The event last week was such a success! More than 80 tickets sold, a room full of local business owners, professionals, friends and neighbors, and a chance to raise money for an organization doing important work in our community.

One of the things I’ve loved most about building the firm has been building relationships with other people who care about the communities they serve. And for me, that community involvement ties directly back to why I became a lawyer in the first place.

Civil rights work has always been at the heart of what I do—standing up for people, advocating for those who need a voice, and hopefully leaving my little corner of the world better than I found it.

It turns out you can do some good, build some great relationships, and have a pretty good time doing it. ❤️

We had such a great turnout at our last DuPage PADS fundraiser in Wheaton that we’re doing it again! This time- downtown Glen Ellyn.

I’m honored to be supporting this incredible organization and the important work they do for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in our community. On any given night, more than half a million people in the United States experience homelessness.

If you’re looking for a great way to give back while enjoying a fun event, we’d love to have you join us. Every ticket, donation, and share helps make a real difference.

I hope to see many familiar faces—and some new ones too! Together, we can make an even greater impact for DuPage PADS. ❤️

Had a great dinner with part of the Bakos Law team last night.

I’m incredibly thankful for each person who has been part of this journey. Whether you’ve been here for years, just joined us, or are spending part of your career with us, you’ve each contributed something valuable to our firm.

Thank you for the care you show our clients, the hard work you put in every day, and for helping us continue to grow. It’s exciting to see where we’re headed, and I’m grateful to have such wonderful people along for the ride.

You own a home. Maybe a vacation property. Retirement accounts. Savings you’ve spent a lifetime building.

In Illinois, all of it could be headed to probate court. Here, it becomes public, frozen, and expensive to untangle.

A Revocable Living Trust means your family gets what you intended, when you intended, without a courtroom in between.

The more you’ve built, the more a Trust protects.

Firefighters. Police officers. Nurses. Construction workers. Teachers.

As we finish celebrating the Fourth of July, we’re thinking about the people who show up every single day to keep our communities safe, healthy, and running — often putting themselves on the line to do it. 🇺🇸

If you're in a high-risk profession — or you love someone who is — estate planning isn't just for "someday." It's for right now.

A Will, a Power of Attorney, and a Healthcare Directive mean that no matter what happens on the job, your family has clarity, legal authority, and protection.

You show up every day to take care of others. Let us help you take care of the people who depend on you.

Did You Know HIPAA Can Block Your Own Family?

Most people assume that if they’re in the hospital, their spouse or adult children can automatically get updates from the doctors.

Not necessarily️.

HIPAA privacy laws mean that without the right documents in place, even your closest family members can be legally blocked from accessing your medical information — or being involved in your care.

The fix is simple: a HIPAA Authorization and a Healthcare Power of Attorney give your loved ones the access and authority they need. So, they're never left standing in a hallway, being told "we can't share that information."

Don't let a privacy law come between you and your family.
