After my dad passed away in April 2024, my mom and I filed for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) through the VA. Despite working with a VA liaison and following up for 10 months, we received no real updates—just that the claim was still pending. Then, my mom received a notice from the VA, which she mistakenly believed was a denial of the DIC claim. Unfortunately, even the local VA liaison misinterpreted it, causing a lot of confusion. Given that my dad’s passing was clearly linked to his disability, we realized we needed legal representation and turned to James Comerford.
From our first conversation, James took the time to listen, understand our situation, and guide us through the process. Initially, we thought we needed to file a rebuttal, but after investigating, he discovered the VA had actually misinformed us—the claim was still being processed. He assured us he would follow up, and shortly after, he called with the great news: the claim had been approved. Not only did he get us answers, but he also knew exactly when my mom would receive her benefits, including back pay.
When I asked James what we owed him, he refused payment—he was simply happy my mom received what she deserved. Even after I insisted, he suggested we make a donation to a charity instead, which we did. His generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart.
If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate attorney who will fight for you and keep you informed every step of the way, I highly recommend James Comerford. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s a good person who truly cares

Last year, a company took unauthorized payments 4 days in a row I didn’t know what to do, who to talk to, or if that was even legal. I researched lawyers that deal with such problems and found this law firm. I was a bit skeptical to say the least, mainly due to the fact that I’ve never dealt with a lawyer before. All my fears and worry disappeared after the very first conversation. They walked me through the whole process, collected as much information as I could find, and kept in contact with me. Even after 4 months of no contact they still reached out to me to tell me they have been continuously working on my case and have came to a settlement. Best part was I didn’t have to be burdened with anything so it was no stress involved. (Other than my money being taken in the first place) I would definitely recommend this law firm to anyone that needs help and don’t know where to start. Thank you again for all your help!!

Based on my previous legal cases, lawyers from law firms don't seem to do much other than draining my money. So I tried to hire an individual lawyer, yet every one of them I contacted wasn't sure if my case was a consumer protection case or something else and wasn't able to find anyone who's willing to take my case even though I was being accused of something I didn't do. At this point, I was mentally exhausted and stressed out about what I was facing and how nobody was even willing to help me. Until I happened to Google the phone number of the company that was accusing me just to contact the company myself again and somehow "Agruss Law Firm" was the first thing showed in the result and I briefly left a message on the website thinking it wouldn't work anyway. Unexpectedly, I've got a call from Erin who was friendly and passionate about helping me; once she checked out on some more information with me, an attorney Jim Parr took my case; since then everything has been resolved in the way I recommend this law firm to anyone.
I don't know how to thank Jim and everyone who has helped my case. After the experience with Agruss law firm, I feel like there are still good law firms who are willing to help people to resolve their problems.

Thanks to Mike Argruss and his team of speedy and expert service professionals, the collection agency calls stopped. I am very glad that I came across this agency, they were very professional and most of all able to assist me with my issue It is nice to know that there is help out there for the consumer who is being harassed and treated less than human. At first I did not think they could help me, I thought this was just another gimmick, but I was wrong. I am from Missouri the "show me state" and they definitely showed me that they are a legitimate agency that will deliver results. They DEFINITELY stand behind their word. If they say they can help, they WILL and I will use them again in the future if necessary.
Again, a big thank you to the firm for my settlement check, it was an unexpected blessing!

We had lost an initial case against the City of Chicago for past due violations. Even started a payment plan. Mr. Ritenhouse was referred to us by another Attorney. He was honest from the beginning about upfront costs. And was very informative about how the City operated. He immediately filed an appeal and kept us up to date of the status. Outcome was we won our case. He saved us over $12,000 dollars! We would highly recommend Mr. Ritenhouse.

Paige and James are an incredible team! I was in a very complicated and uncertain predicament both financially and legally. I had a tragic situation that took my father's life, my mom was extremely ill and living in an outragelously expensive nursing home. I had met with 4 estate planning attornies before I found Paige and James and every single one basically told me there was nothing they could do for me. (and charged me a lot to tell me no and nothing!!) I was an emotional mess, exhausted and confused. I called a 5th attorney who couldn't help me because she didn't handle Lake County, but referred me to James Siebert. I met with James and Paige to discuss my situation. They didn't tell me no, they said maybe and we will have to see. They gave me multiple options to my senairos and advised me on what they felt was the best way to handle each issue I was faced with. I listened to them, I did what they suggested. Fast forward almost two years later and the outcome was more than I had ever hoped for. I am so grateful for them. They truly are amazing, both as compassionate people and legal experts. I give them the highest recommendation.

