Danya was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional, courteous, and had the expertise and knowledge to review our lease and franchise agreements. She gave great insight and recommendations on how we can protect ourselves and our business and to ensure the agreements were fair for both parties.

FAQ

If you are a business owner and you are dealing with a business legal matter, you will want an attorney on your side who fully understands Illinois business law.  This is the best way to ensure that your business remains protected.  Not having a business law attorney on your side can result in unnecessary disputes, lost time and money, and maybe even the death of your business.  Taking the right legal steps while operating your business is the best way to protect it long-term.

When we do consultations, we are taking away time from paying clients. In order to for all involved to have skin in the game, we need to ensure that potential clients are serious about improving their businesses and their lives, via our legal services.

We’re committed to being different.  What does this mean for you?  Quick responses to your questions, the ability to clearly understand your legal options, expedient delivery of services, and having a legal advocate on your side who is committed to making sure both you and your business remain protected.
