Scott Ganassin represented me following an auto accident. After the accident I endured injuries and my vehicle was damaged, never being in an accident I really didn't know where to turn. I went to the hospital, my car was in need of repair and I started getting pressured by the other parties insurance company. I met with Scott and he helped my mind rest at ease, he discussed a comfortable process to ensure I was getting proper medical attention, and handled the whole process. Im very thankful Scott's attentiveness to my comfort and well being. He was successful in providing me an understanding of my rights and he recovered my losses. I highly recommend his services.

Scott represented me in my pursuit for a judgement in my workman's compensation case. From day one when I met with Scott he made me feel comfortable. He gave me his honest opinion about what he thought my potential was for a judgement in my favor. He ensured that I had all of the information I needed to make the best decision possible moving forward. Because of Scott and his staff's hard work and determination the award I received helped me and my family to live with the quality of life we have hoped for.

Scott handled my work compensation settlement case. He did gain a settlement for me. I was injured at work which resulted in a surgery and physical therapy and I could not work for approximately a year. A court order (approx. a year prior to the receipt of the funds) was granted. The order stated "no funds were to be distributed outside of the court". Scott, Timothy Gatza from Ottawa and myself all recieved a copy of the order. The order was filed by my ex husband -he was attempting to obtain some of the settlement . I had been under extreme financial duress-pressure. When the court order was in effect I phoned Scott concerning a lawsuit lending ad I had seen. It advertised that funds could be obtained in advance. Scott okayed the loans and did not advise me that I was violating the order. When the settlement arrived I picked up the check. Scott's firm paid the loans. Scott retained his fees. I accepted the check-no counsel given re: the order. I emailed Mr. Gatza that they were ready to settle. Email response from Tim had no mention of the order. After a good portion of the funds were spent Mr Gatza stated in an email "make sure you pay your ex husband something" which I did. My ex husband and his attorney filed an order of contempt. I was ruled by the Judge to be found guilty of indirect civil contempt of the order. I have accepted responsibility and I do acknowledge my own guilt in the contempt. I did have a copy of the order. I forgot the order was in place- as I believe Scott and Tim did as well. I do believe though that if I had been reminded just one time closer that this would have been in the forefront of my mind. Attorneys are educated in the law and they are officers of the court- they are bound by the same court order. Under the most basic of professional standards I believe I should have been advised by my attorneys. Scott did not attend the contempt hearing. Mr. Gatza, in my opinion-as well as the opinion of others did not represent me well. This opinion is held based upon the court transcripts. The Judge found me to be in indirect civil contempt based upon what was presented. However, I feel more accurately stated would be "or the lack thereof" of all facts that could have been presented. I was given 30 days to pay $5,000. or go to jail indefinitely until the funds were paid. I and my family paid the money and I did not go to jail. I found both the representation by Scott Ganassin and Mr Tim Gatza to be lacking and of no benefit to my life within the legal system. I have gained more ground "pro se" since September than prior with attorneys. Actually I feel that I was "thrown under the bus". When I did contact Scott about this situation he has never responded to my certified letter or email dated September 2014. Most Sincerely submitted, A.G.

During our recent medical malpractice investigation, Scott took the mountain of paperwork from our case and found the details that mattered. All of this with quick response times and a friendly attitude. Would absolutely work with him again.

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Peru, Illinois?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