Based on my experience, The Law Office of James C. Siebert & Associates, P.C. has extensive knowledge and resources in the practice of elder law, will listen to your concerns, evaluate your individual situation, and determine how to best meet your needs.
I reached out to James for legal help after years of caring for my mother with Alzheimer's at home while also dealing with my Parkinson's. James was quick to assess our situation and present options from which to create a plan of action to meet our immediate and future needs.
James directed our assembly of required documentation from multiple sources for previous five years, advised on and supervised sale of our rental house, and coordinated tax planning for maximum financial benefit. He recommended options for distribution of funds, including gifting and special needs trusts applicable to my mother and myself, that allowed for immediate additional assistance to my mother and provided for my future disability needs. James was also successful in filing Medicaid application for my mother. Based on his experience, plus his direction and help in assembling supportive documents, the result was quick approval of Medicaid benefits.
I highly recommend James C. Siebert as a knowledgeable, experienced elder law attorney who will provide a personal response and legal action to meet your unique needs

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.

GRATITUDE! Where do I start? When I first contacted Mr. Collins I was a mess, I had received a call from my managing broker the day before stating that my Real Estate license had been suspended and I could no longer conduct Real Estate Related Activity. I needed to review the document sent and resolve the problem A S A P, mind you the document sent was from the DDFPR stating that AI had 60 days from the date sent Oct to resolve an issue with I.D.R. for State Taxes. The amount was 10 thousand plus some change. That had grown to a Whopping 17.000 since 2014 from the sale of my two Flat, but wait there’s more. I had received the document on December 8th, 62 days later, and two days too late! That's when my fiancé and I started our search and found Mr. Collins and his team online, from the first contact with Taylor to how fast Mr. Collins got back to me I was impressed. Mr. Collins was calm and cool, reassuring me that everything would be ok. He gathered all my information and the very next day had a game plan with an email that ended with a quote…An object in motion… Newton…He was hired and never stopped. After his research, we found that I had more issues, taxes needed to be filed back to 2008….Yep!I f'ed up! But Mr collins referred me to his C.P.A., Jeff Chang, knocked out all my taxes and stayed in motion, Mind you, this all happened at the peak of Holiday Season. Christmas, New Years. The I R S was on vacay and I was eager to clear this up and inpatient but Mr. Collins Shavonne and Taylor answered every email, call, and question reassuring, me every step of the way, that they were making progress, but there is a process….Needless to say, four and a half weeks later my license was reinstated a T R O was issued to stop any further fees or collections from the I R S and State. My story continues, but I’m positive the outcome will be the same and can’t thank Mr. Collins and his team enough. May the days before you be as blessed as they have made mine.

If you are looking for someone who you can trust.. for someone with the experience needed to handle your issue.. for someone to listen to not only your issues but your concerns as well, then consider your search over. Attorney Collins is that person.
The care he displayed for not only my situation, but for my state of mind and my future, was not something that I was expecting. He treated my situation and myself like he was dealing with someone that he knew personally.. however, I had never met him before. He has all the experience that you need, I have no doubt. He will in fact respond to you within the first 24 hours, he called me sooner than that. He will not charge you for a service that you do not need, and will not overcharge you for the ones you do. Most importantly, in my opinion, he will listen to not only the situation, but he will listen to the 'person'.
You have nothing to lose by reaching out to Attorney Collins. It's easy. It's fast. It's a free consultation. I believe after speaking with him, you will be glad that you did.

