Ken was extremely responsive and reached an excellent settlement for my client. He also extended me the courtesy of assisting in a court call when I was injured and unable to travel. His professionalism and effectiveness were very much appreciated. I would, without reservation, recommend him to family, friends, and clients who are in need of his areas of expertise.

Attorney Kenneth Hoffman represented us in a serious automobile accident. He was one of the most professional and responsive individuals that I have ever dealt with. He always returned my calls/emails right away and put me at ease when dealing with the medical bills that accumulated and the complex legal paperwork. I highly recommend using his legal service. He helped us tremendously through a very hard time and his expertise in personal injury law surpassed all of our expectations.

I was so fortunate to find Lauren when I needed a lawyer the most. I must have called 20 lawyers in Chicago they all said no. The reason they said I didn't break any bones. Lauren said yes right away . She was so professional and efficient . We settle in less than a year. I highly recommend her. She is the best lawyers in Chicago.

I had never been involved in anything court related in my entire 60 years. I got injured quite significantly & had no clue how anything worked. I am so glad Lauren was my attorney. It was like working with a friend who knew exactly what to do. She never acted like my zillion questions from start to finish were ever a problem no matter how scared I got she was my rock. I never waited more than a few hours for any answers to my questions and she usually responded within minutes! Her knowledge and expertise brought my case to an excellent conclusion. Although I hope I'm never injured again if it should happen I would without hesitation contact Lauren again.

I met James through my bankruptcy attorney
During the bank fraud forclosures in 2010. He assisted me to stay in my forclosed home for 5 years, to recover some of the financial loss I incured when the bank kept my escrow money through the forclosure process. I highly recommend Jim for any issues you may have. In addition I found him to be genuinely concerned with my well being. I also loved his sense of humor.
Thanks Jim
I appreciate you.

No one knows what happens in next movement
On way back to home from work I & wife met with an car accident (with no fault).Car totalled and we injured severely, ended up in ER.
We don't what to do next. I found Zayed Law and met Mr. Jeremy Lee, a young, energetic and talented attorney. I felt huge relieved after discussing my case. Mr. Lee was very supportive and always in contact never leaves us in the dark about anything. When we had a question we could call/email him and would have instant answer.
We are happy with the final settlement.
We would like to thanks Mr. Lee and his amazing team for their hard work.
Certainly we would highly recommend to anyone need a Lawyer/Zayed Law Offices.

Adam and the entire team at Zayed Law Offices were fantastic throughout my entire case. You can tell that they truly care about you as a person and not just your case. When I first met with Adam about my case he made me feel comfortable and seemed like he honestly cared about my health and stress. He didn't see me as just $$ like most other offices did. He took the time to learn about me as a person and seemed like he was truly interested. He wasn't just concerned with my case.
Adam and his office answered any questions I had about my case in an extremely timely manner and kept me up to date throughout the whole process. They helped me deal with the over whelming amount of medical bills I had and helped me keep them all in order. Adams office was even nice enough to send me a plant while I was in the hospital recovering from my surgery. They wanted to make a stressful and overwhelming process as stress free as possible.
I would highly recommend Adam and everyone else at Zayed Law Offices to anyone I know. Ultimately Adam was able to settle my case out of court for the FULL policy limit.

My experience was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and very positive. I had no idea what it would be like and all I had to go on to make my choice were the commercials I had seen on television. They seemed to really care about everyone. Jon Walner is just the best person and family oriented. I feel completely taken care of. TRUST is big these days. Our attorney who came to our home represented the firm well. He was highly intelligent but could talk on my level as well. The best firm in the Chicago!

Many other lawers would not have taken my case, because they believed that the outcome would be good. Vincent understood that I had suffered greatly, and deserved a chance for legal justice. The case took about 4 years to complete, with vincent and his collegues working constantly on my behalf. In the end the results showed the hard work vincent and his staff worked for me.

I have used Andrew for counseling on various legal issues ranging from a car accident to a disputed debt collection situation.I felt that he was more than willing to take the time and explain the legal concerns in my case and the avenues we could proceed. Andrew has resolved all my issues positively and I am very happy with how professional he was the whole time. One of his greatest assets is his ability to step out of the lawyer role and talk to the client like a normal person. I would highly recommend Andrew's legal services.

I suffered 7 surgeries, I was in a wheel chair for 6 months and I needed help so I turned to Abels & Annes, P.C., a Chicago law firm I found online.

I had no trouble getting in touch with my attorneys and I was always kept informed about the status of my case. If seriously hurt in an accident, it is reassuring to know that you picked the right legal team to help you.

Joseph Dooley helped me research and develop a malpractice case to help with a simultaneous court case where the issue was caused by said medical malpractice. He is insightful, deep-thinking, caring and provided excellent legal counsel for me in a complex case. There were times when he advised me to proceed in a certain direction and times when he advised refraining from legal action to protect me financially, even when it would be less lucrative for him. I highly recommend Mr. Dooley for any personal injury situation. He is an honest, intelligent and assertive attorney.

Joseph Dooley handled my car accident case with confidence, wisdom and empathy. . I was not at fault in the accident, but I had sustained physical injury and had a totaled car and needed someone who knew the law. Thank God I hired Joe. He knows the law, but he knows a lot more than that. He knows how to aggressively handle insurance companies and collection agencies with logic, not emotion. He knew how to handle me with an amazing combination of empathy and education. I wanted to know and understand everything that was happening. Joe instinctively knew that. He was ALWAYS available for me if not instantly, that same day. If you have ever worked with an attorney before, you will know that this quality alone sets him apart. Joseph Dooley is a brilliant attorney who really cared about defending me and about my welfare.

