Codilis & Associates has maintained an excellent track record of granting clients access to quality legal services for many years. The Codilis group of companies has a presence in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Texas, Missouri, and Wisconsin. Among the key services offered by Codilis and Associates is real estate law which includes mortgage defense, foreclosure, litigation, evictions, and title curative work. The firm collaborates with professional legal associations, including the DuPage County Bar Association.

DuPage County Bar Association (DCBA) brings together attorneys, judiciary, and citizens in DuPage County, Illinois, to offer networking opportunities, business development, and legal education. DuPage Bar Foundation (DBF), the philanthropic wing of DCBA, supports justice within the community by engaging in various charitable acts to improve the administration of justice. DBF facilitates community initiatives such as providing grants to local non-profit organizations. For instance, organizations that benefited from 2023 grants were CASA of DuPage, Northeast DuPage Family and Youth Services, Family Shelter Service, Naperville & Lisle Township TRIAD, Public Interest Law Initiative, and Child Friendly Court Foundation, among others.

DBF also provides law student scholarships through the Ambassador and William J. Bauer Scholarships. The DBF board selects one or more law students who have completed one semester of law school, reside in or are affiliated with DuPage County. A screening committee conducts personal interviews for these scholarships, which they offer annually.
