Information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only and is not individualised legal advice. Chicago Legal Connections is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation. Submitting an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not guarantee that an attorney will accept your matter. Legal deadlines may apply to your situation, and this website does not calculate them. Consult a licensed attorney about your individual circumstances.
1. General information only
Everything on this website is general information. It is not individualised legal advice and it cannot take account of the facts of your situation, which is exactly what matters most.
Two matters that look identical in a summary can have completely different answers because of a date, a jurisdiction, an insurance policy, or who the defendant turns out to be.
2. Not a law firm
Special Solutions, Ltd., trading as Chicago Legal Connections, is not a law firm and does not provide legal services, legal advice or legal representation. Legal services are provided by independently licensed attorneys and law firms.
3. No attorney-client relationship
Submitting an inquiry, uploading a document, calling us, emailing us, texting us, or speaking with an intake specialist or an investigator does not create an attorney-client relationship.
4. No privilege
Information you send to this website is not protected by attorney-client privilege. Privilege generally arises from a relationship with an attorney. Discuss the details of your matter with a licensed attorney.
This matters most in criminal matters, which is why our intake does not ask you to describe the facts of an alleged offence.
5. No guarantee of representation
We cannot promise that an attorney will accept your matter. Conflicts of interest, jurisdiction, capacity and the attorney's own judgment all bear on that decision, and it is theirs alone.
6. No guarantee of results
Nothing here predicts or promises an outcome. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
7. No deadline calculation
LEGAL DEADLINES CAN AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS. DO NOT RELY ON THIS WEBSITE TO CALCULATE A FILING DEADLINE.
Illinois limits the time available to pursue many claims, and those limits differ by claim type and circumstance. This website does not and will not calculate a deadline for you. If you think one may be close, speak to a licensed attorney promptly.
8. No endorsement of any attorney
Listing an attorney is not an endorsement, a recommendation, a certification of expertise, or a statement that they are better than anyone else. We do not rank participating attorneys.
You can and should verify any Illinois attorney's licence status, admission date and public disciplinary history directly with the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission.
9. The limits of investigative services
Investigators develop and document facts. They do not provide legal advice, do not assess the value of a claim, and do not replace an attorney. Investigative work is undertaken only when properly engaged for a specific matter.
10. Jurisdiction
This service is intended for legal matters arising in Illinois, principally in the Chicago metropolitan area. Nothing here should be taken as information about the law of any other state.
11. Advertising designation
[COUNSEL ITEM — pending. Whether this website, or particular pages of it, must carry a designation as advertising material under Illinois rules, and in what form, is for Illinois counsel to determine. A slot is reserved for it.]
