I hired Kenneth Kaplan to help with me with a very complicated divorce case. A number of attorneys preceded him and were unable to make any forward progress: in fact, a couple of them only served to make things worse. He reviewed over 1000 pages of case files and quickly had a thorough understanding of the issues. The case involved custody of a minor child and a number of financial matters. I found Mr. Kaplan to be a consummate professional who not only took pride in his work but also cared about the outcome of the proceedings. He was easy to get hold of and always returned my phone calls promptly. His advice and court action were always based in fact and tempered by financial practicalities. His advice created appropriate expectations and oftentimes served to dampen down my desire to move forward in a manner based more on my emotions than on my intellect. In the end, I avoided useless court time and unnecessary fees. The results he obtained for me on every level have been wonderful, a real blessing. I can recommend him without qualification to anyone who needs assistance with divorce. You will not find anyone better.

Gabriela Asrow gave me my freedom. My divorce and post divorce was extremely complicated to say the least. Gabriela jumped in head first, knows the law and my allocation back and forth, and represented me with gusto and professionalism. I was often shocked by the information she knew in an instance about my case in particular. Only because it seemed knowledge that I would have front of mind, and no one else should. Gabriela did. What I truly appreciate about Gabriela is that she listened to my wants and needs, told me what was reasonable and what was not, and WHY! Understanding the why allowed me to be more flexible and realistic in my expectations and needs. Gabriela stuck with me, no matter how extremely tough it got, was 100% real with me and truly helped me be free. Without Gabriela, I’d still be trapped. I would recommend Gabriela every time, and will continue to recommend Gabriela every time. Gabriela also never overcharged me, or spent time talking about personal matters. I’m sure she has a life outside of the office, but I never paid for small talk or had to worry about her personal feelings getting in the way of defending me. I cannot say enough about Gabriela, except she is by far the best lawyer in Chicagoland - and I’ve had my share of lawyers before.

My divorce was extremely contentious to say the least. Negotiations were extremely difficult. However, Ms. Gabriela Asrow never gave up. The mere fact the divorce was finalized in a little over a year is a testament to her hard work. I appreciated her vast knowledge of the law which was very helpful during this difficult process. This was a tough settlement. However she got it done and was tough with me when necessary. She also cares deeply about children so I highly recommend her if should children / visitation an issue.

Hiring Gabriela for my pre-nuptial agreement was the best decision I could’ve made. Not having a legal background, she quickly brought me up to speed on the critical concepts covered in the agreement & ensured I understood the risks to each. She was able to incorporate my wishes into the agreement in a fair & agreeable way which brought negotiations to a close quickly. She treated myself, my partner, and opposing counsel with respect, and worked efficiently to complete the agreement. I would gladly work with her again!

Jeffery has helped me and my family through a long series of family law, litigations, divorce, paternity, custody and adoption procedures. At every turn , he has been very cool about explaining the legal system that often seems unfair and stacked in favor of rich people . we have always been successful, even if things took longer than I had expected. I have referred many friends to him and they all have had the same experience. Jeffery is deadly blunt but very caring and accessible a no BS guy in a world full of chaos.

We brought Ryan on after we were with another Attorney for over 2 months. During this time the previous Attorney didn't consult with our son at all in person. We hired this amazing Attorney Ryan Couzens AFTER he made an in person visit with our son. Yes he took the time to meet with and listen to our son prior to receiving retainer fee. Hired 9/22/24 for sentencing hearing on 10/3/24. Ryan knew more about the case than previous council and argued the case like he was representing his own son. He did what I think an Attorney should do (communicated) with us and our son the entire time. He took the pressure off. I just can't say enough. Our son was looking at a prison sentence and Ryan the miracle man came through for him. Our son received a short jail sentence and probation. We are and will be forever grateful to Ryan James Couzens.

Ryan is an exceptional and practical attorney. Ryan represented me after picking up my case from another attorney at his prior firm. With his prior experience as a DA, he understands how the other side thinks and plays their hand. He has intuitive ideas and creative angles in framing your defense. His responsiveness was far above my expectations and made me feel understood and heard through out the process. One thing I noticed early was his ability to listen to his clients. Often specialists in a field speak over you and lack the ability to connect with their clients in an everyday common manner but Ryan often stops himself and says “you had a question, go ahead”. That made me feel taken care of by my attorney. Support this man and his ability to serve his clients, you’re in great hands!

Mr. Ridings has excellent work ethics, is incredibly knowledgeable in the field of law given his background as a police officer/lawyer/judge, is compassionate and understanding, gives you his 100% and more, and overall an amazing person with a good heart. He will listen to your case, and if you are blessed, he will accept your case. Listen to his recommendations because they are true and of great benefits. He even told me during my consultation, to save money and not use him as a lawyer until the time is needed, but I was very glad that I still requested his help because he guided me through a difficult time and was very successful at doing so. If you ever are in need of a lawyer, please do yourself a favor and call him.

