Schrock Law
Q: How long will my case last and how much will it cost me?
A: Litigation takes time and costs money. The goal is to achieve resolution of your matter in an economical and timely manner. The factors that determine how long your case will last and how much it will cost are outside of my control and involves the motivation,finances and reasonableness of the opposing party and the opposing party's relationship with opposing counsel. If the opposing party and opposing attorney are unreasonable, stubborn, and acrimonious, be prepared for the long haul with the resolution of your matter coming only after a trial. -John Schrock Law

A: I have been a practicing litigation attorney for for over 28 years. I have tried Jury and Bench Trial in Cook, DuPage, Will, Grundy Counties as well as the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. -John Schrock Law

Q: What is the difference between Hosting, Design and Marketing?
A: Hosting is the space on our server where your web
site is located and accessed from by visitors. We have numerous sub-routines
and scripts running in the background to ensure your site remains on-line
and to keep hackers out. Design is both the visual portion of the
site you see, including pictures and layout, as well as the code you don't
see. The hidden code helps the site run efficiently and works hand in
hand with Google and Bing to get found more easily. Marketing is
just that, marketing of your site. We employ numerous tactics and skills
to get your site out in front of potential visitors. All of our marketing
efforts are aimed at making your phone ring or getting someone to walk
in your business' front door. There are many other considerations, such
as domain names, keywords, title and description tags and more. -AmeriWeb

Q: What is the difference between a CMS and a Sitebuilder?
A: From the end user's perspective, very little difference exists,
at least on the surface. CMS stands for Content Management System, and
a Sitebuilder is a script that allows you to create a web site for yourself,
often using pre-existing templates you choose from. A popular Sitebuilder
is GoCentral Sitebuilder owned and offered by GoDaddy, and a popular CMS
is WordPress. Both are very easy to use, however getting either to rank
well on Google is a bit tricky. For your first web site, either will work
for you, altho most businesses will outgrow them in a short time. Contact
me to find out how affordable a hand coded web site can be for your business.

Q: What are 3 easy things I can do to promote my business on-line?
A: Promoting your business, whether on-line of off-line, is a process
of small steps. Instead of looking for that one trick that will make you
rich, plan on a series of small steps that, when taken together, will
promote your business well. Here are 3 to start with:
1) Always use a signature on your outgoing emails. It should include
your name and your business name, phone and web site URL at a minimum.
You can add a slogan and other items, however try to keep it under 8 lines
or so. There is nothing worse than receiving an email and having to search
your contact list or Google in order to call the vendor by phone. Make
it easy!
2) Make sure your web site navigation is easy to use and clear
in concept. Confusing links that are difficult to find makes a site ineffective.
Be clear in the pathway and riches will follow!
3) Make sure your business information appears on-line in a consistent
manner. If you list your phone as (773) 735-5144 don't mix it up and occasionally
use 773-735-5144. If your address end in St don't mix in Street or Strt.
Also North or N, S or South etc are all less than optimal as far as getting
a good rank on the search engines. Google sees these as two different
citations. You will get better ranking if you are consistent.
4) I always try to give a little more, so #4 is a freebie. Contact me
for a free SEO Optimization report showing tips on optimizing your web
site to get the best from the search engines. It is free, and will arrive
via email as a PDF. Just ask for yours! -AmeriWeb

Q: In Real Estate Terms, What is a (CMA) Comparative Market Analysis?
A: A comparative market analysis (CMA) is usually a document that is
prepared by a Real Estate professional like myself to help determine the
selling price of a home by comparing it to recently sold homes in the
same area of similar size and styles. To create a CMA, I look at the price
of recently sold, active, and expired listings that are similar (comparable)
to the home that you are wanting to sell and come up with the range of
what your home should sell for.
There are two typical situations where a CMA is essential in Real Estate.
When you are wanting to list your home with a Professional (Myself).
To help my buyer determine if a home they are interested in is a good
deal or not and help them determine an appropriate purchase price.
CMA’S usually are a free service by Real Estate Professionals like Myself. -Phillip Lawrence
Q: What are the 3 Steps to buy a home?
A: There are 3 Major steps in buying a home and you are usually helped
by 3 Professionals along the way.
There are 3 major phases in the home buying process along with many small
ones. It doesn’t matter if you are a first-time buyer or if you have done
it before the process is usually the same. Three professionals typically
help with this process. The answers are simplified, and you can get more
detailed answers by contacting myself or any of the professionals I will
mention.
Step 1. Find a Lender this is the first process. A lender will
run your credit, give you a pre-qualification letter on what the price
range you can purchase.
Step 2. Find a Real Estate Professional (Hopefully Myself), A Real
Estate Broker will compile a list of homes based upon your pre-approval
from the lender and then take you to those homes till you have chosen
the right home for you. Then the Real Estate Broker will write and negotiate
this offer till it is a fully executed contract to purchase. This broker
will schedule the necessary inspections and milestones thru the buying
process to the closing table.
Step 3. Find a Attorney. An attorney will review the Contract to
purchase and make sure you are protected and able to purchase the home
with a fully clear title and deed to the property.
Remember these are the basic steps for information contact a Real Estate
Professional (Myself) or any other of the 3 Professionals I have mentioned.
