Worked with Brian Thompto as an attorney to file my Green card and he was so unreponsive, careless, rude and never ever replied back to my emails neither calls. Wasted my 15 months for PWD and PERm and end result is it got denied because of his mistake to not including my skills in ETA-9089 besides providing him all the details. Even after it got denied, he seems like nothing happened and jeopardizing my future and now i am left with no option else than leaving US as my time is getting closer. I would definitely not recommend him and I still can't believe that i am not the first person to give this type of review but still he is serving in this organization. Seems like all Attorneys here are like same where no one care about their clients. If you wish to waste your time and money, please hire from here.

I worked for Sidley for a long time. Coming out of the Medical field and going to work for a LAW FIRM was a bit of a change, but I was involved in Health Ins and Insurance claims and retired in 2009. Definitely, one of my favorite jobs.

I once had lawyer here put the wrong name on a form they were submitting to the government on my behalf. That kind of situation where you edit a template but fail to catch one of the places the old name was in. Fortunately, I randomly found it and called it out. No apology or acknowledgment. Sigh

I am glad that I chose Berg & Berg to represent me. They are trustworthy, professional, and always made sure to communicate with me updates on my case. They always made their client feel welcomed and never rushed through any meetings or phone calls and answered any questions that I may have had. I am very happy that Berg & Berg helped me to win my case and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants accountable and knowledgeable attorney’s. Thanks again Berg & Berg.

I heard of Peter Berg through friends of mine and I could not be happier with the quality compassionate care that he and the others at the firm extended to me. I was in a construction accident in January of 2014 and was diagnosed as a paraplegic. I needed their help to sort out my extensive medical bills and my life in general. Peter went way above and beyond what anyone would have expected him to do to get me a fantastic settlement and a better quality of life, which to Berg and Berg is better than any kind of money. I would highly recommend this firm and I am extremely grateful to them for the life I now have today.

It is very rare in this day and age to find an honest, ethical, and no nonsense Attorney. Jonathan has more than earned my respect and appreciation, I value him and his ethics more than imagined. He kept me informed throughout the entire process, too show my appreciation for his hard work, I have already started to refer him friends and family, you don’t get a better thank you than continuing the relationship via referrals. Jonathan thank you for everything, you have given me the opportunity to change my life and stay stabile.

Kim Brown - she is ON IT. You can tell from the moment you meet her that she means business. Definitely a master negotiator, dedicated to the issues you present, and is quick, efficient and FAIR. Kim has represented me on all fronts - from opening businesses, buying real estate, and personal legal matters. One of the BEST things about Kim, (other than being an outstanding human being!) is that if there is something that is outside her realm - she knows someone that can get it done asap. She is very well connected in Chicago and I have recommended her countless times!

David worked extremely hard for our case and we were very pleased with the outcome. He is very knowledgeable, patient and understanding. He answered all of our questions and made us feel at ease during the long process. We couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent us in our case. We highly recommend David for an injury attorney.

David was my attorney in a personal injury case that involved three surgeries, short term disability leave and months of physical therapy. He told me my case was rare - the insurance company offered to settle even before actually filing suit. David got me a settlement that was $75,000 over the initial offer. And maybe more unbelievably, he spent less that $800 in expenses. Our business was conducted quickly and efficiently by phone, fax and text. The first time I ever met him in person was when he delivered my settlement check to me. I would definitely recommend David as a personal injury attorney.

I have to admit, after nearly 5 years of working with them and still not having my debt paid off, it feels like this process wasn't worth it. I have one remaining debt of $12K, and nearly $9K in my account that needs to be paid off. Yet, every month, it feels like the balance never gets closer to being resolved. At this point, I don’t understand why they can't call the creditor and negotiate directly. It finally dawned on me that the reason might be the high fees they charge.
Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend them again, and I am determined to stay out of debt just to avoid working with them in the future. On top of that, my account password never works, and I never receive the reset email. For a company taking in so much money, having a properly functioning website should be a basic expectation—it's almost laughable.

