After firing my attorney in a DUI case, I found Steven who actually took the time to educate and guide me through the process. He actually does care about his clients. He won my case. I would highly recommend Steven's services if you are looking for an attorney with a great track record.

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. Steve handled my case in a manner that was swift and reassuring, and answered all my questions knowledgably and patiently. If you wish you had an attorney that truly cared about your case and got the job done like a true professional, Steve should be your top pick.

After firing my first attorney who literally took my 10K retainer and advised me to "plead guilty, sell your house and move," boy am I glad I stumbled across Mr. Klein. I didn't know about AVVO at the time, but real client reviews are probably the best way to judge a potential attorney.
By the time I hired Mr. Klein on several convoluted and grossly exaggerated matters that had ballooned out of hand, which included OOP and VOOP, he was able to get the OOP vacated and VOOPs dismissed, which seemed initially like an impossible task, especially since the original attorney bungled the case so badly and several months had elapsed.
In the end, I received court supervision for one separate case, with all others dismissed.
About Mr. Klein's style: He's a great communicator. Available, responsive, patient, and explains things in detail (and many of the details can easily get confusing). Sometimes he gets gruff or short when he is in the middle of fighting hard for your case, so trust that he is placing his energy where it needs to go and will get back to you later to explain the finer details.
A word about pricing: A friend advised me, be wary of attorneys who charge you by the hour, because you can't really know how much time they have actually spent on the case. I found this out the hard way, when my original attorney kept over 3K of my original retainer, after doing pretty much nothing on my cases. Mr. Klein in contrast offered transparent pricing, telling me exactly what his cost was for each matter in full, and additional fees if the case went to bench trial vs. jury trial (it didn't.)
If you have any pending criminal matter and need a great attorney, I unequivocally recommend Steve Klein!

I was facing 10 years in federal prison. With all the evidence stacked against me and my former attorney suggesting that I take a plea…it was Gal who told me that the case could be beat and urged me to fight. Gal’s due diligence, preparation and knowledge of the law earned my trust. He did an excellent job in communicating the process which put me at ease. His skillful line of questioning caused the DEA agent to blatantly admit in open court that I was racially profiled. Because of this admission, the motion to suppress was granted and the case was dismissed. I am extremely grateful to Gal for his optimism and ability to deliver.

I will never get tired of thanking life for having found you on my way, without you, I would be doomed. I owe you my freedom. ” I trusted you and I wasn't wrong, thank you very much Gal!

David Sternfield was a fair and honest Lawyer. He focused primarily on the goal and did his best to accommodate my needs. In the end I got the custody I wanted along with a very fair agreement on transportation. David was capable of handling most of the work while I was in Nevada. Any and all issues were addressed and he was willing to work me through any questions I had. Very easy going and if I needed anything he was a simple text away. I went from having no custody to having every school break and can now spend Christmas with my son that I’ve missed for 6 years.

Thanks to David Sternfield, LLC and his amazing team! Going through a divorce is very stressful, so I needed an attorney that was knowledgeable and able to calm my fears. I was referred to David’s law firm through a good friend that said that he was an amazing attorney to have on your side. David actually handled two divorces for me and the process was always courteous and professional. Thanks to David, I can move on with my life in peace. I would utilize his services again and again!

I have known Adam for over 15 years and have helped and guided me wisely whenever I needed legal advice. He helped us when we encountered so many building issues with our brand new home years ago. His knowledge of the law and his responsiveness resulted in a great settlement with the builders. He helped me start my own business 10 years and stirred me in the right direction and among other advice, he rendered throughout the years. I highly recommend Adam and not only he is a brilliant lawyer, but he is also a lawyer with a heart.

A true professional with a very practical approach. Mr. Lysinski’s broad knowledge of the law, even outside of his specialty, is most impressive and helpful. Combined with the fact that he is the most straight forward and honest attorney I ever hired (and I had a lot of attorneys), he is now an essential part of all my real estate and business dealings. I recommend him to every business owner without any reservation.

