I have worked with Jon and his staff for over a decade. He is very pleasant, extremely knowledgable, and knows the laws inside and out. Jon and his staff are always available or will call you back quickly. I am extremely pleased with all their support and Jon has helped me through difficult times and now with my taxes!!! I so appreciate your humor, honesty and advice! I know I can rest easy that my taxes will be done perfectly!! I would recommend Thinking Outside The Box to anyone who needs financial help or tax services done to the best extent of the current laws!! Thank you! Susan Jamison Vernon Hills, IL

Erin O’Connell and her team at Blacha Law are professional and compassionate. From the beginning of my case Erin she made me feel safe and supported. Her advice was true all the way through the divorce and post-divorce proceedings. Though the case was difficult she was successful in helping us get to a place where we can move forward. If you need a divorce attorney, I highly recommend Erin O’Connell and the Law firm.

Do you know that dreaded feeling when you must deal with the IRS?! DO NOT stress, call John at Thinking Outside the Box, Law and ALL your stress of dealing with the IRS will be over. In 2015 I had a very complicated tax issue that caused me great stress. I was referred to John and after meeting him I handed the ENTIRE case, and process to him to handle. I no longer had to answer calls, worry and no stress AND he fixed my entire situation and I received a $18,000 reimbursement check from the IRS! THEN AGAIN this last year I had to deal with the IRS for almost $30,000. I tried to handle this myself thinking it would just be one phone call. After going round and round I contacted John again and he completed took over my case, no stress and I no longer owe the $30,000. PLEASE don't attempt to deal with the IRS yourself, John has been in the industry for so long, he is professional, kind, efficient and a great man of integrity to. Thank you John and to your wonderful staff for being there for me!! Nancy

I had a debt to the IRS that John and the the office at TOTBL took care of for me. He successfully filed an offer in compromise. I had talked to other attorneys, accountants etc. and no one had an answer for this. John took care of it and now were done. I can't say enough about their professionalism and attention to detail. Thank You John and all at Thinking Outside The Box Law.

I would highly recommend Blacha Law Office. Everyone was professional from my first call to the office for my initial consultation to the end of my case. Erin O’Connell was very responsive and fought to get the best outcome for me. Also, Erin (EJ) Groenewold (paralegal) was a pleasure to work with and helped explain each step along the way. Thanks to the entire team at Blacha Law!

I contacted Blacha Law Office to handle my highly contested divorce case. Monica Blacha and Erin Victoria O'Connell from Blacha law office did a great job handling my divorce. My case became increasingly more challenging as it progressed further towards the trial. I would highly recommend the legal service of this law firm. Should the unfortunate need arise, seek out the counsel of Erin Victoria O'Connell. It was pleasure to work with Blacha Law Office. Thanks!

Erin and her staff worked incredibly well as my team. Erin was clear and upfront with all communications. Spoke to me as an individual, not as a client. My case became increasingly more challenging half way through. She knew what the goal was and achieved the goal originally set; 100%! From what I understand, my divorce was rather quick, and Erin made it simple as well. Should the unfortunate need arise, seek out the counsel of Erin O'Connell.

Erin O'Connell was able to work out an agreement with my son's mom and be recognized as the residential parent. This was extremely difficult but Erin was there every step of the way. Extremely knowledgeable, professional and courteous af. Five stars are not enough.

Erin and her team did a great job of helping me through my divorce. Although mine wasn't as entangled and messy as some I've heard of, she treated it with the utmost of importance and guided me well throughout the way. I highly recommend them.

From the second I met them, I knew I was in good hands. All the time I spent worried about what was going on, and finally was working with someone the knew what to do, how to do it, and give me peace of mind which is what I needed the most. Very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very good at what they do. Highly recommend!!

I have had a positive experience with this firm and would recommend them .
