I used Kelly Jenkins as my attorney for my divorce. She was very professional, supportive, and understanding. She kept me up to date on what was going on throughout the whole process and answered questions with honest answers and information. She was knowledbeable about the case and laws pertaining to what was going on with my specific case. I would recommend her and use her again if I should ever need an attorney.

Kelly handled my divorce and settlement in a professional manner and performed well above her counterpart. She provided the level of legal advice I requested and guided me through the cumbersome process of the legal system. Kelly was up front in all matters of the needed proceedings and was completely honest in expectations. I do recommend Kelly for others as she does also have the backing of an experienced firm which she doesn't hesitate to lean on for assistance and guidance.

Be careful! Make sure you have an extensive list of questions concerning your case. Most importantly, a ballpark figure of the cost. The initial consultation is free but if you decide to move forward with Kelly as your representation, she will charge you for EVERYTHING after that consultation. Even for hiring her. I wished to modify my visitation to a 50/50 split. It was an additional 4 days per month and an overnight stay on Sundays. I was told specifically " I can't imagine it costing more than $5000.00, as long as it doesn't go to trial." My grand total for this case is $8740.62, $3200 of which I'm still making payments on. There hasn't even been a pre-trial conference, let alone a trial, and Kelly Jenkins simply withdrew as my attorney, didn't even speak to me about it. I had to call her. She subpoenaed multiple documents and I was charged for every single one, running up an excessive bill. I'm in worse shape now than when I started this whole process. I've since sought out other legal council. Kelly Jenkins' employer, Stange Law Firm, utilizes a documenting system which houses all of the legal documents and invoices online, which clients can access at any time. While this is a great concept, in my opinion, Ms. Jenkins, and the staff in her office rely too heavily on this as a means for communication. The office in St Charles itself has a feeling of being unorganized. I gave my credit card information to pay on my invoice and had to call three times to check if the funds were going to be withdrawn. Each time I was assured it would happen. It never did and I had to physically walk in and pay with cash. No progress has been made on my case. I'm left with a stack of subpoenaed docs that do not help my case, as well as a very sizable bill. Seek other representation!

I was referred to Stange Law Firm for a Parenting Plan Modification. If anyone has ever done one before, they know how stressful and draining they can be. I have been burnt from another law firm when I had filled my original Parenting Plan. So going into this I had thought that all law firms were the same, more worried about the check than the client. However, it was very clear that this wasn't how this firm ran their business. It was made very clear that this firm is there for you. Yes, you still have to give them checks, but it was well worth it. My fiance and I walked in to the Arnold location to do an assessment for our case with Dzenana Delic, and walked out feeling very confident in not only the case, but the firm as well. We discussed our concerns, and what we would like to see happen, and unlike the other firm I originally had, Dzenana set out to either make it happen or get it to what we wanted as close as possible. We were not disappointed. Dzenana was AWESOME! She was very professional, easy to talk to and never left me in the dark about what was going on with my case. To have an attorney make you feel like they're on your side and that you are more to then than just a check, is a peace of mind everyone should have when going through this as we did with her. We would highly recommend Dzenana and the Stange Law Firm, and will continue to keep using this firm in future cases.

There are not enough words to describe how happy i am with the services that are being provided by Jonathan Glassman he is an amazing lawyer and has been there for me every step of the way. He is prompt on returning all of my phone calls and emails even on holidays and late nights . He is incredibly thorough. I have been dealing with a rough case and he makes sure that i feel more like a priority than a burden. He keeps me very level headed and optimistic for a good turn out. I can tell he is very passionate about what he does. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a leg up in a legal situation. Jonathan THANK YOU !

My attorney, Russell Baker, was able to help me and my son remove ourselves from a very intense situation. His professional knowledge, calm and supportive demeanor and prompt attention to our needs helped us relocate to a safer area. He quickly responded to calls and emails and has continued to follow up with me to make sure that we are doing well. If you have need of a family law attorney, I highly recommend that you consult with Russell. He is wonderful and he will work hard to help you. He has given me and my son a new life. Thank you Russell!!

My lawyer, Robert Samuelson, was terrific. He was always very professional and approachable. I felt that he always had my best interest at heart. I was able to trust his judgment and his advice was always invaluable. He was also patient in answering my questions and very responsive to my needs and concerns. He also made me feel at ease and less anxious and worried. He was extremely accessible and very quick with returning emails and phone calls. He was also very caring, understanding, and competent. I am very grateful for his help. I highly recommend him as a family legal attorney. Kelly

My experience with the Stange Law Firm, and especially Russel Baker, was a very satisfying one. I could not be more pleased with the way my divorce was handled. Russell was professional yet personable and I was happy with the swiftness in which it was handled. I will highly recommend this law firm to anyone who would need them.

I have found Jonathan Glassman to be the most accessible, responsive and professional of the three lawyers I have been with to date. The insights he provided me have been invaluable and his success at persuading opposing counsel to accept our point of view was truly remarkable. In addition, he knew when to gently push back on me when he believed I was moving in a direction that was not in my best legal interests. I would not hesitate to use Jonathan again and highly recommend him for anyone in need of family legal counsel.

Sara Marler was my attorney for a child support case that tried to turn into a child custody case do to my x husband. I have been fighting my x for about 8 years for child support. My x husband owed me 85,000 and four attorneys before her could not do what Sara was able to do to get my child support from my x. If you need a "bull dog", as they call her, she is the attorney that will get it done. I'm finally getting my support and able to raise my daughter with a little less stress thanks to Sara. If you need a good GAL, ask for Jennifer Graves Borcherding. Sara and Jennifer are a great team together. They were able to stop my x husband from changing the custody arrangements as well. Thank you!

My lawyer Sarah Brown was awsome. Sarah was always very professional and to the point and that is what I needed. Sarah always responded to all my phone calls and emails in a timely fashion. I was always updated on any changes to my case. I really felt like she had my best intrest at heart. I believe that my money was well spent. I am very happy that Sarah Brown is my lawyer.

When my son needed help getting custody of his children, I researched several law firms. I felt Stange Law Firm was the one to help my son. Patrick Pedano was great and really on top of the situation. His experience really proved to be a great asset. Mid case, my son's attorney was no longer with the firm and Maren Mellen took over. She went above and beyond the role of attorney. I cannot say enough good things about her.
