About
ChicagoLawyer.co offers plain-English information about common legal questions in Chicago and Cook County, and a simple way to ask a Chicago attorney to review your situation.
Who reviews your inquiry
Every inquiry submitted through this website is reviewed by Henry Dog, an attorney licensed in Illinois, of Law Office of Henry Dog, [Office street address], Chicago, IL [ZIP]. The attorney is responsible for the content of this website, which is attorney advertising.
[Add a short, factual bio: year admitted to the Illinois bar, ARDC registration, office location, and the types of matters the attorney actually handles. Avoid words like 'expert', 'specialist', or 'best', and do not describe past results.]
You can confirm any Illinois lawyer's license status and disciplinary history through the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) lawyer search at iardc.org.
What this website is, and is not
- It is attorney advertising for one Chicago attorney, plus a library of general legal information.
- It is not a lawyer referral service or a network of lawyers. Inquiries are not sold, auctioned, or distributed to other lawyers.
- It is not legal advice. Articles describe general rules and may not apply to your situation.
- It does not create an attorney-client relationship. That happens only through a signed engagement agreement.
If your matter is outside the types of cases the attorney handles, you will be told so. You may wish to contact the Chicago Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service, the Illinois State Bar Association, or a legal aid organization such as those listed at illinoislegalaid.org.
Who runs the website
The website is operated by Ward M, who manages its design, hosting, and technology. The site operator does not provide legal services and does not receive any payment for recommending the attorney or for any inquiry.
How our articles are written
Articles are written to explain how Chicago and Illinois laws generally work, citing the statute or ordinance where possible. We aim to be accurate and current, but laws, court procedures, and figures such as minimum wage rates change. Each article shows the date it was last updated, and where a figure changes regularly we point you to the official source rather than repeating a number that may be out of date.