Jay White is an increadible attorney with 30 plus years of experience, which is one of the traits to a great attorney. I initially went with a popular online law firm that specializes in tickets… and they were too green in handling a case like mine. The benefits of using an attorney like Mr. White is his years of experience, and he personally looks at your case and takes an approach based off that case and not out to make a quick buck and put it on the pipeline. Jay White proved his swift and efficient representation, which is what you expect from a high caliber attorney. He has a very efficient, honest, and transparent team that comes along with his representation. I do not live in NC but that wasn’t a problem, he took care of everything and I am incredibly satisfied with the outcome of my case. Consider Jay White for your next representation you are in good hands.

Every lawyer I contacted told me about how they would get me a good plea deal but Seth was the first one who said "I think we have a case" and "I didn't become a lawyer to take plea deals." And man did he deliver. Throughout the whole process Seth would respond to texts quickly and kept me informed about everything. I recommend you tell Seth EVERYTHING, even medical things. There's things he can use in his case that you might not think are relevant but could be game changers. If Seth thinks you have a case, he'll tell you, but he wont recommend you to take the risk of going to trial, you have to make that decision for yourself. In the court room I saw dozens of people with similar charges to my own, each of them taking the exact same plea deal that the other lawyers wanted me to take. Seth was the only one who took it to trial and he fought hard. As the trial went on, Seth would do research on the fly based on the prosecution's arguments, to poke holes in them, all while playing 4D Chess, positioning his arguments for all possible scenarios, going on for hours without letting up. In the end, it was the simple evidence he provided in the beginning that won the case, the rest was... theater? strategy? A mix of both probably. It worked. The point is, all charges were dismissed. Seth is the best lawyer I've ever experienced.

Joshua was very proactive in communicating all legal matters and was timely in getting the legal matters addressed with my ex's lawyer as well as with the court. He was always readily available when I had questions or concerns regarding the case and could jump on a call when needed. I highly recommend Joshua based on my experience with this case and comparing to other lawyers I've worked with in the past. He is highly professional and gets the job done.

I recently had the privilege of working with Josh Wheeler to represent me during my divorce. I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional service I received. Josh has a vast knowledge of family law with many years of experience that was evident from our initial consultation. During our first contact, unlike other attorneys I interviewed, he took time to explain the legal process, how the law is structured, and the outcome I could expect. Through the entire process Josh demonstrated unwavering dedication, professionalism, and expertise. He took time to listen to my story, asked pertinent questions, and provided clear explanations of the legal processes involved. I highly recommend the services of Wheeler Family Law.

As someone who recently navigated the waters of divorce, I can confidently say that Josh was nothing short of a guiding light throughout the entire process. From the moment I first consulted with him until the final resolution, Josh's expertise was evident every step of the way. One of the most commendable aspects of Josh's approach was his dedication to ensuring that I fully understood each phase of the divorce process. Divorce can be overwhelming, filled with legal jargon and procedures, but Josh took the time to break down every aspect in a way that was clear and accessible. He patiently answered all of my questions and addressed any concerns I had, providing reassurance and clarity when I needed it most. What truly sets Josh apart, however, is his dedication to making the divorce process as smooth and painless as possible. Thanks to his expertise and guidance, what could have been a daunting and emotionally taxing experience was instead manageable and, dare I say, somewhat bearable. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Josh highly enough for anyone in need of a divorce attorney. His compassion, expertise, and commitment to his clients make him an invaluable ally during what is undoubtedly a challenging time.

I hired John to be my lawyer after I was charged with a serious crime that I was no guilty of. John believed in me every step of the way and represented me with professionalism and honor. The communication from John and his office help to keep my family and I at ease. When it was clear my case would be going to trial John gave me all the facts so I could make an informed decision. During the lead up to the trial John laid out his strategy but let me make the final decision. After a trial I was found not guilty after a masterful defense from John. The jury deliberated for less than an hour and a half before returning their verdict. John is without a doubt the best in the business, lawyers came to my trial just to observe him at his work.

Timely correspondence, knowledge of family law, especially in custody matters, and actual care of the situation were all an 11 out of 10. They’re familiar with the area and all of the players involved. I was extremely impressed and incredibly grateful that Heidi and Amy were able to work on my case. They explained everything to me, answered all of my questions and were able to successfully get me the custody rights I deserved, and my children and I needed.

Heidi answered all my questions and helped me navigate what all I needed to do. After successful completion of the custody agreement she suggested I file support against my ex. I agreed and was astonished at how much I was owed in the 50/50 agreement.

