Real Estate is part of the American Dream. Almost everyone wants to own a home someday and many people like to invest in real estate because, despite the ups and downs of the past decade, it is still one of the most valuable and appreciable assets one can hold.

More Drivers Services InformationI have been practicing in the areas of real estate and estate planning law since 1996. As a real estate attorney, I spend most of my time in client consultation, negotiations, conflict resolution and preparation of documents for closing. At closing, I review title, financing and settlement documents to assure a smooth transfer of property. As an estate planning attorney, I assist clients in determining how their assets will be distributed after death and who will have the authority to oversee their care should they become unable to manage their own affairs. In 2007, I began offering representation to clients in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction who, having lost their driving privileges in DUI cases, seek driving relief from the Illinois Secretary of State.I believe that attorneys have an obligation to ensure that all people have access to legal representation and assistance. To that end, I establish reasonable, flat fee rates and I participate in programs to offer reduced cost or free legal assistance to those who are unable to afford representation. In May of 2011, I was honored as a Dekalb County Friend of the Court for assistance to drug/dui court clients in conjunction with the DeKalb County Public Defender's office as a part of the DeKalb County drug/dui court program. In May of 2018, The Family Defense Center presented me with an award for Outstanding Pro Bono Attorney for my work with their pro bono clients in DCFS expungement appeal matters.
Back to the topReal Estate is part of the American Dream. Almost everyone wants to own a home someday and many people like to invest in real estate because, despite the ups and downs of the past decade, it is still one of the most valuable and appreciable assets one can hold. Market fluctuations may come and go but real estate is unique and precious, in that, there is only so much of it to go around and more of it cannot be made.
When you are considering a home purchase or planning to sell your home, the process can be daunting. You will want someone representing you who knows the process inside and out and can assist you with every detail of a home purchase or sale transaction, from the beginning to the closing and beyond, if needed.
Keep in mind that no one can dictate to you who should represent your legal interests in a real estate transaction. If you are told that you must use a specific attorney when you start the process of selling or buying, you are being misinformed. You always have a choice in who your attorney will be for your real estate transaction and you are also entitled to know exactly what the attorney's fee will be from the time you submit or accept an offer.
My office will charge one low flat rate fee and will assist you with negotiating home-inspection and attorney-review issues, keeping the mortgage financing moving forward, working out logistics of your move and coordinating closing with your move, final 'walk-thru' issues and the closing itself. I have dealt with hundreds of complications, unexpected issues and potential road-blocks that can arise during a typical transaction and am able to help you smoothly navigate thru it all.

The Illinois Secretary of State has a complicated and difficult process for obtaining a license reinstatement. As your attorney, I will establish the status of your driving privileges and your eligibility for relief and then guide you through the entire process of obtaining hardship driving relief and getting your driving privileges fully reinstated.
'Too much partying can lead to serious consequences if you don't use your head'
The signs are everywhere these days:
Sadly, for many people, it's already too late. A poor decision has been made, maybe even more than once, and now the consequences are keeping you from legally driving and it's making your life (and possibly even someone else's) very difficult. Don't make a bad decision worse by driving on a suspended or revoked license.
It may seem as if obtaining driving relief or getting your license reinstated is impossible; but, with knowledgeable, competent legal representation, people who thought their case was hopeless have been able to legally get behind the wheel again.
