I came to Michael and Deanna to help me with an adoption case and they pulled through with what was promised from the beginning. The entire office staff was very knowledgeable and they helped us out so much. They communicated everything back to us in such a timely manner. What I thought was going to be a very hard process turned into a walk in the park for me and my family because they worked their magic on the backend with the court. They fought hard for my husband to adopt my oldest and they won the case. Appreciate the girls in office who knew so much and took our calls and delivered our messages to the attorneys. Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very understanding team.

Simply put…Navy Seals talk about “The line.” You never call attorneys because things are going well. You call them when things aren’t and you need the help. In Family law, like medicine, the margin of error is zero and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Be it a child custody issue, a financial issue an emergency motion/filing or any other aspect of family law litigation: I’ve put this firm up to the task against some of the largest and most reputable law firms in the state. They are honest, they are fair, they are prompt and are more than knowledgeable about the ins and outs of Illinois family law, they represent you with integrity compassion and most importantly the understanding that every case is different. When my initial attorney retired he said if I needed help: this is who I’d call. Deanna and Michael and their team have helped me through the years over a myriad of complex legal issues and at every point at every turn no matter the problem they adapted, they improvised and most importantly: they overcame. Their staff is always knowledgeable about your case, court dates and any updates. They most certainly always have operated “Above the Line.”

Exceptional Legal Representation - Highly Recommend Matthew A. Wood & Litico Law Group! Before finding Litico Law Group, I reached out to several attorneys, only to be met with unreturned calls and delays. It was frustrating- —until I contacted Attorney Matthew A. Wood. From the very first call, I received an immediate response, and that level of professionalism and attentiveness remained consistent throughout my entire case. I had a legal matter where I lacked formal documentation-only a verbal contract with supporting text messages as proof. Attorney Wood and his team not only took my case seriously but also provided me with an invaluable resource that allowed me to download all my text messages from my cell phone onto a transcript, strengthening my case significantly. What truly stood out was the level of organization and communication. I received written and emailed documentation with all my court dates and appointments, along with a clear explanation of the judge's expectations. Every step of the way, Attorney Wood ensured I was informed and prepared. We also discussed what to expect next, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. I also want to give a special thanks to David K. Radkin, who was always available for my questions and concerns. His support and responsiveness made a huge difference, ensuring I never felt lost or uncertain about my case. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, I was able to navigate my legal situation with clarity and a strong strategy. If you're looking for an attorney who is responsive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your case, I highly recommend Matthew A. Wood, David K. Radkin, and the entire team at Litico Law Group. They go above and beyond, and I am incredibly grateful for their exceptional service!

I cannot recommend this car accident lawyer firm enough! From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive and truly customer-oriented. Their professionalism and dedication were evident at every step of the process. They maintained excellent communication throughout, always keeping me informed and answering all my questions promptly. What impressed me the most was how seamlessly they handled my case. They provided top-notch representation in court, and thanks to their expertise, my case was dismissed without any hassle or negative impact on my record. They made what could have been a stressful experience completely painless. If you’re looking for a legal team that genuinely cares about their clients and delivers outstanding results, this is the one. Thank you so much for everything!

Navigating a high-conflict divorce and custody battle over three years was one of the most challenging experiences of my life, but having David as my lawyer made all the difference. My ex was consistently difficult, unwilling to co-parent, and often argued for things he didn’t truly want, which dragged out the process and made it emotionally exhausting. Through it all, David remained calm, professional, and incredibly effective in handling both my ex and his legal team. David was a phenomenal advocate for me, especially during trial. He was extremely well-prepared, confident, and thorough. His ability to present my case clearly and effectively in court was instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome. On a personal level, David’s support was equally important. The prolonged process took a toll on my mental and emotional health, but every time I spoke with him, I felt reassured and confident that I was in good hands. He genuinely cares about his clients and takes the time to explain the legal process, making sure you understand every step. His patience and dedication never wavered, even during the most stressful moments. I cannot recommend David highly enough for anyone going through a high-conflict divorce or custody proceedings. His professionalism, honesty, and compassion set him apart, and his years of experience in family law are evident in everything he does. If you want a lawyer who will fight for you and your child’s best interests while providing unwavering support, David is the one to call.