Dedecker I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal support provided by Michael Dedecker during our adoption case. Facing a time-sensitive situation involving a novel law that most attorneys were hesitant to tackle, Michael stepped up to the challenge with unwavering dedication and professionalism. From the outset, Michael demonstrated his commitment to our case by exhaustively researching options and took time to seek the expertise when needed. Despite encountering dead ends in finding a more experienced attorney, Michael never wavered in his determination to assist us. He took it upon himself to thoroughly understand the complexities of the law in question and diligently gathered all necessary materials within an incredibly tight timeframe. When our case proceeded to trial, Michael's meticulous preparation and profound understanding of both the law and our circumstances were evident. He presented our case with confidence, clarity, and a depth of knowledge that instilled trust and assurance in us throughout the proceedings. Michael's unwavering support, professionalism, and expertise were invaluable assets throughout our legal journey. Thanks to his guidance and advocacy, we achieved a successful outcome that exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Dedecker to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable lawyer.

From the very beginning of our journey through the complex legal landscape of family law, Michael stood out as not just a lawyer, but as a beacon of hope for our family. Initially, we brought him on board for what was to be a de facto hearing. However, as our case evolved and became more intricate, Michael's role in our lives grew. Michael possessed an uncanny ability to simplify the convoluted legal processes we were facing. He meticulously broke down each step, ensuring we understood the implications and strategies at play. His approach was not just about guiding us legally but also about educating us, empowering us to make informed decisions throughout our case. Communication was one of Michael's strongest suits. He proactively kept us in the loop with every development, big or small. Whether it was through emails, phone calls, or in-person meetings, Michael made sure we were never left wondering what was happening with our case. His transparency built a foundation of trust that was invaluable during such a stressful time. Perhaps what set Michael apart the most was his calm and reassuring presence. Family law cases, especially those leading to adoption, are fraught with emotional highs and lows. Michael's steady demeanor was a constant source of comfort. Knowing he was on our side made the journey less daunting. His confidence and compassion alleviated much of the anxiety and uncertainty that often accompany legal battles. In the end, our case concluded more favorably than we could have ever imagined - we were able to adopt a child and officially welcome them into our family. This life-changing outcome was, without doubt, significantly influenced by Michael's unwavering dedication, profound expertise, and heartfelt commitment to our case. Choosing Michael as our attorney was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Not only did he navigate us through the legalities with unparalleled professionalism, but he also provided moral support that transcended the typical attorney-client relationship. For anyone facing the complexities of family law, especially those considering adoption, Michael is an exceptional choice. His impact on our family will be cherished forever.

I was in a not-at-fault auto accident in Colorado Springs, where I was rear-ended, and my car was totaled. After speaking with Mr. Clawson, I retained him as my attorney. Mr. Clawson and his team were courteous and professional and provided exceptional representation. I received a settlement more significant than I could have imagined. I highly recommend the Clawson Team for any bodily injury accident claim! The free initial consultation was also helpful! Thank you.

I highly recommend Clawson & Clawson! Mr. Clawson and the whole team were so helpful, understanding, and knew exactly how to get things done as related to my automobile accident. My medical bills added up quickly, and I never thought they would all be covered, let alone get money for me. I was amazed at the outcome. I received the best medical treatment, and my  expenses were covered.   I received more than I ever hoped to cover future needs. Thank you, Mr. Clawson!

Words can't even express the amount of gratitude I have for all of you. This court case has been so extremely stressful and I would have never gotten this far without you all! I woke up the day after court feeling such a relief and freedom, knowing I was finally heard in court and I feel like I'm finally capable of protecting my son the way I'm supposed to because of your help! Katrina, thank you so much for the multiple phone calls and emails and calming down my obsessive, projective mind. You always made me feel like I wasn't crazy and my feelings were valid and I knew anytime I spoke with you I'd feel better and you were always so on top of everything. Ms. James, thank you so much for all of the time and effort you spent doing what you do best. For sharing your confidence with me before court appearances when I was such a mess. For the amazing set of questions you asked me in court to let my whole story really be heard and for giving me a voice in court when I felt like I couldn't speak up for myself enough. You guys are all so amazing and I'm so grateful to have had you guys on my side for this battle.

I didn’t think I could hire an attorney due to my current circumstances, but All American Law made it happen! Both Attorneys Mr. Jeffries and Ms. James have been absolutely professional, understanding, and passionate throughout the entire process with my case. I know I wouldn’t be as happy with my case and situation if I didn’t hire AAL to help me. They are beyond worth everything you invest and pay for them to represent you 100%.

His laid-back style helped to ease my anxieties, while his firm’s prompt and efficient actions ensured that my case progressed swiftly and effectively. Throughout the proceedings, Eddie maintained a perfect balance between being approachable and proactive. He was always available to address my concerns, and his firm’s prompt responses and strategic advice were instrumental in achieving a favorable yet fair outcome.

