Clair from this law firm was very rude and I don’t understand how she is working in law firm her communicating with her. Client is very disrespectful. I could barely get a word out because all she wanted to do was hear her voice. I was trying to get a breakdown and understanding of my payments and she wasn’t trying to hear anything that I had to say which I find is very rude and discriminating of my work situation and what I’m able to afford and payments at this time I do not recommend this law firm at all

We were not given any costs upfront and assumed we were just doing a meet and greet. We decided to go with a much cheaper option. We received a bill for $600 for the one meeting that was less than an hour.

Lesley is highly professional, honest and empathic. When my case dragged on and on, she was there with guidance and support. She always put clear options on the table and respected my choices. She was upfront about the possible outcomes, good or bad, and together we achieved an acceptable settlement with no NDA, which was very important to me.

I was recently in a serious car accident, which was not my fault!!
I chose the firm of Ferraci Lange to represent me in trying to reach a fair settlement on my behalf due to their good reputation.. Lesley Niebel was assigned to my case and from the very beginning, I felt that she had my best interest at heart and would go above and beyond to make sure that my claim came to a satisfactory conclusion!! Lesley worked tirelessly on my case, and repeatedly refused to accept the meager settlements offered by the other insurance company. She was incredibly easy to work with, clearly had expertise in her field, and kept me very well informed throughout the entire process of what was going on! She was always approachable by phone or email, and answered my questions efficiently and quickly! I was very impressed that she was always only a phone call away, and was always pleasant and friendly to deal with!! I was extremely pleased with the outcome she negotiated for me, and would definitely recommend her and her firm to anyone that needs help during a difficult time following an accident!! Lesley is a true professional, a knowledgeable attorney, a good negotiator, and a very nice person!! I highly recommend her!!

Words cannot express how tremendously grateful we are to Hadley Lundback for her sincere compassion and legal expertise during one of the most challenging times in our family’s life.
We never expected to have the need for a malpractice attorney. Hadley, with Faraci Lange Attorneys, came highly recommended to us.
Hadley’s knowledge and professionalism surpassed our greatest expectations. In addition to her obvious skills and legal expertise, she is genuinely committed to her clients. Hadley became more than an Attorney to us over the time we spent working with her. She became a trusted friend who expressed concern with my well-being and health daily.
Hadley provided a level of service beyond expectations. She and her team kept us informed and provided us with constant assurance through every step of this arduous legal proceeding. They worked diligently and gave 110% to my case. She provided support and answered all of my questions. Hadley is honest ethical and has a strong desire to seek justice for her clients. I would recommend Hadley Lunback, Steve Schwarz and Teresa Zukoski from Faraci Lange Attorneys to my friends and family with complete confidence. This team is bar none!

Just like his countryman who abused me for nearly ten years of my childhood, Avik has his own agenda when engaging with the desperate. He uses his large physical presence to try to force his will on others, invading personal space and denying them privacy in discussing priviledged information related to their case. He also withheld information about my case, choosing instead to follow his own direction while being dismissive of my concerns. He used abusive and gendered language in an effort to silence me, much like his countryman who medically, physically, and psychologically abused me as a child. Avik promotes the pseudoscience of psychology, which his countryman used to cloak his abuse of me as a child. Avik is entirely too chummy with prosecutors, having been a temporary judge in another town, and seems determined to regain that position even if it means ignoring his clients. He assured me he would look into matters for me and then went completely silent, thereby costing me further expenses.

In the free consultation, he came across as attentive, knowledgeable and competent. I think the fee he quoted was outrageous. Ultimately, he did almost no work, put in very little effort, and ignored my input without response. The agreement he brokered (written proof) was not the agreement I got. When I asked him to have the court correct it, he went radio silent.

Avik was excellent right from the beginning. He thoroughly went over how everything in the proceedings could/would go, kept me informed as to when I needed to appear in court, and most importantly, was highly encouraging in keeping my spirits up. In my last court appearance, he gave a very passionate speech about me to the judge that I definitely believe played a part in my outcome being as good as it could've been. If you want peace of mind during a troubling time in your life, look no further than Mr. Ganguly for your legal representation.

