Lisa Knauf handled my mother's estate after her passing, which included the family business. The…read morecompany shares were divided equally between my sister and me. My sister believed she should transfer her shares to me because she had invested far less time and effort in the business than I had. However, without understanding the history of the family business or consulting me, Lisa Knauf persuaded my sister to retain her shares. In my view, this was highly unprofessional by Knauf Law, as it favored my sister over the interests of our 79-year-old family business and led to an ongoing 50/50 deadlock. I recommend avoiding Knauf Law if you do not want decisions made behind your back by someone who assumes they know better than the people directly involved.

Abandoned in Open Court - Beware of Brad Erdman…read more Review: If you are looking for an attorney to protect your family and your assets, look elsewhere. I retained Bradley Erdman at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC (MKFM Law) for a child custody and financial enforcement case. On March 4, 2026, during an active custody status hearing, I asked him a few standard, clarifying questions about the court process and our strategy for enforcing a major financial judgment. Instead of answering me, Brad became completely dismissive and abruptly withdrew as my attorney right there in open court. He left me completely unrepresented in front of the judge during a critical moment in my custody case. A family law attorney is supposed to be your advocate during highly stressful times. Brad Erdman proved that if you ask questions or expect clear communication, he will cut and run, leaving you entirely exposed. I am now filing a formal grievance with the state disciplinary commission. Protect yourself and find counsel who actually honors their ethical obligations to their clients. #MKFMLaw #DuPageCounty #WheatonIL #FamilyLaw #DivorceAttorney #ChildCustody

I was representing my condo's HOA and just needed a lawyer to look at the condo by-laws to see if everything looked good for another owner who wanted to buy part of the basement to build a duplex down. - I paid $1000 on April 19, sent the by-laws - I reached out on May 4th because I hadn't heard back. - May 6th I got a reply asking if I had sent the by-laws then got a reply that they had seen it [assuming this is when they started to do the work] - I reached out on June 5th because I hadn't heard back. - June 5th I got a reply that I'd hear back at the end of the week at the latest - I reached out on June 18th because I hadn't heard back - June 18th got an email reply back of 4 bullet points... [ really is this what I paid for???] -- this wasn't even sent as a doc just an email. I don't hear from them June 18th and then I get an email Nov 5th that I have a late bill -- so someone forgot to email me I had a bill and I have a late charge? No itemized receipt either? What am I being charged for??? The work was fine, it was a very straight forward ask. Customer service was not great. Would not recommend if it was something important.

In my opinion... DO NOT USE THIS FIRM! I think they have zero concern for anything except cashing…read moreyour check! I would find anyone else!!! I feel they are possibly the worst firm I have ever dealt with. All of the members I dealt with seemed overwhelmed with possibly taking on too many clients... which made them (in my opinion) simply fall into a reactive state and not proactively attempt to help my case! It felt like they didn't want to create a strategy, had no concern, no movement forward... NOTHING! My primary lawyer actually called my (twice) on the morning of emergency hearings to strategize the hearing. Literally minutes before entering the court... they felt that was the best time to rush you through trying to have a solid understanding of your position. I FELT THEY NEVER PREPARED FOR ONE HEARING!!!! I paid them $40,000 dollars to settle only one aspect of a divorce. They spent a year depleting the retainer... simply reacting to the other lawyer's action. Not once did they set up a meeting to discuss the potential offer or what my goals were. They rarely responded to or addressed my emails or return my calls. Pathetic. They seem to be way more concerned with accumulating hours... possibly in an attempt to make partner? The hours they accumulated didn't seem to help move my case closer to settlement. I feel they are not a divorce firm to use... and I'm sure you could throw a rock into a bunch of lawyers and find someone more concerned and able to help your case. $40,000 later... they dropped me because I was 4 days late on paying a $2,000 invoice. That's right... 4 days! Keep in mind that visitation was already resolved before approaching this firm. They only needed to provide my soon to be Ex with an offer for alimony and child support. After a year of depleting the retainer... they never once put together even one offer to my Ex. Not one! Less than one year of them doing NOTHING and incurring $40,000... for just my side of this divorce. I feel they have ZERO compassion for their clients and have no sympathy for what married couples are going through in the difficult process of Divorce. Not sure why... but, it felt like THEY WOULDN'T RESPOND TO EMAILS OR CALL ME BACK... EVER I'd say to Skip this firm... at all costs! I feel they are simply one of the worst on the planet... Find anyone else! I believe you could represent yourself and get further along then simply giving them hours as they all work towards partnership. I think they are a pathetic bunch of losers... and they do not deserve to represent anyone! Too bad the court system couldn't find a way to weed out the pathetic lawyers (and firms) and put them out of business. I feel these guys give the 1% of good lawyers a bad name... PS - I'm assuming that any of the positive reviews for this firm are made up or provided by a family member of the firm's employees. PPS - Today I appeared in court to hear their motion to be removed from the case... and my lawyer actually pulled me into the hallway, referenced this review, and threatened to take me to court for defamation of character if I didn't remove. LOL! Your bullying tactics won't work on me!

I sincerely hope, even though it's highly unlikely, that change happens for any new client looking to enter in an engagement. For months, the highly incompetent attorney provided me with borderline ethically unsound advice. Luckily a mediator (god bless his/her soul) provided me a nudge and had me push back at unsound counsel provided by this attorney. After finally seeing the light, I engaged a partner and it was then I realized that the incompetence permeated outside of this attorney to his/her managers. Please don't fall prey to the active social media and seemingly client centric introductory meeting. Run! Stay far away from this firm!
