    Common Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Personal Injury

    If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence — like a car accident, unsafe property, or another preventable situation — you may have a claim. The best way to know is to have your case reviewed.

    It depends on factors like medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and the long-term impact of your injuries. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

    Get medical attention right away, document what you can, and avoid giving detailed statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney.

    In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury. Waiting too long can result in losing your right to recover compensation.

    Most personal injury cases settle before trial. However, being prepared to go to court can strengthen your position during negotiations.

    You may still be able to recover compensation under Illinois’ comparative fault rules, though your recovery may be reduced based on your share of responsibility.

    Most cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless compensation is recovered.

    Estate Planning

    Yes. A will is not about how much you own — it’s about making sure your wishes are followed. Without one, Illinois law decides who receives your assets, which can create unnecessary stress and conflict for your family.

    The estate goes through intestate succession, meaning the court distributes assets based on state law. This process can delay access to assets and may not reflect what the person actually wanted.

    Probate is the legal process of settling an estate, including paying debts and distributing assets. Not every estate requires probate — some assets can pass outside of it depending on how they are titled.

    Most probate cases take several months to over a year. The timeline depends on the size of the estate, whether there are disputes, and how organized the estate is.
    In many cases, yes. Tools like trusts, payable-on-death accounts, and proper beneficiary designations can help avoid probate or simplify the process.
    A will outlines your wishes after death and typically goes through probate. A trust can manage assets during your lifetime and allow them to pass to beneficiaries without probate.
    You should review your plan after major life events like marriage, divorce, having children, or significant financial changes.

    Family Law

    Even in amicable situations, having an attorney helps ensure your agreement is properly drafted and legally enforceable.

    Illinois follows equitable distribution, meaning property is divided fairly — but not necessarily equally — based on several factors.

    Legal custody (decision-making responsibility) refers to major decisions about the child’s life. Parenting time refers to the schedule of when each parent is with the child.

    Illinois uses an income shares model that considers both parents’ incomes and the amount of parenting time each has.

    Yes, if there has been a significant change in circumstances and the modification is in the child’s best interests.

    It can range from a few months to over a year depending on whether the case is contested and how complex the issues are.

    The court has procedures in place to move cases forward even when one party is unresponsive or difficult.
