The Law Offices of Steven H. Mevorah was formed over 25 years ago with the vision of creating a small size law firm in a western suburb of Chicago, serving primarily the western and northwestern suburbs. Our offices are located so that clients can visit their attorney and receive excellent quality legal services close to where they live and work, without having to go to downtown Chicago for quality legal representation. What sets the firm apart is its focus on specialized areas of law within a general practice setting. Our attorneys concentrate in certain areas and clients can count on receiving services from the attorney who is best suited to meet their specific needs. Whether a client is in need of legal services for representation with regard to divorce, child custody or other family law issues, personal injury, worker's compensation, Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, Criminal Traffic, Immigration and Naturalization Services, Probate, Real Estate Closings. We are fully staffed to handle all of these matters. Frequently, areas of law overlap and the structure of our firm guarantees that our clients have access to the lawyer or group of lawyers that are best able to meet their individualized needs.

Our lawyers have over 100 years of combined experience representing clients before judges and juries. We are tough, aggressive, and move cases toward resolution whether through trial, settlement, or alternative resolution. We understand how to work within the justice system and use its rules and procedures for our clients' best advantage. Our years of experience and tough-minded advocacy on behalf of our clients frequently enables us to reach a timely and successful resolution with opposing lawyers through negotiation and settlement. But, we will not hesitate to proceed to a jury verdict when it is in the best interest of a client.

As a client-centered law firm, we offer free consultations, flexible hours including evening appointments until 8:00 pm (Monday through Friday) and Saturday hours, and we accept all major credit cards. We are available in emergency situations and our lawyers are available to meet with clients in hospitals, nursing homes, or in their homes. We are also able to meet the needs of the Spanish-speaking community.

Satisfied clients are our greatest source of new clients and cases. We look forward to demonstrating our skill, integrity, and compassion should you ever need legal advice.

DUIs-In today's society, a vehicle is a necessity. Our goal is to protect your right to own and operate a vehicle. Our first line of defense is to challenge the reason that you were stopped. There are bad stops! There are many things that you need to do before appearing in front of a judge. We know what these things are and we strongly urge you to move quickly and contact us if you have been arrested or cited for a traffic offense. If it is your first arrest, our goal is make sure that you can continue driving. For second offenses, the goal is often to keep you out of jail and able to continue providing for your family. We will get you the best shot at being able to continue driving and avoiding jail time. But you must move quickly. Many law firms react on behalf of their clients to situations as they arise. That is not our way of practicing law. We have earned a reputation for anticipating each step of the legal process and informing our clients of what will be happening next, when it will happen, and how we will proceed. From the time the legal process begins, we help our clients take charge of the situation and prepare for the next proceeding. Both opposing lawyers and judges throughout Illinois know that we are always prepared when we walk through the courthouse door.

Bankruptcy Our firm represents individuals and commercial clients in Chapter 7, 11, and 13 bankruptcy proceedings, at both the state and federal level, that are initiated by either an insolvent individual, or business, or creditors seeking to have the debtor's remaining assets distributed among the creditors and, thereby, discharging the debtor from further obligation or restructuring and reorganizing the insolvent's debt structure.
