If you need an attorney who truly cares about his clients, look no further. I highly recommend James Fabbrini, from Fabbrini Law Group, to anyone seeking legal services in personal injury, criminal defense, and a wide variety of related litigation cases. I am profoundly grateful for his exceptional services and results.

No good attorneys

I found myself in a legal matter I thought I would never be in. I was fortunate to obtain the services of Attorney Diggs. During this stressful time Attorney Diggs kept me appraised of the situation which had a positive resolution. His kindness and candor during this time was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Attorney Diggs to anyone who needs a family attorney.

BEERMANN BILLS ITS CLIENTS FOR FILING A "MOTION TO WITHDRAW" AT THE END OF ENGAGEMENTS. THE COOK COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT HAS RULED THESE CHARGES INAPPROPRIATE. BEERMAN ALSO BILLS FOR INTAKE CALLS WITHOUT ADVANCE AGREEMENT AND DOUBLE AND TRIPLE BILLS THROUGH ITS "TEAM APPROACH". I engaged Beermann for a complicated case that had a short timeline. They were aware of this from the beginning. According to attorney Colleen Breems “Beermann uses a team approach to our cases, and usually, that looks like assistance of our clerks, paralegals, and associates at lower hourly rates than mine to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness." I was specifically told that the blended rate of this team approach would be less than Breems' rate of $425/hour. In reality, Beermann's "team approach" billing looked more like 2 partners and a 3rd attorney on every call and copied on every email for a blended team rate of $1,190 per hour, or over 3x the rate I agreed to pay and adding little-to-no incremental value to my case. Beermann refused to remove the additional attorneys from each phone call and email even after several specific requests from me, and continued to charge for them, knowing that I would not have enough time to engage a new law firm before the upcoming pre-trial date. Beermann also billed me $425 for my pre-engagement business development call without disclosing this before the call and $1,156 for a non-representation related Motion to Withdraw after I fired them, and refused to remove the latter charge when I disputed it. As a result, I was forced to waste time and energy at a hearing filed by Beermann, where a Cook County Circuit Court Judge ruled that this charge was unlawful and found over $1,000 of other duplicative billings, although I believe the amount is far greater than this. To add insult to injury I was not well represented and Colleen Breems made several critical errors in presenting evidence and negotiated a legally favorable but commercially poor pre-trial settlement. The subsequent Order was poorly drafted and has resulted in wasting dozens of hours and thousands of dollars dealing with fee disputes and enforcing it. Overall, I would recommend that people do not hire this law firm and if they do, they should carefully check past and future bills for unlawful and duplicative charges.

When first learning about Richard Hanus and his firm, I was grappling with serious immigration issues stemming from the misguided advice of a previous attorney. The uncertainty and stress caused by the incorrect guidance left me feeling lost and unsure about my future in America. Thankfully, I found Richard, as he and his firm showed unwavering dedication and expertise in handling my case. Not only does he have a deep understanding of immigration law, but his steady, consistent guidance instilled confidence in me throughout the process and that my case was a top priority for him and his firm. Richard has a proven track record of successful cases and his approach can best be characterized by clear and firm communication, attention to detail, and a genuine desire to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients. Additionally, Richard is exceptionally compassionate and he takes the time to listen to his clients' concerns, understand their unique circumstances, and tailor legal strategies accordingly. Overall, the exceptional level of service and support I received from Richard and his team made my experience with him truly outstanding.

Phil Bareck is one of the best lawyers I know. He cares and fights for his clients. I would highly recommend him.

David Barish is extremely knowledgeable and has been a pleasure to work with throughout the entire and execution process of my denied bi-lateral carpel tunnel case. I’m very happy I got the best care, all my bills are paid, and resolution was met without a trial! David stood by my side to the very end. I would highly recommend David from Katz-Friedman.
