Illinois Specific Attorney Terms and Conditions

No Attorney-Client Relationship Created by Use of this Website: Neither your receipt of information from this website nor your use of this website to contact Abdilla & Associates or one of its attorneys creates an attorney-client relationship between you and Abdilla & Associates.  As a matter of policy, Abdilla & Associates does not accept a new client without first investigating possible conflicts of interests and obtaining a signed engagement letter. (Abdilla & Associates may, for example, already represent another party involved in your matter.)  Accordingly, you should not use this website to provide confidential information about a legal matter of yours to Abdilla & Associates, although all information provided through this website will be confidential under the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct Section 1.6 (July 2010)

No Legal Advice Intended:  This website includes information about legal issues and legal developments.  Such materials are for informational purposes only and may not reflect the most current legal developments.  These informational materials are not intended, and should not be taken, as legal advice on any particular set of facts or circumstances.  You should contact an attorney for advice on specific legal problems. 

No Guarantee of Results:  Many of the practice summaries and individual attorney biographies on this website describe results obtained in matters handled for Abdilla & Associates’ clients.  These descriptions are meant only to provide information about the activities and experience of our attorneys.   They are not intended as a guarantee that the same or similar results can be obtained in every matter undertaken by our attorneys, and you should not assume that a similar result can be obtained in a legal matter of interest to you.  The outcome of a particular matter can depend on a variety of factors—including the specific factual and legal circumstances, the ability of opposing counsel, and, often, unexpected developments beyond the control of any client or attorney. 

IRS Circular 230 Notice:   In accordance with IRS requirements, this is to inform you that any information on this website that could be construed as U.S. tax advice is not written or intended to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed on this website.   

Third-Party Websites:  As a convenience, this website may provide links to third-party websites.  Such linked websites are not under the control of Abdilla & Associates, and Abdilla & Associates assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the contents of such websites. 

Authorized Practice of Law:  The jurisdictions in which each of our attorneys is licensed to practice are indicated in the individual attorney biographies on this website.  Currently, all attorneys of Abdilla & Associates are licensed in good standing to practice in the State of Illinois, and no matters will be accepted outside the jurisdiction of Illinois.  The ability of any attorney to engage in any activities on behalf of a client outside that attorney’s states of licensure is subject to state statutes and professional codes and court rules.  Abdilla & Associates does not seek, and this website is not intended to solicit, legal employment outside our attorneys’ states of licensure that would constitute the unauthorized practice of law.

FCRA Compliance: The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies.  There are many types of consumer reporting agencies, including credit bureaus and specialty agencies (such as agencies that sell information about check writing histories, medical records, and rental history records).  Here is a summary of your major rights under FCRA.  For more information, including information about additional rights, go to www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore or write to: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20552.

FHA Compliance: It is illegal to discriminate in the sale or rental of housing, including against individuals seeking a mortgage or housing assistance, or in other housing-related activities. The Fair Housing Act prohibits this discrimination because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), familial status, and disability. A variety of other federal civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, prohibit discrimination in housing and community development programs and activities, particularly those that are assisted with HUD funding. These civil rights laws include obligations such as taking reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited English proficiency (LEP) and taking appropriate steps to ensure effective communication with individuals with disabilities through the provision of appropriate auxiliary aids and services. Various federal fair housing and civil rights laws require HUD and its program participants to affirmatively further the purposes of the Fair Housing Act.

For purposes of compliance with Illinois Rule of Professional Conduct 7.2, the Abdilla & Associates attorney responsible for the content of this website is Justin Abdilla, who practices out of the office location at 650 Warrenville Road #100, Lisle IL 60532.
