I had a very complicated employment case. They not only settled the case in my favor, they did it quickly. All the staff were great and they kept me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend Atlas when you need help. read more

Nathan Volheim is great to work with, very responsive, gets results. I've been a client for years, had and still have numerous cases and Nate gets a fair settlement every time. Most recently, he even took a case, not one he normally handles; which speaks volumes for him and his firm. read more

They spend who knows how much money in new client acquisition and then have people like Chris take the initial calls which is a recipe for disaster. This guy asks questions that he doesn't understand himself so when you answer the questions, you then have to go back and explain to him what you mean. WHen it became obvious that he was clueless, I asked several times for an actual attorney only to be told there weren't any there. Its a law firm... no attorneys there? Hopefully they record all calls and can go back and learn from their mistakes in putting such a novice in such an important position. read more

Wow! Should have read these reviews before trying to contact them! Their "free consultation" is with the receptionist who knows nothing about law. She then recites your "case" to the attorneys. I was not going to give specific details to someone that does not understand law. Go somewhere else! read more

The receptionist is definitely unprofessional, I tried contacting them regarding a pending case against IDES Administrative Review, this firm has hung up 3x won't put a manager or a lawyer on the phone even though the area of practice the specialize in lines up with the current case, these women were disrespectful by not allowing me to explain to someone that this is what they are advertising online read more

This firm has very knowledgeable attorneys. During live conversation they explain things well. Their staff is always pleasant to deal with. Every single one has great personality, patience and people skills. They deserve a good strong 5 Stars! However, they need a bit of improvement on follow-up and communication within & with their clients. (I would rate 2 stars for communication). I would, however, definitely recommend this law firm. read more

Run from this firm! They have 3 BBB complaints for not paying settlements and a third from me for the following situation. Danielle Chapman, their paralegal and Nathan Volheim an attorney and director at the firm are the most treacherous and unethical people I've ever met. From the beginning their attorneys acted as if they despised speaking to me and didn't care about my case. I spoke to Nathan Thursday, 9/28 at 12:29 pm regarding a conversation I had with Chad their employment lawyer about a demand letter for an employment case they were working on. After speaking with Chad about the settlement number, I had some questions and concerns and decided to speak to Nathan regarding filing under Title 1981. Please keep in mind, the document I submitted with incidents of my employment case to them, specified I'd like to sue under this title since it has no cap. Nathan then explained the reasoning behind the number but shortly after this explanation, I mentioned to him my reasoning for wanting a higher amount. I also mentioned it is important to me for us to be on the same page, since we were working together. Nathan proceeded to take a dark turn in his communication and indicated the following lies and unprofessional statements before deciding to end our client/attorney relationship. - He mentioned Danielle stated to him I looked up the firms BBB complaints. This is true, and mentioned to Nathan I do my due diligence on everyone I work with as not all firms are reputable. The claims made on BBB came up in a Google search for your firm I did not go directly to their website to look for it, it's public information anyone will find when they input your name. - He lied and said "you've looked all of us up!" This is a blatant lie and salacious. To make me out to be a stalker is dangerous language I will be reporting to the bar! No one looked anyone up except on your website which Wanda directed me to before being onboarded. - He mentioned "if you're expecting me to have passion for your case, I won't! I'll fight very hard for your case but I don't have the same feelings ". - He mentioned I was complaining about Chad again. Another lie, I merely relayed our conversation last week and asked him about other options for the settlement amount for my case. I have no issue with Chad at all! Nathan has been rude, arrogant, and disrespectful each time I've spoken to him. This conversation was the final straw. I'm a previous client on the consumer side and never had an issue with their firm until now. I've never had a bad relationship with an attorney, I have a few who have represented me for my business and we are now friends. This is the first incident I've had where an attorney has exaggerated situations and statements, made salacious claims, defamed me, and fired me for asking questions. I suggest you research a firm who won't treat you like a transactional case or do unethical things that can get them sued or disbarred! Oh and they will threaten former clients with lawsuits who leave bad reviews against them. You can check their Google reviews for that. read more