Honest, skillful, and caring attorney that focuses not only on the results, but also the practicality of the case. Mr. Lysinski’s wide area of expertise allowed me and my family to finally resolve our legal issues, and at the fraction of the cost that other attorneys proposed. We finally found an attorney we can trust.

As a first time homebuyer, that was going through the process outside of the state of Illinois, Mr. Aven was could not have been more patient, helpful, and accommodating. Not only did he make the experience painless he ended up being a better advocate for my purchasing position than my real estate agent, saving me thousands. Cannot recommend him enough and will be going to him for any real estate need in the future!

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.

Excellent representation for an international child support and custody case, first in 2010 and then again in 2021-2023. The team under Bryan Reed is professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and thorough. Reed Centracchio and Associates is honorable and represents with great integrity which is very important to me. I have always felt supported during the process, even though at times the case almost broke me. I felt confident from day 1 that we made the right decisions and arguments not only with class and respect but also with strength and authority. It is difficult to navigate through a lengthy, trying and exhausting court battle but this team is phenomenal at what they do. I cannot thank them enough for representing me.

She is highly personable and worked very well with all parties involved. I was very impressed overall. I would recommend her to my close friends or anyone who needs an excellent divorce attorney. She is one of a kind.

After being represented by an attorney whom simply did not have the expertise, I contacted the Office of Jeffrey M. Leving. I am now partnering with a legal team that has a history of protecting parental rights. Immediately I knew the proper decision had been made.
Attorney Filipowicz has been tirelessly defending my case regarding visitation of my very young (toddler) Son. His meticulous research coupled with an extensive knowledge of law, has been highly beneficial. The insightful preparation for each and every meeting/hearing is beyond measure. I truly appreciate the ongoing efforts of Attorney Filipowicz, and the rest of the counsel, as we move towards justice! My family, and I, thank you and the Office!

Dr Filipowicz, has a pleasant personality that helps you to feel confident to work with. In our meetings, he was not in rush & he listened with respect & patience & offered his legal advices about my case. He went above & beyond the case to make sure every aspect of my case was covered. He introduced me to huge resources like books & rereferrals to other professionals & professional organizations that might help me as early as possible. This was the most respectful part of his support & respect to resolve my case. I saved his office phone number & I was able to call him several time & he was respectfully responding to my calls very fast. I never felt left behind working with him & I strongly recommend him & his respectful team of professionals.

Andrey Filipowicz, together with his colleague, John Madden, and the rest of the team at the Law Offices of Jeffery Leving, stepped in to an urgent and very unique family matter situation with very little time to act, quickly pulled a plan together and were able to obtain a very necessary emergency Order of Protection. This matter required some thinking "outside of the box" and they were able to craft an appropriate petition and solution. Mr. Filipowicz is a very experienced attorney and he has been very prepared, thorough, thoughtful and professional through the initial petition through all subsequent hearings and meetings. Mr. Filipowicz and Mr. Madden work very well together.

I have used Brad more than once (for my divorce and four years later when a petition requesting a new parenting allocation judgment was filed). Brad walked me through both processes, ensured that I had "wins" along the way as the respondent in both cases, and was available/accessible when needed. I was never waiting on information or a status update. He is very easy to communicate with and extremely responsive. I was incredibly happy with the outcomes (under stressful circumstances) in both cases. I have the highest respect for Brad and highly recommend him!

Brad is an excellent attorney who is very intelligent and well versed in the law. He is very articulate whether in the divorce trial-court, discussions with the GAL, or in private conversations as we tailored our approach to my priorities. He is an excellent communicator both in his written documents and during conversations. He was always forcefully striving to get the best outcome for me and my children by determining the best approach and exploring creative options. His sincere and focused efforts were integral in the court’s decision to grant me as the primary residential parent for my kids.
Brad is an exceptional and gifted lawyer. My case was very contentious and filled with many distractions and accusations from the OC. Brad remained calm, focused, and strategic. He is not only highly intelligent but also is sympathetic and absolutely focused on getting the best outcome for me. He is patient, compassionate, and thorough in what he does and presents.
I had interacted with many lawyers during my divorce process, but Brad is clearly set apart from them. He is very knowledgeable, hard-working, and thoughtful. There is every reason why he is a Rising Star. I would highly recommend Brad, in fact, I can not recommend him highly enough while going through such a difficult and heart-wrenching experience as a divorce.

