Arlo is great to work with! He guided me in understanding the process of trademarking my business name. I’m confident and excited moving forward. I highly recommend working with Arlo.

Andrew and Arlo were wonderful to work with! I represented the seller on a real estate transaction, and they were very professional, efficient, and easy to communicate with. They had the drive to get the job closed even though several hurdles came up during the transaction. I cannot recommend enough!

Arlo, Andrew, & Beth are great! They take the time to listen to you about what’s important to you in passing money to your heirs. They’re very knowledgeable on estate planning laws. They even know the minute differences in law between different counties in IL and what to avoid. They have a streamlined process in place which makes putting your essential estate documents in place easy. And they charge a fair and reasonable price.

I am highly disappointed in this lawyer. Simple probate for my dad's estate. He claimed that he has done hundreds of probates. Charged the estate for reviewing the paperwork necessary TO FILE THE WILL. Spent 4 hours with my family in his basement GLOOMY COLD on a zoom call for the court hearing. The judge told the lawyer that the affidavit wasn't correct and that in order to have it admitted that it would need to be resubmitted. Add another court date. To top it off my family didn't need to be there. Took off work with no pay.I had another hearing a month later and finally received the court paperwork to proceed with the administrative duties of the estate. The total cost for his mistake was around $2000. I asked him about it and his reply was that it HAPPENS. I WANTED TO BE INFORMED ON HOW THE REST OF THE PROBATE PROCESS WORKED. I was billed for THIS INFORMATION. HIS ATTORNEY PROVIDED THE wrong information. His lawyer quit a month later . There are many more issues with this lawyer. My ordeal cost my dad's estate several thousands of dollars thus far. Very deceitful about future fees and what the cost to finish the probate are. LACKS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATION Fees for the estate executor. He told me he didn't have time to check the case law . VERY DISAPPOINTED. AVOID THIS LAWYER.

Andrew Szocka, PC, helped one of our clients with a problem with a future neighbor. They had inherited a piece of property that had been in the family for a long time and because of a fire 15 years earlier, there was no longer a house on the land. Over the years the neighbor began mowing the property, and eventually built walkways, a patio and planted a garden. Because he had taken care of the land, he claimed Adverse Possession. Andrew was able to navigate a difficult and disruptive situation in a friendly way and was kind to both parties involved. He was easy to work and responds quickly to any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Andrew Szocka.

Andrew and his staff are professional and easy to work with. Andrew is very responsive and helpful with all of our questions and legal needs. Highly recommend!
