CURRENT EVENTS AND SPECIAL NOTICES

Clients, friends and their families with residences in Cook County, Illinois: Important Property Tax Reminder!

Attorneys Marc Sherman and Maureen Meersman remind us that the deadline to apply for property tax savings in Cook County is Friday, May 15th. 

Applying online is easy and allows certain exemptions to roll over each year. It doesn’t take much time to be sure that eligible residents can confirm available Homeowner Exemption, Senior Exemption, “Senior Freeze” Exemption, as well as special tax treatment for Persons with Disabilities and Veterans with Disabilities. 

If you have already applied, or if you are assisting a family member who may have challenges preventing them from confirming their own exemptions, our Team recommends that you can check the status of the exemption by reaching out to the Cook County Assessor’s official website, or use this link: https://assessorpropertydetails.cookcountyil.gov/forms/htmlframe.aspx?mode=content/home.htm

New In Our Office?

Our "Of Counsel" Collaboration Will Blossom Into New Consulting Counsel Relationship

Attorney Maureen Meersman Soon Joining Us As A Special Consultant For Real Estate, Trust And Estate Planning, And Probate Administration

Building our team by sharing ideas, perspectives and experience adds value and resources. When team members are long-time friends and trusted colleagues, that value is enhanced by multiples. 

Our “of counsel” relationship with Maureen Meersman has provided our clients with the opportunity to take advantage of Maureen’s skill and experience in her focus areas of Real Estate Law, Estate Planning, and Trust and Probate representation. Soon, Maureen is expected to join Marc D. Sherman & Colleagues P.C. in a special consulting role. We are excited!

The Law Office of Maureen P. Meersman P.C. in Mt. Prospect, Illinois, has a long tradition of service to the residents of our community. The Meersman Firm’s focus on thoughtful and considerate representation of its clients and their business and family matters is consistent with the approach that Marc Sherman has encouraged for his own clients for decades.

We look forward to continue introducing Maureen’s clients to our experience with Business Law projects, including new business entities and transactions, and Marc’s work in many aspects of Commercial Law, Commercial and Residential Real Estate, Estate Planning and Probate/Trust Matters, and general Civil Litigation.

Look for updates and announcements coming in June and July!

“Marc Sherman and associates were invaluable to me when I found myself in need of a lawyer. Mr. Sherman is very professional yet put me at ease from the moment we met. He takes his time to listen, and you always feel how he’s looking out for your best interest, he’s got your back. If you’re in need of a lawyer, I highly suggest Marc Sherman.” 2025

Cyn

“As our case plotted along I began to understand that it was not the results of a lawsuit which shapes you, regardless of the stakes or how frustrating a case can be, but the manner and integrity in how we conduct ourselves as individuals in such crucial and highly personal affairs.   

My brain would nearly hurt trying to keep up as Marc articulated on the phone, in person and in court.  I truly enjoyed the intellectual challenges of what you as attorneys do, how you see things in places where nothing exists for the rest of us.  I am more whole as a person having had these experiences.  

For me, Marc epitomizes the meaning of dignity which I have always held as the highest standard to live for, regardless of the current of the day.”
