The best bilingual lawyer in Lake County. Highly recommend. Bar none. 👌

Thank goodness I finally found an attorney that represented me with integrity and helped me through this long nightmare of a divorce. Robert was very responsive from the beginning, answered every communication, kept my case on track, and gave me counsel that finally gave me some relief. Robert came in late in the case to wrap up the final stages, and he got more accomplished in one action than was done in 2 years of constant attacks. I wish I had started my divorce process with him.

Robert was excellent during the entire process of my case which lasted about 6-7 months. He kept me up to date with everything that was going on and when he received new information about the case he would email me right away. I felt like Robert made great decisions that was in the best interest for me and my daughter. Very calm, unexpensive, and will work with you if you do not have all the money up front. Definitely recommend Robert if you are going through a custody case for your child.

Robert Stavins is very competent and effective attorney in family law. I must admit to be a lawyer-phobic so when my exwife filed a law suit to get me pay half of my sons University of Michigan tuition when he could have studied Loyola University Chicago or Marquette University for free thanks to my employee benefits, I first attempted to represent myself. When a judge strongly suggested I needed a lawyer, and some awful forms were due in Waukegan court soon, I quickly choose Robert based on two facts: first, he worked pro bono from time to time (not that I would need that but it shows his kind heart so I felt he would understand that I cannot afford excessive fees), and, second, he did not remind me during our first meeting a vulture (unlike most other attorneys I observed working in the courtroom). I was so lucky with my selection! The complicated case morphed into child support case for another child and took a year and many petitions and counter-petitions to complete. Robert was always there - calm, knowledgeable, explaining my options clearly. We did not win it all but my new family and I would be probably financially ruined without his assistance.

Knowledgeable.

I strongly suggest you do not hire Mr. Stone! He is going to overcharge you, and not provide any services! He claims to be an ethical lawyer, he is exactly the opposite! His lack of preparation, and missed deadlines to file paperwork negatively affect the outcome of my cases! He also disclosed privileged information in court, which violated my attorney client privilege. Mr. Stone is very well spoken, don’t mistake this for good representation. Get use to these terms if you hire Mr. Stone “ineffective assistant of counsel “.

So far we have hired Mr Stavins a couple times and each and every time we got the results we were looking for. He puts forth 110% and he is the most honest lawyer I’ve met. He will tell you flat out yes I can help no I can’t help. He will also tell you the best and worst case scenario of the out come and so far from our experience he has gotten us the best result. I super highly recommend Mr Stavins to anyone needing his services. Thank you Mr Stavins for all your hard work.

Great lawyer and office staff!

Mr.Stavins represented me with my disability case was very straight forward with me on the difficulty with my case do to my age, but took my case and fought for me. In the end we won and can't thank him enough for looking past my age and saw my disabilities. I would recommend him to any one for any case.
