Buckley, Fine has been very responsive, when we needed to complete a transaction within a week! They were on top of all the details, communication was really great! They even caught a couple issues with the contract that we would have missed. We had used Dave Buckley before for our trust and estate planning. Trustworthy, highly intelligent, thorough and fair. I am going to use them for all my needs, no question!

Our Will was outdated. We felt like creating a Trust was the right thing to do, however didn’t have a clear view of why and all the benefits. Caroline was extremely knowledgeable, a GREAT coach and made the process very simple and easy to understand. Having the Trust finalized brings peace of mind.

What an amazing staff to deal with, I had a work injury and like everyone that seeks advice I was nervous at first. Nancy Shepard kept me in the loop with everything, she took my case from a different attorney she took the time to go back and review every detail and proceeded to fight for me even more. You don’t get that from anyone, that much attention to a single case, Nancy Shepard and the team at Seidman, Margulis & Fairman thank you!.

I was initially referred to Z Wang & Associates in 2013 by a friend of mine. My parents met with Zhidong Wang when he traveled back to China in 2013–2014, and we decided to start the EB-5 process with Z Wang & Associates as our immigration attorneys. We first filed the I-526 in September 2015 and received approval in September 2016. We filed the I-485 in April 2020 and had it approved in July 2022. In May 2024, we filed the I-829 and received approval in December 2024. We are glad that, after this 9-year wait, we have finally completed the entire EB-5 process and had our conditions removed.
Over the years, we worked with Dora Zang, Jamie Hossa, Jeff Cheng, and Zhidong Wang, who were always able to answer our questions whenever we needed help. We truly appreciate their time and assistance over the past nine years! We will contact them again for the N-400 process and any future green card applications for my parents.

Compassionate, Supportive, and Truly Exceptional
I cannot say enough good things about Abel’s and Annes P.C. and the support they provided to my mom during a very challenging time following her back injury. From the very beginning, their team went above and beyond to help her navigate the process with care, understanding, and professionalism.
What stood out to me the most was how patient and supportive they were throughout the entire experience. They took the time to truly listen to her concerns and provided clear guidance every step of the way. Their communication was excellent—they were always available to answer questions, explain details, and ensure my mom felt comfortable and informed.
It meant so much to see my mom treated with such kindness and respect during a difficult time. Abel’s and Annes P.C. didn’t just provide professional services; they showed genuine care and compassion that made all the difference.
I am incredibly grateful for everything they did to support my mom, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of reliable, understanding, and trustworthy help. They are truly exceptional at what they

I recently had the pleasure of working with the personal injury team at Ables & Annes, PC, following a vehicle accident caused by another driver who fell asleep at the wheel. From the outset, the team demonstrated an exceptional level of care and attention to detail that truly set them apart.
The process of working with them was seamless and stress-free, especially appreciated during such a challenging time. They made it incredibly easy to follow each step, requiring only simple email exchanges to submit all necessary documents for my case. This straightforward approach allowed me to focus on my recovery without worrying about complex legal procedures.
The service provided by Ables & Annes was hands-on and absolutely impeccable. I felt genuinely supported and valued as a client. Their dedication to ensuring the best possible outcome for me was evident in every interaction. I am profoundly grateful for their expertise and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled personal injury team.

I would strongly recommend Mr. Bi for anyone searching for a patent attorney. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in filing my patent. He answered all my questions about the patent filing process. I was very impressed how accessible he was even the after hours. Anyone looking for a good patent attorney should contact him at his law office in Naperville, IL.

I started my own business almost a year ago and reached out to Edward for legal counsel. I have utilized his services on four occasions - primarily for copyright and trademark needs. I have found him to be thorough, responsive, and someone I can depend on. He takes the time to explain what the alternatives are as well as what the next steps, if any, will be. While I don't have extensive experience in working with legal counsel, his rates were what I expected.
I will work with Edward in the future and would recommend him to others.

Edward as he likes to be called, was the lead attorney for my patent application in 2014. We had two refusals from the patent office due to what seemed to me to be unfair prior art allegations. In each case, Edward came up with a strategy to refute the findings. In the end I was able to secure a patent for the product which included the next advancement in the technology which will be added to the current product. So it will protect my IP in the long run. I was very please with his efforts and would recommend him to others for patent issues as well.

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?

I very much recommend John's services, as I've never met such a kind & caring attorney, who never treats his clients like another number:
His services are quick, seamless, and on top of which he has also provided some added assurance in all aspects, "holding my hand" throughout the entire process. His negotiation skills are also top notch! I'm very impressed by his work & would most definitely have him be my defender again if I ever experience another unforeseen predicament.

We highly recommend John Callahan and his associates. Thank you again for all your help!!

I have never seen Attorneys work as hard as I just witnessed from Jim McPhedran and Lauren E. Edmonds. Our suit has taken over nine years to come to court. Deaths and covid were not kind to us. Jim and Laurens research for this case alone was unbelievable. Their presentation was right on, I was amazed at how much knowledge they learned for our medical case. I want to thank them for what they have done representing our family. They definitely had their heart, mind in this case.
