Welcome!
My name is Tom Olofsson. I am a lawyer. I help families plan for the future.

For more info please visit my main site http://www.mytrustlawyer.com
My hope is that this site will make it easy for you to find out about estate planning and to see if you would like me to help you plan for your family’s future.
My goal is to help you decide which estate planning tools are best for you and your family. Before you go on please Bookmark this page so you can come back whenever you want.
The focus is on you.
The planning process begins with you and your wishes for your family. My first concern is you and your family. My job is to help make sure that your plans for your loved ones come true.
My practice is limited to helping individuals and families plan their estates. I do this by meeting with you to discuss your family situation and how best to pass your assets on to your loved ones.
Why I make house-calls.
I came from a large family. I remember how much work it was for my mom to load all of us into the station wagon when it was time to visit the doctor. I always thought it would have made more sense for the doctor to hop in his car and come to our house.
With this in mind, I meet with my clients in their homes. Many families have told me that my coming to them makes life easier particularly when a member of the family is elderly or has special needs. It is much easier and it makes more sense for me to hop in my car… well you get the idea.
My office is at the Southwest corner of Chicago in the Beverly area. I do not expect you to come here. I am available to meet with you in your home. I look forward to meeting you and I will be happy to talk with you about your particular situation.

The following pages will help you decide how to go ahead from here.
The US Attorney said Illinois is the most corrupt State in the Union, did Obama report any corruption ?
Obama was in Illinois politics for years. Did he not think that anything unethical was going on or is he just good at covering his tracks?
If he was involved in playing politics the Chicago way, then he is just very good at covering his tracks. If he wasn’t, then he just looked the other way and allowed it to go on, business as usual.
What do you make of Willie Brown (former S.F. mayor) take on Blago scandal?
(I posted this question earlier and mistakenly identified Brown as former mayor of Chicago….my apologies….had Illinois on the brain)
Brown (democrat) is basically saying he thinks Obama’s people initiated contact with Blago after they realized who Blago was leaning towards for the Senate seat.

" I wouldn’t bet on him [Blago] stepping aside anytime soon. If anything, his hand is getting stronger by the day. I can’t go into details, but my impression is that the whole mess started because the governor had been considering appointing a political rival, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, to the Senate so she wouldn’t be able to run against him when he went up for re-election in 2010. Apparently, Obama’s people weren’t happy about the idea of Madigan coming to Washington, and there were some pretty heated conversations between Blagojevich and Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, which I understand will burn your ears off."

"It was pretty clear that Blagojevich is going to hang tough, especially after the Illinois Supreme Court shot down Madigan’s request that he be forced from office because he supposedly can’t carry out his duties.
It is also pretty clear that despite all the screaming over his appearing to be "selling" the seat in return for political favors or financial considerations, his fellow Democrats are not going to strip him of his power to appoint someone to replace Obama.
Publicly, they may say that’s because a special election would cost the state millions. But the truth is, the Democrats are deathly afraid that with all these corruption stories swirling around, a do-gooder Republican could win the seat and damage the Democrats’ chances of holding a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate."
I admit, this does sound more plausible than the classic "I didn’t know anything about that" coming from Obama’s people.
I’m talking about Willie Brown’s take on the situation, why does it matter who wrote down what he said??
fluke……..the problem is that Obama’s not supposed to interfere with what was supposed to be the Governor’s decision alone.
I saw Willie make some of those comments and they were compelling. In addition, if you take into account that Blago, for all of the "perceptions" hasn’t "DONE" anything regarding this senate seat, he’s gonna walk on this issue. He hasn’t actually committed any crimes. Conspiracy is weak because no one was willing to deal with him. The Obama camp likely ratted him out if nothing else. The Senate will likely have to back down from Harry Ried’s statement that hey will not accept any appointments by Blago. This is particularly true if Blago picks a retired politician who will promise not to run in two years when the seat is up for re-election.
The Chicago Sun Times (I think) was going to break the story so Fitzgerald had to run with it before he was actually ready. The press conference was a huge mistake on Fitzgerald’s part and will likely come back to haunt him. But Fitzgerald was likely trying to prevent a crime concerning a Senate seat. Regardless, Fitzgerald probably has Blago on something else already and this Senate seat is just a distraction and won’t matter in the end.
What are your predictions for Week 3 in the NFL?
These are my predictions
Atlanta over Kansas City- Kansas City’s run defense is pretty bad, Matt Ryan will kick back and let Micheal Turner go to work
Buffalo over Oakland- Buffalo has too much talent for Oakland
Carolina over Minnesota- Steve Smith will destroy the Vikings pass defense
Washington over Arizona- Arizona is extemely talented, but Washington will go all out as they NEED this game. The Skins have to face Dallas and Phliadelphia on the road in Week 4 and 5, i don’t like thier chances in those games
Tampy Bay over Chicago- Brian Gresie’s experience will shine as both teams will battle down to the wire
Tennesse over Houston- The Titans defense is EXCELLENT!
New England over Miami- The Pats are superior to Miami. Simple.
New York Giants over Cinncinati- New York please show them a little mercy.
Denver over New Orleans- Jay Cutler is a BOSS
Seattle over St Louis- Matt Hassleback will get back on track.
San Fransico over Detroit- Detroit deserves better than Matt Millen
Indianapols over Jacksonville- Peyton Manning will light it up. Trust me.
Clevland over Baltimore- This is tough to pick, but i just don’t know about Flacco yet. I seriously don’t have confidence in this pick.
Philadelphia over Pittsburgh- The Steelers will manhandle thier division and be contenders this year, but i just can’t see them keeping up with the Eagles run and gun style.
Dallas over Green Bay- Aaron Rogers is money, but the Cowboys are just too damn good!
San Diego over New York Jets- After what happened last week, expect the Chargers to electrocute the Jets
Peace.
not easy week
watch all
MySQL Query Design. Need some thoughts on how I can go about searching a service area with 2 tables.?
I have two tables within a database.
Table 1 has City, County, State, Zip Code (that contains the entire US)
Table 2 has Attorney Name, Firm name,….City, State, County, Zip Code, County 1, County 2, County3, County 4 (Which are the attorney’s service area – the 4 counties)
I want to create a MySQL SELECT query to search for attorneys by entering a zip code. But the results, I would like it to show ALL zip codes within the county that I entered by zipcode. If I chose 60601 (which is Chicago, IL Cook County) then I would like it to show all the attorneys within Cook county with all the zip codes within that county such as 60601 60602 60603 60604 60605 etc…
Therefore, Select 60601 from attorney but show ALL attorneys with the zip codes 60601 60602 60603 60604 60605 etc…
It is better to normalise your DB (table 2)…
If not, you will need to join table 2 to table 1 four times (use aliases) – each of service counties in table 2 to county in table 1.
With normalised DB you will need only one join
