Editorial Policy

Effective August 29, 2026

This page explains who writes the content on inspiredlawgroup.com, how it is checked, and how to tell us when something is wrong.

Who writes and reviews this content

Every practice page, FAQ answer, and article on this site is written or reviewed by Jeff McCarthy, the founding and only attorney at Inspired Law Group. He has practiced law in Illinois for more than 30 years and handles each of the firm's matters personally. There is no outside content agency and no ghostwritten legal commentary published under someone else's name.

How we source what we publish

Where a page states a rule of Illinois law, we cite the statute by number so you can read it yourself. Examples used across this site include 750 ILCS 5/504 for maintenance, 750 ILCS 5/513 for college contribution, 750 ILCS 60 for orders of protection, and 735 ILCS 5/2-1001 for substitution of judge. Where a page describes how something usually works in practice, we say so plainly rather than presenting it as a rule.

What we will not publish

We do not publish guarantees about case outcomes, and we do not describe past results in a way that implies a future one. We do not publish fabricated client stories or reviews. Client reviews shown on this site come from the firm's verified Google Business Profile.

Keeping pages current

Illinois family law changes, sometimes significantly, as it did in the 2015 overhaul of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. When a change affects what a page says, we update that page rather than leaving stale guidance in place. Pages that reference a statute are checked when that statute is amended.

Corrections

If you believe something on this site is inaccurate or out of date, tell us and we will look at it. Email inspiredlawgroup@gmail.com or call (815) 838-5297. If a correction is warranted we make it and update the page.

The limits of this site

None of this content is legal advice, and reading it does not make you a client. See our Terms of Use and Disclaimer for the full statement.
