Who We Are
|
Thomas J. Westgard was representing clients as a construction lawyer, when he saw a need for high-quality information about mechanics liens.
Entering the legal field after several years as a tradesman, Tom saw that other lawyers were making the topic unnecessarily complicated, while other lien-filing services were oversimplified to the point of being inaccurate.

This website fills that gap, providing the level of detail necessary to fully understand this complicated topic, but without unnecessary use of jargon or legalese that is a barrier to those outside the legal field.
Tom worked as a carpenter and steelworker for several years before becoming an attorney. He has practiced law for ten years in the state courts of Illinois, and in the federal courts, at both the trial and appellate levels.
In his spare time, Tom enjoys working with his hands and is an avid cook and woodworker. He enjoys jogging, dog training, and camping. More than any other activity, Tom enjoys reading and hardly ever met a non-fiction book he didn't like. Tom speaks English, German and Spanish.