I was gathering my thoughts to write this review of Sarah. All the accolades crossing my mind did not seem adequate. The gratitude I have for Sarah is immeasurable. I decided to read reviews already written. I could identify with some of the personal struggles that were written and understand the sincere sentiments of praise for Sarah. Truly a profound feeling because Sarah helped us navigate through a difficult chapter in our lives. Unfortunately, for most, divorce is not an easy journey especially if children are involved and your ex is difficult. IMHO, Sarah handled every situation with unwavering tenacity, utmost integrity and professionalism. A 5 star review is not enough. Count the stars in the sky and that is how many stars I would give Sarah.

WOW! I just don’t have the words to express how grateful I am that Attorney Marcus Sermons agreed to take on the lawsuits brought against me as the executor of my brother’s estate. I live in NH and my brother lived in Florida. Unfortunately, my brother’s biological and estranged child flew into Florida within 24 hrs of his death believing she was entitled to everything… regardless of his will and final wishes. Her deceitful and aggressive actions only added more sadness and trauma to the loss of my brother. I could say Attorney Sermons gave me 110% or 150% or 200% … but it was more than that. • First, he took on the case which was already messy from two previous attorneys… and I had been warned by a paralegal friend that no attorney would care to wade into a small, yet complicated estate lawsuit • Attorney Sermons’ calm, supportive demeanor brought me to tears immediately as I felt heard for the first time in more than a year • Attorney Sermons not only threw me a life raft, when I was too terrified to get in, he jumped into the water with me! What attorney does that? • He went above and beyond. He was available, heard me, was kind, and extremely patient as he worked to clarify the misinformation given to me by the two previous attorneys. I wish my brother had retained Attorney Marcus Sermons to create his will and final wishes. I wish I had found Attorney Marcus Sermons first, as I believe his expertise would have saved me from much of the pain and anguish I endured of having to navigate the hostility of a greedy spoiled child My advice to you… contact Attorney Sermons if need a competent, caring and ethical attorney.

Not only was he sincerely sympathetic to the passing of my loved one, but Marcus was overly helpful with getting my issue resolved in a timely manner. I was involved in every step that was made and he always made sure I understood what was happening. I thoroughly appreciate his kindness and hard work during the most difficult time of my life. Thank you Marcus and Maria for making this process as easy as possible. God Bless you all at Sermons Law.

I was living a nightmare for almost four years. I sold my home and the buyers' attorney fell for a scam e-mail, wiring my mortgage payoff to a fraudulent account at my servicing bank. All of the funds were completely withdrawn from the fraudulent account in a few days. I had no idea that any of this happened until the bank deducted a mortgage payment from my account weeks later. After my real estate attorney discovered what happened, the bank was notified of the fraud and told me not to worry, and that they would freeze the account until the situation was rectified. The buyers' attorney refused to take any responsibility, claimed to be a victim, and never notified the buyers that their home was subject to a lien from an unsettled mortgage. The local police and the FBI were notified and investigated and found that the scammers succeeded in getting the funds overseas. Everyone involved in the transaction denied responsibility and then the bank denied saying that they would freeze the account and referred me to collections, destroying my credit and putting my security clearance and livelihood at risk. I hired Tim and PLG to represent me in this matter, and when the bank refused to even discuss what had happed, he filed a civil suit on my behalf. Tim and PLG were relentless in fighting for me and helping me navigate through dealing with my employer as my clearance was in jeopardy. Were it not for Tim, I would have lost my clearance and my job. Unfortunately, there is little recourse for victims of this type of fraud and it is impossible to fight major banks, insurance companies, and attorneys without having the best on your side. I was lucky to have Tim and PLG on my side and I received a favorable outcome. Tim is passionate about what he does, seeking justice for his clients, fighting for "the little guy"! I hope no one ever has to go through what I did, but if you do, you need Parlatore Law Group in your corner!

1 word = INCREDIBLE! On the day of court, as I was dropped off at the front of the courthouse, with his magnificent, precise, and sheer confident work, Jay had my case dismissed before my family found parking. Jaw dropping, I know. Jay is 1 of the best attorneys I have ever met. Not only does he have an extensive knowledge in law, his passion for law brings him up to a level of vastness that is above and beyond many in his field. Education is what makes a competent lawyer. When you add cunning and savvy on top is when you get Jay Mykytiuk. It was MY pleasure to have him as counsel and should you be so lucky to have such a bulletproof defence. If you look up the word APPRECIATIVE in a thesaurus you will find all the synonyms that describe counselor Mykytiuk at all times. Such humbleness to match his fiery and exemplary way of winning. If you want a vanquished case, Jay is your man. It is imperative that you acquire him as council, if you want pure triumphant victory, because everything he does is a magnificent conquest. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this experience a memorable, in a good way, slam - dunk counselor.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
