Ian received his Juris Doctor, Magna Cum Laude from Georgetown University in 2007, and was admitted to the Illinois Bar the same year. From 2007-2014, Ian served as a JAG in the United States Air Force. As a uniformed attorney, Ian prepared hundreds of estate planning documents for deploying servicemembers, military families, and retirees around the world. For these clients, a solid estate plan typically included a will, applicable testamentary trusts, durable powers of attorney for finances and healthcare, a living will, and other associated documents.. Many of Ian's clients have had legal complexities common to the military world, including domicile outside their state of residence, blended families spread across multiple states and countries, and property ownership in several jurisdictions.. Last year Ian and his family returned home to DuPage County, where Ian was raised from birth until graduation from Naperville North High School. As an estate planning and small-business-focused attorney, Ian plans to continue helping clients achieve security and peace of mind for their family's future.

As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. With this in mind, I work closely with my clients, helping them take small steps today to ensure a better tomorrow. Take Estate Planning for example: if you die without an estate plan, the State of Illinois will provide one for you. To avoid that result, we can work together to ensure that you decide what’s best for your assets, your livelihood and – most importantly – your loved ones.. I have more than 16 years of experience working with individuals, small businesses, and Fortune 500 companies. Prior to joining Lavelle Law, I worked as an associate in one of the largest multinational law firms in the world. If there is one thing that I have learned from my experience, it’s this: When it comes to you, your organization, or your family, there is no substitute for attention to detail. I am committed to understanding all details and aspects of my clients’ issues, and providing them with the highest level of service for their legal needs.

Like most law firms, we offer full representation to clients upon payment of an up-front retainer. But unlike most law firms, we don't believe that clients unable to afford an initial retainer should be denied access to high-quality legal services. This is why we also offer unbundled "pay-as-you-go" legal services at an affordable flat-fee.. With unbundled legal services, a/k/a “limited scope representation,” an attorney and client agree that the attorney will handle some, but not all, aspects of a client’s legal matter. The client is responsible for handling all other aspects of his or her own case for which the attorney has not been retained. This allows the client to choose the level and scope of representation he or she desires, and provides predictable control over the cost of various legal services. Most significantly, with unbundled legal services, instead of charging an up-front retainer for full legal representation, clients can pay for individual services as they are needed at a reasonable flat-fee rate.. Whether you desire one of our many unbundled legal service options, or full representation, we have an option for you. Please contact our office to learn more about the full list of legal services we provide, and to discover our current flat-fee rates.
