The Practice…What does it mean when lawyers say they “practice” law; often limiting that “practice” to one or two areas of the law? Shouldn’t they know the law? Why do they need to practice?

The Law is actually a beautiful, ever changing system. The legislatures, at both the state and federal levels, are always reviewing and changing our laws. Our Courts change our laws when they sometimes make a decision not to follow a law because, for one reason or another, they feel a certain set of facts do not fully fit into any written law. Sometimes, when this happens, a case ends up being appealed; at times going through the State Appellate Courts then to the State Supreme Court and, on occasion, all the way to the United States Supreme Court, where a law can actually be changed or a new rule made as a result of their ruling. This process is inevitable because we humans are transforming everyday – we’re growing and evolving and developing our societies as we change.

In order to keep up in our ever-evolving society, attorneys have to practice their art everyday, continually take more legal education courses, and most important of all, genuinely care. At our firm, we all add to our knowledge every day and we pool our knowledge. All of our attorneys have been practicing between fourteen (14) and thirty (30) years. We are extremely well-versed in all the laws in our practice areas as well as many others and are integrated into all the courts in the Chicagoland area, both state and federal. We are practiced in the Appellate and Supreme Courts both state and federal; but most important, we have serviced and developed relationships with thousands of Clients who have experienced, and have testified about our outstanding service and genuine care.

Our firm’s practice is focused in four areas of law: Family Law, Criminal Law, Injury Law, and Business Law. However, with our combined knowledge and past experiences we have been enormously successful in handling many other matters for our clients.

Contact us if you have any questions or if you would like to set an appointment. We know you will be pleased with our services.
