Divorce & Child Custody
When a marriage ends, the split can be both complicated and fraught with emotion. Our Skokie divorce lawyers understand how to negotiate alimony, child support and custody and we also understand how to take the most stressful work off of your plate and into our office. We treat every client as an individual and take our role as an advocate and a counselor very seriously.
Business
Our firm believes that starting a business is one of the greatest accomplishments in person’s life. After years of complaining about the boss, starting a company means that you are the boss. But starting a business means a lot more than doing good work, that’s the easy part. Starting a business means bringing in customers, handling that customer’s needs from the initial order until final delivery and then collecting on whatever your customer owes. And while all of this is going on, business owners have to keep the lights on, the employees happy and the competitors guessing.
All of this carries a host of legal issues including basic incorporation, contracts, intellectual property, employment and finance law, which is where our Skokie business lawyers can help. Good business practices require a solid set of contracts including agreements with vendors, customers and employees, and bylaws or membership agreements for co-owners to know exactly where they stand. And no matter hard a business owner may try, eventually everyone gets threatened with a lawsuit. The important thing is to make sure that before problems start, your business has laid the groundwork to protect everyone’s best interests.
Litigation
The Courts often provide the last, best hope for relief in business or personal disputes. Schneider & Stone handle all manner of commercial claims on behalf of landlords, tenants, contractors and small businesses. Our attorneys will aggressively advocate for you in civil court or in an administrative hearing. We will also do everything we can to keep your legal fees under control by helping you make smart decisions about the litigation strategy that works best for your case.
Estate Planning
There is nothing more important than the security of your family and your finances. The best way to insure that both are safe is to consider the future. It is difficult to think about the inevitable, but careful planning now can insure that your loved ones are provided for in the most beneficial way possible.