After obtaining their services, they said they would represent me with the National Labor Board but failed to update me or respond until the day before the deadline, and only after I had followed up with them on the employment matter they were supposed to represent me in. Furthermore, apart from causing me stress over this matter, they stated that unless I agreed to receive only $20,000--regardless of a contractual agreement where they would receive only forty percent--they wouldn't represent me anymore. Therefore, due to the stress they caused, the ultimatum given, and their withdrawal from my case, I give them one star. read more

I gave these attorneys referrals back around the 2010 housing crisis and they were very prompt to meet my client's needs. So when I had fraud committed against me by a big corporation that wrecked my credit, I contacted them. Their admin was prompt to send me to a legal retainer and instructions on where to send docs which were signed and sent within 24 hours. But weeks turned into months and then I realized that "my" attorney phone number on the retainer did not work and they were not working out of their office. Over 4 months past before I finally received an email from "my" attorney stating they were disengaging their legal services from me in summary because they were to busy and they didn't have enough help but would recommend another attorney but that recommendation was never given. My suggestion would be to read the retainer well before signing, try the attorneys phone number on the retainer and get something in writing as to how soon they are going to start communicating with you on your case without using Covid for an excuse 4+ months later. read more

Horrible!!!! I called to get advise the girl she kept rushing me off and cutting me off and going off the deep end! I don't no recommend ! I specifically told her she's way off and not understanding my question and she quickly hung up! Unprofessional no advise giving just rubbish conversation. read more

Working with them to get $1000. I had a Collection agency still calling, emailing, and sending mail to my home. They got a settlement and waiting for the outcome. read more

Wanted to write a quick review regarding g the amazing staff at Atlas consumer. Not only did they help me with old bad credit, but the nasty harassment calls have stoped. I had no clue about my rights and how bad credit has a statue of limitations. Thank you so much to everyone who helped me get a little settlement I was so impressed with such an amazing service. I k ow a lot of us suffer from bad old credit , I definitely recommend Atlas Consumer Law read more

I had these rip off artists handle a collection agency issue for me. They never told me they were going to take 85% of settlement. I am 62 years old and never in my life have I heard of this high of price I know why people say Lawyers are professional liars. The case was more then likely handled by interns / para legals and brought to some one to sign off on. In phone call lawyer replied to me asking about options ... there is always options but we could fight for years and only get 250 more for you. When they sent paper work for me to sign I found out the award was for 5,500 and they get / want 85%. DO NOT WORK WITH THESE CROOKS!!! read more

I would like to say what an amazing Law Firm this is. I wish I could give a rate of 20 stars, Christine and Joseph are prime examples on how they conduct buisness as well for being so understanding to the personal needs that I required. I have dealt with many Firms and Offices but this is the place to go through, I highly recommend this Firm and well worth the money for what your individual needs are. I cannot thank you enough Christine and Joseph! God Bless. Nora read more

I can say without a shadow of doubt Sulaiman Law Group was a life saver for both my husband and I. The team of Attorneys are very professional and patient. I went in a ton of questions as most people because I say them advertised on television. Ahmad personally along with Nate and others answered them all via email and phone. We went to court 1 time throughout the entire process. With their advice, we stayed in the home for 2 1/2 years saving money while going through the process. When the process was over we leased for 10 months then purchased another homes. Let me add Suliaman has a Credit program that is outstanding. They helped us win a substantial amount of money from companies for falsely reporting on our credit report. We will always recommend clients to this company. The will fight hard for you. read more

I rate this as high as I do because of my knowledge of one particular attorney who works there. I will not name him here because it is a public space but he does incredible work and is an exquisite person in general. If he is representative of the other staff then this must be one of the premier legal firms in the state and I would trust them with my life! read more

