We offer all (and more) of the legal services provided by downtown firms, while maintaining our principal office in Evergreen Park.

We pride ourselves in practicing preventive law. Always accessible, we believe in advising our clients – as vital decisions are being made – to protect them from potential liability and costly lawsuits. Through strong working relationships and devoted attorneys and staff, OMFM, Ltd. continues to save its clients hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in unnecessary costs and fees.
