Mr. Palmisano retired due to health reasons. The other attorneys left and set up shop in Orland Park. The Suite 63 is now owned and occupied by FWM Beauty. It has been so for at least 6 months. It is easy to verify this just type FWM Beauty and see the address is the same as the Palmisano Law Group old address.

Don't Hire Them! I hired Jennifer Clancy for a child support case. They told me what I wanted to hear and got my retainer. After my initial consultation that I assumed was free, they charged over $600 from my retainer. After I questioned that they knocked it down in half but it should still have been no charge IMO. Had to stay on her to keep the case moving. Fast forward to the hearing date Jennifer had NO argument for the judge to consider modifying my child support. No cited case law, no plan, and no reason to tell the judge why it should be changed. Even the judge was waiting for her legal argument but she did not prepare anything. Just kept repeating, "my client shouldn't have to pay!" BUT wait there's more!! 9 DAYS after I lost the case I got served with a notice they were suing me for an additional $1,800 I owed them. (Gave them $3,500 to start) This was the balance of the bill I owed them after court. I never got any bill!!! No call to me, no email, and no letter stating I had a balance to settle. Just a court date subpoena. It was the most unprofessional way to do business. They had all my contact information and could have called. Unfortunately I just paid the bill to be done with her and not go to court. Read all the other reviews too and then find a real lawyer. March 2022 update: In response to Jennifer's reply below, I call BS. They claim in their reply "Mr. Naughton agreed to an unusual provision in his Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage..." as a reason the case wasn't won. It is true I agreed to an unusual provision BUT this was the SOLE REASON I wanted to modify my child support. Jennifer and Jim assured me this was a winnable case and "no problem" to get my child support modified. That statement was the reason I hired them!! SMH. I do agree any case can be lost no matter how strong it seems. Notice they didn't address the portion of my review where 9 days after the case concluded they filed a suit against me their client. I never got a final bill at all. Jennifer knew my phone number and email when corresponding about the case but decided to just take me to court to pay the balance owed. So Jennifer (who had NO case law to bring to the judge) in the future, don't lie about your chances to win a case and STOP serving your clients with law suites when they owe you money. Send them a final bill. Please hire anyone besides Palmisano if you want a chance. I am to blame for hiring Jennifer!

For someone to be appointed to a case and supposedly have the best interest for the child Jennifer Clancy definitely dropped the ball and missed that memo. I would not recommend her to my worst of enemies! She is very unprofessional and does not consider all factors when making the rash decisions she chooses to make. Not taking into account how her decisions effect the children. When looking for someone to represent your family, your children I would strongly suggest looking anywhere but here. No disrespect to the rest of the law firm but her DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, ENERGY OR MONEY!!!!!!!!!

Well recommend! Really happy with my case and he will fight for on what you want.

The best decision I have made besides leaving my soon to be ex-husband, is hiring The Palmisano Law Group to represent me. James has been my life savor this past year. With all the difficult situations that has arrived during this case, he never missed one of my phone calls. He is ALWAYS there to help guide me with each situation. He has won every court case thus far and has helped me get through so many difficult situations my soon to be EX has brought to me. He is extremely professional and works on a timely matter. He understands the law, and represents the case so will in court! Thank you James and the Palmisano Law group for working endlessly on my case, and helping support me get through the most difficult times, along with winning each court date for me. The absolute best of the best!

The fast acting team gets the job done in a timely manner. I am grateful for the prompt responses in the form of calls and emails that helped move my case along quickly. Thank you to everyone at the Palmisano law group.

This law firm saved my life. If it were not for Jim & Jennifer I could have lost everything I’ve ever worked for. I thank The Palmisano Law Group for their level of expertise and professionalism. They worked endlessly to make sure that I stayed ahead in my divorce by narrowing everything down to the FACTS. These two made a magnificent team in the courtroom and they allow each other to shine in their respectful places. Jennifer stayed in contact with me with constant updates and she made sure I was prepared to face my case head on. Jim was stern and extremely knowledgeable when it came to my case and when navigating the courtroom. Jennifer, always made sure to double check the facts and she made me feel confident. If anyone is unhappy about the price or service then they simply do not want to win. Time is money and money gets the job done right. Simply put, divorce takes a lot of TIME. Thank you Jim and Jennifer for everything that you’ve done and all the guidance that you’ve given to me through this entire process. Because of your dedication, I have my family.

I had nothing but good experiences while dealing with Palmisano Law Group. Megan was very attentive and did everything she could for my case. Any questions or concerns I had, she was there to listen and always had an answer. She kept me informed every step of the way and whenever something happened with our case I was informed immediately. Some of these people don’t understand that court takes time & a good lawyer means $$$. The system is jacked up here but that’s not your lawyers fault!!! Thank you Megan for everything you did for us!!

This law firm represented my family members a complicated dual custody situation. Since two members of the same household had custody and visitation cases arise at they same time they both chose to use the law firm, Palmisano Law Group. The law firm was given every detail of the complicated matters behind the cases. They still chose to request all parties have the same judge and have all parties in the same court room at the same time. Obviously things are more time and cost effective if an attorney has their cases heard in the same place at the same time. Unfortunately, in this complicated situation in which the firm was VERY educated on, they still chose this route. In doing this they created a conflict of interest then told my family members they had to make a choice. My family was told to drop a restraining order that was directed by them, the States Attorney and the police to attain in order to protect them from the conflict of interest they created or find another law firm. This put my family in a situation where they were told choose your safety and lose the over $10,000 you have spent for our services or drop the restraining order. Regardless of the short amount of time Megan Riordan has been practicing family law, someone else from this firm should have stepped in and made appropriate legal decisions based on the best interest of the children, not of the conflict the firm created. It is extremely disappointing to me and my family how unprofessionally this firm handled this case. An appropriate way to handle a conflict that the frim created would have been to assign another attorney from the firm to one of the two cases and request the original judge. It may not have been a foreseen conflict by the firm but their handling of the cases knowing the complications in fact did put all parties in the same place at the same time which did create the conflict. I am a strong believer in fixing an error you make. The Palmisano Law Group made an error. They owed it to their clients to fix it. Instead they chose to be unprofessional and threaten an already distraught family. How disgusting!

The firm has poorly represented my case and is now giving me an ultimatum to drop my order of protection against my abusive ex (that they recommended) because it directly effects another clients case or they will drop me as a client. Very unprofessional and untrustworthy! Would not recommend!

I hired his law group explicitly for a child support case in June. They assigned Jennifer Clancy to my case. The judge ordered a DNA test and she told the whole court she had never done a DNA test before and had to ask which lab to use. Extremely unprofessional and belligerent when contacted regarding valid case questions. I fired them in November of 2020 for unnecessarily dragging out my case. The next issue I had with this law group was with getting my unused retainer refunded back to me. They signed an inaccurate check amount in January. They intentionally sat on my check for 3 additional months and purposely dragged mailing out my check out until I contacted them in February. Pretty horrible having to ask where your money is when they didn’t have to ask me where their money was. Do yourself a favor and hire Mary Davis instead of these unprofessional expensive con artists.
