Mr. Kelly was excellent. He played a perfect "chess match". Our was a difficult situation because it involved family members. Mr. Kelly gave me nothing less than perfect legal, business and even personal advice. He is very technology savvy and is exteremly capable of working and communicating effectively with an out of state client. Great job John!

I found Mr. Kelly to be totally competent regarding his preparation an knowledge of the facts of my case. Mr. Kelly's trial techniques were no less than astounding. This is the second occasion where either myself or the company I represented hired Mr. Kelly. His track record continues to be 100%
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services and of equal importance use his services again if a need arises.

I was referred to John Kelly by a colleague of his for a rather complex case. John gave it the needed attention and was able to review and get around the various aspects of the case in order to distill it to the basic legal issues. John Kelly's resources, experience and expertise lead to a successful result. Very satisfied.

Matt Ferguson, Michelle Schindler, and their team are great to work with. They provided professional, strategic, and aggressive representation to our firm in a complex, multi-faceted case. Everyone in their organization acted as both advisors and teammates throughout. I would absolutely work with them again and would recommend them to others seeking counsel.

Chip is a no-nonsense attorney that helped us during an $11M forward triangular merger and negotiated a large cash component. He has a Colombo-style inquisitiveness that gets to the bottom of every deal. Great to have him on your side.

Jeff was very great in helping me when I really needed a legal advice, he spoke with me as though he has known me for years, which makes me feel he was God's send just to put me on the right track I needed to be on, Ever since I spoke with Jeff, My hope has been updated, I feel I have someone I can talk with, God connected me with Jeff on Google, I was so heartbreaking, I log on to Google and too many names shows up but something in me said Jeff ,right there I called him and trust me that's was one of the best decision I have made. I told him I will not regret having him as my Immigration attorney in the future. Thanks Jeff and keep up the great job.

I've gone through 3 different lawyers before I was lucky enough to reach out to Jeff. Jeff helped my LLC negotiate through some tricky contract agreements with another tech firm, and was just an absolute pleasure to work with the whole time. On top of this, he went above and beyond by giving in-depth strategic legal advice on navigating my company in the future as well. Going forward, I'll absolutely be retaining him for any further legal needs. Easily the best lawyer I've ever worked with.

Jeff is an excellent business lawyer. He helped us, when I was Vice President with Total Site Solutions, with our employee contracts, non-compete and non-disclosure agreements, vendor and consultant contracts, and related lease negotiations and drafting. He was efficient, always understanding exactly what we wanted. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking an experienced corporate attorney.

I had three very bad experiences with previous lawyers. I did a lot of research before I called Sam. Key to me calling him was the content of the other reviews found here. As it turns out I didn't actually retain his services--in large part due to the fact that he was honest and forthright enough to explain that his area of comfort and expertise was actually not what I needed. He spoke to me for a significant amount of time over the phone while extremely ill. He called a peer to refer me to and actually called me back with that information just like he said he would. Even though I didn't actually hire him I would highly recommend him. He was extremely personal, respectful, compassionate and H.O.N.E.S.T. And as a complete laginappe--he's from Mississippi. Sam, God Bless You! You give me hope for your profession.

