We greatly appreciated Staci's patience, persistence and determination throughout the process, we do not think we would have reached Closing without her efforts. Continuously went above and beyond in responding to and resolving countless issues. Always there with advice to keep us informed and jokes to keep us sane!

Staci has got to be the best real estate lawyer in the Chicago area. We worked with her for both buying and selling our condo. She knows her stuff, works very efficiently, and is super responsive to messages. Not to mention she is sincerely nice and positive in all business dealings. There's nobody else I'd rather have at my side when buying or selling real estate.

I had the pleasure of work with Staci on a condo purchase and wow was she so amazing. Each step of the way, she answered questions. But she was also very proactive. I got the sense she cares a lot about her clients. Super friendly, personable.

Bottom line, Staci should definitely charge more! Staci was a referral from our buyers agent and worked very hard and effectively for us on a recent condo purchase from a relocation firm (read as motivated seller). The price we got was very good but the seller wanted to close quickly and sell "as is". The closing was little more than a week after the offer was accepted, but Staci still made sure every i was dotted and t crossed well ahead of time. Her understanding of title, condo and Chicago real estate law seemed unusually strong and I never once felt our interests were anything but the top of her agenda. Staci pushed hard to get concessions for us and clearly enjoyed advocating for her clients against a stubborn opponent. At closing, when I saw how little she was getting paid for several hours of work, I told her she should bill at a higher rate. In fact, Staci's negotiations based on the inspection got us a credit that was more than her bill. If I had let her have fun with it, we might have ended up with one or two thousand more. With lawyers, you don't always get what you pay for, but with Staci we got more than we paid for.

Staci was by far the easiest attorney to work with. Very friendly, efficient and extremely thorough. I would definitely recommend Staci and would use her again in the future. She actually turned out to be a friend in the process.

Staci helped us sell our Condo in July 2017 and she did a fantastic job from our initial engagement all the way through to our close. She's responsive, energetic, knowledgeable, and can navigate the intricacies of real estate transactions. Highly recommended!

I have worked with Staci through multiple real estate transactions over the last 10 years - both as a client and as a colleague for clients of mine that were buying or selling. She is one of the most responsive attorneys I have worked with, which is necessary throughout a real estate transaction, as well as a stress reducer for the client. She is professional and keeps all involved up to date with anything that goes on throughout the course of the transaction. She is knowledgeable about almost anything that arises with a real estate transaction, and if she does not have the answer, she has the resources to get an answer quickly and effectively. She is my "go-to" attorney for any real estate deal of my own or for clients that need an attorney.

I have been a property flipper and landlord for about 15 years now with a fairly large volume of transactions which has given me a breadth of experience with associated support from lawyers, agents, inspectors, contractors, etc. Because of this, friends and colleges regularly come to me for referrals. I take these endorsements very seriously because they are also a reflection of me. For the last couple of years Staci Rhodes has been the only lawyer I have used and will continue to do so as long as she is available! We were introduced through "a friend of a friend of a friend" and I haven't looked back since. Compared to my vast experience, she is by far the most reliable, responsive, creative, knowledgeable and a simple pleasure to work with. Did I say responsive? That alone speaks volumes with lawyers and is a deal breaker if you can't step up to get back to me with the urgency I expect and make me feel like I am her only client and priority one. I'm an educated and demanding client, I realize that and don't apologize for that with any team members, and I expect the best. Because of the volume of transactions I alone have completed with Staci along with the results from those where I have already referred her, I can state with full confidence she won't let you down and will exceed your expectations. Feel free to contact me with questions.
