Question: We plan to do some significant remodeling on our home. How can we protect ourselves from unscrupulous contractors? Answer: Before contracting for any home repair or home improvement project, you should determine the scope of work to be done and set specifications for the job. Get recommendations and references from friends, family and colleagues. Some experts advise obtaining at least three written estimates from contractors who have come to your home to view and discuss the work that needs to be done. Be sure the estimates you receive are based on the same work so that you can make meaningful comparisons. The contractor you hire should meet licensing and registration requirements and you can get that information by contacting the appropriate governmental authority. Other tips are posted on the website of the Illinois Attorney General (http:// bit.ly/XLtp1W).

Question: Do I need to pay for the first meeting with an attorney? Answer: Every attorney has a different way of charging for their services. Some are willing to provide an initial consultation at little or no charge. You should always ask in advance if there will be a charge for the first meeting and, if so, what the charge covers. The Illinois State Bar Association’s IllinoisLaw yerFinder.com service connects members of the public with an attorney for a 30-minute consultation for no more than $25. For a phone referral, call 800-922-8757.

Question: Is there a way that a case can be resolved without a judge? Answer: Yes. Mediation is a way to resolve or settle a dispute without the case being decided by a judge or an arbitrator. A mediator is a neutral third person who helps the parties and their attorneys arrive at a mutually agreeable settlement. Keep in mind that a mediator does not decide the case but only assists in a voluntary settlement.
