I highly recommend The Law Offices of Richard Waller. I had a ticket that I thought would be nearly impossible to dismiss but he went above and beyond to make it happen. He was professional, communicative and very knowledgeable about the legal process. I felt completely supported every step of the way and the end result was exactly what I hoped for, a full dismissal of my ticket! If you’re looking for an attorney who delivers real results, Richard Waller is the one to call. Thank you for making a stressful situation so much easier.

She worked so hard to win my case and every time I saw her she had a smile on her face. I can't recommend her enough, she truly changed my life.

5 Stars I cannot recommend this law firm enough! They handled the buyback for my vehicle, and while I was initially hesitant since I live in Florida and they’re based in Chicago, they quickly put my worries to rest. The entire team was absolutely amazing—professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. If you’re looking for a company to handle something like this, look no further. Just be patient and trust them to do what they do best. They’re truly wonderful, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

Barbara Goodman of Goodman Law a highly regarded Real Estate lawyer was referred to me by my Real Estate agent. Barbara did not disappoint, she was the consummate professional throughout the process. She wants only the best for her clients. Barbara is extremely knowledgable and well versed in Real Estate law. She was always very responsive and consistently demonstrated a sense of urgency. Barbara and her Paralegal, Stephanie Dykas maintained an open-line of communication at all times with me, my agent, as well as the Seller's lawyer to facilitate and expedite the transaction. She successfully resolved any pending issues promptly. Barbara kept me apprised throughout the process. I am very grateful to Barbara and Stephanie for their tireless efforts on my behalf. I would highly recommend Barbara Goodman.

He's direct. I find myself relying on his information exclusively, He has navigated his way through a 2800 page loan closing with and invoice that was less then 20% of the other sides and frankly we got exactly what we needed. I'm impressed as well with the lesser tasks Justin has also managed. In addition his ability to manage the people in the process makes him a genuine team mate, where I'm glad to let him communicate with everyone in each project.

My immigration situation wasn’t easy. In 2016 I gave my case to a “reputable” polish attorney. It was hard to believe but 8 years flew by with lack of any results which left me hopeless, depressed and sad. Not only he did not progress my case at all, but exposed me to the higher risk of the potential removal proceedings. I honestly doubted I’d ever become a “legal” resident. Not to mention how terrifying it was to even think of possible permanent returning to Poland after 24 years in USA. My case seemed hopeless until a friend referred me to Justin Burton's office. As soon as I met him I knew he was a true professional and expert in the immigration law. Justin stands for his words and his work. I trusted him 100%. He delivers the discussed results, never sugar-coats, keeps clients well informed, and stays in touch with them. I loved how specific and to the point he was - I finally was in hands of a nonsense-free professional who respects people and their time. This July a year went by since Justin took my case and I already received my dream green card! The process was a success thanks to Justin and his team (special thanks to Kevin representing me in front of the immigration judge) I dont speak sufficient English which always causes me stress and huge anxiety, but Justin’s office took care of it. Their polish translator, Renata assisted me whenever needed. With Justin overseeing the complex multiple facades and dealing with of all immigration intricacies the whole process was actually a pleasure! I felt safe and well taken care of. In just 1 year Justin Burton accomplished what others couldn’t in a decade. I highly recommend Justin’s immigration law services. He gets the job done. Thank you, Teresa Doniec

I attempted to do business with Floss Law after discovering how knowledgeable Bob seemed to be with RE in general. No amount of knowledge, however, can equate to how valuable good service and respect is. And that should be honored and demonstrated no matter the circumstances as a business. Bob failed to do so and unprofessionally dropped the ball on a deal of mine, and I refuse to not let that be known. The lack of communication and effort in at least making sure my interests were protected was obvious, and I did not get a partnership sort of feeling while working with Floss Law whatsoever. It’s difficult enough as is to find trustworthy attorneys in this industry.. and this firm is not one that i would recommend to my colleagues based on my experiences. Do better.

I felt relaxed, which is good because you want to speak to someone over the phone that you feel comfortable and understand your complex situation. I felt like I had known him for a long time. I was very relaxed in speaking about my situation. He listened and gave the best advice and personally gave me his number and told me that if anything happens to me, please reach out to him immediately, even on the weekend. After getting off the phone, he sent his business card, which I personally locked in my phone in case ICE visited my home. grace Ashley for taking to me.

I just had my first consultation with Christopher Valentino, and I’m thrilled with the experience. He answered all my questions and resolved my concerns quickly and efficiently. I had tried reaching out to other immigration attorneys, but they either didn’t pick up my calls or made me wait an indefinite amount of time for a response. Christopher, on the other hand, provided clear answers, offered excellent advice, and gave me great suggestions regarding my F-1 visa and green card situation. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends who may need his services.

