Legal representation across criminal defense, evictions, civil litigation, real estate, and estate and probate matters. We serve clients throughout Cook, DuPage, Will, and Lake counties.
Villalobos & Associates has served Chicago area families and businesses since 1996. Our attorneys handle criminal charges, landlord and tenant disputes, business and civil litigation, real estate transactions, and estate planning under one roof, so clients never have to search for a different attorney every time a new issue comes up. Our attorneys bring nearly 50 years of trial experience to every case, and whatever you're facing, we're ready to fight for you.
We built this firm on a simple idea: everyone deserves access to zealous representation, including cases involving sensitive or high-stakes subject matter. That commitment shows up in how we staff cases, how we prepare for trial, and how we communicate with clients from the first phone call through resolution.
Our attorneys are experienced litigators first. We don't take a case only to settle it quietly; we prepare every file as if it's headed to trial, because that preparation is what gets results at the negotiating table too. We also offer a Spanish speaking lawyer on staff for clients who are more comfortable discussing their case in Spanish.
Below are the core areas of law our attorneys practice. Each page goes into more detail about how we handle that specific type of case, but every one of them is backed by the same trial-ready approach and direct attorney access.
If you're not sure which practice area matches your situation, that's common, and we're happy to walk through it with you during a consultation.
