Steady counsel for the decisions that carry weight.
Harwick & Associates advises business owners, families, and property holders across Illinois. We explain where you stand, what your options are, and what each one will cost before you commit to any of them.
Four practices, one firm
Legal problems rarely stay in one lane. A business sale touches real estate, and an estate plan touches the business. Our attorneys work across all four areas so nothing falls between them.
-
Business and corporate
Entity formation, operating agreements, contracts, and the purchase or sale of a company.
-
Real estate
Commercial leases, residential and commercial closings, zoning questions, and title disputes.
-
Estate planning and probate
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and guiding families through estate administration.
-
Civil litigation
Contract disputes, partnership breakups, and property claims, in negotiation or in court.
How we work with clients
Most people call a lawyer on a bad day. We try to make the days after that easier, and it starts with three commitments we make to every client.
- You talk to your attorney Calls and emails are returned within one business day by the lawyer handling your matter.
- You know the fee up front Every engagement begins with a written estimate, and we tell you before the number changes.
- You get advice in plain language We give you a recommendation and the reasoning behind it, without the Latin.
