Attorney Information

Overview

David W. Westland is a partner and owner of Westland & Bennett P.C., with his wife, Nicole. When asked what it's like to work with your wife every day, Dave's quick response is always, "There are all kinds of luck and I'm a lucky guy!"

Dave was born and raised in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. Dave's love of baseball began when his dad coached his Little League teams, and his grandma (yes, grandma!) played catch with him for hours during his high school years, goading him to throw harder. Dave was the catcher for his high school baseball team, as well as his college baseball team at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. Dave credits the game of baseball for showing him how to strategize, implement a game plan, and work as a team to obtain the desired result.

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.
