Legal Representation for Plainfield Residents and Property Owners

Plainfield has grown fast along the Route 59 and 127th Street corridors, and with that growth comes more traffic stops, more landlord tenant disputes, and more real estate closings than the village saw a generation ago. Villalobos & Associates has kept pace, representing clients from the historic downtown along Lockport Street to the newer subdivisions off Naperville Road and Renwick Road. A criminal charge, an eviction, or a family estate matter in Plainfield deserves an experienced attorney who won't back down at the negotiating table or in the courtroom.

Most Plainfield matters, criminal, traffic, eviction, and civil, are heard at the Will County Courthouse in downtown Joliet. Residents in the small pocket of Plainfield that extends into Kendall County sometimes find their case routed to the Kendall County Courthouse in Yorkville instead, and our firm handles both without missing a step.

As a local attorney with nearly three decades of trial experience, founding attorney Raul Villalobos and attorney Mark Villalobos built this law firm on a simple idea: everyone deserves zealous legal representation, whether the matter is a felony charge, a contested eviction, or a family estate that needs to be settled correctly.

Where Your Plainfield Legal Matter Will Be Heard

Knowing which courthouse hears your case, and which local rules apply, makes a real difference in how a matter gets resolved. Plainfield sits mostly within Will County, with a smaller section reaching into Kendall County near the 111th Street and Book Road area.

  • Will County Courthouse, 14 W. Jefferson Street, Joliet: handles most Plainfield criminal, traffic, eviction, and civil filings.
  • Kendall County Courthouse, Yorkville: hears cases for the portion of Plainfield within Kendall County.
  • Plainfield Village Hall: enforces local rental and property maintenance ordinances that often come up in landlord tenant disputes.
  • DuPage River corridor: a common reference point in property line and easement disputes for homes near the river.
  • Route 59 and 127th Street commercial districts: where many of the commercial real estate and business litigation matters our firm handles originate.

Plainfield legal questions

Frequently Asked Questions From Plainfield Clients

Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often from clients in Plainfield and the surrounding Will County communities.

Answers
Which courthouse handles my Plainfield eviction case?

Most Plainfield eviction cases are filed at the Will County Courthouse in Joliet. If your rental property sits in the small section of Plainfield within Kendall County, your eviction lawyer will file in Yorkville instead. Our firm confirms the correct venue before filing so there's no delay.

I received a traffic ticket in Plainfield. Do I need a traffic ticket attorney?

Many traffic citations carry consequences beyond a fine, including points on your license or a suspended license if you already have violations on record. A traffic lawyer can often negotiate a reduced charge or represent you at your Will County Court date so you don't have to face it alone.

Can you help with a probate matter if my family member lived in Plainfield?

Yes. Our probate attorneys regularly handle estate administration for Plainfield residents, guiding families through the Will County probate process for real property, bank accounts, and personal belongings left behind.

Do you offer a Spanish speaking lawyer for Plainfield clients?

Yes. Our firm includes a Spanish speaking lawyer so clients throughout Plainfield and Will County can discuss their criminal, eviction, or family legal matter comfortably in the language they're most confident in.

Scott helped me with my horrible cook county eviction case and I am grateful. This law office is diligent and responsive with their work. After calling multiple law offices Villalobos & Associates offered me the best price (others wanted to charge me a fee just for a consultation!) Don’t waste your time calling other law offices if you’re looking for an eviction attorney!
Don Haley

Very good firm, affordable, and reliable. 10/10 would hire again! Cheers
Xpunkxrockxwarxlockx

Uzixwraith

Great service, saved my life twice! Recommend Mark Villalobos 10/10
Emile Boghos

Mark was a very attentive attorney. We used his services to close on a condo, and he took every possible measure - including meeting me at my workplace with documents to sign when I could not get away - to ensure we closed on time. Great experience, I will contact him again for any future real estate transactions.
Chanel Crespo

I cannot thank Marc enough for everything he did for me during an extremely stressful housing situation. From the beginning, he was knowledgeable, strategic, and honest about the process. He took the time to explain things clearly, protected my interests, and helped resolve my case in a way that avoided an eviction judgment and protected my record. Marc handled the situation professionally and helped me secure a favorable resolution while making sure my concerns were taken seriously throughout the process. I truly appreciated having someone in my corner who understood both the legal and practical side of what I was dealing with. I highly recommend Marc to anyone dealing with landlord-tenant issues or housing court matters. Thank you again for all your help.
Thalia Ruiz

Just when we were about to loose all hope I found the Villalobos office & decided to see if they could help me, I bought a house (rent to own) and the seller didn’t want to fulfill his end of the contract, we talked to two other attorneys and I just wasted time and money, they were of no help. Once Mark took our case it was a long process but he reassured us the whole way, they were attentive and overall very affordable ! Well after about 4 years of fighting we won the case! I kept my house and I’m forever grateful for all the hard work Mark, Raul and his team dedicated to this case! Thank you Villalobos and associates !
Bryan Adan

Renato Salazar

I was facing some serious charges and potential prison time but Mr. Villalobos decided to take my case to trial and won and I was acquitted of the charges. I would definitely recommend this law firm to my friends and family and anyone else in need of criminal defense attorneys.
