Positive, encouraging, helpful. We couldn''t have done it without them. It was very difficult, involved extensive documentation and they were with us in everyway. Everyone went the "last mile" to bring this to a conclusion. Many thanks to all who helped.

I was connected to Alex Moskovic through an Employer referral service at my work. I hired him regarding a no contact staking order against a former employee who harassed me and my family electronically and exerted multiple threats. This was an emotionally very draining time. In short, Alex helped me to obtain a 2 year plenary order by agreement, a rare achievement thanks to his great knowledge of the law. With the order in place I feel protected from the harasser and can continue living my life. As someone who never faced any legal situation, Alex guided me through the process and was available to talk when I needed him. He calmly answered all my questions and explained happenings in court, their implications and next steps in a way I could understand, which was important to me. Alex also multiple times provided his professional opinion on a parallel criminal case against the same individual that was ongoing. With his dedication, I wish Alex could have represented me in this case too. Overall, I’m very happy with Alex service and will recommend him to anyone seeking representation for an order of protection. I hope I will never need such legal services again, but if I do I will surely get back to Moskovic Law!

It was a pleasure to work with our attorney Alex Moskovic to help resolve an issue that needed a professional. Alex was always very thorough and professional during the legal process. He was able to resolve the conflict and we were very happy with the outcome. I would certainly contact Alex if we ever needed professional assistance again.

Alex was my attorney handling my post-divorce action for college expenses. It was a very difficult situation with an uncooperative co-parent and unorthodox opposing attorney. I was very happy with how Alex handled my ex and his attorney. He was always responsive to me and knowledgeable about the law, the judge and provided excellent advice to get the matter settled. He knew when to 'play hardball' and when to tell me to make concessions. I highly recommend Alex to anyone. He is a great attorney.

Alex Moskovic - Moskovic Law is by far the best, well prepared, meticulous, experienced lawyer I have ever had.
To support my statement I will tell you why I feel this way...
My legal needs started in Florida when I was going through a high conflict divorce. I had two lawyers in Florida before moving back to Illinois where I needed to basically go through the mediation and divorce process all over again in order to transfer my child support guidelines and parenting plan to the state of illinois where my Ex and children relocated to and I moved to to be closer to my kids.
Going through this process again (Mediation, Parenting Plan changes, etc) was extremely stressful initially beacuse I feared it wouldn't go well, as that was my experience in Florida. I soon realized because of Alex's experience, care, and insightful and timely communication, this go round was going to be different for me.
I felt hamstrung somewhat, due to my actions in the past and the previous outcomes of emergency motions, relocation hearing, awarded child sharing time previously, etc, that things would not work out in my favor again. That was not the case this time around. I had made changes in my life to better myself as a person, however in the legal field / court room the past will always resurface. Mr. Moskovic has exceptional skill in the divorce / Family Law field. Wether it be his attention to detail, timely response to client communications, ability to work through tense and sometimes high conflict situations with my EX and her counsel, Alex is top notch, well prepared, and did not let anything slip through the cracks. He literally helped me achieve what i thought may not be possible, additional time with my kids without the unnecessary drawn out legal fight.
These processes are never a walk in the park. But I honestly feel with Alex Moskovic - Moskovic Law at my side supporting me, fighting for my rights as a parent, I gained back what I missed so much, time with my kids. I am forever grateful for what he has done and will continue to retain Mr. Moskovic for all my Family Law needs as long as he is practicing.

Lou was very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Lou knew the best type business to file for my consulting business in my state. He helped me close out a previous filing and create a new one quickly. He had a fast and thorough turn around.
We also used his services to draft and execute our trust. We would highly recommend Lou and have sent many family members his way.

After five years of working with a different medical malpractice firm on my case, it was time for me to seek a different legal counsel. I felt my initial attorney did not invest the time nor the effort I was promised during my first (and only legal) consultation.
Last year, I retained the Martin Law Firm. After just two weeks, my new counsel knew the intricate ins and outs of my case, worked with the speed and integrity I had hoped for in this process, and (I felt) had a deeper knowledge of and empathy for the injuries I had sustained and will always suffer from. With Martin Law, there was an appropriate, but delicate, sense of urgency and fight for me, the client, in mind. A precise, thorough, and well-communicated plan for forward movement in my case was shared, and the momentum in my litigation process began. As consummate professionals, Jeffrey and his partner, Shauna, checked in on me often and kept me updated each and every step of the way.
Knowing what I know now, I should have shopped around for attorneys and not settled for the first one I had consulted with years ago. Had I started with Martin Law, I'm confident my case would have been settled years ago. I am forever grateful for their expertise and would never hesitate to send a friend or family member their way if ever in need.

