I hired LaToya as my attorney to write an Interior Design Contract for me for a potential client. She was very thorough. She was very responsive when I asked questions and she researched all aspects of Interior Design and wrote a contract that was perfect for the job that I was designing. She did all of this in 3 days. She is very reasonable and is quick to respond to you if you have any questions or concerns! I needed the contract asap and she delivered! I was so impressed with the outcome. The contract was nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend LaToya Denise Spearman to be your Attorney. She is passionate about what she does and you will walk away feeling like you owe her more money than what she charges because she is that good.

I cannot recommend this car accident lawyer firm enough! From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive and truly customer-oriented. Their professionalism and dedication were evident at every step of the process. They maintained excellent communication throughout, always keeping me informed and answering all my questions promptly.
What impressed me the most was how seamlessly they handled my case. They provided top-notch representation in court, and thanks to their expertise, my case was dismissed without any hassle or negative impact on my record. They made what could have been a stressful experience completely painless.
If you’re looking for a legal team that genuinely cares about their clients and delivers outstanding results, this is the one. Thank you so much for everything!

Kind and easy to talk to, in both senses of the phrase. After calling a minimum of 4 other attorneys who either have a policy of "taking a message" and never calling you back, or of being rude for asking questions, he was a breath of fresh air. When David didn't have the answer to my question at had he was not ashamed to admit it, and reached back out in an impressively short time with what I needed. He has definitely earned himself a recommendation from me, even if I hope to never be in the situation where I need his help again.

I had a medical malpractice complaint against a Dr who left me disabled. It was not a complication of the surgery. He damaged an area that he should not have been any where close to. The expert was weak and really didn’t look at all the facts. They lied to me about going to trial. They did not even get the injury correct. When I read the depositions I thought they were working for the physician. I wish I never had hired them. I haven’t been able to work since the injury and we spent a good portion of our savings on Dr bills. They dropped my case after 5 years and it’s been impossible to find a new lawyer. I’m now trying to get a job and no one wants to hire a nurse who’s disabled and has been out of work for seven years. Not only has this physician ruined my entire life but these lawyers didn’t know enough about nerve injuries to take the case. They also printed up a fake trial date on a court document and gave it to me to make me believe we were going to trial. Who does that?

He is professional, helpful and very easy to communicate with.

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.

When I found Andrew I had a mountain of regulatory trouble and despite 16 years in the industry, no knowledge or experience in how to deal with it. He calmed my mind and helped me make sensible decisions that were both ethical and protected me. I will continue to use him for all my business legal needs. Highly recommended.

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 have engaged Mr. Fotopoulos on various real estate transactions and recently on a residential property. Great client service, knowledge and communication throughout the process.

Highly recommended and responsive to the customer needs.

Chris Fotopoulos provided outstanding legal services for both the sale of our first home and the complicated purchase of our second. In fact, Mr. Fotopoulos was also responsible for the painless purchase of our first home almost 3 years ago as well! He patiently guided us through the entire process of buying a new construction condo, while negotiating a time-sensitive sale of our first home. From contract through close, Chris was incredibly responsive, patient, and knowledgeable on the intricacies of Illinois and the City of Chicago real estate law.
What was also reassuring about working with Chris is that he knows the other players in the market. This comes in handy as he was our best advocate throughout the entire deal.
Chris is the attorney that you want in your corner for any and all real estate transactions. We highly recommend him for his exceptional service and attention to detail!

Chris has handled the closings on two properties my Husband and I own, and each one went as smooth as silk. The thing we like best about Chris is the fact that "there are no stupid questions" from his client to him, and he makes sure all your questions are answered to your satisfaction before he will allow you to sign off on anything. We will definitely hire Chris again as the need arises. Also, as others have noted, he has a great sense of humor, too!