I have had Mr. Singer as my lawyer for almost 13 years for a few situations. He has always worked very hard and communicated effectively with me. Over the years I have sent many his way for him to represent. Every one of those people have thanked me for suggesting him. I encourage you to consider if you need legal help. I only ask that you put in as much work to your case as he will for you.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Flint Cooper law firm. Communication has been almost non-existent. Despite multiple calls and emails, I’ve either been ignored or hung up on when seeking clarification about my case. I requested to meet my attorney in person, as I’ve done with every other attorney I’ve hired in the past, but that request was repeatedly disregarded. How can I be expected to trust a firm that refuses to explain things clearly?
What’s worse is that I feel like I’m being retaliated against because I contacted the Illinois Bar Association for advice. Since then, the lack of communication has only worsened, which feels highly unethical and unprofessional. Retaliation against a client for seeking help from the Bar? That’s unacceptable.
There have been far too many red flags throughout my case. I’ve started to believe this firm is more interested in maximizing their fees than actually looking out for my best interests. They’ve even contacted my medical providers without my consent after I made it clear I would handle those bills myself.
If you value open communication, transparency, and ethical behavior from your legal representatives, I strongly advise you to avoid Flint Cooper. My experience has left me feeling devalued and exploited.

My wife was diagnosed with and eventually died from Peritoneal Mesothelioma, a rare type of this disease. I was contacted by a national law firm specializing in Mesothelioma cases. A partner from that firm came and interviewed my wife about her condition. After the interview he stated he didn’t believe we had much of a case and most likely would receive little or no compensation.
A family friend recommended Lawrence Holcomb at the Flint Law firm. We contacted Lawrence and made an appointment for him to come to our home in Pinehurst, NC to discuss our situation. He was very professional, friendly and meticulous. He advised us that in his opinion we would be eligible for a sizable amount of compensation. Lawrence assured us that he and his firm would work diligently to secure the compensation we were entitled to. During the process Lawrence was our primary contact and always returned our calls personally. On another level he was saddened by Maureen’s passing and gave comfort to the family. He then personally guided me through the paperwork necessary to keep the processing of each settlement on track. The end result was that our family received hundreds of thousands of dollars as compensation. I wholeheartedly recommend the Flint Law Firm and suggest you speak to Lawrence Holcomb. If you are fortunate enough to have him handle your case you can be assured of the best possible outcome. He delivers on what he says.

I wish I could talk to Kiara Moore. Her experience is a lot like ours and I'm not sure what to do. Im so close to hiring another attorney. I think it's odd that to get good reviews they have to have their employees to do it.
I would not recommend anyone from this law firm. Please do not hire any of these lawyers they are not worth it. I'm so sorry if you do or have already done so.
They don't care about you and do not care if you have enough money even to survive or not. They are holding on to thousands of your money. They probably are using your money to pay their employees and pockets the rest. Just please don't use anyone in this law firm.
I wouldn't give them one star but I had to to be able to post this.

Took over a year for an Order of Protection case. Rotating attorneys never on same page. Asking for an update confuses them. They give you a team of attorneys that dont consult with each other. You have to talk with all of them and they bill you separate. It will take days sometimes weeks for a response. They do not want to review any information you have and very unorganized.

As a current employee of Elman Joseph Law Group (for about a year now) I have had nothing but a great experience at this office. They really challenge clerks to experience all facets of the court process and have created an environment that is great for prospective lawyers. It has also been a grounding experience seeing how long the court process takes (roughly 2-3 years in Cook County) and how much work is needed from every person at the firm to collectively get what our clients deserve. The diverse staff at our office allowed me to have great experiences with people of all kinds of different backgrounds and I am extremely grateful for all of the opportunities this job has gave me. I would highly recommend anyone who is willing to work hard and has a great interest in the court process to consider working at this firm.

I went to Mr. Clinton in distress when I was experiencing some issues at law school. Thankfully, I ended up just transferring to another law school and ultimately did not pursue my issues. I am still writing this review years later because I feel reviews can help people so much when selecting an attorney and my consultation with Mr. Clinton is one that really helped me to find peace.
Attorney Clinton came across as a very knowledgeable and helpful person. I have interacted with many attorneys as I am one myself and I can honestly say that very few were as kind as Mr. Clinton. Oftentimes, attorneys can be snippy, but he was not. He is honest about if he can help you or not. At the same time, he remains a very sympathetic person whether he can help you or not. Rest assured, you can tell him your about your possible case and all your problems with no judgment. I also like the types of cases he worked on. I felt they were very noble causes and this was the reason I called him to begin with when I was having the issues I was having.

Attorney Fulco has provided quality representation to the company while at the same time holding our litigation costs at a reasonable level. She always adheres to our case handling standards and billing requirements. She is responsive to our questions and inquiries, keeping us informed and up-to-date. I respect her professionalism as a partner in handling litigation. She identifies the issues and moves to resolve them expeditiously. She tells you what you should be thinking so that you can move the matter to resolution without incurring unnecessary costs. She is not afraid to try a case and is well prepared to do so should the matter proceed to trial.

