I found Yolanda Riley from reading The Weekly Traveler. She helped me navigate 2 separate legal issues. She is very professional, responds almost immediately, and most of all, honest. She was able to move both cases seamlessly and with great integrity. I plan to use her services again in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Yolanda, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, she demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication to my case. Her ability to explain complex legal concepts in a way that was easy to understand was incredibly reassuring. Throughout the process, Yolanda was always available to answer my questions and provide updates, making me feel supported and informed every step of the way. She handled my case with the utmost care and attention to detail, ensuring that all aspects were throughly addressed.

She did that exceptionally quick and found results i didnt even know existed . She gave me confidence when i was ready to give in . She is Intelligent , Impressive , Professional and Dedicated . She worked day and night on my case and that made me feel as tho I was important . She made a believer out of me when I was giving up on the court system. Angela Baker Evans , is a Intelligent , Outgoing , Professional , Honest Dedicated Attorney . Im Blessed to have Hired her . Her paralegal , Cori is awesome also .

Angela is everything you want and need in a lawyer if you want the best lawyer possible to win your case. I say that because Angela has helped tremendously and everything anyone would hope to have in a lawyer: super intelligent; highly experienced; successful; truly cares about your case; extremely committed to you and your case success by working day and night and everything else Angela can possibly do to win your case; always extremely impressive in court with presentation, knowledge, quick analytical / legal thinking that screws up opposing councels whole case.
Angela will not only impress you but also the judge and opposing lawyers that she is an expert lawyer, extremely passionate, knows her clients case better then anyone else in the room, fights like no other lawyer you could possibly get to win your case.
If that is not a description for the best lawyer what is.
I love it when Angela makes opposing lawyers look like amateurs struggling to figure out what to do next due to Angela's legal intelligence and unique ability to completely destroy opposing lawyers strategy to the point where they don't know what to do or what to ask and clearly struggling.
Do yourself a favor and call Angela. Angela is simply the best.

My first appointment to the law office set the tone of professionalism. From the front receptionist, Paralegal, and Ed. Ed listened and reassured us that he would handle the case successfully. I worked with Lori, Paralegal, most of the time. She was efficient, pleasant, and exceptionally easy to work with. At the end, I would highly recommend G. Edward Murphy and his firm to take care of any legal matters that may arise. I was more than happy with the outcome of my case.

Ed and his team have demonstrated that they are the dominate legal council in the Peoria area. Ed can be trusted to deliver and defend you for the most difficult cases. My ex wife filed a HIPPA case against my wife to gain access to medical records to ecploit my wife and restrict parenting time and Ed worked closely with us to settle outside of court. Friday before the hearing my ex wife declined any settlement and the hearing was set for Monday. Eds team worked through the weekend and developed a solid case with legal precedence and solidly one the case protecting my wife's legal rights to protect her personal medical records. I fully trust Ed and his team and recommend his team even for the the most difficult cases.

I am not quite sure where to begin...I had originally hired a previous lawyer to represent me for my divorce (which started in 2019). The previous lawyer did not seem to be doing much work on my case nor did did I feel heard when I explained my case to them. I ended up asking them to withdraw as my lawyer after about 8 months because I knew they weren't going to fight for me.
I then started the process of finding a new lawyer and quite a few lawyers were not even willing to take my case because litigation had already started.
I felt very lost, but then I got referred to Linda Watson from 3 different people. I had my phone consult with her (at this point covid was in full swing) and I knew this woman was going to fight for me.
Let me make this clear, you're money will not go to waste at Watson Law! You will see the work for what you pay for! Linda and her team will go above and beyond for you! Make sure you communicate with them and tell them everything!
Linda is such a good hearted person. She doesn't sugarcoat things and is very real and upfront with you!
Never in a million years did I think after hiring Linda I would grow so close to her and her staff!! As crappy as having to go through the divorce process was, Linda and her team made it somewhat enjoyable! I felt heard, supported and validated from Linda and her team!
Oh and in the end, Watson Law won my case!!! It took 5+ trials/days in court. It is very important for YOU the client to make sure you educate yourself with your story/side of things and come prepared as well. Linda is so incredible in court. She FIGHTS for you. I could go on and on but I will end with this...choosing any other lawyer for your case would be a HUGE mistake and loss!!!!

