Tyler called me within 30 minutes of sending my message, and offered me a free consultation over the phone. He even called the next day to follow up with me to see if I needed anything else after his advice. I have not had to hire counsel yet, but if I do he has offered to take my case and I will definitely be hiring him if I need an attorney.

After being a passenger in a car accident, the insurance company barely wanted to cover medical costs. I hired Tyler and I was very happy with the outcome. I noticed a sign outside the building that the law firm also covered divorce cases. My then-husband was blocking my diy divorce proceedings, so I hired Tyler. He handled all of the difficult aspects and I got what I wanted.

I was referred to JKLF by Legalshield. I hired them to handle my divorce. Boyd Roberts along with his assistant Trudy went above and beyond my expectations. Trudy worked a lot of late hours drawing up paperwork and making sure everything was documented correctly. If she had a question she'd call me direct to verify. She's very respectful and a hard worker. Boyd is a no BS attorney but absolutely professional at the same time. He knows the law and uses it rather than getting angry and talking smack. We imposed sanctions 2 or 3 different times because my ex wife and her attorney were doing nothing to move it along. They weren't getting paperwork and documents to us that the judge ordered. We ended up settling outside of court, she agreed to a cash settlement and I kept my whole retirement account. Boyd and/or Trudy drew up the settlement agreement and still always promptly answered any questions i had. Boyd was always 2 steps ahead of her attorney thro the whole process even tho she filed the divorce. He was reasonable and fair, always knew what to expect and how to handle each situation. Thank you!

I was recently looking for a personal injury attorney. After scouring the web I began to lose hope that I would find an attorney for personal injury that I felt was trustworthy and hardworking enough to take my case. I finally stumbled upon Jason Cook and I took a chance and decided to reach out to him. I was thoroughly impressed with his qualifications, background, and his ability to effectively communicate his suggestions in a way that was easy for me to understand. He made me feel like I was taken care of and gave me peace of mind that I could trust his legal advice. I highly recommend Jason Cook to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney. Jason’s passion to succeed and help others is so obvious in his work ethic and the way that he interacts with people. Jason Cook is an incredible attorney and I was very pleased with his hard work ethic.

I was in an automobile accident that was triggered by a 'phantom car' (that is what it was defined as because it left and no one had any information on it), was a passenger in a car that was not mine, had a major concussion and was unconscious for a few days. All of this in a different state. Mr. Richmond took my case. I have been very impressed with Mr. Richmonds' honesty and professionalism. I really appreciate the time he takes to explain and help me understand where my case is at. Then proceed to make sure I understand what the following steps are going to be taken to keep the case moving forward. He makes it look easy.

I spent 18 yrs dealing with attorneys who did nothing to assist me in my nightmare with my ex-wife putting me further and further into debt and despair. Every time I turned around the ex was taking me back to court for one reason or another regardless that she received a excellent support and extra expense funds from me, even when our boys lived with me full time for a year. Over the years I had numerous attorneys, none who fought for me or even cared about the truth. None of them went into court prepared to fight, to prove the truth. For example, my ex took me to court stating I owed over $1000 in back child support. This was false as the money was automatically taken out of my paycheck each pay period. My attorney at that time told me it was only $1000 and I should just pay it. He was fired. The years continued with similar attorneys, even those I spent more money on because they weren't local. Every time we would go to court I would be the one that put hours into going over financial statements and bills for myself and I would constantly have to whisper in my attorney's ear during court letting them know what was being said wasn't true and that my ex was lying about her financial situation., Nothing was said, nothing changed and I had to sit there while the judge bought the lies and deceit and awarded her more money each time. I ended up having to work 2 side jobs while holding down a full time career, so my new wife and I could survive. My ex was engaged living in his home paying his double mortgage payments each month to pay his home off quicker because they had all of my money on top of theirs. Not to mention the injustice because in court she claimed she paid a high priced mortgage but it was not her home and it was high priced because by choice, they were paying double. No attorney, prior to Ms. Gorham, ever brought that out in court. At one time, with the incorrect advice of a previous attorney, I ended up over paying my ex $15000 in a 3 year span and a judge awarded it was a "gift". Frustrated, at the end of my rope, I found and retained Sarah, not really having any expectations. All I can say is WOW! Sarah kept me informed with every little detail, she took notes and went over every little thing that others had ignored. I was shocked at how well she went over all the financial statements I made, as well as my ex's. This was typically never done by any previous attorney. Ms. Gorham remembered details that I had not and it was all brought out in court...even finding my ex-wife in contempt (something no other attorney attempted to do). Sarah not only won my case but with the truth finally out in the open, even the judge apologized for what I had been through. I still can't believe I finally had justice and I am forever grateful. Sarah is caring, thorough, professional and diligent and I would highly recommend her. During my 18 years of constant battles with an ex-wife I gave up on getting a fair shot in court, until Sarah came to represent me. I tell everyone I know about her and what an excellent attorney and person she truly is

I also refer many real estate clients to him as I am a real estate broker, and all of my clients sing his praises. Michael is an attorney you want on your side. 1) He is always available to talk, email or text. This is not very common amongst attorneys, especially real estate attorneys. 2) He is a problem-solver. Several times, he has come up with solutions to problems that no one else considered. 3) Michael is a man of integrity. Quite simply, I trust him and my clients do too.

I was referred to Paulette and was told that she was the best in McHenry County, and always ensures that her clients were treated fairly. Well this was an understatement. Paulette went above and beyond. Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Paulette was nothing was "sugar coated". She was very straight forward, direct, insightful, and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the separation and divorce from start to finish, Paulette kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Since this was the first time going through a divorce I had many questions and to be honest, a little scared. When calling the office, Paulette took the time to make sure I understood everything that was going on along with all of the ramifications of both side’s decisions and requests. She kept the entire proceeding on track and the other attorney on task. I cannot say anything but positive comments here in regards to the top notch representation that I had.

Paulette was a savior to me. She was my second attorney who I retained because my first one was a brain dead moron. She was able to salvage the damage he did to me, and through much perseverance, was able to get my divorce resolved much faster than I had thought possible. This is because she does not stand for the other attorney sidelining issues and dodging required responses to the court. The process was not always easy, but I appreciated her candor with me and laying out all my options. When I saw her in action during the deposition I knew that she would win for me if we ended up in court. Luckily my ex was treated to Paulette's courtroom prowess early. After the deposition she finally agreed to settle. Specifically citing the deposition as her motivator! As such, I feel like my money was well spent and I got the best deal possible. Thanks Paulette!

We used Stephanie on two occasions. Initially, we hired Stephanie Ames to do an adoption for my husband and I. As with many family cases, it can be an emotional roller coaster. Since this was our first adoption experience we had many concerns, questions, and fears. From the beginning we were given advice, straight forward,and most importantly correct information. Not only was she there for us as parents, she was an advocate for our daughter. We then utilized stephanie and her knowlege for navigating a child custody case. Child custody is an emotional time where all of your worst fears come to light. I can say with 100% confidence that she is VERY knowledgeable when it comes to the laws and process of family court! She cared about our case- which is a great quality in a lawyer. Through the entire process, Stephanie was always there any time we needed her.

I've never had to use an attorney before. Mark was very good. He always returned calls promptly and offered good advice. He knows divorce law and child support/maintaince formulas very well. He offered all options and then would offer pros/cons of those decisions. He is a hard worker and I am happy I hired him.
