As an unwed, expectant father whose relationship had turned south with the future mother of my child, I was scared and in need of consul. Jim Hagler's caring and patient nature, combined with his legal prowess, put me at ease, knowing I had excellent representation. He was diligent, thorough and professional throughout the whole process of getting me the rights a father deserves. I could not be happier with the outcome! I would like to offer my strong recommendation for any father looking for an expert attorney to seek out representation by James Hagler at the Jeffrey Leving Law Firm. If I need any family law advice in the future, I know who to call!

I was being bullied by my wifes attourney and the child advocate. Feeling hopeless james Hagler from Jeffery M Leving LTD not only stepped in to ensure my rights as a father but enabled my visitation with my children on a continual basis moving forward. I am very fortunate as divorsed father in the state of Illinois that I found James Hagler. All fathers need advocates and the expertise of the Jeffery M Leving LTD firm to ensure you have accessibility to your children.

Coming from out of state and in dire need of an attorney with a very urgent and serious situation involving child custody, we were referred to Mr. Hagler's law firm. As we were unable to retain Mr. Hagler due to a conflict of interest, we were very disappointed but pleased with his attention to the specifics of our case, very understanding, compassionate and professional. We highly recommend Mr. Hagler!

My child custody case involves parental alienation. After not having any success with the first two attorneys I hired, I retained James Hagler with the Jeffrey LEVING FIRM. Mr. Hagler has the experience and knowledge needed and was able to finally help my case to move forward. He is aggressive in the court room with opposing counsel with a no nonsense attitude. I would absolutely recommend him to any father dealing with a custody case.

Going through a divorce is not a trivial task. Having Jim on my side was extremely beneficial as I navigated through through my divorce. Jim has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and wisdom that contributed to fair and equitable terms with my ex-wife. He has an excellent work ethic, always accessible, and is a man of integrity. He knows the games opposing lawyers try to play and will fights every one with legal brilliance only an experience attorney like him can. BOTTOM LINE. There are serious financial and relationship (if you have children) impacts when it comes to divorce. It's prudent to have a qualified and focused attorney on your side. Jim Hagler at Jeffrey Leving offices in Chicago is who you're going to want to talk to if you're serious about getting divorced AND want a great lawyer on your side.

Hi He helped me with a very difficult case of child custody against well known child custody attorney. He was very knowledgeble, tough, and understanding ! Has excellent communication skills and really knows what he is doing ! Wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again ! Many thanks !

I retained Jim to help me with a divorce filing. He was very understanding of my situation and provided me with legal advice which help me separate reality from my fears. This gave me confidence to negotiate my financial and custody agreements without being overly influenced by the emotions that come with the territory. He is a wise and strong advocate who will fight for your rights.

My first attorney did not do a very good job representing me and neither did the second. Finally, after 8 years of nonsense, I met with Mr. James Hagler and he and his team understood my concerns and acted quickly to address them. My situation involves a very toxic mother in a high conflict home filled with a lot of complications. He is very knowledgeable and responsive. I reached out to him on this past Father's Day and heard back from him within minutes--incredible! Hire him and you won't be disappointed.