The only reason i’m leaving even 2 stars is because my case won. Other than that, i’ve had a poor experience with Atlas/Sulaiman law. The customer service and communication through this firm is honestly sad and extremely unprofessional.
I had a case for discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
At first everything went smoothly and I had no questions or concerns, but I noticed that once I did start to have questions, they were always ignored and left unanswered. My lawyer Travis also treats me like he could not be bothered & everything is a hassle. There is not a single time i’ve felt valued as a client. In fact, the opposing lawyers who took my deposition against their client treated me with more respect and friendliness than my team. How uncomfortable. If this is how the winning cases are treated, I could only imagine the losing ones.
From asking about attire for the deposition, to asking for a breakdown of totals, to asking how i will receive my check, to asking when I will receive my money- almost NONE of my emails or texts were returned, and if they were it’s because I was persistent in emailing and calling until I got a response. None of the inquiries I had were useless or outrageous. I am not a paralegal and therefore not well versed in the law, you would think that someone who was on your case would want you to be fully aware of what’s going on.
To add the cherry on top, my team received my check on the 18th of this month, this was after several unanswered emails asking whether the check would be direct deposit (as i was asked to provide my information), or physical check, if it would arrive to them first or me.
On the 20th I asked if i could pick the check up, if not how long it would take to be sent.
they provided me with extremely vague non-answers. “you’ll receive a tracking number 48-72 hours after we send you your check”
is not an answer to when will it be sent. When I tried again, it was left unreplied to as usual.
I would like to add that I did not have very many questions to begin with, but as the case closes, of course I would need to know more specific details. I was told on the 19th that the team would be sending my checks in the mail within the next few days.
It is about to be the 23rd, which makes 5 days after the check is received and I am still left with no response, no check, and no money that I was expecting for the holidays- a concern I expressed several times with no care given.
This firm will at the very minimum help you win, but the amount is whatever they decide. Standard lawyer fee is 33%, I was charged 40. After seeing the breakdown of the total, I realized that it’s honestly more like 50%. They will charge you 40%, but they don’t tell you that with filing and other fees are not included and equate to thousands of dollars on their own. My lawyers made about $60 less than I did.
I feel extremely taken advantage of and it makes me wonder if I was left in the dark on purpose. I only resorted to a review because I’m scared that this case will be left with no resolution for me. The people who are supposed to help me with my problems, aren’t. I’m not sure when or even if I will receive my money, but hey- at least all of my lawyers were able to buy all the gifts their hearts desired this holiday season. can’t say the same for me unfortunately.

I recently worked with the Marneris Law team to close my condo purchase. As a first-time homebuyer, I was admittedly quite nervous about how the negotiations would go, but Niko & Shayla were extraordinary to work with from start to finish. Their attention to detail, swift responses, and friendly demeanor was all so appreciated & comforting during the entire process.
Lastly, I truly felt that Niko advocated for me with the seller's attorney during some last minute issues that popped up in the final walk-through, with a favorable outcome when all was said & done.
I'd recommend Marneris Law to absolutely everyone in their home purchase endeavors! Thank you again for everything, Niko & Shayla!

Despite facing some unexpected challenges, Shayla and the team provided exceptional support, guiding us through each step with clear communication and expertise. Their attention to detail and dedication resolving issues made what could have been a stressful process smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Marneris Law to anyone looking to buy a home—they truly made all the difference!

Navigating a high-conflict divorce and custody battle over three years was one of the most challenging experiences of my life, but having David as my lawyer made all the difference. My ex was consistently difficult, unwilling to co-parent, and often argued for things he didn’t truly want, which dragged out the process and made it emotionally exhausting. Through it all, David remained calm, professional, and incredibly effective in handling both my ex and his legal team.
David was a phenomenal advocate for me, especially during trial. He was extremely well-prepared, confident, and thorough. His ability to present my case clearly and effectively in court was instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome.
On a personal level, David’s support was equally important. The prolonged process took a toll on my mental and emotional health, but every time I spoke with him, I felt reassured and confident that I was in good hands. He genuinely cares about his clients and takes the time to explain the legal process, making sure you understand every step. His patience and dedication never wavered, even during the most stressful moments.
I cannot recommend David highly enough for anyone going through a high-conflict divorce or custody proceedings. His professionalism, honesty, and compassion set him apart, and his years of experience in family law are evident in everything he does. If you want a lawyer who will fight for you and your child’s best interests while providing unwavering support, David is the one to call.

My experience with Salvador is that of hope. Salvador was referred to my family and it honestly added hope to a situation for too difficult cope with. In 2015, my parents along with my sister, seemed to had been fighting a losing battle to save a home. Salvador took up my parents' foreclosure case and ensured that he would do anything in his power to secure the best possible solution. Through the years, the services of his office were always so polite, so professional, and on top of that, they speak Spanish. The bilingual staff, helped to create comfort for my mom so that she can fully understand the process and the work Salvador's office was doing for my family. Whether it was phone calls, even in person visits, Salvador was always very thorough and explained to us what was going on. Cutting to the chase, 5 years later, my parents were able to sell the property and ultimately put an end to this nightmare. Words cannot describe the gratitude I have for the services that can now help my mom sleep better at night, as a son, you hope for the best for your mother in her later years and I can honestly say that thanks to Salvador, my mom can was was saved from such a huge financial disaster. Thank you kindly.

