Where is the Glen Ellyn office located?

Why would I need both estate planning and a disability attorney?
A serious disability often prompts people to revisit their estate plan to ensure their assets, healthcare decisions, and family are protected. Having an attorney who handles both areas can make that process more streamlined.
Does the firm assist with real estate transactions in DuPage County?
Yes. In addition to disability and estate planning work, the firm handles real estate legal matters, which can be especially relevant for clients who are buying, selling, or transferring property as part of a broader life or financial change.
How does the contingency fee structure work for Social Security disability cases?
For Social Security disability cases, attorneys are typically paid only if you win, with the fee coming from a portion of your back pay award as set by federal guidelines. You can ask about the specific fee arrangement during your initial consultation.
