While a lawyer fresh out of law school could likely review an employment contract, if you are looking for an Illinois overtime attorney you need someone that has years of experience and understands how to evaluate and pursue overtime cases. There are limits and exemptions to the overtime laws and an experienced lawyer will be knowledgeable of these specifics. We know who the most experienced and successful lawyers are for overtime lawsuits in Illinois. These attorneys also do a great job in evaluating whether or not you even have a case so you don’t waste your time pursuing something that isn’t legitimate. The following are other characteristics that we think are possessed by the Illinois overtime lawyers that we recommend:
- They have at least ten years experience in handling overtime cases.
- Their firm has a track record of success measured in results on previous overtime cases.
- They only pursue legitimate cases and will explain to you why you have a case or in the alternative why you don’t have a case.
- They consider the best needs of their clients when making decisions or recommendations.
- They treat their clients with respect and promptly return all phone calls.
- They keep their clients up to date on all important developments in a case.
- They are willing to work on a contingency basis if the case merits it. That means that they don’t get paid unless they are successful and you as a client don’t have to spend up front money on lawyer fees.
These are just some of the traits that we look for before we recommend an overtime attorney or law firm in Illinois.
