Niles, IL estates & probate attorney Dana Zivkovich talks about what makes her firm different and what you should look for in hiring an attorney. She notes that what distinguishes her firm from others is its unwavering focus on detail. Many clients have noted that she asks questions they have never been asked before and brings to light considerations that had not been raised by other attorneys. This careful attention to detail consistently stands out and is highly valued, as clients often remark that prior legal counsel had overlooked these important aspects.

She also emphasizes the importance of building a genuine connection when hiring a lawyer. Clients should feel at ease, understand the explanations being provided, and feel confident asking questions and receiving clear, straightforward answers. This sense of comfort and trust is vital, as the lawyer will be guiding them through complex processes. She believes that if a client does not feel confident or comfortable from the outset, the relationship is unlikely to improve over time—making it essential to establish clarity and trust right from the beginning.
