Mission Satement
The Law Office of Lopez & Mohammed, originally known as Lopez & Affiliates, Ltd., has been serving the Elgin and Chicago area communities for 10 years. Our mission and philosophy is simple; we are a neighborhood law office dedicated to providing quality legal access to the community. We pride ourselves on helping those who may normally not have the resources to hire a private attorney for their legal needs. We firmly believe that competent legal advocacy should not be a privilege for the few but a right for all. We want our communities to know that should it ever become necessary to seek out legal advice or assistance, do not hesitate to call us. If we cannot help you with your problem we will find someone who will and who shares in our philosophy.