Brad performed a review of a prenuptial agreement that had already been structured and had little room for flexibility. Despite the constraints imposed by the agreement, Brad provided invaluable insights on improving the structure of the agreement, helped identify and remove excessively punitive clauses, and was able to make several recommendations to clarify language and circular references that were ultimately accepted by opposing counsel. Brad was extremely professional in his demeanor toward my fiance’s family’s requests, in his responses to my requests, and in his overall handling of the case. Brad took the time to help me understand the legal jargon and gave me peace of mind that I was protected throughout this sensitive process. He was readily available via email or phone, despite having trials and other open cases, and he made arrangements to meet in person upon request within just a couple business days. Reasonable retainer fee for services compared against several other firms in the Loop. Highly recommended for anyone needing counsel to sign a prenup.

My friends and family suggested I contact the law offices of Jeffery M. Leving, Ltd. located in Chicago. I chose to have Jim Hagler and Summer Du represent me. BEST DECISION I MADE IN YEARS!
I came to Jim Hagler because I was not getting any time with my daughter, even though we had "equal custody" after the divorce almost 4 years prior. Our original divorce paperwork from a different lawyer was vague and poorly written, leaving my ex-wife lots of loopholes to keep my daughter away from me, unless she felt like "granting" me access to see my own daughter. I was heartbroken, depressed and mad. I hope no one has to experience the pain I was going through. I wanted to be her father, not some weekend or periodic person that could only see her occasionally.
I was done with feeling helpless, and knew I had to stand up for myself and get my daughter back into my life. Every daughter needs her father, and ever father needs to be with his daughter! Jim and Summer refiled the custody paperwork so it reflected what equal custody really means. That started the expected battle for custody. And holy cow were they ready for it!
Jim and Summer are real hero's to me. They blew holes in very false accusation and unsubstantiated lie my ex-wife could dream up! And I assure you she came up with new ones every time Jim and Summer proved the last one was a lie! No matter how ugly the process became they guided me through it all with a level of support, dignity and professionalism which gave me the confidence to know we would come out on top! In the end even her own lawyer knew the truth, it was a great victory- and by victory I only mean having my daughter (and best friend) back in my arms!
Today, I have equal custody of her and could not ask for anything more in life! My relationship with my ex has also returned to normal and we are doing a great job coparenting. I never though any of this would be possible.
MY WORD OF ADVICE: Don't ever give up your rights as a father and do what you know is right- call Jim and Summer if you really want your daughter back!!!!!!!!
God Bless!

Jim works at the Law Offices of Jeffrey Leving is likely the most honest and probably the most competent family law attorney in Chicago and likely Illinois.

Navigating all aspects of divorce is overwhelming until you find the right attorney. James and his team eliminated as much of the confusion and concern from the process turning a difficult, tense situation into a manageable one, with a favorable outcome for both sides and most importantly, the kids. James and the firm have a great reputation and experience and both added undeniable value throughout the process from negotiations to the close of the matter. Throughout the entire process he listened to me, directed me to some valuable outside vendors to assist with ancillary issues, and saved me from making my own additional missteps while navigating the process. Outside of the process and the value he brought to my case, he is just a good person, making ethical decisions and looking for positive outcomes rather than dragging out cases and billable hours.

