Mr. Matthew Jones and associates of McHargue & Jones handled my case with efficiency and professionalism. Mr.Jones represented me and made sure that I always received my workman's comp benefits on time. Once everything was agreed, I was pleased with the settlement I received. I would highly recommend McHargue & Jones for anyone seeking positive results. They will provide outstanding service and a fair outcome for you.

Finding a good doctor, dentist or an outstanding attorney these days would require a stellar, crystal ball. In 2005, I did not have access to any crystal ball, but was assigned a court appointed attorney to assist me in the charges brought against me in Federal Court. I knew I was innocent but I also knew that my case could possibly fall into the realm of a nuclear time bomb. I had filed a complaint against ten of the largest security firms in the United States, which would have shut Wall Street down in one week. How was such a thing even possible? I was demanding these firms, when taking on a new client, inform them that their money could be used without their knowledge or informed consent for such things as gambling schemes, shorting stocks, hedge funds, dirivatives, flipping, etc. To require "informed consent" would obviously alert the buyer and bring a grinding halt to Wall Street's manner of doing business. There would be no more legalized gambling. Three years passed and still I hadn't been informed of a trial date. I asked the court to dismiss my case. Instead, they appointed a new lawyer in private practice, Mr. Leonard Goodman. He also asked that the court dismiss the case but in return the federal court set a trial date for August, 2008. I put great faith and trust in Mr. Goodman despite the short time allotted to prepare and present his defense. With the help of his associate, Melissa, they both researched the entire case and came to the realization that I was, indeed, innocent. At that point they worked steadily to mount my case. I'm sure both he and Melissa wondered how they ever ended up in this mess with a dilusional client. If they had known what I knew, they wouldn't have been so reticent to go against the SEC, the U.S. Attorney, the FBI and the U.S. Postal Service, who were all in collusion to insure my conviction. Their aim was to aid all these agencies to continue destroying people's lives. This is how the web of Wall Street operates. They had two weeks and the odds, they thought, might be insurmountable in consideration of the Federal Government's having had three years to prepare. In my opinion, it was in the courtroom that Mr. Goodman discovered his true talents as an attorney. There were five days of trial and twenty government witnesses, "so called" experts from each of the above named agencies. Mr. Goodman dissected all of their testimonies, shattering the prosecution's case and leaving all of them looking for the exit door. It was an incredible and beautiful procedure to unfold to my view. I was in awe. At 4:30 p.m. on Friday, the fifth day of the trial, the prosecution gave their closing arguments. When finished, the presiding judge turned to the defense for its presentation. Mr. Goodman stood up and informed the court that the defense rested its case and would not present any witnesses for the defendant. There was dead silence in that courtroom. The prosecutors were in shock over what they'd just heard. The following Monday, the jury took six hours to deliberate the six counts and rendered a verdict of not guilty on all counts. What a day for all of us. The looks on the faces of the prosecutors was classic. They had mounted a humongous case and expected to win. Honesty doesn't always win in court but for me it did. I returned home feeling elated and truly vindicated. Thanks to Mr. Goodman and his associate, I was a free man.

Attorney Leonard C. Goodman is a hardworking, intelligent attorney. He is very knowledgeable and experience and a proven record in the highest courts. He approachable to tackle any criminal case in Federal, State, and Appellate Court system. He fought diligently on my son's appeal in a murder & attempt murder conviction, he worked his way to the highest court overturning said conviction in the US Supreme Court. Attorney Goodman was always reachable and understanding with all of our concerns.

I was fortunate enough to have Leonard represent me in a federal drug conspiracy case in early 2000. His understanding of the law and resolve to fight for me lead to my acquittal on all major charges and the application of the safety valve provision...a rare occurrence in the U.S. legal system. Perhaps the most impressive thing about Leonard was his ability to continuously think strategically about my case and yet, always have my best interest in mind - every step of the way. It's a rarity these days to find extremely competent, loyal and honest lawyers who are also empathetic toward their clients...Leonard is one of those lawyers. I would recommend Leonard Goodman any day of the week. His legal acumen speaks for itself - what is not so evident is that you will also get a genuinely decent person who will fight for you and your legal rights. We need more people like him these days. Needless to say, I am grateful and lucky to have gotten his help. If you are facing legal problems and need to find an attorney that will smartly fight for you, you should definitely call Leonard.

Attorney Brezina was kind enough to take the time to answer a question I had regarding copyright concerns if I were to seek permission from the owner of lyrics to use their material for a business idea I have. I did not use the exact words or maybe the correct words to explain what I was truly asking and still Attorney Brezina was able to identify my true question. The task I had described that I will attempt to complete on my own is a bit daunting for an inexperienced researcher and creator of legal documentation yet Attorney Brezina answered in simple terminology that I am able to easily understand and has given me confidence that I can do this!! Thank you sir, and please accept this note as a documented promise on the only 'legal' I have lived - my word - that if I am ever able to get this business plan going I will be sending you one of the first products I get made, legally. Don't get nervous, lol, it's only a tee shirt! Stay awesome!!