I hired Jeff Martin to represent me in my injury case. He has done excellent job handling it and negotiating very good settlement with insurance company. Jeff is one of those "rare breed" No Nonsense attorneys who go straight to the point with you, honestly answers your questions, and actually pick up the phone every time you call him. He has deep knowledge and experience in injury field, and he knows how to apply it while he works on the case. Those characteristics also apply to his office assistant Barbara - they both very efficient. On top of all that - Jeff and Barbara are simply very nice, pleasant people to work with - so Martin Law is my attorney's office of choice and I strongly recommend it to anyone with injury case.

I have known Wendy for 20 years now and have retained her twice in 2 different cases. Both times Wendy has been impeccable, thorough, and a fighter for me and the rights of my children. She knows the law in and out and will fight for you with all she is. Professional is an understatement when it comes to Wendy and her staff. I have referred friends/family to her and she has given the same impeccable results for them as well . I personally strongly recommend Wendy Morgan as I am confident she will fight for you as she has for me !!!!!!

I was going through a nasty divorce with my, now, ex-husband. He had gotten an attorney to represent him. It was time I got an attorney to represent me. I found Wendy Morgan. She represented me with the fiery fierce will I needed. Wendy got me everything that I deserved. Wendy had no problem dealing with the other attorney. Wendy paid attention to details my case, and made sure that the divorce was fair and complete.

My ex kept stalking me. He stalked me at work, home, and when I went out with friends. I had called the police on him several times. I needed an attorney. I found Wendy Morgan. She explained to the process on how to get the protection I needed. Wendy also was caring and compassionate towards what I was going through. Wendy never backed down. She can fight for me anytime!

I would highly recommend Scott Anderson. My son's case was very challenging to say the least. He was convicted of a sex crime when he was 15 years old. 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.

Scott is an amazing lawyer. He is exceptionally professional. I was charged with a weapons offense I didn’t commit and Scott worked tireless to my defense. For every court appearance he was on time, ready to role, and always positive. I knew from the start he had my best interest at heart. I felt through the entire ordeal that he made my case a priority. He made sure I was ready for every step and informed of everything that may happen and all my options. If your looking for an amazing lawyer Scott is the best.

I recently was pulled over for driving on a revoked license & no seat belt in Lake County. While on probation. I was absolutely sick to my stomach & Affraid. I called a good friend of mine and explained what happened to me. He told me to call Paul.
So i did. When Paul answered and spoke to me. I was instantly relieved. His demeanor proffesional manner & knowledge was like no other lawyer i have used before. We went to court on the first appearance.
He showed how great he trully is.
He got the seat belt ticket thrown out.
He got my driving on revoked reduced down. Probation terminated and a meger fine with supervision.
. I really thought i was going to jail. Witch was Scary & Financially devestating to my family.
But thanks to some good advice from a friend and a true pro like Paul.
Things worked out well. If i remember correctly during my first phone conversation with Paul he reassured me that it would.
God Bless You Paul.
Million Stars.

People please do your mental health a favor and pick up the phone and call this man.

YES!! you should hire Paul B. Wharton as your attorney… With cases ranging from Personal injury, Divorce and Criminal, I felt good it was a good fit. I was treated with the utmost respect, pure professionalism, prompt follow up, and a wealth of experience behind him… 33 years to be exact. Paul made a difficult and stressful time more manageable…a sigh of relief in knowing I was in good hands.

Mr. Wharton is a man I can’t thank enough! Today he made a miracle happen and I’m blessed to come across a lawyer who is as knowledgeable as he is. I contacted Mr. Wharton to represent me for multiple traffic violations including a speeding ticket for 120mph+. With a driving abstract like mine, I didn’t have much hope of the outcome, but Mr. Wharton managed to make magic happen! If there’s a will, there’s a way and Mr. Wharton does what it takes to get the job done! I will forever recommend Paul Wharton for what he has done for me.

