OUR ATTORNEY
Glenn R. Myers
Owner/Lead Counsel
Tel: 630-743-3319
When I tell people I’m a lawyer, the first question they usually ask is “What’s your specialty?” The best answer is that I practice “Real People” law. My practice addresses the problems that people have, rather than the law I like to practice. In the past helping my clients take has taken me from Landlord Tenant, Foreclosure, Probate, Wills, Contract disputes, Child custody and Support, Employment discrimination and many others.
My goal is to bridge the chasm between what the average person understands the law can do and what the law can actually do to help. Someone shouldn’t need to know to ask for an attorney with expertise in the Fair Debt Collection Act to get harassing calls from creditors to stop. Sometimes all you know is you have a problem, and you need someone else to tell you where there might be a solution, or in some cases where you should stop looking.
I try to keep my initial consultations ruthlessly honest, and I like for my clients to leave knowing 5 things:
-
How to better describe their problem. For example: I don’t see my kid enough to My former spouse is not complying with the terms of our joint custody agreement.
-
Whether the law can help and what the other options are. Mediation, talking, etc
-
What a legal action would cost. Financially, time, stress, relationship wise
-
Who to call. I don’t do everything legally, and quite frankly I don’t want to, so when I think a potential client will be better served with other counsel, I make that recommendation.
-
A basic plan for how to proceed.
Previous colleagues have joked that I am the holistic lawyer, and maybe that description isn’t too far off. I want my clients to be successful and happy long term and I try to make my law firm a part of that process.