Linda recently represented me with my divorce/custody case. She was quick to answer each and every question thoroughly. She also has very well educated staff and paralegals who help beyond words. They are professional, and quick to help when needed. She is a fighter and understanding as well as a family woman too. She gave me her personal cell number so I could contact her anytime via calling or texting with questions, concerns, or updates in regards to my case. I will forever use attorney Linda Watson for any other legal matters. She is amazing and I am so glad I hired such an attentive lawyer who knows how to get things done promptly.

Mr. Casey took on an election law case with under a week’s notice. Not only did he win our case, he won against a lawyer with 30+ years of election law experience. Mr. Casey was informed, extremely well prepared, and fought passionately for us. His arguments were powerful. I am so thankful for his work and would recommend him for any legal assistance needed. There is no attorney I’d rather have in my corner than Gabriel Casey.

Mr Casey helped me navigate a family estate inheritance. He provided his legal opinions but was only interested in what I felt was best for myself and my family. He then protected our interests through the whole process. It was very reassuring to hire him knowing we would be taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend Mr. Casey to friends, family and acquaintances! Thank you!

When you are in financial distress and physical pain it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions. That, in addition to not understanding a legal process complicates matters even more. Jerry explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that where needed to be done. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. Jerry made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but so far successful outcome. Jerry was selected on recommendation from a trusted friend and was some of the "Best" advice I have ever received.

I have retained the services of Brian Johnson for several business matters over the past 3 years. He has perfomed above my expectations in every matter. Although I know several attorneys throughout Central Illinois, his personal attention and approachability is very refreshing especially in unsettling matters which is normallly the case in legal matters. I also recommend Brian's services to many of my clients for their business needs.

Shaun Cusack had been my lawyer for a couple car accidents over the years and did excellent work! I work in law enforcement and ended up on the other side of the law.
I called Shaun, he took my case without hesitation. Shaun went over and beyond to have my case dismissed! If you want results with a dismissed verdict, Shaun Cusack is the lawyer you want on your team!!!!

I was in contract to purchase a home and the inspection yielded the discovery of active termites. I followed up with pest and structural inspections to get estimates for repairs. The repairs exceeded the $1500 threshold that provides an option for the seller to withdraw and receive earnest money back if they should choose.
After deciding to cancel the contract, the seller's agent refused to acknowledge the cancellation claiming that I "obtained these estimates fraudulently." She also suggested that earnest money should not be returned to me and proceeded to slander myself and my agent. Unable to resolve this dispute I decided to hire Shaun to enforce the real estate contract as written.
Shaun immediately reviewed all the pertinent details and provided me with the confidence need to resolve this dispute quickly. He began the intervention with the seller's agent providing the facts of the situation and the contract itself. After 24 hours after speaking with the seller's agent, the entire concern was dropped from their side, the cancellation had been accepted and earnest money scheduled to return.
Shaun Cusack's sense of urgency, attention to detail, and application of the law are unmatched. I would recommend him every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I was wrongfully expelled from grad school for a conviction that wasn't on my record. Mr. Cusack represented me in both cases with the utmost : professionalism, diligence, and care. Mr. Cusack puts his clients first he is upfront, honest, and realistic. He is strives to do what is right, and will not stop until he gets the best outcome for his client. I would highly recommend Mr. Cusack for any: personal injury, criminal defense, or workers compensation.

My experience with Mary Beth and Mr. Dunn was a positive one. I appreciate all they did to represent me during my divorce. They made a very difficult time in my life a little easier. I was treated with respect and kindness. I also appreciate that they waived the remainder of the bill. I would not hesitate to recommend then to anyone in need.

Mr Dunn is a GREAT attorney. He is patient and very straight forward. I went in and had an unachievable goal for my custody case and he stopped me and told me exactly what I should be asking for and explained WHY. He didn't treat me like I was dumb or ridiculous, just that my idea was not rational. He got me exactly what he told me he would. The minute you meet him you respect him. His paralegal Dina is also extremely helpful. She doesn't have the same way with words as Mr Dunn but she does her job and does it right. (Sorry Dina if you read this) There are several other people who answer the phone and greet you at the office who are also pleasant and sweet. I know my case was by far not their biggest financially, but they treated me like it was. I hope I never have to see Mr Dunn again, but if I do I hope he is still available.