My fiance and I used this law firm to free her from her underwater mortgage and clear our path to get married. They did exactly that. They are great people and an outstanding law firm. Here's our facts: Her condo was underwater by about $75K. The first floor of her building had a condo owner that developed Alzheimer's and with his dementia, he also developed a hoarding habit. He hoards garbage from floor to ceiling. The building developed a pest problem and regardless of how often the condo association contracted an exterminator, the problem would not cease. For months we tried a variety of methods at the city, state, police, and fire department level to evict this owner but it became clear that the process to get him out had no end in sight. My fiance makes good money, she had no debt other than her mortgage, her debt to income ratio was ideal, she had excellent credit, and paid her credit card balance to zero every month. She's hardly the profile of a bankruptcy candidate. Short Sale wasn't an option because the property would appraise much higher than the sale price due to the hoarder (what type of sale price can you expect from a place that has notices of exterminators and roach traps in all of the common areas?). We wouldn't find a renter that would live in those conditions, particularly with a rent fee high enough to cover the mortgage. We needed to get rid of that property. We met with Sulaiman Law who very patiently reviewed each option we had and balanced that with our life goals. They didn't pressure us into anything and we felt like they had our best interest at heart. They designed a method that utilizes Chapter 13 bankruptcy to free you from your mortgage. It is a brilliant concept based on a US Sepreme Court precedent. The decision was a no brainer. Once we got over the taboo of filing bankruptcy, we went through with the Chapter 13. We made that decision because we didn't want to pay every month into an investment that would never pay off and we didn't want to be on the hook for $75K of equity. It was the easiest, the most predictable, and had the best case aftermath of financial future of any of the other options. The process was simple. It involved some paperwork, one visit to court for 40 minutes, and the attorney fee that was made back by not paying the mortgage after we were no longer required to pay. My fiance has received zero collections calls from her lender. Sulaiman Law was 100% correct on everything they said. These guys figured out a way to use the law to help people like us transition their lives. For us that meant buying a house (done) and getting married with a fresh start (January 2014). You can tell that it's very personal for them. I'm truly grateful, and it's why I'm writing this long-winded review. If you are stuck because of an underwater mortgage, they are worth a consultation. BTW, The process went so smoothly, and they so impressed me with their expertise on real estate, that I hired them as my attorney for the sale of my condo and the purchase of our new house. They did a great job for us there as well. read more

My stress level and relief were a thing of the past once I visited Sulaiman Law group, they very extremely courteous and professional, from the receptionist to the lawyer himself. He was helpful and explained the solution to my case in terms that I would understand and not the law verbatim that we often hear from lawyers. I would highly recommend this firm to my friends and family. My court case went fast and easy, not to mention the all sudden stop from harassing creditors. read more

If you are looking for legal representation for financial issues, I highly recommend Atlas Consumer Law. I worked directly with Joseph Davison, and he was very diligent in helping me resolve legal problems related to my business. The office staff was always easy to deal with and was very professional. They also returned calls and responded to emails in a timely matter. My case was a little complicated, but they took it on and handled it like the pros that they are! I also was very stressed out. Joseph had a very calming effect on me and helped me to realize that it was all going to be okay and, in the end, it was. Gratitude to them for the excellent service they provide. I found them on Yelp based on their impressive reviews. read more

I had originally gone to a well known TV lawyer, but was treated horribly. When I found this firm and had a phone consultation, right away I was put at ease and felt extremely comfortable talking to them. Not judged. Even two months after my case was resolved they are still helping me out. I highly recommend them. read more

I currently reside in Arizona, and had a problem with my mortgage company while residing in and after getting rid of my house that was underwater in Chicago. I had called around trying to get assistance but my problem seemed to be out of everyone's league. I found Sulaiman Law Group online and after reading the reviews decided to give them a call, and am so glad that I did. Everyone, kept me abreast of what was going on and the conference calls with Ahmad and team made me feel comfortable knowing that I had help from an experienced team. I am extremely pleased and satisfied with the outcome of my case. I want to Thank Ahmed, Omar, Nasim, Joseph and the rest of the Sulaiman Law Group team for helping me through a very very stressful situation. If you or anyone you know needs assistance, I would recommend the Sulaiman Law Group. read more

