Zisl assisted me with my elderly mother's estate as well as medical help and ultimate home placement for my disabled brother. I relied heavily on her extensive knowledge in areas of estate law and programs for the disabled. She was always available, even on a weekend, to answer questions. Her kindness toward my family will forever be appreciated. I would highly recommend Zisl for any of your estate planning needs.

Never returns any calls and does not care about customers. I have been calling and leaving messages since the last 15 says on a daily basis. My case has been delayed and all the fees I paid have gone to waste. Never hire Marshall Hong

I highly recommend Mike Fradin. He handled my case with care and worked hard to get me the best results available. He followed through on everything he said and communicated with me every step of the way. I always knew what was happening and he made sure I was happy. He is very personable and listened to all my concerns.

Mike Fradin succeeded heroically with a case involving my elderly but very healthy mother being injured by an employee of a corporation, in this case, working for a vast grocery store chain in Florida, with stores throughout the south and southern mid-Atlantic. Although Mr. Fradin lives and works in the Illinois area, he was able to analyze the situation with a fine legal eye and activate an approach that put the corporation on the defensive. Mr. Fradin's defense of my mother, who was permanently injured by the grocery store's negligence, which occurred when an employee dropped a case of food on her while she was shopping, was vigilant. He also found a top Florida attorney who knew the laws of that state. Partnering with him, Mr. Fradin developed a personal injury case that challenged the corporation's usual assumption that they could just roll over people. After multiple attempts by the corporation to delay the case, Mr. Fradin was able to force them into a mediation process. Representing my mother, I was at the table face to face with the attorneys representing the corporation who could not shrink from the human damage they had caused. More importantly, Mr. Fradin, with the assistance of the Florida attorney's inside knowledge of Florida law, was relentless in negotiations to ensure the corporation did not shrink from its obligations to my mother, who had suffered through multiple surgeries and doses of anesthesia, which is extremely damaging to elderly people. After a rather tough and often rude mediation experience, thanks to the recalcitrant corporation, Mr. Fradin was able to secure an agreement that covered all my mother's medical expenses. This was not easy and took will and unyielding negotiations. It was also a well-deserved acknowledgement to my mother, whose wounds never really healed, but who was always grateful to Mr. Fradin.

Zisl worked on a couple of legal documents for my mom. The feedback from my mom was that Zisl was very caring, made sure my mom understood everything, paid careful attention to my mom's needs and provided very personalized care. My mom described the overall experience of working with Zisl as excellent. She came away extremely, extremely pleased.

I worked with Zisl Edelson to formulate a new and updated will. She was sensitive, compassionate and wonderful to work with-as well as intelligent and educational. She gently made suggestions for wording any bequests to my children in kinder ways to avoid any implied favoritism. I really appreciated her input which we implemented in the document. The end result was professional and easy to understand. The pain of losing a mother is difficult enough without a child feeling any guilt regarding anything remaining from her lifetime. I appreciate the time and effort she gave me to gather information and would highly recommend her to anyone. Carol Bailenson
