Ted McGinn, Heather McCollum, and everyone else at Lavelle are the upmost professionals and would definitely recommend them to anybody looking into their services. You won't be sorry!

Attorney J. Upchurch did a tremendous service for me. He was very patient and informative thru the entire process.

We used Lavelle Law for estate planning and a real estate closing. The experience was very positive and I would recommend LL. Heather Walser, Kelly Anderson, and Tori Paton were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful during both engagements. And, when our closing had some last second snafus related to the title company that threatened to delay things, Tori was very patient and helped get us through it.

Highly recommend

Kelly was exceptional. She responded quickly and accurately to all my questions. She was a valuable advisor during our home buying and selling experience.

Best lawyers in Chicagoland!

I know two of the principles and can attest to their integrity and character. Their ability and that of their individual attorneys have always been able to effectively handle my Companies legal requirements. Overall I would highly recommend Lavelle Law and I'm sure you will find they are an excellent value.

On the recommendation of Victoria Paton, I utilized Heather McCollum and Heather Walser to begin the estate planning process and established a trust, power of attorney, etc. The Heathers were wonderful and their team’s communication was clear and concise. They guided me through the process and made sure I understood the legal impact of my decisions. I was thrilled at how easy and organized they made the estate planning process.

Honestly, the main reason I reached out to them went smoothly. Unfortunately that lawyer left the firm, and we never received the paperwork I was supposed too. I have reached out to them requesting to speak with one of the managing attorneys, but no one has called me back. All I'm requesting is MY paperwork but they continue to just give me the run around. Pretty sad for a "reputable firm" Update: A managing partner finally calls me back after I requested 3 time for a call all week. States that we wouldn't get official document, but the email from their lawyer states they would receive it. Furthermore, he wants to defend their communication, and put the blame on the attorney even though it's the firm that I hired. I shared my perspective on how communication could be better, but (Ted) didn't seem to care and actually defended their communication skills, and argued "would you want us to stop working on another client to call you back". It's been three days and you have a huge firm but you cant call an old client back. Once you already pay them, they don't care.

I am very grateful for the countless hours and all the hard work that each of Lavelle's team professionals involved put in,in order to resolve positively our home sale procedure. Thanks to all of you, we get to move on and put all of this behind us. What an amazing team! Thank you Kelly Anderson! Thank you, Lavelle Law!

They're very slick, they will represent you and destroy you at the same time. They were unethical in handling of my simple divorce with no kids, no alimony and Illinois law of 50/50 split. Should have done it online. After firing the attorney that I started with, they overcharged me for a substitute and extended the case for 3 years. They took advantage of me during the worst time of my life. All they care about is your money and they want all of it. My wife wrote a simple divorce agreement with no alimony. I went to them for advice and they told me not to accept it and they would represent me. After discovery and they found out how much money I had, they delayed and extended the case until they got all of it, including my retirement accounts.
