    I had Steven whitmore as my attorney back in 2017 for child custody. I have had free consultations…read morewith other lawyers in the area and also consultations I paid for. I have been to pretty much every lawyer in town and in the surrounding area. I have never met in my entire life and honest, hard-working, devoted, prompt and man of faith attorney in my entire life! I was at Ray law office once in the man flipped his pockets inside out because that's what all these lawyers care about is money, money, money!! Unfortunately I heard Steven doesn't do family law any longer because I would definitely use him again over anyone else. He worked with me on the retainer fee and I didn't have to pay him my $1,500 until I received my taxes. Until then I only paid him $200 a month. He always returned my calls and emails and text messages and was always on time to court. A different lawyer I had named Dave castañero never showed up and never gave me any invoices I never had a free consultation he was always late and he made me uncomfortable by yelling and court and getting all hot and sweaty and dramatic with the judge. Steven is the opposite. Steven is a perfect example of how an attorney should be. Someone who cares about a family he is a family man not just someone that wants your money. I don't know what happened with his license in the past but you can't please everyone. I should have done this review a long time ago and I think I've done one in the past. But what goes around comes around and people that are dishonest such as lawyers or whoever or people that are trying to get innocent people in trouble you know it is all in God's hands. I wanted to thank Steven and Melanie and Sandra slaga who retired but she was an awesome guardian ad litem for our son. I was going to get full custody but then I decided to reconcile with my ex-husband. We are still together right now. Thank you Steven and your team! May God bless you and everyone you encounter in your life and your beautiful family. I hope someone sees this especially Steven and anyone who may have doubted him he is the best attorney I have ever met and will ever know. Michelle Anast

    Great attorney! He took the time to answer all of my questions and get to know my situation. Gave…read morehelpful advice and explanations of the law. Made me feel at ease during a difficult time. Also is willing to start work on a case with a moderate down payment and month payments. I would certainly recommend!

    The best lawyer to get if you ever catch a drug case,he got me off the biggest drug bust in…read moreRockford history! He got me the best deal I could ever imagine something Ryan swiff and David vella could not do! I really do recommend him 100%.i swear the whole town was talking about me saying that I was cooperating with the law cause of the sweet deal he got me! But truth be told I did not cooperate it was all the negotiating that Glenn did with the prosecutor that got me the time I got,if you don't believe me just ask glenn! The best in town! Folks please keep in mind every case is not the same don't expect the same outcome! But he definitely does his thing, I seen him beat 2 murder cases within 2-3 months. Beast!!!!

    So I had him years ago and was just thinking about how I never left a review. So where do I…read morestart... had a beatable gun charge because the gun wasn't mine promised to get it off my record that never happened . He took it personal that I wanted to get my time over with and instead of getting me my minimum sentance tacked on another year because he was mad I was taking my time. At this point I had been dealing with the injustice system for years in and out . My fault yes but I was on drugs and on a horrible path. I just wanted to take my time and guess what I haven't stepped foot back in a jail since then . Best decision I made . But he was horrible I got two years for a petty retail theft charge !!! I should have gotten one year. Not one public offender would have not been able to get me one year instead I pay all this money for an attorney to take something Personal and not do his job correctly . I still don't understand why he was offended that I was taking my time. Anyways go with somone else. He did not do his job correctly at all.

    I hired attorney tempin to represent my son. He asked me what I wanted him to do. I said, keep my…read moreson out of the Illinois department of corrections. I paid him $2000. For a few days later, when I contacted him again, he said that he gave the file to another attorney Kevin. Because he was taking over the law firm from mister bulldog, then I get told. Well. We didn't realize how serious his charges were. But yet they still kept my $2000. Then, the very first time that my son meets with attorney. Kevin, he says, well, what do you want us to do? So my son explained to him about doing his time at the Winnebago County jail next court date and the day that he meets with attorney Kevin. He told my son well if I was you. I'd just plead guilty, get it done. And you don't have to worry about nothing to this day. I explained to them at the beginning of day one keep my son out of the Illinois department of corrections. They did not do this. All I feel like I got screwed out of 2000. They did not do what I asked in the beginning.So if I was you and you had a federal case, I would never hire these people.Because they just s**** y** out of your money, they could have called me and said we can't represent you.The charges are too serious, but no, they went ahead.And took my money gave me a worthless a**.Attorney doesn't even return my cause and when he's finally in the office, I have to deal with the secretary that is a very nice lady.So if anybody gets attorney, kevin, you might as well throw your money in the f****** toilet

    Extremely helpful in all aspects. By far one of the best lawyers I've ever worked with.read more

    My divorce was complicated and drug out for nearly a year. Very early in the process, I knew I had…read morehired the wrong attorney. Fring her terrified me, but I knew I could not go thorough this experience with her. Even when you are the person seeking the divorce, it is a complicated and highly emotional time. When I retained his counsel, one of the first things Attorney Smith told me was that he felt there were times his clients needed to have their hand held, and other times when they might require a compassionate kick in the butt (not his exact words, but something to that effect). For the nine months he represented me though this trying time of my life, he stayed true to that proclamation. The patience shown by his paralegal (Maria) on days when I was close to a meltdown was also greatly appreciated. I am relieved it is over, and I am beyond grateful that I ended up with the perfect law firm to take me though the process. I don't often write online reviews, but this was absolutely necessary, as finding the right attorney is so important when going through a divorce. I highly recommend Attorney Michael Smith.

Smith a few days ago to update him. I don't believe I should over pay attorney and staff to get same information. They charge high enough. I was over charged because of staff errors. I paid them to fill out forms and they were not filled correctly so they had to be redone many times. Then attorney Smith would take it out on me. I would never recommend this attorney because he must of had rough days often and he would take it out on me with his attitude. If I would have had the money for another retainer fee I would have gotten another attorney when I started my case.
