Jeanna Raney at Blake Behme Law Group was awesome to work with! She answered all my questions as clearly as possible and when I didn’t understand something she “dumbed” it down for me. Personally, my situation was stressful and the entire time I was just a nervous wreck going through the process, but Jeanna was gracious and patient with me. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!

I would highly recommend Megan Gilbreth. I was very impressed with her professionalism and promptness in answering all of my questions. I would definitely seek her counsel again if needed.

Megan Gilbreth and Blake Law Group assisted me with estate planning. The firm was very responsive to my questions and handled everything in a timely and professional manner. I would highly recommend Blake Law Group and will use their services for future legal needs.

Beware..... I've written the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of IL, to file a complaint/investigation against this firm. Their practices of typing letters to reply to emails to confirm receipt, then billing you billable hours is atrocious. Was assured he could help us with Living Trust and delivered nothing in his own timeline. Had the audacity to bill us $1900+ for typing letters saying they received our emails. Not a technology savvy firm.

Great law firm for all your legal needs! Ed Blake represented me when my mother passed away and my sister was taking everything. Mr. Blake was aggressive, diligent and was very proactive in my case. Mr. Blake took depositions and engaged in extensive discovery with opposing counsel so I was able to find out everything that had occurred since my mother passed away. I was able to receive a better result than I even imagined! This is a top notch firm!!

Received good legal advice on a complicated encroachment issue.

Horrible. I feel like I hired a bunch of vampires. They don’t have paralegals so they charge you for every little possible thing. They get very little work done but make it seem like they have a csi team working. Using a findpeople webpage that took 5 minutes to track someone but made it seem like they spent diligent hours searching. They also billed me for billing me. They are useless and I regret ever walking in that door. I paid them 2k so far and it still hasn’t gone anywhere. They tried to make me pay a second retainer fee 6 months later as well. My case is open and shut and the evidence speaks for itself. Idk how much work there really is to do. Stay away from them! And don’t get blinded by reviews written by themselves.

I feel like the Blake Law Group pulled a bait and switch on me. I originally retained Jennifer Behme, whom seemed very knowledgeable, then was assigned Megan Gilberth without explanation. Megan Gilberth has absolutely no business practicing family law. She is not knowledgeable on the subject. I hired the Blake Law Group to represent me to get arrears removed and obtain a modification of my support order. I found more information on my case on Google then I did from her. She does not respond to emails, calls, or voicemails. I only met with her a few weeks before going to court, she didn’t remember meeting me before while in court. The results in court were laughable. I am now in worse shape than before hiring the Blake Law Group. Ms. Gilberth refused to fight for me. I already felt like a caged animal because of a narcissistic ex-wife that has manipulated me and my children. Now I’m in debt to a horrible attorney with a resolution that I could have been had without any representation. She knew the history of the judge we were to argue my case in front of but failed to tell me that most of my evidence would not be admissible. The whole case could have been over for the $500 retainer. $10,000 later and I am worse off than before. After complaining about Megan’s service to the managing partner, Edward Blake, they firm withdrew from my case.

Pretty place but not what I needed

Gary Burger is a world-class lawyer. I often refer him cases and the people that I send to Burger Law are very well treated.

Blake Law Group is an exceptional firm that has a tremendous history of providing top service for their clients. I first hand can attest to their integrity and work as being comparable to or greater than any major city firm.
