I also needed a real estate attorney to help with the sale of my mom's condo. I found all of these at Lifka & Lifka. I worked mostly with Dan Lifka on estate matters, and found him to be thoroughly professional, careful, thoughtful, and reliable in all that I asked him to do. Unexpectedly, there were several complications that required calm, balance, and perspective beyond what the norm might have required. In every way, Dan did a superb job, and so did Deb on the real estate part of the work. The firm charged a fair price for the work, and I appreciated that the hourly rate and time expended was reasonable, and not as large as it could have been in view of the size of the estate. This is a first class firm providing the same quality services of a large downtown law firm with a estate and trust department, but at a fraction of the cost. I recommend them without reservation.

Very rarely write reviews unless they're positive, but based on the experience I had with…read moreO'Flaherty, felt it was important for others as they choose a law firm. Hired O'Flaherty and paid a flat fee for their firm to complete ten (10) quick claim deeds to transfer properties from individual ownership into our family trust. Normally this process would take a few weeks, and the majority of time is waiting on the County registrar to process the deeds. Started this process in October and finally completing the transfer seven (7) months later. A short list of O'Flaherty's performance - Incorrectly filled out all ten (10) quick claim deeds - incorrectly inputted multiple parcel ID's, after I sent all of them in the correct format - incorrectly submitted eRETR transfer requests leading to multiple rejections by the County Registrar - Incorrectly tried to charge me a transfer fee of 3% on our total property valuation ( over $75k), without having any idea that transferring property into a trust does not incur charges in WI (I was forced to spend hours calling into the County to confirm the transfer fee exemption process) - was scolded by their lawyers stating that they were only contracted to complete the quick claim deeds, and had no responsibility to submit any documentation for transferring deeds, when this is the only reason I called a law firm in the first place Never once in 7 months followed up on the status, or lackthereof, of the deed transfer process; every update was predicated on my countless emails and phone calls - leaving the names of specific POC's off this review as this is indicative of the entire firm and not one person in particular

If you're feeling overwhelmed about finding the right family lawyer who will provide the best…read morerepresentation for your family, I highly recommend Paul and The Lytle Law Group. With their extensive experience in handling the complexities of family law, Paul and his team are organized, communicative, and always thoroughly prepared to represent you and your case. Paul's Expertise and Dedication: Paul is a remarkable attorney. His caring and empathetic nature, combined with his strategic thinking and legal expertise, are evident in his strong track record of success and sound legal counsel. He was dedicated beyond measure to each case he handled on my behalf, demonstrating not only professional obligation but also a deep care for me as a person. Paul arrived at every court date thoroughly prepared and well-versed in the specifics of my case, always ready to defend and advocate for my family. His meticulous attention to detail ensured that no aspect of the case was overlooked, and even the most complex or unique requests were handled with precision and care. Clear Communication and Support: As someone who finds ambiguity difficult to manage, I left every meeting with Paul feeling empowered and informed. He made sure I understood every step of the legal process and took the time to explain even the finer points of the law so that I always knew what to expect. I'm a verbal processor, and Paul was incredibly patient, listening to all my concerns and helping me organize my thoughts--not just for court appearances, but also for stressful interactions with other parties involved in the case. Because of Paul's compassion, thorough preparation, and ability to clearly explain the legal process while validating my emotional experience, the family law court dates became completely stress-free for me. Accessibility and Trust: Paul and his team were always accessible by phone and email, even offering weekend availability to ensure my case was handled efficiently. From the moment I began working with Paul, I felt completely secure in trusting him with my case, both legally and financially. His pricing was clear, fair, and reflected the incredible value he provided. I knew every dime I invested was going toward someone who genuinely cared about my well-being and success. Throughout my time working with Paul, he continued to earn my trust through his professionalism and dedication. He is worth every single penny of my investment. Previous Experience and Continued Excellence: In 2023, I left a review on Avvo about Paul's invaluable assistance with an emergency order of protection. Since then, Paul and The Lytle Law Group have continued to guide me through my family law case with the same exceptional care and expertise I wrote about in my Avvo review. Here is a photo of that review and this link to that review to show my continued confidence in Paul's abilities: https://www.avvo.com/attorneys/60515-il-paul-lytle-4516230.html Empathy and Personalization: Paul's sensitivity to my unique challenges was remarkable--he adjusted his approach to ensure I felt safe and heard throughout the entire process.

Paul's competence, compassion, and legal expertise have made a lasting positive impact, and I can't recommend him enough.

Going through my divorce was like walking through hell, but luckily I had Denise as my guide. She was right there with me every step of the way making sure I avoided the dangers and pitfalls. I can't speak highly enough of Denise! She's a hardworking attorney that's always available. There were times when I emailed her late at night, not expecting a response until the next day, but I received a reply within minutes. I always feel like I'm her priority because she listens and answers all my questions. I never feel like she's rushing me or trying to get me off the call. I never feel like I'm just another billable account. Denise is an expert in negotiations. She's flexible when she needs to be and absolutely unwavering when she has to be. She's honest and doesn't sugarcoat things. She sets realistic expectations which helps guide my decision-making process. In a divorce, the little details makes a huge difference, and when the PA and MSA came around, her attention to details helped me navigate the intricacies of the terms and their implications. My case also involved a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) for my children, and Denise's experience as a GAL was invaluable to me in dealing with that situation. With her experience, she guided me in how to present my case to the GAL for a positive outcome. I believe that Denise is not only an great lawyer, but she is also a compassionate human being. She was there for me during the most difficult time in my life and I appreciate her very much! Highly highly recommended!!!

BEST FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY!! I'm not a trustworthy person and…read moreI especially did not think I could trust a lawyer even one working for me but I was proven wrong. We had gone to multiple places over the years and we showed all our paperwork and told our story and not ONE of them actually looked me in the eye and showed any sense of, well a soul, all they would say to me is this is our retainer, this is how much we charge, get it give it to me sign here and we'll be in touch. Yeah so I knew that once I got all this money together the retainer would be gone in two seconds and they would have drawn up one thing and made a few calls. They didn't even tell me a plan of action or explain what the process they were thinking of. They had a fake smile, offered coffee or water and made me feel like "were pretty much done after you sign here." When I didn't want a drink, I wanted some sense of footing that what I wanted to be done would be handled. So, a friend who had used Fran white before suggested I give her a try. She was the first lawyer that looked me IN THE EYE and said this is how much, this is what we want to happen, this is what could happen. We will take it one step at a time. And ever since I signed with her we have gotten nothing but DEVOTION, decency, and skill. She knows her stuff. She knows all the courthouses Cook county, DuPage county, etc. She is always calm because when you're that good at what you do you can be that calm. The process is tough because family law is basically figuring out how to put your family together so it's best for your children and everyone. One shouldn't have to worry about your lawyer using your resources. I recommend the law offices of white and white. I wish whomever is reading this a blessed journey. You will get there it just takes time