I haven't written a review on Yelp in quite a long time. After a recent meeting with Ahmad Sulaiman, I felt compelled to come write one right away. Let me start by saying that no one impresses me. I consider myself an extremely intelligent individual that can do a better job at most things, than the majority of people in their own profession. Ahmad was one of a handful of people, probably the second or third attorney that actually spoke well, was articulate and simply an expert in the field he works in. After a major change in income related to a diagnosis of cancer for my mother, wife being laid off of work, and both her parents and mine having financial troubles, we decided to come in and talk with an attorney about the options. We heard a commercial on AM radio and met with attorneys at Fish Brydges & Associates. Because of timing, they were hired right away and to say the least, they accomplished absolutely nothing, yet took payment for it. In the end, we started looking for another firm. Surely, I'll write up my experiences with Fish Brydges as well, which would get zero stars, if there was such a choice. Anyway, we met with Ahmad and explained the details of our needs, as well as those concerns of each of our parents. Not only did he give us very detailed answers, strategic thoughts and direction but he also suggested that after talking with us, that he recognized that we knew a lot more than most about the related laws that we were discussing with him. He offered to accept a retainer and explained how it would work going forward but that he did not want us to hire him. He said that he wants those who actually need him to hire him, and not those who don't, like us. He was extremely detailed in each and every point, with no need to reference anything but his own head. He talked about various strategies that no other attorney was even familiar with, but I researched what he talked about and sure enough there is supporting information on the web at various legal sites, but not one local supposed 'foreclosure' expert even talked about those options. In the end, our parents will be using Ahmad's services and we have taken his advice on our own needs as well. In addition, the following day, one of his associates called to answer any other questions we may have come up with in the day following our meeting with him. He has also personally been extremely responsive. read more

What a Joke! Do not waste your money with their $150.00 consult fee, learn from my mistake. First off...this one's for you Ahmad :-) During our consult, he looks at me and asks, "did you see our yelp reviews"? I said, "well I tried but couldn't find any" at the time I met with him these reviews were hidden, I wonder why ;-) He then goes on to ask that I promise to review him on yelp, what a narcissistic personality. I went it seeking foreclosure defense and he bypassed my foreclosure and tried to talk me into bankruptcy., which by the way I don't presently qualify for. He wasn't interested in fighting my foreclosure which could have led to to a consent foreclosure or deed in lieu. He spent No time discussing options and The entire time trying to sell me on a bankruptcy. At one point, he acted like he had the greatest option/idea for me qualifying for a bankruptcy. He told me that because my foreclosed property had turned into a rental (it was residential at time of purchase) it would be wiped out in bankruptcy because it would be treated as as a business. Meaning...I would not be sued for 100k. I asked him how this could be, I specifically said, " wouldn't it have had to be a rental from time of purchase?" He replied, "no, we'll just tell the judge your situation changed." Well, I left feeling like maybe I had some light at the end of my dark underwater tunnel, until....a quick search online revealed he was....WRONG. And, my suspicion was accurate, the law clearly states for a property to be considered business it must have been purchased as a rental property and never used as a primary residence. For someone who was pushing bankruptcy so hard he didn't even know the law that seemed pretty simple and obvious to a laymen like myself. The entire process felt like buying a car, he was really trying to sell himself to me. Take your business elsewhere. read more

I had a case in June 2012 for a ch. 7 and was referred to Sulaiman Law Group through a friend. I could not have asked for a better legal team. I mainly dealt with Nathan Volheim which was my main attorney although many of the other staff contributed and were extremely helpful at such a depressing time. The office staff and also some other attorneys not even on my case offered reassurance and guidance. I would highly recommend you meet with Sulaiman law group to see how professional and masterful they truly are! Thanks Nate and the staff for eveything! read more

Sulaiman Law has knowledgeable like no other. If you need help with collection bullies, please call the Sulaiman Law Firm first. They are the real deal! I did an internet search on consumer lawyers and came across Sulaiman Law Group and a few others. I called those others first and they did not help me at all. Those firms were cold, rude, unfriendly, and not very knowledgeable. I then called the Sulaiman Law firm and I could not believe my ears. They were nothing like the others. They are very customer oriented and extremely helpful. I went in to see them and our meeting was wonderful. Since bankruptcy is NOT an option for me, they empowered me to deal with my situation successfully. We had a case dismissed, something I never thought could happen. Don't hesitate, please call them if you need help. read more

People who need help with money troubles are often taken advantage of in many ways. I had the good fortune to meet / work with Mr. Sulaiman yesterday on a project and I was first impressed at his professionalism and courteous manner of speaking to all types of people, then I was even more impressed with his passion. This is the head of a very successful firm yet I noticed how he treated his employees, customers, even his family and as a photographer I have literally worked with thousands of legal professionals in front of my lens, but Mr. Sulaiman is as caring as he is honest as he is helpful to his clients. I hope you are never in need of the services he provides, but if you are, be sure to "interview" a few lawyers and see if you are as impressed with Mr. Sulaiman as I was? read more

