance law, lending services and mortgages, criminal, estate planning, bankruptcy, and other related fields. While most of our representation is based in Chicago-land circuit and federal courts, we frequently handle matters in district courts in locations such as Skokie, Rolling Meadows, Maywood, along with numerous DuPage County and Lake County courts.
With Polish and Spanish speaking associates, we have represented not only our local community, but also international and out of state clients with the assistance of local counsel as needed. Should your legal needs fall outside the scope of our expertise, our office works with a network of experienced attorneys who are available to assist you.
In most legal cases, a delayed reaction or improper disclosure of information can lead to additional difficulties. We strongly recommend you discuss your legal matters with an attorney, prior to taking action or providing information that can potentially be used against you. While this is not uniform for all cases, we believe it is always better to invest in preparation prior to execution.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. We look forward to addressing your legal needs in the near future.
