Choosing a law firm in Arlington Heights

Before signing anything, verify the lawyer's registration status through the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission — every attorney practicing in Illinois must be registered with the ARDC, and its record shows any public discipline.

Ask how many cases like yours the firm has handled for northwest suburban clients, and who will actually manage your file day to day. Clarify billing up front — contingency, hourly or flat fee — and get the arrangement in writing before work begins.