Extremely courteous and helpful. I was being harassed by a major phone company . . . a really big one . . . you know who I mean . . . for incorrect charges. Atlas told me exactly what to do. read more

Good at calling you back when the problem has gone away.Terrible. Never got back in time to help me with my problem. So I got sued and had to pay $2000. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

What a nightmare. They kept giving me different attorneys, all of whom might know law but absolutely suck at customer service and communication. I'm so happy to be done with them. They screwed up my case repeatedly and I have documentation that they lie. Here's a tip: when you have a lawyer contact someone to change their meeting, make sure the secretary doesn't call the next day to say "something came up last minute." They actually did that to me. I write this as I wait for a return call -- from two weeks ago. That's standard. They'll get back to you, after you send numerous emails and call several times. Just go elsewhere. read more

Ahmad Sulaiman, Mohammed Badwan and their staff did an exceptional job and handled our case like true professionals. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and were made available at any point should we have any question about our case. The most rewarding part was the service we received after our case was done. They continued to answer questions and help us with any thing we needed and didn't ask for a dime. This group won't do you wrong. Sulaiman Law Group is the only Law group that we recommend to our family and friends going through similar situations. Just a wonderful job every which way. read more

Very professional and take time to understand your situation. Ahmed is great and really knows his stuff. Paul Bach is our lawyer there and he is always pleasant and nice to work with. They will set your mind at ease. To me they seem to be a very aggressive lawfirm and will really work hard on your case. My only real complaint is that they are on the more expensive side. However, with that said, we used a "budget lawyer" previously who really botched our case, so I guess you get what you pay for, even in law. I have only good things to say about Sulaiman Law Group. One last thing, Sulaiman Law also has a book called "Consumer Defense: A Tactical Guide To Foreclosure, Bankruptcy, and Creditor Harassment". When we first met with Ahmed he gave us a copy of it. It is very informative and can help you decide what actions to take. The book is available at their office. The book is also available on Amazon. read more

I am grateful to my Higher Power that in the midst of facing foreclosure my husband found great reviews online on the Sulaiman Law Group. We took action and made an appointment with attorney Sulaiman. I literally walked out from our first appointment feeling as if a huge cloud had been taken away. Mr. Sulaimain is knowledgeable, personable, and genuine. My husband said "this hour has been the best investment we've made in a long time." Ahmad was on-point with the legal advice he gave us. Before meeting Mr. Sulaiman I felt paralyzed with my situation. I felt as if there was no way out. We were dealing with foreclosure, credit card debt, and a lot of stress. I am now taking the appropriate steps and doing the next right thing with the help of the Sulaiman Law Group. We don't feel alone and we have the tools to move forward thanks to Ahmad. It is with gratitude that we'd like to thank you Ahmad. You've helped us tremendously and my 7-year-old twins reap the benefits of this blessing. We highly recommend the Sulaiman Law Group! Sincerely, Martha, Jaime, & twins read more

Highly Recommend! Ahmad and the attorneys at Sulaiman Law helped me get my life back! I hope my story will help you if you are facing foreclosure or stuck in a high interest or underwater mortgage. I purchased my condo in 2005 at the peak of the market in Chicago. I was paying a high interest rate due to some credit issues that I had years prior. I was assured by my mortgage banker that if I could raise my credit score, I could refinance into a lower interest loan. I lived in the condo for 5 years and despite repeated attempts at refinancing, I was always declined due to not enough equity, or the best was when I was told I "could afford the high interest rate because I was making over $100,000 a year." I continued to pay faithfully, hoping something would change in the future. In the meantime, the market tanked, more than half of the units in my building went into foreclosure, and I found myself more than $150,000 underwater on a $255,000 loan. I had since married and was living with my husband, and my unit was a rental. The rent I was paying was only covering less than half of my monthly expenses. After discussing with my husband, we made the decision to stop paying the mortgage and let the property go into foreclosure. I felt embarrassed and like a loser, but it was time to stop throwing good money at a bad situation. When I finally received the official notice of foreclosure/sheriff's sale, I also received a letter stating that my lender would pursue a deficiency judgement against me for the difference between the loan amount and the sale price. So after 9 years of paying a mortgage, I would be left without a property and a $150,000 lawsuit? I decided I needed help fast. Through a Google search, I found Sulaiman Law Group. The reviews were outstanding, and I decided to set up a consultation. From my first phone call to every conversation after, the employees and attorneys were nothing but exceptionally kind and professional. My consultation was with Ahmad Sulaiman. He very patiently laid out all of my options and explained everything in detail, until he had answered all of my questions and I felt comfortable that my situation was not as hopeless as I had once thought. I hired Sulaiman and they immediately began working on my case. I was assigned to work with attorney Nathan Volheim, also extremely patient, kind and professional throughout the process. I had to wait several months to see if the lender accepted our proposed plan, and I was so excited to get the phone call from Nathan... it worked! I was going to be free of this overwhelming burden once and for all. After my case was finalized, I was invited to meet with Nasim Ghebari about the process of rebuilding my credit. Sulaiman offers a service that can help with writing the letters, send in credit disputes and following up on the process. I gladly signed up for the service and less than 4 months later, my credit score has improved and I have actually MADE money in the process. Please take the time to meet with Suilaman Law Group. You don't have to feel helpless, and they will show you how it feels to be the one in control of your financial future! read more