I want to thank James Siebert and JCSLAW for their professionalism, effective communication, and knowledge. James and Page Fox handled my case with ease and made me feel very comfortable every step of the way; they both are extremely diligent and hard-working.

Paige and James are an incredible team! I was in a very complicated and uncertain predicament both financially and legally. I had a tragic situation that took my father's life, my mom was extremely ill and living in an outragelously expensive nursing home. I had met with 4 estate planning attornies before I found Paige and James and every single one basically told me there was nothing they could do for me. (and charged me a lot to tell me no and nothing!!) I was an emotional mess, exhausted and confused. I called a 5th attorney who couldn't help me because she didn't handle Lake County, but referred me to James Siebert. I met with James and Paige to discuss my situation. They didn't tell me no, they said maybe and we will have to see. They gave me multiple options to my senairos and advised me on what they felt was the best way to handle each issue I was faced with. I listened to them, I did what they suggested. Fast forward almost two years later and the outcome was more than I had ever hoped for. I am so grateful for them. They truly are amazing, both as compassionate people and legal experts. I give them the highest recommendation.

Based on my experience, The Law Office of James C. Siebert & Associates, P.C. has extensive knowledge and resources in the practice of elder law, will listen to your concerns, evaluate your individual situation, and determine how to best meet your needs.
I reached out to James for legal help after years of caring for my mother with Alzheimer's at home while also dealing with my Parkinson's. James was quick to assess our situation and present options from which to create a plan of action to meet our immediate and future needs.
James directed our assembly of required documentation from multiple sources for previous five years, advised on and supervised sale of our rental house, and coordinated tax planning for maximum financial benefit. He recommended options for distribution of funds, including gifting and special needs trusts applicable to my mother and myself, that allowed for immediate additional assistance to my mother and provided for my future disability needs. James was also successful in filing Medicaid application for my mother. Based on his experience, plus his direction and help in assembling supportive documents, the result was quick approval of Medicaid benefits.
I highly recommend James C. Siebert as a knowledgeable, experienced elder law attorney who will provide a personal response and legal action to meet your unique needs

I had three traffic tickets at once, and was in big trouble and found Mr. Stevens. Mr. Stevens is Sincere, professional, honest, strategic. Throughout the entire process of my case, he was super supportive, responsive and kept us informed. I've never been more happy with the result. Words couldn't describe my experience with his service. I will recommend to anyone who needs the service.

Mr. Stevens does the following:
1. Wins Cases - Super intelligent
2. Returns calls in light speed (he has returned many of my freak outs about potentially going to prison.)
3. An attorney that is on his way to a judgeship
4. Reasonable price
5. Shows up to court, on-time and has an excellent reputation
6. Family Man
7. Honest
8. Decent
I could go on, but, you get the point. I went to Northwestern. I had access to many attorneys and the latter's 'Rolodex.' I shunned the latter. I chose Mr. Stevens each time. At one point I enjoyed trouble. Although I no longer engage in such activity, I want to share my experience for the person who still does.
Other attorneys use the 'bait and switch.' Lots of upfront talk and before you know it, the retainer is paid and off they go.
Not Jason.
If you want a fair resolution to your antics, with a tremendous amount of strategy, hire him.
Thank you!

We are so glad we hired this gentleman, we felt safe the entire way. Do yourself a favor and go for the consultation. You'll see what I'm trying to write here. He's awesome.

I don’t know where to start! I found Anisa on a lawyer directory. I reached out to her because I was seeking council for 3 traffic tickets that I racked up in a fender bender that I had gotten into. 2 of the 3 tickets I wasn’t worried about however the 3rd had me very nervous because it was my 2nd ticket for driving with no insurance so I knew I would be suspended, especially since I was already on supervision for the first occurrence, and a suspension would affect my livelihood. When I initially spoke to her, after giving her the details of my case, she was very transparent with me about fees and such. She was neutral about the possibility of the outcome which was hope for me since I had called another attorney that had given me a grim outlook. After our phone consultation I felt fairly confident about having Anisa as my counsel. In court, on 6/14, things looked bleak however thankfully her experience and in depth through knowledge of the law enabled her to negotiate a plea for me that would allow me to keep my license valid and my fine far lower than expected. From beginning to end I thought Anisa’s services was wonderful, her fees economical and well worth it, & I thought that her communication with me was great. I am beyond elated and grateful for Anisa’s services and I will certainly be recommending her!