Joe is an exceptional lawyer. I hired him with respect to a personal injury case in which, as a cyclist, I was hit by an automobile. Joe was highly strategic and insightful in navigating the complexities of the case. His experience proved critical in securing both a complete conviction in the criminal case (judge "threw the book" at the driver") as well as a meaningful settlement in the civil case. Joe knowledge and experience with the complexities of this process were really helpful. As my advocate he was timely, strategic, clear-headed, well prepared, thoughtful, direct and in the in - correct. Exceptional

Barry was marvelous at taking several of my business issues and consolidating a litigation plan over multiple jurisdictions against dozens of vendors who simply stopped performing under my contracts. Not only did he obtain a great recovery for me, but he helped me re-tool my current business plans to ensure I'm protected in the event this situation happens again. He knows how to litigate for the betterment of my business and not just for the court victory.

Mr. Whiting helped me understand my legal options before he took my case. He spend the time to understand, not only the injury and suffer I experienced from the accident, but he also helped me feel less overwhelmed and powerless with all the medical and legal issues I had to deal with. I believe that if I had hired a different law firm I would not have gotten the same personal attention and resolution to my case. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Tim Whiting represented us in a wrongful death case in the death of our 22year old daughter. He was compassionate, caring and sensitive to our situation at the time. He and his team worked very hard to get us a settlement worthy of our situation. They never gave up and we were awarded one million five hundred thousand dollars. I would recommend he and his team to anyone searching for an honest, diligent lawyer with integrity. Whiting Law group is absolutely the best!

Mr. Albukerk is an incredible lawyer who persisted through my son's difficult murder case. He worked hard and took all the detail evidence into consideration. There are only good things to say about Mr. Albukerk, my son is free because of him and I'm eternally grateful for him!

Albukerk more than anything listens! He is the only lawyer to win a case of Medicaid or Medicare fraud in the Chicago area and also to win the release of a man falsely accused as a sexually violent person who had been jailed for 30 years. He gets in there right away and preserves evidence of your innocence. If you are guilty he has the experience and knows the prosecutors and judges and how to get you the lowest possible sentence on a plea bargain. The only negative is that he tends to be blunt about worse case scenarios - but I believe that is only a matter of informing you honestly of the fact that the courts do not necessarily follow the law and juries and judges do not necessarily go by the evidence. There is far too much politics and prejudice in the courts and in juries. He is about as good as you will get and his prices are moderate. My family has used him for a collections case, for criminal defense, and I have watched him help friends with divorce cases and police excessive force cases.

Mitchell Hoffman & Wolf represented my family in the construction related death of my son. I met Paul in the initial interview as my ex-husband was referred by a friend to the firm. Paul displayed a fierce edge that was off-putting and I knew immediately he would be successful in negotiating a settlement changing my son's life to a legacy. In addition to his knowledge of the law (he successfully argued in the Illinois Supreme court to change venue) Paul and the entire staff were genuinely compassionate. Although we agreed my ex-husband would represent our family, Paul keep me included in details as the case progressed over a period of two years with personal calls and email. Of course the settlement will never be adequate, my son lost his life. However, I understand the law and the team led by Paul did an excellent job on behalf of my family.

Susan Novosad is a very gifted and seasoned attorney. She represented me following a traumatic incident in 2011 that resulted in serious physical and emotional injuries. The defendant was no lightweight and resisted many attempts to settle the case, resulting in a rare jury trial. Throughout the entire process, my family and I found Susan to be a consummate professional. She was patient, kind, and attentive. From a legal perspective, she was always prepared. We were humbled by how seriously she took the case, and by how much effort she poured into the many pre-trial affairs and courtroom proceedings. I recommend Susan without hesitation.

David represented us for my husbands serious work related injury. Ours was a very difficult case that stretched out over 8 long years with many twists and turns.Even though it took a long time through no fault of his own, he remained very dedicated to our case. He never gave up. With his extensive knowledge of the law and grit, David represented us so well that we received above and beyond what we originally asked for after our case was presented by him in court. Our case is now entered into the law books as law due his efforts. Both he and his staff worked very hard for us. They always answered questions, returned calls promptly and were very patient with us throughout the years. The whole firm could not have given us better service if they tried, we are so thankful for each and every one of them. We never really understood before all that an excellent lawyer goes through and does until we saw David in action on our case. He is truly an honest, compassionate and hard working man. He does not accept cases to make money but to make sure that justice is served. We feel we were both blessed and honored to have Mr. Kupets as our attorney and will forever be grateful to him. If the need arose we would not hesitate to have him represent us again. We highly recommend this very wonderful lawyer!

Throughout my life I’ve had numerous attorneys (more than 10) for various reasons. Bryant is hands down the best I’ve ever dealt with. I’ve had two accidents in recent years where I was not at fault but was injured. After getting “Hammered” by the attorney of my last claim with unreturned phone calls, emails and lack of updates in the case, I decided to find a new attorney for my recent injury. After much research I decided to retain Bryant and I’m glad I did. Every phone call and email was returned promptly- often times within minutes. Bryant updated me every strep of the process and constantly offered advice and help above and beyond what he was obligated to do. Even though the party that hit me had very little coverage and Bryant’s commission wasn’t a lot, he treated me as if the policy limit was a million dollars. If you read this review and are considering retaining Bryant, hopefully this review will be the deciding factor in retaining Bryant. I guarantee you will not regret it.