Everyone I worked with was professional and answered all my questions. They returned all calls in a timely manner. They explained to me the process and worked with me during a very painful surgery. I highly recommend Sulaiman Law Offices for all of your legal needs. read more

The most insightful and educational hour of I have spent. I sought legal advice from Mr. Sulaiman on several issues, fearing a BK would be the final result. Instead he offered me alternatives and armed me with the information needed. This man is passionate about the law, his practice and truly helping those in need. I would very much recommend contacting this firm should the need arise. read more

My husband and I went to Ahmad Sulaiman on the referral of a family member. We were in a financial bind for several years due to the economy and my husband's place of employment's sluggish business. I can't say enough good things about Ahmad and everyone working in his office! On the first meeting we were instantly impressed with the man's knowledge of bankruptcy and foreclosure! He gave us a feeling of confidence and erased our fears. We were walked through the bankruptcy process as smooth as glass! I highly recommend this attorney. He really knows his area of expertise! Everyone in this office is courteous and pleasant to deal with! read more

Made my wife and I feel very comfortable. We first went to another firm that we all know from TV...The price was the same but the service from these guys were beyond compare read more

During my 25 year career in the financial industry, I personally had dealings with dozens of attorneys. Many were fine individuals and quite knowledgeable: many were not. Recently, I had need to consult with a foreclosure/bankruptcy attorney on a personal matter. A friend recommended the Sulaiman Law Group. From my first contact (Jessica) to my consultation with Ahmad Sulaiman, I was treated with respect, compassion, sincerity and a knowledge of the subject matter that was beyond compare. Mr. Sulaiman not only has a total comprehension of his field (bordering on genius) but he also possesses the ability to answer your questions in an easy to understand manner, while conveying his caring and empathy. I highly recommend this firm. Furthermore, should I ever require the services of an attorney practicing in an area of law that was not in the Sulaiman Law Group's purview, I would seek their suggestion as to who to use because I trust their judgment 100%. Please look no further than the Sulaiman Law Group in Oak Brook and Schaumberg. You will not be disappointed. read more

I met with Ahmad Sulaiman last night for a consultation regarding strategic foreclosure. I went in to the meeting feeling defeated, and left feeling the complete opposite. Mr. Sulaiman had my solution to the problems I was facing in the first 5 minutes of sitting down with him, but sat and spoke with me for over an hour to make sure that I understood why, what, when, and how it was all going to work. This was all AFTER he told me that I would not be needing his services!!! He also told me he would be happy to answer any questions that I or my husband might have in the future, and he wouldn't charge us. I went to Mr. Sulaiman because of all of the reviews that I had read about his law group. I am so happy that I did! All of the positive things that you read are true. Make an appointment. You will not be disappointed! read more

Thank you to the entire Sulaiman Law Group team for helping us through a very difficult situation. Your knowledge, guidance and professionalism are outstanding. Because of the team at Sulaiman our outcome was better that we could have ever hoped. I encourage you to give them a call and schedule a meeting. They will listen and provide knowledgeable counsel specific to your situation. They are amazing! read more
