Anna Busch is beyond embarrassing when it comes to her legal practices. She was appointed to my…read morecase 4 years ago and has done nothing to help my son or my family. She is a very untruthful, biased attorney who would rather lie than do her job. She has never investigated any claims made in my case, but made the decision 4 years ago that my son should have contact with his father based on what his mother coached him to say. She tells me perception is everything, but how is that possible when we're talking about physical abuse? Anna really needs to look herself in the mirror and accept the fact that she's beyond terrible at her job, but she won't because how else would all of her vacations get paid for?

During the 1990's, when I lived in Illinois, I had Anna Markley Bush for my divorce attorney which…read morequickly turned into a child custody battle in Cook County, Illinois, no thanks to her. She did to me what she did to many others. Paula S. described it perfectly on 12/15/2020. Coincidentally, when I was talking to a co-worker, who described her negative experience with her attorney, stating that her attorney told her she'd "never lost a child custody case for any of her clients", I responded that mine told me those exact words. When I asked her who her attorney was, she said it was Anna Markley Bush, my attorney! Anna lied to me about so many things, and would tell my husband's attorney things that I thought was confidential, who, in turn told my husband. Little did she realize my husband relayed that information back to me once the divorce was finalized. We compared notes and agreed that we both had been duped by our attorneys who took all our life savings and any equity we had in our home. Anna will tell you anything she feels will benefit her and her pocketbook or her leisure time. She will feign sickness when she wants to go to lunch with her staff for their birthday or take a day off at your expense, instead of showing up in court, thereby stretching your case out and collecting more of your money. She even took the money I was to get in lieu of alimony money and charged me that amount to use that to make my final payment to her. She acts as if she is pro-woman, yet she doesn't care about anyone or anything but herself and buying another Benz, boat or summer home. She defends no one. She will sit on your case and will take her time to run up your bill. It took 3 years to finalize our divorce. And in that 3 years she successfully, along with my x-husband's attorney, financially destroyed us and our children for decades afterwards. If anyone here gave her 5 star maximum, it's probably one of her friends. NOTE: everyone else gave her ONE star rating. My case was in the 90', as was my co-worker's. And I see from the other one star comments that Anna Markley Bush only got lazier and more deceitful and greedier through 2020. Now Heise retired, and she has someone named "ANN" who she is teaching how to rip off clients, no doubt. DO NOT hire Anna Markley Bush or anyone who works with her. I speak from an experience that not only destroyed my life, but my x-husband's life, and the life and futures of all 3 of my children. She has a poor business ethics, and should have been disbarred long ago.

My husband and I highly recommend Michael Murphy. We hired him to represent us when we bought our…read morefirst home. We thought he was really informative and did a great job helping us work with the seller after our home inspection. It seemed like he was really knowledgeable about the process too. What most impressed us was how sincere his advocacy felt. At closing, we had some concerns about some of the repairs that seller made. He talked us through it, advised us on the best strategy, and stayed with us for several hours until we heard from the seller. It never felt like he was itching to leave during that time, which I would have expected since we were there for so long! Afterwards, he helped make sure the remaining repairs were taken care of. I can't comment on price, since my husband and I hired him through a plan. He always responded to e-mails on time, and was responsive when we called as well. Overall, Michael seemed reliable and trustworthy, and was a great advocate for us when we bought our first home. We highly recommend him!

After doing a great deal of research of Yelp, Angie's list and many law firm affiliates, I found…read moreRoss Law Firm. It felt like a professional and comfortable fit for my family. My Mother wanted to adjust her trust and we worked closely with Patrick. The cost was approximately $4,000 which we thought reasonable. Payment plans are also offered, which is a terrific alternative if needed. We began the process just after the Covid pandemic. Patrick worked with Mom virtually. She preferred her documents be rushed and paid an additional fee. We met with the firm in the parking lot to sign the proper documents safely (masks, social distancing) and the complete packet was mailed overnight. The experience was thorough and positive. I will use this family owned law firm in the future.