Mr. Lopez did an outstanding job assisting me with the foreclosure sale of my home in Illinois although I lived in another state. He was very thorough explaining every step of the process. I especially appreciated the fact that the process was completed in 30 days. I communicated with him via phone and email. I was concerned about having to come back to Chicago for closing and that was not necessary which was a tremendous load off of me given my financial state at that time. I recommend him because he loves working with people and does not belittle his clients or make you feel rushed to make decisions. Given I have never met him in person, I was truly impressed with the genuine and honest character of this individual. Great overall service.

Chris took on an industry behemoth on my behalf and settlement was negotiated within 7 months!
He tackled the assignment with vigor and confidence; his analytics and brief were top notch and I believe that is what got the other side to the table in such short order. He's also quick on his feet ~ right back in their faces when the opposing side came at us. Good command of the laws and pressure points too.
On a personal note, Chris is a pleasure to work with, compassionate, empathetic and kind ~ he'll listen to you, work hard for you and be an effective advocate. The other side did not see him coming! Very happy with my outcome.

To Whom It May Concern:
In thinking about Tom Burke, the three words that come to mind are integrity, character and brilliance. I am in the Construction Industry and had been trying to receive payment from a customer for over 15 months. My lawyer at the time had yet to accomplish anything, so I finally made the decision to switch my representation. In under four months, Tom Burke was able to accomplish what no one else had been able to; he pushed the opposing council to avoid further delays, he kept the matter from going to court, he got us a very generous settlement, and he even went so far as to go to Kane County to pick up the check for us.
Without Tom, my company might never have received the money that it deserved. He was efficient, persistent and knowledgeable, and offered a level of service rarely seen anymore. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tom to anyone and hope that he realizes my level of gratitude towards him.
Sincerely,
Wayne J. Klein II

Tom Burke represented us with success in a dispute with an investment counselor. More than anything else, he was responsive and reactive to our information, asked questions on a need to know basis and kept us informed with developments. He was candid with his assessment of our posture, creative in his prosecution of our claim and persistent in his settlement posture. I am a lawyer, and I enjoyed working with Tom and appreciated his regard for my suggestions. We were far more financially benefited by his representation (resulting in more than a $1M recovery) than with other attorneys we consulted with who estimated the value of our claim at less than 10% of the settlement Tom Burke achieved. He virtually rescued out retirement.

Tom Burke represented me in an arbitration, and I am ever grateful for that. He was a quick study in learning the details of the matter at hand and demonstrated his grasp of the issues in his representation. He was professional, level-headed, and worked exceptionally well with our expert witness. He was also quick on his feet and able to effectively respond to the points raised by the opposition. As a result, my case was taken seriously, and we achieved a satisfying outcome. I highly value his competence and give my highest recommendation.

We dealt with Jordan in resolving a particularly difficult fraud case. There were a number of parties involved, all pointing fingers at each other.

Rick provided tender care for us when we went in to meet with him. For years, my husband and I have dreaded heading into the whole estate planning maze.

My wife Norma and I have known Rick Law and his family, personally and professionally, for over 35 years. We know Rick is a person of great character and the highest integrity. Most importantly...he cares about his friends, family, community and his clients. This is the reason we have selected Rick and Law ElderLaw to assist us in creating our estate plan.
Another wonderful benefit of working with Rick is that he has a gift for explaining very complex estate planning concepts and strategies in simple terms that are much easier for us to understand. Rick and his firm are also experts in Elder Law planning, which to us is a very critical piece to consider in any estate plan - regardless of the 'size' of the estate. We highly recommend Rick Law and Law ElderLaw for your consideration.

