Landlord Evictions
Efficient, lawful possession of your property.
When a tenant fails to pay rent, violates lease terms, or refuses to vacate, landlords need prompt and effective legal representation. Hatch Law Firm guides residential and commercial landlords through every step of the eviction process in Illinois.
Pay or Quit & Lease Violation Notices
The eviction process begins with proper written notice. We draft and serve legally compliant notices — whether for non-payment of rent, lease violations, or holdover tenancies — ensuring the foundation of your case is solid.
Eviction
If the tenant does not comply, we file and prosecute the eviction lawsuit in the appropriate Illinois circuit court. We handle all pleadings, court appearances, and hearings on your behalf.
Eviction Order
Once judgment is entered, we obtain the order of possession and coordinate with the sheriff's office to restore your property as quickly as the law allows.
Residential & Commercial Matters
Whether you manage a single rental home or a portfolio of commercial spaces, we provide the same attentive, cost-conscious representation tailored to your specific circumstances.

Wills & Trusts
Protect your family. Preserve your legacy.
Estate planning is one of the most important steps you can take for your family's future. Hatch Law Firm helps individuals and families throughout Champaign County create clear, legally sound plans that reflect their wishes and minimize uncertainty.
Last Will & Testament
A properly drafted will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes, names a guardian for minor children, and designates an executor to administer your estate. We draft wills that are clear, enforceable, and tailored to your family's needs.
Revocable Living Trusts
A living trust allows your estate to pass to beneficiaries without going through probate, saving time and expense. We help you fund the trust properly and coordinate it with your overall estate plan.
Powers of Attorney
A durable power of attorney for property and a healthcare power of attorney ensure that trusted individuals can act on your behalf if you become incapacitated — protecting you and relieving your family of difficult decisions.
Estate Plan Reviews & Updates
Life changes — marriages, divorces, births, deaths, and new assets all affect your plan. We review existing documents and recommend updates to keep your estate plan current and effective.
