General Trial Attorney

General trial attorneys handle cases that involve any kind of dispute between two or more parties. When those involved in the dispute cannot reach an agreement, the only way to resolve it is to involve a neutral third party—whether that’s a judge, jury, arbitration panel, review board, mediator, or another form of decision-maker.

If your case requires the intervention of a third party to resolve, you need a trial lawyer. That’s where we come in. Many of our referrals come from other attorneys who believe their client should accept an offer, but the client is determined not to. While there may be valid reasons to settle, at The Gloria Law Group, we don’t pressure you into accepting anything you don’t want. Our job is to advocate for you and take your case to trial.

A skilled trial lawyer understands that the specific details of the dispute are secondary to crafting a compelling and persuasive presentation. Anyone can learn the facts and rules, but only seasoned trial attorneys know how to weave them together in a way that resonates with the decision-making authority, whether it’s a judge, jury, or panel.

As a result, our attorneys often step in to handle cases that are already set for trial with no continuances left or with limited notice. If you find yourself in this position, don’t hesitate to call us immediately at 224-252-1889—our team is available 24/7 to assist you.

What sets us apart is that, as true trial attorneys, we are ready to take your case to trial, anytime, anywhere, and for any situation. Some examples of where we've stepped in as emergency trial counsel include:

• Foreclosures (typically representing homeowners)
• Landlord/Tenant disputes (especially representing tenants in eviction cases)
• Civil cases set for arbitration (such as one party suing another)
• Long-settled divorces where mediation and pre-trials have failed to produce an agreement
• And many others

If you’re exhausted from trying to find common ground and feel like you're spending more time negotiating than you would have if you had just tried the case, reach out to us. We’ll develop a "trial plan" during our 1-hour consultation. If you retain our services, we’ll waive the $300 consultation fee. For more information on our fees, please refer to our prices page.