I wish I knew about this site prior to hiring Mark. Everything I read was what I experienced and then some. At one point I couldn’t get ahold of him/his assistant for six months. Had to repeat things over and over all while being charged for it every time. He would write up things to put in my file regarding my ex wife not following the parental agreement and forget to send it to her lawyer. Ran up the bill and at the end pushed me To settle for a lot less then he lead me to believe. And never really listened when I would talk to him. He left out a tax issue that I told him about at the beginning, middle and towards the end. He got pushed around by my ex-wife and her lawyer. There’s more, but this should be enough. You can certainly find a better lawyer then Mark

My immigration situation wasn’t easy. In 2016 I gave my case to a “reputable” polish attorney. It was hard to believe but 8 years flew by with lack of any results which left me hopeless, depressed and sad. Not only he did not progress my case at all, but exposed me to the higher risk of the potential removal proceedings. I honestly doubted I’d ever become a “legal” resident. Not to mention how terrifying it was to even think of possible permanent returning to Poland after 24 years in USA. My case seemed hopeless until a friend referred me to Justin Burton's office. As soon as I met him I knew he was a true professional and expert in the immigration law. Justin stands for his words and his work. I trusted him 100%. He delivers the discussed results, never sugar-coats, keeps clients well informed, and stays in touch with them. I loved how specific and to the point he was - I finally was in hands of a nonsense-free professional who respects people and their time. This July a year went by since Justin took my case and I already received my dream green card! The process was a success thanks to Justin and his team (special thanks to Kevin representing me in front of the immigration judge) I dont speak sufficient English which always causes me stress and huge anxiety, but Justin’s office took care of it. Their polish translator, Renata assisted me whenever needed. With Justin overseeing the complex multiple facades and dealing with of all immigration intricacies the whole process was actually a pleasure! I felt safe and well taken care of. In just 1 year Justin Burton accomplished what others couldn’t in a decade. I highly recommend Justin’s immigration law services. He gets the job done. Thank you, Teresa Doniec

5 Stars I cannot recommend this law firm enough! They handled the buyback for my vehicle, and while I was initially hesitant since I live in Florida and they’re based in Chicago, they quickly put my worries to rest. The entire team was absolutely amazing—professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. If you’re looking for a company to handle something like this, look no further. Just be patient and trust them to do what they do best. They’re truly wonderful, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

Ashley Dworsky immigration attorney in Chicago. I had a consultation on the phone with immigration attorney Ashley. I felt relaxed, which is good because you want to speak to someone over the phone that you feel comfortable and understand your complex situation. I felt like I had known him for a long time. I was very relaxed in speaking about my situation. He listened and gave the best advice and personally gave me his number and told me that if anything happens to me, please reach out to him immediately, even on the weekend. After getting off the phone, he sent his business card, which I personally locked in my phone in case ICE visited my home. grace Ashley for taking to me.

I recently had the privilege of working with Steve Bogdanov on a legal matter, and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. From start to finish, Steve demonstrated an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me, and their exceptional legal representation exceeded all of my expectations. Steve possesses a deep understanding of the law and approached my case with a level of expertise and attention to detail that was truly remarkable. They took the time to thoroughly assess my situation, explain all of my options, and develop a strategic plan tailored to my specific needs and circumstances. Throughout the entire process, Steve Bogdanov maintained open lines of communication, keeping me informed every step of the way and promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had. Their responsiveness and accessibility were greatly appreciated and helped alleviate much of the stress often associated with legal matters. What truly sets Steve apart is the genuine compassion and dedication to their clients. They not only provided expert legal guidance but also offered invaluable support and reassurance during what was a challenging time for me. Steve truly went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported and empowered throughout the entire process. Thanks to Steve's hard work and dedication, we were able to achieve a favorable outcome, and I am incredibly grateful for their assistance. I wholeheartedly recommend Steve to anyone in need of legal representation. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them truly amazing attorneys. Thank you for your outstanding service and for making a positive difference in my life.

I would like to write here a few words of gratitude to Steve, the lawyer who was next to me when the world and hopes were crumbling and the person with whom I planned to go along the road of life not only left the road but also decided to take away what you earned through hard work. Divorce is always difficult and I don't think anyone can survive this fight alone. You need help and a shoulder to support you. I highly recommend attorney Steve Bogdanov. The highest professionalism and knowledge of everything he does. He is always there, he always answers calls, he always has words of support and advice on how to act in a situation that is constantly changing and, as a rule, not in your direction. But Steve Bogdanov will tell you what to do right, how to defend your interests and win your case. I am infinitely grateful to Steve for helping me and from the bottom of my heart I recommend his help to anyone who is in a difficult situation. Thanks Steve.