I am a Casualty Claims Manager for a national retailer and I have been working with Stacy for over 10 years. She has handled hundreds of cases for us and I have always been extremely happy with her work. She is responsive, organized, significantly involved in the handling of all of her files, focused on case strategy and always looking for a way to reach our ultimate goal of file closure. She is also very efficient with her time and billing. I would highly recommend Stacy as counsel for any retailer or business.

I hired Mr. Fedick to go after someone who blew a red light and rear-ended me. He ended up going after both the driver and his company and not only got all of my bills taken care of, but also got me some money for pain and suffering.
He's a nice guy and knows his stuff, but I would have liked him even more if he gave me advanced warnings (not 24 hours or less) when I needed to be downtown because I was living out of IL at the time.

I am incredibly grateful to Mr. Judd Azulay and his team for their exceptional guidance and unwavering support throughout my long journey to obtaining my green card. From the moment I sought their counsel, Mr. Azulay's deep expertise and strategic advice were invaluable. His proactive approach and thorough understanding of immigration law laid a solid foundation for my case.
Throughout the process, Mr. Azulay's team, especially Vangie Abron, played a crucial role with her meticulous attention to detail and relentless pursuit of accuracy in every document and application. Her dedication ensured that everything was in order, which was instrumental in achieving a positive outcome.
Thanks to their professionalism and commitment, I now hold my green card, marking the end of a challenging yet ultimately successful journey. I cannot recommend Mr. Azulay and his team highly enough for anyone navigating the complexities of immigration law. They truly go above and beyond for their clients.

Do your research before you meet with any lawyer in USA.I made mistake and I didn’t,now this is going to cost me nice amount of money but what is more important you’re going to waste your time which is irretrievable.
If you are thin with nerves you can bet you’ll stay without those if you get in any deal with this firm.
I came to this office by recommendation of my friend and that’s why I never done any research on them but if you’re reading this today you are on the good path.If you check the reviews you’ll notice majority of them are negative and from my experience I’ll tell that they are true.
I’m not ever writing reviews but I had to this one because I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t.
I had consultation with MR Ira about my case 3 months ago.Since my case is open for a few years now we had lot of things to talk about.
MR Ira looked great and gave impression that he’s decent,all you wish for,attorney.
I told him right away that the only problem I had with my previous attorney was that I felt like I’ve been pushed a side from.When you’re paying someone 500$ per hour you don’t want to be forgotten and to remind them you’re still around.Not sure if only I feel this way.
He promised that’s not happening with him.
I paid him 2800$ for paperwork transfer,he even charged for paper that he’ll use printing those which supposed to be red flag right away but I already wrote I got there by recommendation.The deal was that once he goes through the paperwork for my case he’ll give me a call and we’ll make strategy how we’ll proceed with the case.
After 3 months I still hadn’t heard from anyone from this office beside the lady on front desk since she’s answering and attorney there is always busy or whatever.
I tried calling several times,left voicemails,sent emails,left messages wit front desk lady.You can guess what happened
NOTHING
So my advice to you readers.
If you have money that you don’t need and you like your time wasted go visit this firm,they are waiting for you.
Don’t be naive like I was

