Since 2001 Findgreatlawyers.com has been the leading internet resource to find Illinois lawyers and Illinois legal information

Since 2001, findgreatlayers.com has been the leading resource for Illinois attorney referrals and legal guidance for all areas of Illinois law including commercial litigation. If you would like our help please contact us at (312) 346-5320. We are based in Chicago, but aren’t a service just for Cook County commercial litigation lawyers. Rather we recommend attorneys everywhere in Illinois. For information on what we think makes a great Illinois commercial litigation attorney please read on.

People contact us to find Illinois lawyers for commercial litigation, as well as other areas of Illinois law. When we recommend an attorney, we try to suggest someone who focuses their practice on one specific area of law. This is especially important when we recommend commercial litigation attorneys, as commercial litigation can be complex. You need a lawyer who will diligently represent you through all phases of litigation and be willing to go to trial, if needed, in order to get you the best result. You don’t want to hire an attorney who is getting their feet wet in this area of law by handling your case. There are of course exceptions, but that is our general rule of thumb.

Whether you are being sued, or think you might have a case, the first step is to contact a lawyer who can help you make sense of it all. We only recommend commercial litigation attorneys who are knowledgeable, respectful and committed to working hard for their clients.

If we recommend a law firm to you it is our philosophy that we will not make that recommendation unless we would also suggest the same law firm to a family member or friend. Here are some specific characteristics we look for in any Illinois commercial litigation attorney that we recommend:

1. They have experience representing individuals or businesses in your same situation.
2. They have successful track records in settlement and trial.
3. They have at least five years experience in taking cases to trial and for cases with a value of over $100,000.00 more than ten years of experience.
4. They understand that litigation is not just business – it’s personal, as well, but they are also able to separate the emotional issues when advising a client.
5. They keep their clients informed during all phases of litigation, returning phones calls and e-mails promptly.
6. They listen to their clients and include their clients in all decision-making and strategizing.
7. They fight for their clients and aren’t afraid to take a case to trial if needed.

These are just some of the things we consider when recommending a commercial litigation lawyer or law firm in Illinois. None of this guarantees a result, but in making attorney referrals since 2001 we have found this to be a very good predictor of success.

Remember, there is no such thing as the "best lawyer" in Illinois, but rather you should seek out the best attorney for your needs. That is why people turn to us.