Reem Odeh helped my parent get a green card after a long visa overstay. When we were about half way through the process, we encountered a really difficult pothole and had to consider the fact that my parent would not be eligible for her card. Reem personally intervened, performed some miracle work with a letter she wrote to the USCIS, and we received the green card yesterday. The process took about 9-10 months. We are absolutely grateful for all the work that Reem and her office put in for us. I strongly recommend her for anyone requiring help in immigration, because if anyone could help you, it will 1000% be her. She is so empathetic and cares about individuals, not the numbers.

After speaking to about a dozen business attorneys in the Chicagoland area about my case, I felt Aaron asked the right questions before even taking me on as a client. He was transparent about the time and cost involved in my matter. We were always two steps ahead of the opposing side, and when the day came in court, it played out like a movie. We were well prepared, had all the facts lined up, knew the law, and understood how to navigate each step along the way getting us a win. Highly recommend Rifkind Patrick LLC and will use them again for future business matters.

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!

When my spouse and I decided to move from New England to Chicago for retirement, we weren't sure whom to rely upon for dealing with the legal intricacies and complexities of a new home purchase. Michael Wasserman was recommended to us very highly, and our experience proved that this recommendation was justified. Michael, along with his thoughtful and diligent staff, made our condo purchase much easier than we could have imagined. They helped shepherd us through a process we had little understanding of nor experience with. We are especially grateful for Michael being able to handle so many details while we still needed to be in New England. We would recommend Michael Wasserman without reservation for any real estate legal needs.

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!

The Deratany firm represented my family in a wrongful death/medical practice suit and won! The attorney's Jay Deratany, Mike Kosner and Megan O'connor went above and beyond to ensure a positive outcome. They not only "represented" my family they were aggressive yet personable and they fought hard. They did the necessary research, hired expert witnesses, were beyond prepared and kept me in the loop throughout the process. During our 2 week trial, my thoughts were even if we don't win, I know it's not because my attorneys weren't prepared. The case they presented was flawless and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!!!! Believe me you want this firm on your side!!!!

Azita is the best lawyer and person that I ever met. She fixed all problems that I had with my previous application, which was denied. She is so professional, so dedicated to what she is doing. What makes big difference between Azita and all other immigration lawyers is not only her terrific knowledge, but the fact that she cares about people too. My application is approved and she made my dream come true. All questions, e-mails were answered in timely manner. Whenever I called her office, they would answer right away and explain me all little details about whatever I asked. She had so much patience to fix all mistakes other ,lawyer’ did. When you hire Azita, you can know that you are in right hands. I recommend to all people to go to her office, don’t even waste your time with anyone else. God Bless you and your family.

Jay Dahlin is an outstanding lawyer who is among the top divorce lawyers in Chicago. Jay is very smart and highly experienced in divorce and international law, especially cases dealing with international Hague child custody cases. Jay practices with the highest professionalism. I appreciated his directness and precise knowledge of the law. My case was complex and involved working with lawyers in two countries. Jay was without a doubt the best lawyer I worked with. I trusted that Jay would protect my position and my child’s best interest, which he did, and he obtained the best outcome for me. Going through a divorce is grueling, let alone dealing with child custody issues, but Jay navigated the course with expertise and grace that built the strongest case. I highly recommend Jay Dahlin for divorce and international law matters.

Jay Dahlin assisted me in a high-conflict divorce and served as my counsel through custody and marital settlement. He was calm, thoughtful and worked to guide the process in a reasonable manner within the guidelines of Illinois law. He was skilled at negotiation and using mediation effectively, in spite of the often extreme positions adopted by opposing counsel. We ultimately negotiated an outcome that was closer to my position than the other side's. I attribute Jay's patient, careful work on the case as a key factor to the outcome. While I would never wish divorce upon anyone, I would not hesitate to recommend Jay and his firm to someone going through a divorce. The associate that helped on the case, Leslie Arenson, was also terrific. Having a strong team led by Jay made the process infinitely more tolerable.

From the outset, the team demonstrated an exceptional level of care and attention to detail that truly set them apart. The process of working with them was seamless and stress-free, especially appreciated during such a challenging time. They made it incredibly easy to follow each step, requiring only simple email exchanges to submit all necessary documents for my case. This straightforward approach allowed me to focus on my recovery without worrying about complex legal procedures. The service provided by Ables & Annes was hands-on and absolutely impeccable.

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?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
