Law Group of Illinois Ltd (“The Law Group”) has two convenient locations, one in Vandalia, Illinois (Fayette County) and one in Effingham, Illinois (Effingham County). The Vandalia offices are located across from the Fayette County Building in downtown Vandalia. The Law Group’s Effingham Offices are located two blocks north of the old Effingham County Courthouse. Both offices are located near Interstate 70 in South-Central Illinois. Due to its central locations and the practice areas of its attorneys, The Law Group has traditionally served clients from a broad geographic region. While its physical locations are in close proximity to the county courts in Fayette and Effingham Counties, The Law Group has the ability to serve its clients effectively throughout South-Central Illinois and beyond.
The Vandalia offices of The Law Group consist of two, two-story Victorian homes of historical significance built in the late 1800’s. The North Building is an example of the Queen Anne style and was once the home of Charles Capps, a local merchant. The South Building, an example of the Italianate style, was once home to a circuit judge. Although these homes have been converted for office use, effort has been made to preserve their historic character, period decor, and original atmosphere.
The Law Group’s Effingham offices are located in downtown Effingham, just north of the old courthouse. The Law Group moved to this office in 2018 to accommodate and better serve its ever-growing client base.
The success of The Law Group results from each attorney having specific areas of legal emphasis. Because of this, the firm is able to offer clients experience and expertise in most areas of the law. The group practice stresses interaction among the attorneys. The Law Group places a legal matter for action with the attorney who is most qualified in the area of law or procedure concerned. Some legal matters require the team effort of more than one attorney and staff personnel.
It is the philosophy of The Law Group that attorneys who limit their practice are able to keep current with changes in the law, are able to handle matters more expeditiously because of a familiarity with the type of law with which they are dealing, and are therefore better equipped to serve the needs of clients.
Every effort is made by The Law Group to provide quality legal services and to obtain desired legal results. The Law Group is proud of its attorneys, team practice, support staff, firm administration, computerized legal research, data and word processing, which work in harmony to achieve these goals.
