My name is Mark DeRue and I have been a lawyer for 18+ years. I have designed this website to do one thing: give people information that can lead them on a path to solve their problem. After all, people hire a lawyer to solve their problem. Much of what I do I call "preventative lawyering". Through proper planning I would much rather have you avoid problems in the first place then to try to rescue you once trouble begins.
With the cost of litigation being so high, it is far wiser and cheaper to help someone avoid a lawsuit or other problems. A Hands On Approach- Many lawyers like to get the client and then hand them off to their staff. I do not expect my staff to play "mini-lawyer" but handing them a pile of papers and telling them to solve "so and so's" problem. I do not mind doing the dirty work.
Making phone calls, drafting documents and letters are part of being a good lawyer. I will stay involved in your case from beginning until end. A Budget You Can Live With- The uncertainty of the final cost of hiring a lawyer is a big concern of most people.

Services
Having a background in sales and marketing taught me about the lifetime value of a client.
That is why you will find me to be far more accessible and hands-on than most attorneys.
The type of person that hires me tends to not want some impersonal law firm representing them but rather wants to have a one on one relationship with their lawyer.
That is what you will get from me.
With me it's simple.
Frequent guest speaker at College of Lake County (Paralegal program) and numerous real estate and mortgage institutions.