When we were looking for a lawyer to represent us against a copyright troll in CA, I was at first hesitant to contact Billy as he was in Chicago. So I called a few others first and Billy last. Billy was by far the most reasonable and knowledgeable about the industry. He did a superb job at getting a settlement that we could live with. He spent quite a bit of time going back and forth with the troll and us. I believe he does this work out of principle as he surely spent far more time than the fee we paid him.
When we called Billy, we were feeling afraid, tense, and extremely nervous. Within minutes, Billy made us feel secure and relaxed because we knew he would be protecting us from that point on. He lived up to his reputation and we cannot thank him enough. Strangely, I feel like I owe him more money for how much work he did to represent us. How many times has anyone hired a lawyer and felt that way? From our experience with Billy and his caring nature, I truly consider him a friend and hope to someday payback his kindness,

I was extremely fortunate to have found Ben Kailin and Firm Equity after being named in a Malibu Media Lawsuit. After contacting a few other law firms, I felt Ben seemed to really understand how to deal with Malibu Media. He took on my case and was able to negotiate a settlement I could live with. The initial offer from the plaintiff was way more than I could afford to pay. It took him several weeks of back and forth negotiating before he was able to bring the settlement amount down to an acceptable level. I’m not sure the modest fee he charged even covered the time he spent on my case. He is truly the friendliest yet fiercest lawyer around. If you are ever unlucky enough to be involved in something like this, definitely call Ben and Firm Equity.

Ben spoke to me on the phone and answered every single question I had before I even retained his services. His generosity with information, his frankness and honesty, and his genuine desire to help is what makes Ben a great attorney in my opinion. I was dealing with a person who expressed understanding and not just a 'matter of fact' attitude. He was always accessible via email as well as on the phone. He really went to bat for me, and he helped me settle at a price I could achieve. I owe many thanks to Ben for his work and attitude.

Benjamin has turned gloom and despair into instant relief. I had hired an attorney for a copyright infringement case (multiple infringements) who did a whole lot of nothing. So little of nothing that the accusers had plenty of time to get my real name and serve a civil court summons to me at my home. I had to hire another lawyer and this time I wanted to make sure I got someone who had the right stuff.
Enter the Benjamin. Not only did he cover the basics of what needed to be done and the strategy needed in my case, he also made it a point to treat you as a real person with real feelings. Attentive. He understood the misery and dread, and that no one wants to file bankruptcy over something like this, especially when you are over 40. He negotiated a reduced settlement that was a pleasant surprise and made the process of paying the settlement extremely easy. No hidden costs.
He’s always in communication with you so you don't feel like you are in a long line waiting to get served. He does what he says he is going to do and makes you feel relaxed through the whole process. I am extremely happy with Benjamin’s service and HIGHLY recommend him. Worth every single penny. Can’t speak high enough. You are in good hands with him.

Jeffrey exemplifies what a client attorney relationship should engender, respect trust and sincerity in solving a client’s issues.
Aside from being well informed, Jeffrey kept me apprised of all actions he had taken to settle my infringement issue. His fees are more than fair and his actions are deliberate and measured solely for a client to have a positive outcome.
Wouldn’t hesitate to engage Jeffrey and this coming for a person who has maybe written two recommendation comments in a lifetime.

I was referred to TPMB and Sam Carl via a different firm while I was looking for a personal injury lawyer due to a serious cycling accident. If you have ever had the need to seek our representation you know how overwhelming the process can be and how difficult it is to know if you are making the right choice given the vast array of options at your disposal. Complex life altering injuries are scary enough, and if they involve negligence on the part of large well known corporations its even more intimidating. At the time TPMB was newly founded and little information about the firm existed, but after speaking with Sam and TPMB partners I felt reassured in my decision to retain them. He immediately jumped into action gathering time sensitive evidence and set realistic expectations every step of the way. His advice and recommendations over the course of 2 years were invaluable and ultimately played a big factor in being able to secure a favorable multi-party settlement prior to trial. Sam was always available and willing to answer questions or offer his professional point of view, even outside of traditional office hours if need be and his calm but diligent demeanor kept things moving with the minimal amount of stress. He was able to accomplish this with the uncertainty of Covid and disruptions to the legal system as a backdrop.