I highly recommend Steve Glink. He was professional, direct and to the point. Steve has a wide breath of legal knowledge - on more than one occasion Steve referenced legalise to other lawyers which they were unaware of. I had a very complicated case that lasted almost three years, included a school district, the state attorney's office, the police, and DCFS. It also included interviewing witnesses, reviewing camera footage and writing several briefs. While I was anxious and confused, Steve was an oak in a tornado. Steve did not offer his opinion carelessly, he treated everyone involved professionally, and, most importantly, he won. I was wrongly accused by a very heavy handed power structure, and Steve was an excellent legal mind, and a professional in all ways.

I had about a 6K debt from a loan I defaulted on from a creditor because I was unable to keep up with the monthly payments as a single parent. The creditor sent a sheriff to my home to demand I show up for court and make the payment in full. I was embarrassed, saddened and extremely distraught. I reached out to Heather who was so kind and sympathetic to my situation. She was able to facilitate a monthly payment plan with the creditor which was great. As I was making monthly payments, I began to have some unforeseen circumstances and once again fell in the "no payment" trap. The creditor then sent wage garnishment paperwork to myself and my job. The creditor also noted that the garnishment would begin at the end of the month! I reached out to Heather again who was once again so sweet and understanding. She asked me how would I like to resolve this? I was in shock because no one ever asked me what I wanted to do! I was overcome with relief because I just knew from the beginning that she was on my side. I gave her an ordered list - starting with the best plan to the least favorite plan to get this debt resolved. Heather reached out to the attorney representing the creditor and worked tirelessly on my behalf. I am happy to say that my #1 resolution from my list was accepted and my wages will NOT be garnished!!! I cannot Thank Heather enough for her hard work and effort!!! She is a blessing to have as an attorney and I will definitely work with her in the future!!!!

Back in 2015 I lost my job of 15 years. I had two debts that I could not afford to make payments. I received court papers on one of the debts in the later part of 2017. I had stopped by my mailbox on the way to work on a Monday morning, and in there was a mailing for Heather Benveniste. I opened it at work and decided to contact Heather, and I am so glad that I did. I have never had to appear in court, and on the first debt, she was able to negotiate my debt down almost $700.00 and I received court papers 6 months later for the 2nd debt. I immediately contacted Heather. Again, I never had to appear in court and she was able to get my debt reduced down $1,200.00. All together Heather has saved me the grief and heartache of having to appear in court, no wage garnishments and $1,900.00, but most importantly peace of mind knowing that everything is taken care of with the courts. Thank you so much Heather, you are AWESOME!!!

I recently had surgery that was very successful. I did not hesitate to let friends, family and acquaintances know that I had the surgery, how excellent the surgery went, who the doctor was and how he had changed my life. My wife and I recently went through Chapter 7 bankruptcy with David Feinartz. The entire process as orchestrated by David was superb. But, have I gone out to friends or acquaintance an tell them that we had just gone through "Bankruptcy," and that we were so fortunate, so blessed to find an attorney that changed our lives. Unfortunately the answer is no. Why, at the age of 71, I did not want to advertise that our financial condition was such that we required the expertise of David Feinartz. I was ashamed that we had to file for bankruptcy. David was recommended to us through a friend that admitted that he had experience bankruptcy and what a wonderful experience is was to work with David. Following up on our friends recommendation, we certainly found that to be true. We had been fighting financial problems since 2009 only going deeper and deeper in debt. Our only knowledge we had about bankruptcy and bankruptcy attorneys was through commercials on TV......................... and these guy"s can certainly scare you. On our friends recommendation, we met with David and found him to be calm, and understanding of our concerns, even our terror of our future. David, after calming us down, explained the options we had ahead of us, made a recommendation as to how he would proceed. Davids calming manner in addition to his level of knowledge and professionalism was everything our friend who recommended David and more. We have completed our Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and starting over. We will always be grateful to David as well as our friend who recommended David to us for changing our life. Thank you David

David was recommended by a trusted friend to help us navigate foreclosure and bankruptcy proceedings. His knowledge in helping us through the court system was and is invaluable. Perhaps more valuable has been the time he has taken to make us feel a little less diminished as a result of our circumstance. His is all about making sure that we get the best possible outcome in the end.

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.
