Tim was outstanding in helping me navigate the process of closing my mother’s estate. There were several steps and obstacles along the way and Tim walked me through each one with understanding, knowledge, patience, and direction. He is a straight shooter and pulls no punches. I enjoyed working with him and would definitely be calling him again should I need an attorney in the future.

Tim Somen helped me with the closing on my mother's townhome as she is moving into assisted living. He did a good job, and I could recommend him. The firm is located on the corner, 1st floor. Handicapped accessible parking, but not entryway. Typical law firm layout. The conference room was clean, well lit, and at least 10 people.

Tim represented me in a Trust case. Very knowledgeable and personable. He has an upbeat attitude, and is always available to answer questions or concerns. He will explain everything in detail to make sure each step is understood, through to a favorable resolution. He went above and beyond, which was so appreciated. I would highly recommend him.

I have worked with this firm and Jennifer Johnson for several years. Their team with Linda Kuziel and others have helped my family through some interesting situations: ranging from guardianship, home buying & selling, to a wage dispute with a former employer. They treated every situation and every inquiry seriously. I can't say enough about the great communication and their level of professionalism. Use this firm with confidence.

I highly recommend this law firm. I had a major issue with the state of Illinois and IDES. I had tried on my own to deal with this situation for 6-7 months with no luck. Jonathan Kaman and his paralegal Linda Kuziel were able to get this taken care of for me. They were very kind and understanding of the problem and really went the extra mile to solve this problem. They succeeded where I failed. I am going to be needing a lawyer for some estate planning and they definitely have my business for anything I may need in the future.

I made a huge mistake when I hired this attorney for a difficult case. There are so many ways I could point out how unethical she was but I’ll stick to a few. Early on, I sent an email requesting an answer for a question that came up in my case. Her response was she wasn’t here to answer my questions. Thankfully, Google gave a far more thorough and intelligent answer than she could have done and they are a free service. Before one of my hearings, she said she had a death in the family and wouldn’t be at court but that her husband would show up to represent me. When, out of politeness, I asked him how she was doing with the loss of her loved one, her husband told me it was *his* dad that had died. She sent her husband to show up for her client’s court case when it was *HIS* dad that died. I could not tell if Ms. Grey was incapable, lazy or both. I question the accuracy of her billing based on several red flags that all seemed to be in her favor. Watch the clock and supervise her closely. I’m thankful I found a great attorney in Chicago that made Ms. Grey look even worse in comparison. Find a competent attorney that knows the law, answers questions, shows up to court and actually argues the case. If your case goes to trial, I would be wary for multiple reasons. Between the lack of preparation, contact and professionalism, as well as questionable billing, I don’t believe Ms. Grey is the best option. In fact, she would be my last choice. I’d represent myself before I would hire Ms. Grey. My billing would be accurate, my demeanor would be professional and I wouldn’t send my grieving husband to do my job. Google will provide better service than Paulette Grey ever will be and Google is free! Anyone but her!!

Tim was great to work with. Everyone at the office was friendly and welcoming. Good people, nice facility, excellent service. I would highly recommend Somen Law for any and all of your legal needs.

We used Tim in multiple real-estate transactions. Tim is amazing! He is on top of everything and gets things done. Not only a great attorney but we now consider him a friend!

Paulette represented my significant other for short period of time before they parted ways. From my POV, she was extremely rude and talked down to him. I didn't see what value he was getting from the outrageous billables. Seeing how his new attorney was far competent (in my opinion), treated him better and the billables were much more reasonable. I would not recommend her.

Our home heath agency has been working with ZCW&S for many years now. Linda is a pleasure to work with. She is very prompt, thorough and is great with communication. The attorney's we have worked with over the years have been fantastic as well. I would highly recommend their firm!

My family has used this firm for a number of years and has received excellent service. They have gone above and beyond expectations. I would highly recommend them.

Tim Somen assisted us in closing on our dream home. We appreciate his attention to detail and energetic service. Also made a boring process fun with his humor. I would highly recommend Tim.
