How to Get Started

The best way to start the process is to call us at (630) 852-2529 and schedule a free initial consultation with one of our estate planning attorneys. Our overarching goals in this initial meeting are to learn your estate planning objectives, explain your options to meet those objections, and to help you feel confident and comfortable when making decisions about how your plan is designed.

Prior to the initial consultation, we ask that you complete our Estate Planning Questionnaire, and send it to us along with a copy of any existing estate planning documents. The attorney will review this information in preparation for the meeting.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call us. We look forward to working with you.
