I hired the law offices of Jonathan Merel after they were highly recommended by another law firm to me to renegotiate and address several issues from my divorce decree of 3 years prior. From the first meeting with Jonathan & Melissa, I felt and knew that I was in very capable and professional hands with this firm. They were clear, methodical and diligent in their unwavering attention to my case. They were detail oriented, punctual and extremely thorough and knowledgable about Matrimonial Law. Jonathan, Melissa & Josephine kept me abreast of concerns and were extensively supportive, patient and focused while guiding me thru the process. I have absolutely no hesitations or reservations in Highly Recommending The Law Offices of Jonathan Merel.

A firm that puts the client first! Jonathan & Melissa are GREAT! Both attorneys are compassionate and caring, truly give their all for their clients. As my ex tried to drag his feet on and push out the divorce; Jonathan kept pushing at each obstacle, continuing to move forward and not let it be an ongoing tribulation. Jonathan was with me each step and hurdle and made the process a little easier. Would recommend (and have!!) to all.

Divorce, very unsatisfied with Michael Levy, luck of experience.

Jonathan and his entire team are professional, thorough and compassionate. They understand the difficulty of the situation and work tirelessly as a champion of your best interests. They made me feel like I was getting the best possible representation.

Bruce was my attorney for almost 2 years and was nothing, but supportive, attentive, and responsive throughout my entire legal case. He asked questions, welcomed questions, and was always willing to listen to every detail. He advocated for me and always had my best interest in mind. I would recommend him ten times over. Wonderful experience.

Professional, personable, and very easy to work with. If you want an organization with the experience and the knowledge to handle your case; talk to these guys!

I had been searching for legal assistance for a child support process I had started but had questions and needed help. In my search, I stumbled upon a website that gets you in contact with institutions you can get help from. I ended up being referred to Jonathan Merel by the Chicago Bar Association when I submitted a request for legal assistance for a $30.00 consultation fee. When he contacted me this morning, he was extremely rude and condescending as if he was being bothered by my request. He would not allow me to explain my situation and kept asking questions as if he was yelling at a kid who is not listening to an adult for instructions. I ended up telling him that I did not think he would be able to help me. He asked why and I just told him that I was not comfortable with him… He did not even let me finish my sentence, said “good luck to you”, and hung up the phone on me. That was the kind of service I was offered. For sure I will never come close to seeking legal assistance with anyone related to this firm. Awful service! Rating scale needs to add negative stars, that's what he deserves.

Bary Gassman is a tenacious advocate for his clients. Bary represented me in a personal injury claim, and his meticulous attention to detail and insightful approach led us to a successful settlement. I trusted that Bary was out for my best interest, and Bary made me feel like a very important client. He has excellent knowledge of the law, is thorough, and did all research necessary to be well informed and well-prepared. He was professional, returned my calls, emails promptly, and updated me regularly. He was personable, made me feel at ease, answered all my questions and explained everything in a very easy-to-understand manner. I highly value Bary and recommend him.

Bary Gassman is the only attorney I trust to refer any of my friends and family and family to for any personal injury cases or questions. I'm confidant he will fairly asses their case and honestly let them know whether they have a viable claim. If they do, I also know they're in the best hands with Bary representing them to reach a settlement or if needed, try their case. I hope never to need his services myself but should I ever get hurt by anyone else in the future, I know who my first call after 911 will be to...Gassman Legal, P.C.!
