Are you starting a business and not sure what business structure to use. Get sound advice about whether an LLC, partnership or Sub-S corporation would be best for you. Are you a corporate owner? Make sure your business maintains it's corporate status by getting sound advice on annual meetings and corporate minutes. Let us create and maintain the business so you can spend more time marketing it. CIVIL ACTIONS

Contact us to find out your rights under a contract. Are you owed money? Call if you need assistance with a small claims matter with little or no cost to you. Are your borrowers delinquent of their loans. Call us for sound advice about whether foreclosures, deeds in lieu of foreclosure, or short sales would be the best route for you. FAMILY LAW

Don't take a dissolution or custody proceeding on by yourself. Your property and children are too important to risk loosing to mere ignorance. There is a lot of strategy that goes into the preparation of these types of proceedings. Contact us to get competent advice about the complication(s) and implication(s) of the situation staring at you. EQUESTRIAN LAW

Were you involved with a horse accident? Was your horse hurt by inadequate veterinarian or farrier services? Find out your rights under the Illinois Equine Activity Liability Act. Call an attorney who has been involved in the equestrian industry for nearly 30 years and can truly relate to your situation. Call an attorney who can provide you sound legal advice based on experience. There is no charge at Ge**er Law for an initial hour consultation. We understand you have a choice to retain counsel and feel it is inappropriate to charge you until that choice is made. For most areas of legal practice, including probate and estate administration, civil litigation, family law and equestrian law, clients are billed at an hourly rate. All fees will be disclosed during the legal consultation. In some cases, clients will be required to post a retainer before legal representation begins. Total legal fees will ultimately be based on the complexity of the litigation. FEE

A flat fee is charged for basic real estate closings, basic estate plans, and business/corporate creations. Ge**er Law reserves the right to change the rate depending on the type and complexity of the legal matter.

Good luck to all the guys competing at the IHSA State Wrestling tournament today. The staff will be out this afternoon cheering on all the kids. I will be back at in the morning after a hectic and productive few days.

Teachers -- The TRO was denied on "due process" related arguments in which the Judge indicated because Pritzker redefined the word "quarantine" after the complaint was filed, the removal of teachers from their occupation did not fit within the confines of 2(c), 2(d), or 2(e) of the Department of Public Health for purposes of enforcement. This is merely a preliminary issue because the complaint will get amended for Seperation of Power issues given what the government continues to try to do. We will address the Healthcare Right of Conciencse Act with the Court as a seperate count momentarily.

Teachers — Arguments went well today. Given the complexity of legal authority submitted to the court by the attorney general and my office, along with precedent that comes with the ruling, the Judge asked for 24 hours to submit a written ruling that we will have by close of business tomorrow. I will keep you all updated.