For several years my family used Gregory Piede for elder care concerns and legal advice and documents. What we found was that Mr Piede delegates most if not all work to his assistants, does not take personal interest nor track details, and is highly neglectful in providing billing documentation. In the case of our dad, it cost thousands more than it should have. We could never recommend him to others.

We hired Mr. Piede in October of 2020. We brought our father up from Florida. My parents started the process of poa's living wills and having a trust but that was back in 2010. We needed someone we could trust and help us to get ready for the medicaid process. Tiffany was awesome!!! She was right on point. Never too busy to answer a question or even the same question a few times. They got all the information and paperwork ready for when my dad was ready to go into a home. My dad went into a home in March and in April he was approved. If it wasn't for the whole team I am not sure where my dad and my family would be. Thank you for making a emotional time go smoothly. Thank you for everything you did.

It’s taken me too long to do this but I found Mr. Piede and his law firm in 2019 when I needed to update my mother’s power of attorney and get her Medicaid ready in a relatively short time. Greg and his staff did an amazing job on both counts. I can’t recommend this law firm highly enough. Thank you Greg and staff!

Paul is a competent lawyer, but gave up on my case. The judge gave us 30 days to be creative on a plan to get my Pistol permit back. Paul did not contact me for 6 months and then finally replied to my emails. I have all the emails saved, including the unanswered ones. Paul wanted me to go out and perform tasks that were against the judges orders. The judge wanted a potential plan and the judge wanted to review and sign off on. Paul refused to work with me on a plan. It has now been 14 months after my hearing and Paul hasn't done anything for me. Not even writing the judge to explain any delay or explanation of where the case stands on our end. I wouldn't recommend him.

Working work Paul and his associates was hassle free. They made arrangements to work with the state of Illinois to resolve an issue that would have required my traveling to Chicago. The issue was resolved quickly and did not require my appearing in court.

Greg Phillips handled my Soc. Sec. Disability claim flawlessly, He was very professional and explained every step of the procedure in layman's terms. With his experience & knowledge he helped me achieve my approval under our first request. From beginning to end was approx. 3 1/2 months !! Super Fast thanks to Greg following through on his end dotting the "I's" and crossing the "T's" prior to submitting the application and in a timely fashion. Even after I have received my approval letter from SSD, Greg followed up with a phone call went over everything thoroughly and was there for any comments, questions or concerns. Naturally everyone's cases will very for approval's and time frames depending on your specific criteria, but I can honestly give "2" thumbs up to Greg Phillips and his team for his professionalism in making this process painless and helping me achieve financial assistance for the rest of my life.
THANK YOU GREG !!

I retained Mr. Phillips very close to the court date for my social security appeal and thanks to Greg Phillips and his team I won my disability claim. He explained the the ins and outs - things happened as he explained they would. He and his staff were accessible and quick to return calls. I had some follow-on questions after the appeal was aver and he was paid, etc. and received the same great level of support. I emphatically recommend this attorney.

They took advantage of my 90 year old father who was hospitalized with dementia. They did a great deal of unnecessary legal work to "protect his assets" even after they were informed he had dementia and had almost no assets and a great deal of debt. They charged him exorbitant fees for this unnecessary work, knowing he needed the money for his long term care. They put my calls through to voicemail when I tried to contact them to discuss his circumstances and obtain his case records needed for his long term care planning. This firm is unethical and heartless.

It’s been a year since I was served court papers. Should’ve read the one star reviews. Attorney set me back thousands and gave the impression that there was NEVER any intention to win my case. Lack of communication, charging me for fruitless research. None of that is important now. I’ve since tried to self-delete several times since and my life has never been worse since. This is what greed and dishonesty does to people. This law firm took my money so I have the right o share my experience

So grateful to the team here for their hard work! They helped me get a ticket reduced and were extremely friendly, transparent, and made sure I understood every step of the process! As someone living in the backcountry with limited service, I appreciated the fact that Destinee and Brian were able to handle everything virtually and were extremely patient with my delayed communication.
