I spoke with Chris briefly a few hours ago and, after explaining several times that I was calling…read moreon behalf of a friend who was in a similar circumstance as I am with an elderly relative who intends to leave their property in their respective wills, he implied I was a scam artist. Several times he bemusedly said, "something's not adding up," and the like when I said the above. My sister Cathy recommended him but I guess I didn't give Chris the impression I was well-heeled enough to trust to work with. It's honestly a typical response from uppety first and second generation Greeks who have an education, at least that's been my experience going through Greek school. He justified this by saying he gets a lot of messages from scammers who try take advantage of old, dying relatives (which is an unfortunate but probably accurate characterization of many people), but I'm not quite sure he had enough reason to arrive at this conclusion before he even spoke to me to get into details. I'm sure he's a good attorney, just not a great judge of character.

This review is long overdue! Unfortunately, he was our attorney for our wrongful death case…read more Charles Candiano represented both children (us) and the our father's wife, which presented a conflict of interest. He brokered a deal between the wife and us, his two children, and then attempted to change it later to our detriment and in favor of the wife. He failed to communicate and apprise us of developments in the case. He failed to report expenses and fees despite our repeated request to do so. It became clear there was malpractice occurring and we needed to protect our rights. We were left no option but to hire our own counsel. This led us to incur unnecessary legal fees in excess of $70,000 to force him to honor the original deal he brokered. After years of stalling and lies from him and his counterpart, Jordan Margolis, justice prevailed and the court ordered him to honor the original deal he brokered and finally pay us what we were owed. In 2012 we hired a malpractice attorney and sued Candiano and the principal of the firm, Jordan Margolis. The case is still on going. We are currently suing for negligence and breech of fiduciary duties along with other things. You can verify this on Cook County's website under the law division docket (Candiano vs. Marchant). Someone else around the same time, which you can see as well, also sued them both in the civil court. Shortly after we hired our malpractice attorney we found out that the wife was never paid her portion of the settlement. Yes, Charles Candiano and Jordan Margolis stole her money and many others in excess of $1,000,000.00. Do some research on Charles Candiano and Jordan Margolis and you will find out Jordan Margolis has since been disbarred for the reason stated above. Candiano should lose his license too but the only reason Candiano has not been prosecuted is because he has hidden under the safety net of the indemnification agreement he had when Jordan Margolis hired him. He has tried to cry broke in our malpractice case over the years and claim he is on the verge of bankruptcy, being evicted, etc, which is just another reason to run from this lawyer. No proof.....just more lies to avoid paying for his mistakes. He again is trying to hide under the indemnification agreement and trying to force a disbarred attorney, Jordan Margolis, to pay for yet another one of his mistakes. In reality they are both to blame. Please don't be another one of this lawyer's victim!!! Don't go through what we have been through and are still going through with him for the past 6 plus years later. Find ANY other attorney!

But when I looked him up I saw Yelp had a really bad reviews for him, Which I found confusing because I ended up getting a settlement that was 3 times what I had hoped for. Then, I saw that you show 5 reviews that are not published that are all terrific. So how does Yelp decide what they publish and what they don't. It seems to me that when you show somebody in the mid threes and you hold back 5 reviews that paint quite a different picture you are not exactly unbiased. I really hope that you guys are honest and publish this one. He was terrific. His staff was great. And he really went the extra mile because even after they offered a settlement I would have accepted he asked me if I wanted to go back one more time. So I did and they went up a whole 3rd more.