I finally got to entering my review of my experience with Mr. Dunn. Divorce is never fun, so I have taken time to separate myself from the experience before writing my thoughts. In summary, if you are going to hire a lawyer, then you won't go wrong by hiring Mr. Dunn and, i will guess, you wont find a better one.
My first experience with Mr. Dunn was when he represented my now wife in her divorce. She faced alot of intimidation and bullying as she started her divorce from her ex and his cult-like family. Jeff helped to steady her and, through his knowledge and expertise and personality, helped her to gain confidence and strength in this process. It was enjoyable to observe him work against the other party and she reports that his courtroom demeanor is steady and confident.
My second experience was in my postdecree case against my ex-wife for cohabitation. His approach of confidence and knowledge helped me to have my maintenance payments stopped. She and her party wanted to settle instead of court, so I missed out on watching him in action.
Im not sure that the above words do justice to his abilities.
Its not likely you will find a more knowledgable attorney.
If he doesnt know it, he will tell you and seeek the answer.
He is a straight shooter; if you dont want that approach then you should seek another attorney, or better yet, change your own approach
His personality is friendly and welcoming - we all want that.
He is confident - also a must - and dont confuse it with cockiness, thats not him
I have since sent a best friend to Jeff and he, who is better prepared and knowledgable than myself, is very satisfied at this time with the service Jeff is providing him in his postdecree issues.
Bottom line, both myself and my wife will continue to have Mr. Dunn represent us as we, for certain, deal with postdecree issues and our ex-spouses.

Mr. Brandt is a very kind, intelligent person that takes the time to review records and give advice. Good advice! I put alot of faith in Mr. Brandt. Not only as a lawyer but a good man. He took the time to handle a transcript reading and put together a summary to the transcript while he was away and out of town!! Not to many attorneys would take the time to do that!! He is someone I can believe in for my son and his future!! I would totally recommend Micheal Brandt for someone to treat you right.

In my eyes, there's no way to repay him for keeping me a free man. He's one of the best. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Michael Brandt to represent anyone. Thank you Michael Brandt for my life back.

Before hiring Mr. Wombacher, I was caught up in the SS quagmire. My family recommended I talk to Attorney Wombacher and from that time on things went smoothly. He is very knowledgeable in the process of qualifying for disability and made things much easier on me so that I could concentrate on my health. He didn't talk down to me and explained things to me so that I could understand them. I would recommend him to anyone as he is very professional in his business.

I met Rob as he was just beginning his professional tenure. He "looked" very young, like a younger brother. What I soon learned was that his motivation and tenacity for helping people with their legal issues was leaps and bounds beyond others. Rob is kind and compassionate but more importantly, he educates to ensure that you understand the law. Rob spent hours researching the "fine print", so-to-speak, finding numerous loopholes in a contract that I had signed. He continued to work with me and the company involved ensuring that I was fully represented. I was kept informed on the movement of my case. My inquiries were responded to promptly. I was not spoken down to. I highly recommend speaking to Rob about your legal questions. Asking Rob Parker to represent you will be the BEST legal decision you will make!

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

Mr. Boyd Roberts was the most professional and savy of all attorneys involved in this case of my friend's separation. My involvement in this case seemed to drag on for far too long, years infact. However, I trust that Roberts did the best he could with the opposing attorney's continued entring of judgements even after the judge warned against it. After Boyd threaten to file sanctions and asked for court costs, I was finally dropped from the case. Two years and over 20 Thousand later, it is over! I have yet to receive the court costs.

Cannot say enough positive things about Michael Fleming and his staff. From the very first meeting to the very end, in a very long and difficult situation, I always received the same kind of exceptional service.

I was updated regularly on the status of the case.
I would highly recommend Mr. Fleming to anyone needing help with a divorce case.

We were in the middle of a brutal and contentious lawsuit when our attorney suddenly became ill and could not represent us at the Court hearing. He referred us to Mr. Fuller, who got us in for a consultation right away. Mr. Fuller had a less than a week in which to prepare for the hearing, however, he came through for us with flying colors. We were very impressed and happy with his trial skills and knowledge. He was very thorough with researching legal references that bolstered our case.
Mr. Fuller is a gem of an attorney. I would recommend him to any of my friends or family.
