Re: taking way too long in IL
Send an certified mail with return receipt requested and ask your attorney in writing the status of the case and that he provides you with a written response on why the defendant has not yet been served even though you have given him the whereabouts of the defendant. Give him two weeks from the date of the receipt of the letter to respond.
If he doesn't, then get yourself another lawyer.
I hope this helps,