I am an archaeologist with an international profile (see my profile in the London Times website entitled "The Real-life Indiana Jones and the Mansion of Doom"). I have been keenly interested in Homer and his great epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, and I created a multifaceted project to celebrate and research Homer, called The Homeric Project (homericproject.com). A part of that effort was to conduct archaeological fieldwork on a Greek island, searching for the lost Palace of Odysseus from the Odyssey. As part of my overall research on Homer, I believe I have discovered a lost code involving sacred symbolic numbers that Homer, I believe, intentionally incorporated into both his epic poems. I wrote up my research, with my new discoveries, in a research paper entitled, "The Mystery of Homer's Numbers," which I copyrighted with the US Copyright Office in 2013.
The reason I retained Mr. Lauson was due to the following. I was conducting my field work in Greece with a colleague, with whom I also spent time writing on a projected book about the project. I had a falling-out with that colleague and terminated the joint project (including the book). In a subsequent letter from the colleague, a claim was made that she had filed a joint co-authorship of my "Homer's Numbers" paper with the US Copyright Office and it was implied that it had not only been applied for, but had actually been accepted and was in force. Therefore, my former colleague made those claims, which were not true. Since I could not stand to have such claims made on my original research, my discoveries and my paper -- and especially after my ex-colleague had an attorney send me a letter re-affirming the false claims -- I was forced to seek a professional attorney to defend me, my work and my reputation. I'm glad I found Mr. Robert Lauson because he did an outstanding job in straightening the mess out. He reviewed the facts I gave him, including a copy of my 2013 copyright which pre-dates the alleged copyright of 2014 by a year. His due diligence also disclosed that my ex-colleague did not submit my paper for copyright as stated. In fact, the copyright was not submitted until May 6 of this year (2015). Mr. Lauson completely agreed with my position on the whole matter and, unlike my ex-colleague's attorney who wrote an inaccurate and disparaging letter to me, Mr. Lauson wrote him back a very professional letter factually pointing out all the "misrepresentations" that my ex-colleague's attorney had stated based on the wrong information he had received from his client. Mr. Lauson also quoted in the same letter the legal precedents which supported my rightful legal interpretation of the case. Furthermore, and subsequent to that letter, Mr. Lauson was proactive with the US Copyright Office and got them to reject my ex-colleague's attempt to make a claim on my exclusive intellectual property. Hopefully that good action will have the effect of being a final termination to the attempt to make any claims on my original research and written research paper.
In short, Attorney Robert Lauson was cordial, very professional and knowledgeable about how to handle my case. Moreover, he did an outstanding job of dealing with my adversary's attorney and with straightening out the situation with the US Copyright Office, that resulted in a decision by it in my favor. I can't thank him enough for his good work, which has not only set the record straight but has gone a long way to restoring my peace of mind about my original work and my career.

I was intimidated to speak with a lawyer about an area of the law that was totally foreign to me but I needed a professional opinion of my idea and the likelihood of obtaining a patent. It was as important to me to get an assessment, as it was to learn as much as could about the process. I did not want to drop my idea on a desk and wait for results.
A friend of mine referred me to Bob. I knew at the end of our first appointment that he fit my requirements. He explained that his job is to
interpret the Patent Law and apply it to my idea, so that if necessary, modifications can me made to be successful with the Patent Office. He made suggestions that gave me food for thought, including that I should consider a trademark for the name.
I was very comfortable speaking with him and liked that he took the time to
teach me. I left his office feeling good and knowing what I needed to do to
keep rolling, what to expect, and that I made contact with a friendly lawyer
that will guide me without me being intimidated.
Since that appointment, he has communicated with me often to make sure
we are progressing.
I would recommend him to anyone seeking a patent.

Pamela is a gem! I’m so happy I found her and her services. As a new business owner it can be stressful to find the right partners. I also had a limited budget and was cautious about making an investment with someone I could trust. Pamela was so enjoyable to connect with and also very knowledgeable, organized, and generous. Don’t hesitate to hire her. You won’t be disappointed!

Matthew was a shining star when I felt so lost and overwhelmed in the business partnership I was in. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Matthew. He was so kind, so helpful, and so professional. He explained everything to me thoroughly and in terms I could understand.

Matthew helped me draw up contracts for my music business. I understood very basic levels of what I needed and he took my basic needs and created amazing templates for me to use for all future bookings and music that we obtain. Additionally he explained in great detail each section of the contracts so I knew what I was giving my artists. It was a very enjoyable and educational experience. I will recommend Matthew any time I know of somebody looking for quality legal work.

Matthew Batista assisted me with matters of the Fair Housing Act. Over the course of a month, he gave me professional counsel and was able to break the law down and explain it to me in understandable terms. He went above and beyond, drafting me written correspondence for my communication with my landlord, and explained the applicable law to further my knowledge about the issue, making my points of communication with my landlord streamlined and compelling. He made himself available for advice whenever I needed him while being approachable and understanding. Mr. Batista is the most professional lawyer I have sought out and I’ll be coming to him with any further matters.

