Illinois Lawyer Handling Will Contests
Representation of Individuals in Contested Wills and Estate Litigation

After the death of an individual, his or her estate must be distributed according to their wishes as expressed in their trust or will or according to the Illinois Intestate laws if there is no will. Sometimes, the loved ones of the deceased may argue over the terms of the trust or will or dispute how the estate is to be distributed. Legal assistance may be required to initiate or defend against any resulting litigation.

With over 30 years of legal experience, he is able to quickly analyze a situation and offer the solutions with the greatest likelihood of success. The Mission of The Homer Law Firm is to provide clients with competent, confidential, and ethical legal services at an affordable price.

Whether you have a simple or complex estate, our firm handles estate litigation and will contests with discretion and informed by experience. We represent estate litigation matters for administrators, beneficiaries, executors or other individuals involved with (or excluded from) the estate. We take the time to explain your options, working to ensure you understand the legal situation, the potential options and the likelihood of success. Our counsel allows you to make decisions based on fact and information, not emotion. We understand the emotional toll a contested will may have on an individual and the family. Our firm work to minimize that toll while seeking a solution to the matter. Whenever possible we attempt to defuse the emotions and resolve these cases out of court. And we have the experience to aggressively litigate if your case warrants such action.

Regular office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays and evening appointments are available on request.
