Lombard · DuPage County, Illinois
Estate planning, probate, real estate, and criminal defense for families and businesses across DuPage County, from the same firm since 1990.

We serve Lombard across estate planning, probate, real estate, and criminal and traffic defense, with one attorney handling your matter throughout.

Lombard has grown and changed over the years, drawing new families while longtime residents stay put, and both groups want the same thing from a lawyer: someone local, accessible, and able to handle whatever comes up without a runaround. We built the firm around exactly that. Estate planning, real estate, probate, and criminal defense are all handled here, so a Lombard family has one number to call as different needs arise — and reaches an attorney, not a phone tree.
There is also real value in a firm that knows the DuPage County system — the courts in Wheaton, the recorder’s office, the local practices that shape how matters move. We bring that familiarity to every Lombard case, set honest expectations, and quote clear pricing up front. The goal is simple: be the dependable local firm Lombard residents turn to first, for the legal matters that come up across a lifetime.

Most consultations happen by phone or video, with office visits only when documents need to be signed or strategy requires it. We accommodate Lombard clients however works best, including evening or weekend appointments when needed.

Yes, we appear regularly in DuPage County (Wheaton) and Cook County courts. Lombard-related cases are heard in the appropriate county courthouse. We handle the court appearances for you in most matters.
Most documents can be signed remotely using Illinois-recognized e-signature processes. Real estate closings often happen at title companies (in-person or remote). We adapt to client needs.
That is exactly how many Lombard clients use us. As a general-practice firm, we handle estate planning, probate, real estate, and criminal and traffic defense, so you have one firm to return to as life brings new matters — a home purchase, a will, a parent’s estate, a defense when you need one. Working with the same attorney over time means continuity and far less starting over.
Lombard is in DuPage County, so probate and most local court cases go through the DuPage County system based in Wheaton, and property transfers record with the DuPage County Recorder. We practice across these courts and offices regularly, which lets us move your matter efficiently and tell you realistically what to expect at each step.
Whether you’re planning ahead or facing a current legal matter, the first conversation is free. Let’s talk.