Alex volunteered at our nonprofit community service organization a few months ago and imparted a tremendous amount of information and knowledge he had about the housing sector to our staff. Our organization provides free housing counseling services for the public, to help them prevent foreclosures and/or resolve tenant-landlord issues. In order to help us better understand and apply for a first-time fair housing grant, Alex volunteered his time and skills and helped us write an incredible grant proposal- one in which scored in the 90th percentile- to help us create a new fair housing program at our organization. Alex spent several weeks volunteering with us, patiently working with us and educating us on the topic. This was our very first application for this type of grant and even though we were not selected, our organization's proposal scored in 90th percentile bracket out of the many thousands of applications received. We are convinced that the knowledge and information he imparted on our housing staff was tremendous, which now helps them better understand complex fair housing issues. During this process, we discovered that Alex had a great training history in this arena, because he was a fair housing clinic participant during his law school days. This combined with his passion to help people in need, provides him with an excellent knowledge of the law along with real hands-on fair housing and landlord tenant assistance experience.

We have worked with Adam on various personal and business related matters. We first worked with Adam related to a foreclosure defense where a previous attorney made quite a few mistakes and filed things incorrectly, etc. I asked Adam an extreme amount of questions, and not only did he answer them well, he didn't rush me off the phone or out of a meeting and this was a flat rate that we agreed to, so he wasn't taking his time just to keep the meter running. He simply wanted to make sure that we were confident and comfortable with the answers and our understanding of the issues.
Not only did we use Adam for ourselves, but any time people have asked if we know a lawyer who can help them with X, Y or Z, I referred them to him. He's worth talking to even if it's outside of his core area. I trust his opinion and know he'd steer us in the right direction, even if it was a referral to another attorney.
Lastly, my wife and I are also business owners and we've used Adam at SRM for various legal matters for our business. He's always a pleasure to talk to, he's always calm and patient, and ultimately, it's a rare experience to have an attorney who will answer your questions with respect that you too, are an educated individual. I've found other attorneys that don't want to bother to explain, as if they perceive the explanation not to matter because you won't understand it. I've never had that experience with Adam.
Give him a call and you'll see what I mean!

Adam represented me in order to reach an agreement that was needed between myself and my new landlord. Not knowing what my legal rights were, was both frustrating and intimidating to say the least. Feeling bullied also made my situation worse. Adam provided knowledgeable expertise to my particular situation and made me feel fully supported by both explaining to me what my rights were, as well as conveying them to my landlord. I felt confident throughout the process that I was being represented extremely well, especially during challenging moments.
I am grateful I had both the Law and Adam on my side. it also helps to have an attorney that listens to your plight and supports your decisions as well as offering reasonable solutions.
I will certainly recommend Mr.Rodriguez's services to any and all family and friends in the future!

My brother and I needed a lawyer to handle our cousin’s estate, who lived in Cook County and died without a will or any direct descendants. Sheni was recommended to us based upon another cousin’s prior experience. For our initial meeting, Sheni agreed to meet at a location convenient to the heirs and we came prepared to summarize our basic understanding of the scope of our cousin’s estate. After only a single meeting with all five heirs, we immediately agreed to hire Sheni to handle his more complicated estate….with NO regrets!
During that initial meeting Sheni listened carefully to understand our unique situation and during that same session proposed what she thought would be necessary for this estate, along with offering two different payment options for her services. Sheni was extremely professional and communicated in a way were all heirs quickly felt comfortable in understanding the work necessary and was through yet efficient with everyone’s time. My brother and I were selected as co-administrators and worked closely with Sheni over the next 16 months to have our cousin’s probate estate opened and successfully closed.
While we didn’t consider this estate extremely complicated, it had some unusual aspects and issues that arose but Sheni was always available to answer our questions quickly or guide us through our options. If she couldn’t answer them quickly she would always respond to acknowledge she received the request and when she would be able to get back to use, which was always greatly appreciated!
There were a few unexpected and sometime frustrating delay’s caused by COVID restrictions and the Cook County court system but Sheni always provided reassurance along the way. Even when we encountered a difference of opinion over closing the estate, a quick conference call and discussion quickly resolved any remaining concerns/issues. While we have little experience working with estate lawyers based upon this one experience, we couldn’t have asked for a better person than Sheni to work with to handle our cousin’s estate in a professional way and very effectively!

Was referred to Sheni by my tax preparer. I was trying to organize my paperwork in case of death. She answered all of my questions, explained the complexities, and did the work in a timely manner. When she said it would be done by this date, it was done. Would use her again.