In the beginning, the accident I was in, I felt I was being taken advantage of working on my own with the other parties insurance company. Asking Shauna Martin for help was the best decision I made. She was very helpful and informative throughout the process. She guided me from the beginning to the end of my insurance settlement. She really went the distance to get me the best result, which I am very happy with.
I did get the result I was looking for in the end. I would definitely hire her again and will recommend her to any of my family, friends, etc.... if they were in a similar situation I was in. I never really had any concerns after hiring her on my case, knowing she had everything under control.
Thanks again, Shauna:)

Ernie was a true professional. As a first time home buyer, he showed patience with me and guided me through the process very well. When reviewing contracts, he even caught a few questionable parts and immediately brought them to my attention and got to work on fixing them for my benefit. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone going through the home buying process.

I have spent the past 10 years in and out of family court. The cost, stress, and difficulties of the family court system in Illinois have made life very difficult. I have been through two other attorneys prior to finding Tony. My experience with family law attorneys is they just go through the motions and have little concern for you on a personal level, not to mention in many instances they could care less that the family law system is destroying and hurting both you and your children. I recently went through yet another legal issue in family court. But this time I had Tony as my attorney. Tony does something most other attorneys don't. He listens, cares, has compassion for your situation, but most importantly knows how to navigate the family law system and fight to secure the best possible outcome in the quickest fashion. He doesn't waste your time or money and he cares about the people he fights for and their families. I am happy to say this time around I prevailed due to Tony. He handled the conflict and the system like no other attorney I have had over the past ten years. Due to his efforts we were able to defuse a situation that in the past would have cost me thousands and thousands of dollars in legal cost. My issue was resolved quickly and effectively and I felt safe and protected. Great attorney, wonderful man!

I have had the great fortune and pleasure to have legal support and advice from Angela Peters for over 30 years in matters of family law as well as real estate. Angela is indefatigable and unwavering in her commitment to examine every nook and cranny. Even when I have been ready to say "we're good," Angela has persevered to the nth. In the end, that is what I want from my legal representative/advisor. Thank you, Angela. I sleep well and advance confidently knowing you are my legal eagle.
(And now she's doing pet mediation, as well!)

Angela was an amazing attorney. She was quick to answer any questions I had and I had a lot. She explained everything very well and prepared you for any outcome. She not only is experienced but she's also compassionate and understanding. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is dealing with child support or custody orders.

We have used Jack (aka John) for several real estate transactions and he and his staff exceed my expectations EVERY time. He is extremely detail-oriented (which you would hope of an attorney, but is not always the case) and has saved us money with each transaction by finding hidden fees and bogus charges from title and mortgage companies. I highly recommend him.

Bona represented my divorce case and she made the process as easy as a divorce possibly could be. The process can be emotionally overwhelming and gets worse if you have to struggle with attorney hassles. I got Lucky with Bona since she made the legal proceedings the last thing on my mind to worry about. She was always available to talk to or write to, had the right answers and Never misguided or misrepresented any information. I always felt being with the right advisor and a legal representative.

I consulted with Miss Doci for my divorce and frankly I wasn't sure whether I should hire her because she is young. You hear horror stories about the divorce process and the lawyers taking advantage of your situation. Dont let her young age fool you though. She is a very positive person and very professional. I was quite impressed. We consulted, I hired her, she kept me in the loop and was very understanding and respectful of my requirements. I couldn't have asked for a better person to represent me. She contacted me a few days before the divorce to let me know the procedure of the divorce in the courtroom and assure me that everything was going to be okay. She was right because everything went smooth. I definitely made the right choice hiring her.

Highly ethical and trustworthy attorney. He has helped me and my wife with our wills and buying and selling our home(s) in the past. He recommended an excellent real estate agent for my mother who was able to sell her home quickly and he handled the closing very effectively. He has also helped my daughters look at apartment leases giving them advise as to possible changes. He is extremely communicative, keeping us up to date on all matters. In all my dealings with him I have never had any doubt about his high ethical standards. He also gives lay explanations, e.g. in developing trusts, which were very complicated to understand and he made it much easier. I recommend him without reservation: 5 stars!
