Frequently Asked Questions
I live in Hoffman Estates. How do I know which county my case will be in?
The correct jurisdiction is determined by your residential address for matters like divorce, or where an incident occurred for personal injury claims. During our initial consultation, we will verify the correct county and courthouse for your specific case, ensuring it is filed properly from the very beginning.
Does it really matter which courthouse my case is in?
Yes, absolutely. While Illinois state law is consistent, the local court rules, procedures, and even the personalities of the judges can differ significantly between the Rolling Meadows (Cook County) and Geneva (Kane County) courthouses. Having an attorney with deep experience in the correct venue is crucial for success.
