Experience Matters

Experience is key and exceedingly important in today’s probate matters. Law school does not prepare attorneys with the skills and knowledge needed to successfully and efficiently handle the time sensitive and delicate nature of matters handled in probate court.

Ruben, who has been practicing law in Illinois for over 20 years, spent his first 10 years as a general practitioner, where he gained experience with a wide variety of legal matters. This experience is a great advantage in probate proceedings because when people become disabled (or pass away) they usually have a variety of assets and knowledge of other areas of law helps us administer those assets. For the past 12 years, Ruben has primarily focused his practice on probate court matters, including without limitation probate administration and contested proceedings, representing Guardians of the Estates, and obtaining probate approval for injury settlements and verdicts.

Since 1998, Ruben Garcia has also been entrusted with appointments by Cook County judges to act as Guardian Ad Litem for Disabled Adults, Guardian Ad Litem for Minors, and Special Administrator in Decedents’ Estates.