What a Consumer Protection Lawyer Can Do for You
A consumer protection lawyer specializes in safeguarding individuals from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. These lawyers advocate for the rights of consumers in disputes with businesses, helping clients recover damages related to fraud, defective products, false advertising, or violation of consumer protection laws. They work to enforce laws that prevent businesses from taking advantage of consumers and ensure that businesses adhere to fair practices.
Whether you’ve been the victim of a scam, sold a faulty product, or misled by false advertising, a consumer protection lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue justice.
When Should I Hire a Consumer Protection Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a consumer protection lawyer when you’ve encountered unfair or illegal business practices and need legal assistance to resolve the situation. Common scenarios include:
- Fraud or deceptive business practices: If a company misled you into purchasing a product or service under false pretenses, a lawyer can help you seek compensation.
- Defective products: If you purchased a product that was unsafe or defective and caused harm, a lawyer can help you file a product liability claim.
- False advertising or unfair pricing: A lawyer can assist if you were misled by deceptive advertising or charged for services or products in a way that violates consumer laws.
- Debt collection harassment: If you're being harassed by debt collectors or are facing illegal debt collection practices, a consumer protection lawyer can enforce your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
- Credit report issues: If errors on your credit report are affecting your financial standing, a lawyer can help you resolve disputes with credit reporting agencies or creditors under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
- Predatory lending practices: If you've been subjected to unfair loan terms or practices by payday lenders or mortgage companies, a lawyer can help you challenge the loan and seek a resolution.
- Data breaches or identity theft: If your personal information was compromised due to a company’s failure to protect your data, a lawyer can help you recover damages related to the breach.
What Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Do?
A consumer protection lawyer provides a wide range of services to help protect consumers' rights and seek compensation for harms caused by businesses. Their role may include:
- Filing lawsuits: Representing clients in lawsuits against businesses that have violated consumer protection laws, whether through fraud, deceptive practices, or negligence.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with businesses or their insurers to negotiate fair compensation for damages caused by unfair practices or defective products.
- Pursuing class action lawsuits: When a company harms multiple consumers, a lawyer can represent a group of plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit, seeking collective damages.
- Advising on consumer rights: Helping clients understand their rights under various consumer protection laws and advising on the best course of action.
- Handling product liability claims: Representing clients who have been injured by defective products and holding manufacturers or retailers accountable for the harm caused.
- Defending against debt collection harassment: Enforcing the rights of consumers under the FDCPA and other laws that protect individuals from abusive or unlawful debt collection tactics.
- Resolving credit report disputes: Helping clients correct errors on their credit reports that may be causing financial harm or affecting their creditworthiness.
How Are Consumer Protection Lawyers Paid?
Consumer protection lawyers typically use different fee structures depending on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Contingency fee: For many consumer protection cases, such as class actions or product liability claims, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (typically between 25% and 40%) of the awarded amount.
- Hourly rate: For more complex cases or ongoing legal disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract or filing a small claim, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the necessary legal work.
- Retainer fee: For clients needing ongoing legal assistance, some lawyers may charge a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
It’s important to discuss fees upfront with your lawyer to understand how you’ll be charged and to avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a consumer protection lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal service required. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee cases: For cases handled on a contingency basis, the lawyer typically takes between 25% and 40% of any settlement or damages awarded.
- Hourly rates: Hourly rates for consumer protection lawyers generally range from $150 to $500, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases involving complex legal issues.
- Flat fees: For specific services like contract reviews or handling a small claims case, flat fees may range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the scope of work.
- Class actions: In class action cases, fees are often paid out of the settlement or damages awarded, and individual plaintiffs usually do not have to pay upfront.
Make sure to ask for a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to avoid surprises and to understand how much you can expect to pay.
Top Questions to Ask a Consumer Protection Lawyer
Before hiring a consumer protection lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and skills to handle your case effectively. Key questions include:
-
What experience do you have with consumer protection law?
Ensure the lawyer has specific experience handling cases like yours, whether it involves product liability, fraud, or debt collection issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or a contingency fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case. -
What is the likelihood of success for my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and what outcome you can reasonably expect. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Make sure the lawyer has experience dealing with similar legal issues, whether it’s credit report disputes, data breaches, or defective products. -
What is the timeline for resolving my case?
While it can be difficult to predict exact timelines, the lawyer should give you a general idea of how long your case may take to resolve. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Consumer Protection Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable consumer protection lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Check for experience in consumer protection: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to confirm they specialize in consumer protection law and have handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle consumer protection cases.
- Look for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) can indicate that the lawyer is committed to protecting consumer rights.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a consumer protection lawyer, come prepared with all relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Details of the product or service in question: Bring any purchase receipts, warranties, or contracts related to the product or service involved in your claim.
- Documentation of your complaint: Provide evidence of your complaint, such as email exchanges with the company, photos of a defective product, or a timeline of events related to the dispute.
- Communication with the business or debt collector: If you’ve communicated with the business or debt collector, bring copies of letters, emails, or phone logs.
- List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes for your case.
- Information on damages: Be prepared to discuss any financial losses or harm you’ve suffered as a result of the unfair business practices, including medical bills, lost wages, or emotional distress.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your situation more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed with your case.
