My Legal ServicesAt the Chicago, Illinois law firm of Michael Jaskula, Attorney at Law I provide legal representation in the following practice areas:
Civil LitigationCivil litigation involves disputes involving the private rights of citizens, as opposed to a criminal complaint, which involves the State, or a violation or lack of compliance with the rules and regulations of a governmental agency provided for by statute. In civil disputes, one party, usually referred to as the plaintiff, alleges that the other party, the defendant, has caused some type of harm either through acts committed by the defendant, or acts the defendant had a duty to perform but failed to. Examples of issues over which civil litigation may arise include:
As your attorney, I will provide you with legal representation in civil litigation. However, litigation is usually very costly and time consuming for the client. It has been my practice to assist my clients in understanding the litigation process. The law provides many tools for resolving disputes between private citizens who believe they have suffered a loss or an injury due to the actions or inaction of others. Contact me for a free initial consultation so we can discuss the options available to you. Commercial LitigationCommercial litigation usually involves disputes between private citizens within the context of a commercial transaction or commercial setting. Typically, the parties to commercial litigation are business entities rather than individuals. Most American commercial law is regulated by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which has been adopted in one form or another by virtually all states. Violations of the UCC can, in some instances, lead to criminal charges if the public good appears to be at risks due to fraud or misrepresentation. In other instances, regulatory agencies may become involved and have the ability to assess fines for violations of the rules and regulations that come under their jurisdiction. Since American commercial law is primarily concerned with the sale of goods and services, as well as financing credit transactions on these goods that are sold, and negotiable instruments of finance, there are many opportunities for errors and disputes to occur. If you live in Chicago, Illinois, and find yourself faced with the possibility of commercial litigation, contact me for a free initial consultation. I can guide you through the process of reviewing your options, and assist you in avoiding unnecessary and costly litigation. Real Estate Transactions

I can assist you in making your real estate transaction as easy as possible, and ensure that all your real estate legal requirements are in order. I can help with the sale and closing of your real property by making sure all the documentation required by local, state, or federal governments is in order. I will ensure the appropriate transfer of title, payment of taxes, and recording of the deed.
