Carlson Bier Associates Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

We provide this disclosure to help you understand how our legal services are structured, including the possible involvement of “of counsel” attorneys and any referral relationships. Our goal is to ensure clarity, transparency, and informed decision-making in accordance with the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct (See Rule 1.5).

Use of “Of Counsel” Attorneys

From time to time, Carlson Bier Associates works with attorneys who serve in an “of counsel” role. These attorneys are not partners or employees of the firm but maintain a close and ongoing professional relationship with our office.

If your matter would benefit from the involvement of an “of counsel” attorney, you will be informed in advance. We will clearly explain their role in your case, as well as their qualifications and how they will contribute to your representation.

All work performed by “of counsel” attorneys is coordinated and supervised by Carlson Bier Associates. You will remain a client of our firm throughout your case, and their involvement will not result in any additional cost to you.

Referrals to Other Attorneys or Law Firms

In certain situations, we may determine that your legal matter would be better handled, either in part or in full, by another attorney or law firm. This may be based on factors such as specific expertise, geographic considerations, or the needs of your case.

If a referral is recommended, we will clearly communicate the details to you, including:

The identity of the attorney or firm receiving the referral;
Whether a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement is involved;
How any fees may be divided between the attorneys, if applicable; and
Your right to choose a different attorney if you prefer.

Any fee-sharing arrangement will only be made with your informed written consent, in accordance with the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct. The total fee you pay will not increase as a result of any such arrangement.

Your Rights

You are entitled to the following:

To know who is managing your matter and what their role is;
To accept or refuse any referral or involvement of third-party legal professionals;
To receive clear, written details of any fees, charges, or associated costs;
To end the engagement at any point, subject to any applicable legal or contractual obligations.

If you have any questions about this notice or your representation, you are welcome to ask at any time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hired them back in May for an auto accident and it's almost September and haven't gotten any updates regarding my case. They have to be paying for these reviews. Here it is October of 2025 and yet still haven't accomplished anything. Here's an update after a year on my case, Today is October 21, 2026 and still nothing. I believe they botched my case. Response from owner talking about an exceptional experience as if it correlate to a law firm that haven't even contacted me once within the first year of taking my case. Never checked on my treatment or even showed one ounce compassion. Avoid this place at all costs. Now the want to sue me because I have written a review from my personal experience. These experiences need to be told therefore people could make the correct judgement on if they want to utilize a service and we have the right to freedom of speech.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was scammed by providing direct deposit information through text when receiving my settlement check. I received the funds but then someone did a wire transfer and withdrew double the amount. I suggest using secure method to provide banking information. Not sure if this was someone from Carlson Bier or if somehow the information was hacked. Police report was made and hopefully we can get our money back.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m truly happy to leave this review for Carlson Bier Associates. They are truly a blessing with helping me with my case I did not know what to expect at all especially because this was my very first case and for them to take it into there hands and they kept me informed with every step of the way. They made me feel like family and be able to trust them with my case was truly a blessing. Thank you very much for everything you have done for me and my family. Definitely would recommend Carlson Bier Associates.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second time working with them and while the first time was very swift and easy, this time has been very different. I haven’t gotten a response from a real person in over a month. They took on my case and I don’t get any valuable information like I did before. This accident has been a major setback and I feel like CB and Associates are just giving me the run around.