Words simply don’t do enough to express my genuine gratitude for Young and her Teams support in handling my husbands immigration case. We first connected with Young about a year ago to adjust my husband’s status as he overstayed his visa. I found Young through my legal insurance offered by my job with MetLife, Young acted quickly once we contacted her office and shared our love story and its legal challenges of immigration. Young became enthralled with our story and was confident that she could help us adjust my husband’s status, and assist with all applicable applications. Young is an expert Immigration Attorney! She is extremely efficient and knowledgeable, and helped us tremendously with all the immigration procedures. We had some interesting bumps along the way, not the fault of our wonderful attorney, but by USCIS itself. Young stood right beside us, literally and figuratively to ensure we understood all legal matters and future proceedings. It was an emotionally exhausting case since we had a surprising second interview, with too many complexities involved to understand, but Young and her team, along with their strategic thinking and bold advocacy helped us achieve a favorable outcome. In the height of political turmoil, this process was simply draining, and I mean real tears at times. Young instilled so much faith and reassurance in my husband and myself, we interviewed with confidence. Exceptional service and results is an understatement, I can go on and on, maybe even chapters! I’m beyond grateful, what a friend she has in me forever and beyond! Now we can travel, worry free and experience all the world has to offer together. Simply amazing, and highly recommend!

Bryan stepped in and stepped up for us in a very professional and responsive manner. He was understanding to our frustrations when the other party was dragging things out and was very proactive. We had many hurdles since none of us lived in the same state and then Covid added delays. Bryan helped us finally get a resolution that we were all happy with. Thank you Bryan

Well, I actually started my case with a public defender. But as we all know the Pc's job is to try and get the defendant to take a plea. All attorneys in K3 co. run together, so how do I receive a fair trial? Call Attorney O'Connor. Filled out a questionnaire online and within minutes got a call! I'm very impressed with his professional outlook on my case. Made sure I understood everything. I will leave another review as my case continues. Mind you, I'm scared outta my mind. Never had charges like this, but Attorney O'Connor made me feel better after speaking with him. And he didn't try to get thousands of dollars out of my account. Gave me an affordable down payment price. I'm going with this man for the big win!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Bill and his team in the past 5 years on my successful petitions to obtain Permanent Residency (including Removal of Conditions on PR) and eventually Citizenship. Bill gained my full trust with his professionalism, experience, knowledge and compassion at our very first meeting. His plan of action and approach to the matter was simply excellent and it gave me huge comfort knowing that I had Bill on my side during this process. My case was a tricky one from the start and it got even more complex when I was faced with a federal tax issue during the pending petitions. Bill also came in to the rescue with the tax issue and thanks to his surgically precise referral, I was able to fix this issue on time. Bill is a fantastic immigration attorney and human and I would highly recommend him to anybody who is looking for the best representation. Looking forward to working with Bill and his team for future petitions for my family.

Denise Patton was excellent, profession, compassionate, understanding, and straight to the point with our adoption case. Always was available either by phone or email night or day (due to our schedules). She is one of the most hard working honest attorneys that we have ever done business with. Denise knew every detail of our case and was always prompt, organized, and ready for court and/or trial. She was very dedicated to our family during the 10 months that she was working with us. We could not ask for someone more special and dedicated to our family.

My wife and I first contacted Denise a couple years ago as we got on track and into the process of a domestic adoption. Denise was very prompt in her responses to our questions, encouraged us, and was very friendly with each contact. We decided at that time that Denise was definitely our go-to adoption lawyer. Fast forward a couple years, and my wife and I were anxiously waiting for the birth of our adopted son via an ideal open adoption situation. We had befriended both birthmom and birthdad, and our agency, social workers, and Denise were all wonderful. As we got into the tangle of legal documents and procedures, Denise helped us at every step and was extremely detail-oriented. For example, her instructions and guidance for our court appearance left no stone unturned. It was a welcome piece of communication from her and included dress, family attendance, camera and phone policy in court, waiting area, where to park, how to get there, the importance and sensitivity of being on time... the list goes on. For an adoptive family, for whom the process is likely to be the first time (like us), this was most appreciated. Our adoption was finalized without a hiccup. A month later we received new birth certificates, but the state made several errors on them. Though we had paid Denise a long time before and were well "off-the-clock", Denise promptly told us what we needed to do. We followed her directions, and a week later we had newly issued and correct birth certificates. Now, several months later, as difficult and as much work, time, and effort as it all was, we look back and think, "Ah, that wasn't so bad." Our experience, in total, took a long time, probably much longer than the average adoption, but our experience and outcome were next to ideal. My wife and I both have no doubt that our selection of Denise was the right choice. We highly recommend her to any adoptive family for legal counsel and assistance. Thanks again, Denise!

Michael Chapski represented me over the last 18 months in dealing with the aftermath of a long separation and challenging divorce. From the time Michael accepted my case, I knew I was in capable hands. I was referred to Michael through another respected attorney in town because of his knowledge, track record of success, compassion and respect in the legal community. From the beginning, Michael was my voice in the courtroom. He worked closely with me on strategy so we could avoid trial and negotiate a fair settlement. He was extremely attentive and provided email responses and court updates within 24 hours. On the final day of prove up, I was proud to walk into that courtroom with Michael by my side. He absolutely commands the respect of the court with his professionalism and legal knowledge. Through his compassion, professionalism and just pure kindness, Michael made this journey for me bearable. I will forever be grateful to Michael and his firm.