When I signed up with the firm in March of 2017 I provided a slew of documents to the paralegal that he had a female employee scan. I was told by the paralegal that they send subpoenas for documents because lawyers don't depend on clients to turn over documents from 3rd parties. That made sense to me. I never set eyes on Wierzbicki until my deposition in fall of 2018. Opposing Counsel alleged that he'd only gotten various documents the day of my deposition in the fall of 2018. Wierzbicki told Opposing Counsel I'd just brought them into his office the day of my deposition even though he stated on the record that Nona is under the impression she'd given these to us previously. I have no idea what discovery was ordered by Wierzbicki when he was on the case but, I know there was a subpoena sent out for medical documents in 2017 and then a letter to the WC doctors office in June 2018 prior to my deposition for medical records. Opposing Counsel made an issue of it with the Judge alleging he did not get notice from Horwitz that they'd sent out a subpoena for documents nor did he get a copy of any documents in response to the 2017 subpoena. When the Judge asked Attorney Carter what happened with the subpoena request for discovery sent out in 2017, Atty. Carter's response was " I don't know." Carter was co-counsel with Wierzbicki. When Wierzbicki was on the case. Wierzbicki failed to notify me that he failed to appear in court on the case so, the case was dismissed. He filed a Motion to have it reinstated alleging he just didn't have the date on his calendar. When I inquired why nobody told me that case had been dismissed and reinstated, I was told that it happens all the time. Wierzbicki was off the case after my deposition. Carter and Starshak took over the case. I ended up asking Carter to file a Declaration with the court detailing misrepresentations that were made to the court about me by Horwitz lawyers and Opposing Counsel. Carter came into court with a Motion to Withdraw because of the Declaration I asked him to file. The Motion to Withdraw was denied but, Carter was firm about not representing me. The Judge would not allow me to finish a sentence when I tried to ask for time to get new counsel. The Judge Sandra Ramos said I had to represent myself or Horwitz would have to represent me. Carter even told the Judge he'd take a friendly contempt. So, Carter and Opposing Counsel suggested I could Dismiss the case with leave to refile. I went into the hallway for about 5 minutes with Carter to discuss it. It was a strained point in time to have to make a split decision without legal counsel that was on your side but, I did what Carter and Opposing Counsel suggested, dismissal with leave to refile. Problem is that when other lawyers reviewed the rulings from the Judge, they all said NO because of the various sanctions she dished out which didn't make me appear to be an honest client. I couldn't file a malpractice suit because it requires medical experts who require lots of money and it would require a non lawyer understanding the medical evidence. No lawyer would handle the malpractice case because it required that I first refile the personal injury case that NO lawyer would refile based on the sanctions. It appeared that I was the one responsible for providing the discovery to Horwitz that Opposing Counsel alleged he never got. That assumes that the client knew what the lawyers hadn't gotten in the way of discovery. I tried talking to Horwitz's malpractice adjuster but, she said her clients felt that they hadn't done anything wrong. You would think that lawyers would put their clients interest above their own but, to me it seemed like Horwitz lawyers were more interested in covering up their own failures/malpractice than protecting the interest of their client.

I was introduced to Horwitz Horwitz & Associates, Ltd. by my uncle after having an unproductive relationship with my previous attorney. I was assigned Michael Wierzbicki for my automobile personal injury case. Mr. Wierzbicki was an immediate change to my previous attorney, as he would immediately answer any question or concern I had. He is always clear and detailed and will take time out of his day to help you. He is also always professional and friendly, which I have found is hard to find in attorneys. Mr. Wierzbicki had a very long 7 year battle in my case, but was ultimately victorious. Its my opinion that he won due to his exceptional knowledge of the law and his drive and determination. I highly recommend Mr. Wierzbicki!

It is with great pleasure and honor that I write this review for an attorney that I feel stands above all others. Several years ago I was involved in an automobile accident. It was my good fortune to be introduced to Michael Wierzbicki and to subsequently have him as my attorney. For those of you who have not experienced a situation such as this, it brings your entire life to an immediate stop. Confusion and helplessness become your primary emotions. This is the point at which you hope to have someone who can step in and provide you with the guidance, help, and advice that you need to get back on your feet. This is where Michael Wierzbicki became my savior. Not only is Michael highly talented and knowledgeable about the law, but he is also extremely patient and compassionate towards his clients. His practical and knowledgeable approach, lead my case through this process to a successful end! I highly recommend you give Mr. Wierzbicki the opportunity to see if he can help you out.

I definitely appreciate an awesome attorney. Mr. Abrams and his team always answered my text messages, emails, and returned my phone calls. I never felt gaslighted or ignored by anyone. Mr. Abrams took the time to explain everything to me via over the phone or in-person on the process, hold up, or if they had questions of me. I would recommend him to anyone who ask. Thank you Mr. Abrams and Liz (secretary). Appreciate you.

They don’t respond they are terrible it’s truly sad they are out here making your life harder and not easier. I’ve been calling and emailing nonstop since November no call back no email. NOTHING. They moved the office and didn’t even tell me I had to call the trustee to get an address on them. I’m literally sitting here crying because I’m tired of being on the bus with my 3 small children! They won’t return anything to help me get a car or anything! At this point I’m about to report them to EVERYONE I can until I’m done dealing with these low down lying unprofessional people! They played with the right one😃

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.
If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:
- Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
- Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
- Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
- Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
- Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
- Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.
Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.
What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?
A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
- Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
- Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
- Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
- Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.
How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
- Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
- Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.
Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer
Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome. -
How long will the process take?
Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What types of damages can I recover?
Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death 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.
- Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like 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 reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
- Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
- Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
- Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
- Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
- Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice.