I own and operate a professional meeting/convention planning Company. I send a lot business working work with four and five diamond hotels and resorts globally. As you can imagine, I have high expectations with servicing levels. The best analogy I can provide is that Sam is truly a five star, five diamond legal service provider. He is the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons of his profession. Sam and his legal support team not only anticipated, but exceeded my expectations handling my personal injury case in myriad of ways, including but limited to the following; accessibility, knowledge and skill set, listening skills, settlement accomplishments, and much more.

Sam is a very genuine person. 100% transparency. No cause of concern. 100% trustworthy. Always has client's best interest in mind. All options will be on the table and all the pros and cons, clearly stated. Final decision is mine and he will value it. There was a stage when I was keen to accept the offer made but he felt it was not a fair deal for the extent of injury suffered. I believed in him, rejected the initial offer and the final settlement was three times v/s the initial. I will definitely recommend Sam. With Best Wishes.

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.

We had a very difficult case. Top lawyers in Chicago said they could not help. Nancy took the case and made it happen.
Surprisingly, she is not after money.

Nancy did a fantastic job with our green card case! She helped us through the entire process, from filing all of the necessary paperwork to preparing for the interview. When we encountered unreasonable delays, Nancy tenaciously fought for a favorable resolution.
Nancy and her entire team are knowledgeable, professional, and kind. In our emails, phone calls, and Zoom meetings, it was clear that we were dealing with an expert who genuinely cares about her clients. We cannot imagine going through this process without Nancy in our corner.
We will need to file additional paperwork in the coming years, so there is no question that we will rely on the Nancy Vizer law firm in the future. We encourage any individuals, couples, or families with immigration-related legal needs to call Nancy--you will not be disappointed!

Professional, effective and friendly - I can't recommend McEntee Law Group highly enough.
My wife and I worked with Ray and Fiona on securing my immigrant visa and always felt like we were in great hands. The team at McEntee Law Group clearly have vast knowledge of a wide range of visa application processes, but they also have a commitment to making their clients feel supported with regular check-ins, quick replies to emails and an empathetic approach.
My wife and I are very grateful to McEntee Law Group and would happily recommend its services to others.

Fiona and team assisted us with keeping a key team member on our Innovation and R&D team in the country so we could continue to innovate and get our products to market.
I've heard the O1 visa is one of the most difficult visas to get approved for. Fiona and team got us through the process successfully. They also did all the heavy lifting so the process seemed effortless to us, even though I know it took a lot of work on their end.
I couldn’t be more grateful to Fiona and the team for pulling this off! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!

I would highly recommend Scott D. Pollock & Associates, we worked directly with Anne Relias and her Legal Assistant Jose Haro. They both always made themselves available when we had questions and always walked us through the process each step of the way.
We had moved to North Carolina, where the view on immigration is much more conservative. She was able to navigate the immigration process here powerfully, decisively and confidently, even from Chicago. Anne was very organized and knowledgeable of all aspects of our case. She utilized many facets of the law to progress our case quickly.
We did not have a simple case, and I know there was a lot of work and research to be done, on her side. In the end, we were able to get my wife’s adjustment of status to permanent resident without having to return to Mexico for an interview. Which was very relieving, knowing how the world and that area is right now.
As I said we would highly recommend Scott D. Pollock & Assoc. and Anne Relias. My Wife, Son and Myself are very grateful to her, Jose and The Firm. We were ecstatic when my wife received her Green Card and now we can continue our lives with much less worry and a much brighter future.

He is the best immigration attorney in the nationwide!
I’m pretty sure he is famous in the Chicago area but I had no problem hiring him as a New Jersey resident. At the interview, he made sure he was on the phone with us taking care of our case.
Also I got the marriage green card in 6 months , which unusual time frame( so fast) that I was so happy I got it that fast.
He even explained for the interview that so simple, short and very easy to understand .
We just love him and recommend him to my friends already!
He is the best!