I'd highly recommend Mike for anyone entering the divorce process. He's extremely knowledgeable of the law, always quick to respond, can be tough when he needs to be, but also serves to keep his cool in what can be some emotional circumstances. I was referred to Mike by a friend, also an attorney, who had known him for many years, and advised that he liked, trusted, and respected Mike. And, after working with Mike through the weeds of the divorce process, I can say that my friend's referral was truly justified. Mike's a very good attorney and a very good man.

I can't begin to state enough positive things about Mike. My divorce was extremely contentious. My ex-wife lost her custodial parenting rights. She was not even awarded court supervised visits with my children. My ex went through three attorneys, while Mike continued to be a stabilizing influence, advocate and voice of reason through the most difficult time in my life. Mike immediately responded to calls, messages and even texts. He was very open, honest and did not present false, or unlikely outcomes. Quite honestly, Mike is very much a person who over delivers. We had a terrible Guardian ad litem assigned to my divorce. The GAL was absolutely determined to have the kids remain with their mother, even though she was the perpetrator of unspeakable child abuse. Mike managed this issue in a wonderful manner, assured the kids were well protected and that I was well represented. Mike's rates are fair. There is absolutely no over billing. I highly recommend Mike! Also, the staff at Chapski Law was always kind and very responsive. All very good people to work with!

I got in touch with Attorney Ray based on his reviews and that little voice inside us all.

Attorney Ray is the real deal. He is professional, to the point, very knowledgeable, and doesn't mince words, if you are looking for sugar coating he isn't your guy. But if you want an "A" game attorney, he's at another level compared to others I have worked with. His fees are more than fair, and Attorney Ray really cares. If you want it done right, see Attorney Donald Ray.

It was a pleasure having Attorney Donald E. Ray represent me in my divorce. He is a good listener, communicator and able to weed through what was actually pertinent to my case. He is direct and to the point. His rates are fair and his quote was accurate. I highly recommend him.

I interviewed several lawyers and all were great, however what set Shana apart from the rest is she understood my case and fears and showed she wanted to help me protect my children. She knew that my children were my priority and she never lost sight of that. Together we accomplished my goal at 110%. Her team she has behind her is responsive and very well orginized and never delayed a filing or delivery of documents to me and communicated the opposing sides responses to me immediatly. I filded just before covid lock down of 12/2019 so this took a bit longer than she had said it would--court being shut down, this was not something she could foresee, regardless we still worked on bulding our case and getting all documents shared--she used the time of shut down to orginize and stratigize my case. When I felt like it wasnt going well, she assured me of the process and that we were on target. Trust her and the process!! It might take a bit longer than you want--but when there are children and assets involved it takes a lawyer who is calm and expirenced--Thats Shana!!

Shana is a compassionate and a very professional attorney. She helped me navigate my divorce as well as a lawsuit later on. Shana is very objective, straight forward and makes the whole process very smooth. She made sure the process moved along fast, explained the process well to make sure I have a full understanding of my rights. She is not rushing to lawsuits, and has a very calming and soothing personality, which make the client very comfortable in a middle of chaos. I highly recommend her.

Shana Vitek ad. her team represented me in finalizing my divorce. Due to Covid, the Cook County courts appearances were all conducted via Zoom. Shana was diligent, thorough, and persistent in getting through the frustrating process of working with the court system via Zoom Calls. The presiding judge was unreasonable, rude, and quick to set unnecessary continuances. Thankfully, Shana and her team remained focused and resilient and were able to finalize my divorce. I would strongly recommend using Shana Vitek if you are considering a divorce.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible legal representation I received from Ronald Bell. He is an absolute rockstar in the world of family law and asset division. My case involved the most delicate matters - children and assets. It was a very challenging and emotional journey, but thanks to Ronald Bell’s expertise and dedication, it ended more favorably than I could have ever hoped for. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt a sense of assurance and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. Ronald Bell took the time to listen to every detail of my situation and clearly guided me on the best course of action. Throughout the entire process, Ronald Bell demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge and experience in family law. He left no stone unturned in preparing and executing my case, always ensuring that I was well-informed and comfortable every step of the way. What truly sets Ronald Bell apart is his unwavering commitment to his clients. He was not just my lawyer; he became my advocate and a true source of support during what was without a doubt one of the most difficult and challenging times I have faced. His dedication to my case was evident in his tireless work ethic, attention to detail, and effective communication. Not to mention, he really does care!! A LOT!!! When it came to negotiations and courtroom proceedings, Ronald Bell was a force to be reckoned with. His confidence and poise in the courtroom were remarkable, and it was evident that he had earned the respect of his peers (and everyone else in the courtroom). Ultimately, the outcome of my case greatly exceeded my expectations, and it was all thanks to Ronald Bell. He fought tirelessly to protect my interests and secure the best possible future for my children and me. I wholeheartedly recommend Ronald Bell to anyone facing family law issues. These situations are tough, and you need the very best by your side. He is not just an attorney, but a compassionate advocate, a legal genius, and a true champion for his clients. If you want the best possible outcome for your case, Ronald Bell is the lawyer you need. Thank you, Ron, for everything you've done for me and my family. You are a true legal superstar, and I am forever grateful.

