Facing a serious personal injury it can be frustrating & confusing without the right lawyer. We are approachable and want to make using the legal system as easy as possible for you. Many people from Elgin, Chicago, and the surrounding suburbs have called upon O’Connor Cadiz Accident and Injury Law. Let us help when you need a trusted lawyer for your personal injury case.
Small Law Firm in Elgin delivers personal, more intimate service
We will help you understand what is happening and then create a custom strategy to get you through it. Carol O’Connor Cadiz, the principal and owner of the firm, has been in practice since 1996. This experience brings case knowledge, skill, and compassion to her clients. Compared to the typical law firm, we do things quite differently than most.
Our clients agree that the main differentiator is how well people are treated here. At larger law firms, clients often get lost in the web of secretaries, paralegals, and red tape. It’s not their fault, it is just the nature of how the bigger firms tend to operate. Because we limit what types of cases we handle, we can keep things simple. This makes things easier for everyone.
We operate on a smaller scale, choosing to create close relationships with our clients and intimate knowledge of each case. This avoids the ‘cookie cutter approach’ often found at bigger law firms. At our boutique Elgin law firm, we purposefully do not take every case or client that walks in the door but are selective in what we handle. This ensures that every client receives very personalized service. We don’t have the big firm mentality that exists at some of the mid to large law firms where you are treated as just another case. Attorney Carol Cadiz is personally involved with every case right from the start to make sure that everyone is given the attention their case deserves. She looks forward to getting to know every client and all the nuances of their case.
A Law Firm that strives to delight
Calling a lawyer for the first time can be scary. What will the fees be? Will I feel pressured to hire this lawyer even if I am just trying to gather information? What if I don’t need a lawyer? Will it be an intimidating experience? What if I end up feeling even more overwhelmed than I do right now? What questions should I even be asking?
Relax.
Reaching out to a law firm can be a big step and we strive to not only make you feel comfortable but to delight you in the process. How? By helping you to feel in control by first educating you about your situation, giving you options, and hopefully earning your trust in the process. This enables you to make great decisions for yourself about whatever you are facing. If we think that you do not need a lawyer or that we are not the right fit, we will be honest and let you know. We limit our caseload and while we cannot promise that we will be able to accept your case, if we do take you on as a client, we will be fully committed.
Client Centered Elgin Law Firm helps put you in control
We believe that every successful case begins with helping you to understand what is happening so that you can gain greater control over the situation. You have come to the right place, whether you just want information or you are looking for more immediate help. Carol O’Connor Cadiz has authored several books and legal guides to better help people understand the legal process.
In the late 1990s, attorney Carol Cadiz worked at a plaintiff’s personal injury firm in Skokie, obtaining good and fair results for injured clients who were hurt in car accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian and passenger accidents, slip and fall cases, etc. She and a partner later opened a general practice law firm, A. Traub and Cadiz, in Lombard IL before opening her own law firm. She is excited to be back assisting seriously injured clients.
By concentrating our practice on personal injury law, we do what we do very well. If you need other legal services, we can probably point you in the right direction and if possible, recommend someone who we trust. Having practiced law in the community for over 20 years, we’ve made plenty of contacts in the legal community and have a legal referral network in most areas.
