DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM! I hired this firm back in April 2024 for a relocation case. Twice they threatened to pull out even with a financial agreement with Matt. AS of today Kevin decided my case wasn't worth the firms time and wants the attorney I had to focus on " money making" cases! I understood my case was going to be lengthy cause of my ex hence why I made a financial payment plan agreement with matt. Also the payment plan was inplace cause the office was vebally over the phone taking payments and not applying them. I did not expect the firm to back out and make me feel as my case wasn't important. I have jumped through every hoop asked. I was completely blind sided 9-5-2024 . If you are so unlucky to hire this firm, protect yourself and get everything in writing! DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM

I retained this firm 2.5 years ago, came in and paid all my bills in full everytime they used money from my retainer. There was 3 attorneies that left while I was with this firm one of which was the one who was reperesnting me.as soon as found out my attorney left the firm in went in and canceled my contract with this firm and asked for a fefund on my retainer and a portion was returned to me. After that 2 months later a received another bill saying I owed them more money. How when I canceled my contract and fired this firm from my case. Now I still receive emails saying I owe them money when there was 2500 dollars on my retainer which should be enough to file an appearance and a withdraw motion. I have all sorts of proof of this and will use it on court against this firm, I also have 4 ex employees that will gladly provide me statements and testify if needed, theres a reason why these people left this firm and i dont blame them, this firm has stole more money from me then any of the firms ive used before. Good luck Kevin, I make 600 bucks a week, isnt that alot of money to sue for? I will also have my current lawyer look into this and provide me everything I need to handle this matter legally.

I wish Google would let you leave zero or negative stars. Please please please for the love of God read and pay attention to these reviews!!! I didn’t, and it backfired terribly. This place is a total scam. I was charged nearly 10k for them to do absolutely NOTHING in my case. Ultimately they dropped me as a client (which was fine), I knew very early on I wanted to fire my attorney as it was evident she didn’t know what she was doing. she had no sympathy for my situation. She just kept running up the bill. There are other well known firms to consider. It may seem like they charge more but these people will take EVERYTHING from you and do nothing in return. I’m fighting a child support/ custody case and she wanted me to settle for next to nothing. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!!

They handled my divorce and did not finish the necessary paperwork for the QDRO I was entitled to. I was told it was done. When I called to tell them the mistake they made the owner would not return my messages and take no responsibility for their mistake. I now have to hire another lawyer to finish the process they did not. This law firm is not professional and I would never recommend them to anyone.

Had Nathan Reyes represent me and he was fantastic to work with. Had great communication and such an honest guy. I would highly recommend!

About 5 years ago I used Mary Sump, from Bruning and Associates, for my divorce. She was able to deliver the results I was hoping for and more. I was so thoroughly satisfied with the service I received that when I was in need of an order of protection for my son and modification of the original custody agreement, I did not hesitate to use Mary again. I truly believe she cares about her clients and I never felt like I was being taken advantage of. She is always extremely prompt in getting back to me and is nothing less than a professional. Her knowledge and effectiveness is unprecedented. The outcome of the more recent case was, once again, everything I had been hoping for and more. If I ever need representation in the future there is no question that I will be using Bruning and Associates again.

I happily recommend Bruning & Associates for all facets of legal representation. We have hired them repeatedly & we have always been satisfied with the outcome. I have worked with multiple attorneys there & across the board they have always asked the right questions to ascertain what is our ultimate goal. They are experts at laying out options & giving valuable guidance & insights. The support staff is also strong in responsiveness & communication.

Sargun and his team are very professional. I don't want to trust my legal needs to a TV or Billboard personality but a local group of professionals who don't treat you like a number. Thanks Sargun!

This post should have been done a few months ago I had received the letter from the law firm Bruning and Associates Kevin Bruning to be exact recommending that I come in and have my trust looked at (not realizing that my lawyer had moved on) I never received a letter that he moved on I initially paid $2,500 for a trust that any amendments would be taken care of no charge that was in the 2500. I received the letter from Mr Kevin Bruning regarding a review of my trust. I was charged $1,000.00 for this minor change, I was informed yesterday 2/6/23 that I am the 4th person they did this too. It is a deceptive practice and they know we had our trusts done with his firm. GREED , pure GREED. I had to borrow that money I am mad at myself for paying them. Stay away!

I’ve known and liked the owner for a decade. We’re Facebook friends, and I’ve sent friends to him. I can’t believe how unprofessional he was when taking my case. He agreed to be my attorney then passed me off to a brand new attorney who was a lovely person, but made many mistakes costing me thousands. We are currently disputing the bill and considering going to the states attorney to report them after the many, many mistakes and ridiculous charges. Use someone else. Sad to say this. I liked them very much personally, but professional they charged us such ridiculous amounts that we had to stop the “bleeding” and negotiate ourselves so we could drop them. $20,000 later we still can’t get answers to our most basic questions. Sad to say this…use another firm.

Nathan Reyes did a superb job representing my case to a win in the appeals court then a win at the Illinois Supreme court--I really appreciate his work and will be forever grateful