Divorce is painful and emotional and if you're like me, you don't know much about the process and don't really have the headspace to learn all about it while it is happening to you...Ron's parting words at my first consult with him were, "The best thing you can do is pretend like you are asleep for the next 6-12 months and let me handle things." Those words were so true. I didn't always want to listen to them, but being 5 months post divorce and still dealing with some issues with opposing parties not living up to the terms of the MSA, Ron is still in my corner. I don't think I realized how good he and his team are until recently. Discussing my agreement with divorcees has shown me that Ron helped me reach a fair deal that allows me to move on in life with confidence and financial stability and do the right thing for my children and he kept emotion out of it which is so important in negotiation for separating assets and in my case a lot of liabilities. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Bell and his team to anyone in need of advice and guidance and council during the process of divorce. Thank you Ron and team for working with me!

Angela is everything you want and need in a lawyer if you want the best lawyer possible to win your case. I say that because Angela has helped tremendously and everything anyone would hope to have in a lawyer: super intelligent; highly experienced; successful; truly cares about your case; extremely committed to you and your case success by working day and night and everything else Angela can possibly do to win your case; always extremely impressive in court with presentation, knowledge, quick analytical / legal thinking that screws up opposing councels whole case. Angela will not only impress you but also the judge and opposing lawyers that she is an expert lawyer, extremely passionate, knows her clients case better then anyone else in the room, fights like no other lawyer you could possibly get to win your case. If that is not a description for the best lawyer what is. I love it when Angela makes opposing lawyers look like amateurs struggling to figure out what to do next due to Angela's legal intelligence and unique ability to completely destroy opposing lawyers strategy to the point where they don't know what to do or what to ask and clearly struggling. Do yourself a favor and call Angela. Angela is simply the best.

I get recommended by a different lawyer. It's all started when we have a case of asylum in california with no end. She was able successfully to move the case from California to Illinois. After it has been in California court for over 7 years with no results from California lawyers. We We're able to get a consultation with Ms. Mosley and we felt Confident enough to hire her, so we did. That was the best decision that we ever made. Within 2 years she moved the asylum court to the migration office. Covid came in stopped a lot of back logs, but she was on top of things Constantly contacting the immigration office about the update and informers of what needs it from us to do. She made everything in ease.We even had the fingerprint done. And she gives us all the contact of the doctors.What do we need to do with the physical? We give her everything and she just took care of it. And now, after 2 years we just received the green card and she was even on top of it. Before we receive the card, she sent us an email of approval from the immigration office. Her staff was always inform us if we have any questions. She always answered the phones and answered all the emails without a delay. ... I highly recommend her and her staff for all what you have an issue with whether it's a migration problem or asylum problem. She is the best of the best, and she worth every single penny.

After 5 years Scott was able to get him off the Juvenile Sexual Registration then get his record fully expunged. My son is able to have a second chance. Scott was very caring and showed a lot of compassion. He communicated with us constantly. I truly wish we had Scott from the very beginning of this nightmare. I highly recommend him for any legal issues you might have. Thank you Scott for all you did for our family.

After the accident. My husband and I were stresses at the idea of getting legal advice and help for the uphill battle that is liability. My son told us about this law firm and we thought to give them a try. Not a day goes by that we aren't greatful for their intervention. Everytime we came for our appointment we were treated almost like family. The atmosphere and the lawyers treated us so familiar, and the food they served us was delicious. Personally the therapy sessions the insurance got us from our accident were perfect. I still do the exercises from the appointments at home and they have greatly improved my overall physical health since. From the administration to the lawyers, the entire firm from my experience was so humble and ready to help in answering all of our questions. They handled our case like the professional, intelligent, and overall good-natured individuals they have displayed themselves and their law firm to be. Thank you so much for taking our case and helping us through a hard time. It is reassuring to find able help that cares on such a deep level as you all!

Absolutely a stellar experience with this office and the associates. Jason Tong was in charge of my case and he walked me through the whole thing from start to finish. He stayed on top of it and made sure everything was taken care of. The stress of the foreclosure was off of me and I just had to do what he told me to and when. It was such a much easier process with him at the helm and leading the communications with the mortgage company. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re needing a lawyer for a foreclosure, I highly recommend going with this firm. You will get the highest level of experience and care from start to finish and excellent communication and the best possible outcome. So much less stress than trying to navigate this yourself.

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?
