Some client stories capture exactly why we practice law. Jeanine's recent review, titled “I Can Not Say Enough Good Things,” reflects the heart of our work at De Silva Law Offices and the values that guide our commercial litigation practice.

A Client’s Words: Trust, Skill, and Genuine Care

Jeanine came to us for commercial litigation support during a stressful chapter in her life. She needed more than legal analysis; she needed calm, clarity, and someone who would stand with her. Jeanine shares: 

“I can not say enough good things about working with Tamara for legal services. Speaking to her, it was very evident she had a full grasp of the law and my situation. She spoke with confidence, which calmed me. I appreciated so much how readily available she was to answer all my questions. But even more than her expertise and responsiveness, I valued so much the intangibles she offered. It was apparent to me from our first conversation that the law was more than a job to her. I felt she really cared about me and my situation. I know the stereotypical lawyer jokes I’ve always heard, but Tamara was the furthest thing from them. It seemed to me this was more a vocation for her. The stress that this alleviated, knowing that I had someone of her caliber who really cared about me in my corner, was priceless. I was so relieved that I found her and so grateful that I was able to work with her. Highly, highly, recommend contacting Tamara for all your legal needs.”

Commercial Litigation with a Human Focus

Jeanine's words highlight what matters most to our clients in Chicago and Harwood Heights. Clear guidance, steady communication, and genuine concern for their well-being shape every case we handle. Commercial disputes often bring financial risk and personal strain. We take time to understand both the legal and human sides of each matter, so clients feel heard, prepared, and supported.

Responsiveness and availability matter. When clients know they can reach out with questions, they feel less alone in the process. That sense of partnership reduces stress and allows them to make decisions with greater confidence.

Purpose Beyond the Practice

For Tamara, the law carries a deeper purpose. What she finds most fulfilling about practicing law isn't just the intellectual challenge of a case—it's the chance to serve. Solving a life-altering problem or helping an entrepreneur reach a lifelong goal is the best part of what she does. She loves helping people.

That mindset shapes how we serve local businesses and individuals. Our long-standing presence in the community and our focus on regional needs help us offer guidance that fits the realities clients face every day.
