I was privileged to have received help from Anthony regarding my high conflict divorce case. Who we select to guide and represent us is a critical decision. Luckily Anthony was referred to me and I will always be grateful for his support and assistance. He returned my calls quickly and on time. Once on the call he asks key questions to get to the bottom of your issue and quickly gives you the bottom line. This guidance moves your case along and I appreciated his integrity and honesty. He is very familiar with the DuPage court system and consistently has his finger on the pulse which helps the client navigate the difficult, confusing process. He is a wonderful, ethical family man and he will be a solid choice and advocate/partner for you. Look no further, the outcome of my case was enhanced due to his knowledge and skillset. You will maximize your results for sure.

I recently finalized my divorce and hired Anthony Giudice very early on in the process and I was sure happy that I did. Anthony made a very difficult and confusing time and process so much easier to handle and really took the time to understand my situation and come up with a plan that worked for me. Anthony was extremely responsive to all of my requests and would make sure that I fully understood my situation each step of the process. Anthony always took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I was prepared for each step of the process. All i have are good things to say about Anthony and his team!

Anthony Giudice is simply the best!! He's very 'real', and he doesn't feed you a line of malarkey. In a world/situation that can be so crazy, he brings a sense of calmness. He's sincere and has his clients best interest at heart. We were more than amazed with the service he provided, and the way he provided it. He's genuine, professional, responsive, patient, courteous, factual, caring, respectful and PRICELESS. We can't thank him enough!! Thanks for being you, Anthony!! :)

As a client of Anthony Giudice from Goosetree Law Group, I highly recommend him to anyone who needs Family Matters set in place. I originally had my case with a different Law Firm and had lost all hope after several court dates and nothing was getting done. I was recommended to Anthony and contacted him right away. Anthony was able to accommodate me that same day with a free consultation which was a bonus. I met with him explained my concerns, what I was hoping for and caught him up to speed. Anthony made all the proper paperwork to take my case and he got to work. He was everything I hoped for in an Attorney. Very knowledgeable, easy to keep in touch with, kept me in the loop after every court date and most importantly he listened to what I wanted. We had a very successful case and everything was done in a reasonable amount of time even with Covid shutdown. Thank you for all your hard work Anthony. I Made the right decision when I decided to continue my case with Goosetree Law group.

I recently retained Attorney Franzetti. She had been recommended to me by another trusted attorney. From our very first conversation I knew that my situation, sensitive as it was, would be handled with the utmost attention to detail. Franzetti had all the right listening skills, follow-up questions, and plan of attack. This immediately put me at ease. Throughout the proceedings she not only addressed my immediate concerns, but also had the foresight to stay steps ahead of any possible direction the case may take while navigating the legal system. I couldn’t have been more pleased with her professionalism, care and concern for myself, and of course, the outcome of my situation. After having been disappointed by previous attorneys, I can say with confidence that if you are considering Franzetti for you’re your legal needs……look no further!

I would highly recommend David to anyone. As I was going through an emotional roller coaster through my divorce, he answered all the questions I had, ensured I was comfortable and aware of the possible outcomes, and ensured everything was closed as soon as possible! He always communicates well, I never had to follow up. I also never felt he was simply lingering a case to rack up the hours, which I have experienced before. He is personable, yet will fight your battle. David also helped me with another matter concerning my daughter, and it was handled and closed quickly.

Dave Kozlowski helped me file a claim after I was in a car accident. He was able to explain to me the legal process involved in making such a claim - and he did so in clear, concise language easily understood by a typical person. He did not lead me to believe I would 'get rich' or that it would be a 'slam-dunk' of a case. I appreciated the honesty in my odds. I would recommend this attorney to family and friends should the need arise. He is friendly, courteous, and extremely competent.

  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.

    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Geneva, Illinois?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
