Attorneys in Illinois are easy to find. There are thousands of lawyers across the state and in examining law practice choices from big cities to small towns, a quick Google search would reveal many, many options for legal representation. With so many available attorneys, it would seem making the decision about an attorney that is right for you would be somewhat easy. On the contrary, however, as the ability to identify the right Illinois attorney lies in one’s capacity to evaluate a few essential character traits and a few vital professional capabilities.
If you are on the hunt for an attorney, you’ve probably been told by co-workers or friends that they “know a good lawyer”, but what works for one person may be a terrible fit for another. Deciding on an attorney that is right for you or your family means taking a hard look at your personal goals as well as your personality traits and determining if that particular counsel is a good fit. Some of the most important qualities to look for in an Illinois lawyer include:
- Accessibility – you should be able to reach your lawyer when you need them
- Communication – be sure the lawyer you choose clearly explains each step of the process and carefully listens to your concerns
- Analytical – an attorney must have the ability to analyze options and choose the best path
- Personable – you should feel comfortable to be open and honest with your legal representation
- Creative – attorneys must utilize creativity in problem solving
- Experience – look for a lawyer who has ample experience, particularly in your specific law practice area of interest
- Reputation – choose an attorney who is well respected in their field and amongst the community
