Mr. Edlund is a personable and skillful lawyer. His negotiating skills got us thru a difficult negotiation and sale of our house. His no nonsense approach helped move the process along in a timely fashion. His knowledge of the law and experience made us comfortable and confident in getting the job done. I highly recommend him.

A friend recommended Caroleann Gallagher and I understand why. Caroleann earned my trust. Not only did I have a much better than expected outcome, she methodically explained my options, translated complicated legal terms and clearly gave me great advice. She kept me informed of proceedings along the way and always promptly returned my calls. Ms. Gallagher is a top notch attorney and I highly recommend her.

Mr. Coogan was easy to work with and made sure I had my questions answered through out the process. Jim Coogan and staffed worked hard for me! I definitely recommend Jim Coogan.

Choosing the right person and firm to represent you can be a difficult thing to do. From the first day that I spoke with Caroleann Gallagher, I felt very confident that I had made the right choice. Caroleann was always very professional, respectful, and responsive. She took the time to listen to me and explain the process, options, and potential outcomes of my case. My best interests were always first and foremost. Would highly recommend giving them consideration!

I worked with Jennifer through a very difficult situation and she walked me through everything. She let me know what to expect every inch of the way. I couldn’t have done this without her council and reassurance. I will be referring everyone to this firm. I’m so grateful.

We hired Jennifer Ernest in March of 2020 when my mother-in-law passed in Florida to help sell MIL's condo in Illinois. Initially, Jennifer indicated no probate required. We listed the property, obtained a buyer and a week before closing Jennifer determined we, in fact, needed to probate in both Florida and Illinois. The short story of a year long process is, we filed in both states at over $4000 in costs. During this process, we not only lost our buyer but continued to pay monthly expenses on the condo. Jennifer was impossible to get in touch with, not returning calls or emails. There is no one in the office accepting phone calls. All you can do is leave message after message. Her attitude was very unprofessional, at one point asking me why I was so upset when I'd be getting a "big payday" one day (her words). When she dropped the ball numerous times in filing the probate in Illinois, we finally hired another lawyer, had the property relisted and it sold WITHOUT going through probate. Jennifer cost us thousands of dollars and I would never recommend her to anyone.

Dwyer and Coogan came recommended to me when I was having issues with my workers comp case. They were extremely helpful in managing my case, which as of recent was settled. Kind, compassionate, and professional.

Met with Curt Edlund and was very happy with candid advice and legal expertise. His counsel helped to guide us through some challenges we were facing and he helped resolve them quickly and efficiently. Very cost effective and I highly recommend the firm.

From day one D&C was always ahead of my expectations. James and Patrick were always answering questions about my case. I totally recommend D&C.

Jim Coogan is a consummate professional and extremely detail oriented. In short order he was able to grasp a thorough understanding of the relevant facts and prepare an extremely well laid out demand letter which is all it took for both parties to reach agreement and avoid court proceedings. I truly believe that Jim’s ability to quickly understand the facts, identify the right strategy, and articulate his clients stance drives results. I was extremely happy and impressed with his work and would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone in need of their services.

Difficult to work with, watch your wallet. I recommend working with ANYBODY else.