I retained, Attorney Joel Huotari of WilliamsMcCarthy law firm, for what turned out to be a challenging and lengthy civil case. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions. Joel is an exceptional attorney, who handled my legal matters with the professionalism, integrity, and responsiveness that attains results. He provided sound guidance and devised a strategy that ultimately ended in a positive outcome. He truly cared about my feelings and was very supportive during this emotional time. A kinder. more dedicated attorney will be hard to find, if not impossible. Joel is an attorney you can always depend on.
I would highly recommend this firm, and more specifically, Attorney Joel M. Huotari, if you're looking for a superior litigation attorney who brings top-notch expertise to the table. My gratitude to him will last a lifetime!

Joel defended me in a defamation case which featured additional claims under the Illinois Right of Publicity Act, 765 ILCS 1075/1 and allegations of intentional infliction of emotional distress. He succeeded in getting the case dismissed, and won a ruling that the plaintiff committed which ruling was upheld on appeal.

Mr. Furtado was instrumental in our successful resolution of a large hail damage claim against the insurance company. He was extremely knowledgeable and his advice and strategy was absolutely client focused. His main objective was to get our damages covered. Most attorneys in this field seem to be focused on getting a reasonable settlement with with as little effort as possible. Others we interviewed were not as passionate or knowledgeable and were clearly focused on a quick settlement and little effort on their part. David understood our real need to get a new roof etc and kept this at the forefront and was willing to keep fighting until we were satisfied. Next time I will skip the public adjuster and go straight to David Furtado's firm.

We hired David to deal with a franchise we were involved with. David was the only lawyer in town that understood the case and what to do. They were trying to charge us a large sum of money. David was able to get us a desired outcome. This would not have been possible without him. Best lawyer we have come across that knows what he is doing.

David helped me with a domestic violence case that was complicated by exaggerated claims from the victim. My desired outcome was a deferred judgement which was not happening as long as the court had reason not to. David used extensive knowledge of procedural motions and the prosecution to gain victory after many months of work.
It was costly. But I am convinced I could have paid much more or worse, ended up with a domestic violence conviction permanently on my record.

I met Michael first in 2012 while prepping a film we were shooting in Denver. At first he was kind enough to volunteer his time to help us get a tax rebate, which he successfully did. A few days prior to principal photography we ran into trouble with one of the financiers, which threatened to collapse the financing. To make a long story short, we officially hired him and he rectified the situation and forced the financier to fulfill his obligation and saved the production
We hired him again recently to review and modify a few production contracts and again did a terrific job.

Mike is a true professional! I hired him to oversee all my personal and business legal matters. He is thorough, knowledgable, reliable and easy to work with. I always felt he had my best interests in mind and trusted his advice. Though he handled several of my business contracts, one that specifically comes to mind was a client who kept changing his mind and adding or subtracting negotiation points. I was getting extremely confused and frustrated. Mike was able to calm me down and help see the negotiation process through to final contract. What made this even more memorable and appreciated was that he availed himself to me and the client all through the holiday time between Christmas and the new year because the client was at a time crunch to finalize the contract. Like doctors that won't make house calls anymore, finding that kind of customer service from an attorney is also, for most cases, a lost benefit. Though I have relocated to a different state now, Mike will be the attorney I will call first for legal advice.

I hired Mr. Rose a couple months ago to help with a legal situation I had been dealing with for a while. Although reaching out to several different attorneys, Mr. Rose was the only one who was attentive enough to make me feel that he had my best interest in mind. He was attentive to every detail and he truly had a sense of urgency with dealing with my case—which helped ease my mind. Legal cases can be very stressful, but I must say Mr. Rose was very patient with all my questions and constantly made himself available to address my concerns. On top of his expertise in crisis management and his professionalism, he was very personable which made it easier to discuss any problems or frustrations I had with my case. Mr. Rose will definitely be my attorney of choice if I ever find myself in a legal mess again.

The consultation I received was not only thorough, it was concise and made me feel confident in the overall plan. Aurielle goes above and beyond and combs through the task at hand, communicates and gets the job done. She was also to come up with plenty of alternatives to some of the obstacles we came across. I would recommend Aurielle to anyone that needs to get the job done, without having to worry if it will be completed correctly. Her personality made the experience even more enjoyable. She offered a sense of relief when I saw how relatable she was and understood the goal I had in mind. I will definitely be hiring Aurielle again in the future.
