Attorney Information
Overview
Mary Taradash grew up in the ethnic neighborhoods of Chicago, immersed in cultural diversity and speaking Spanish and Lithuanian as well as English. After completing college, Mary worked for the State of Illinois Office of Education as Ombudsman, investigating and mediating education-related issues throughout the state. She completed graduate studies in communications and organizational psychology that propelled her into research, planning and evaluation for the Illinois Law Enforcement and the Dangerous Drugs Commissions in Chicago. However, it was her drive to make a difference to her world, one person at a time that compelled Mary to enter law school.
After more than 25 years of focus on family law throughout the metropolitan Chicago area, Mary now concentrates in social security disability where she has a direct and positive impact on people's lives. She views her current efforts as a natural extension of family practice, where the issues often included the impact of injuries, disability and financial distress.
Mary and her husband and law partner, Randy call McHenry County home and established their practice 38 years ago to serve this community and northern Illinois. They have two grown children and are both still committed to quality in the practice of law, social justice and making a difference to the community, its people and the environment.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
