Was seeking legal advice while contemplating a divorce after almost 20 years of marriage and was…read morebasically told I would get none without paying a full retainer for divorce. Not only did Russelburg interrupt me numerous times, but failed to ask crucial questions about a premarital property as well as a 401k of mine that was also earned premarital. His advice contradicted the 2 other attorneys that did provide me with effective counsel without retainer. His tone seemed very condescending as well as sexist. Would not recommend him for any FEMALE seeking opinion on a contemplated divorce, you won't get much... if allowed to even complete your sentences. Nor does he do post nuptial agreements... but he is ready to take your retainer for divorce... even if you are not certain that is in your best interests!

During what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life, Teresa McAdams proved to…read morebe an invaluable support. She navigated through my divorce proceedings with sensitivity and grace. Teresa was thorough in her approach, making sure I understood all my options for child custody. Her genuine care and empathy made a significant difference in my experience. The process was just over two years from the day I filed for divorce. After psych evals and a GAL, I was awarded full custody of one child and primary custody of the other two. My ex went through a local attorney that ended up firing her after the psych evals and then she hired a Chicago attorney at Davis Friedmans law firm. This just goes to show you that you don't need to pay $525 an hour for a Chicago attorney to be represented. Teresa's paralegal Lori was the best! Lori's professionalism and timely communication helped alleviate my stress. At times I think I used her more as a therapist! I am deeply grateful for her service and highly recommend Teresa McAdams to anyone facing similar circumstances.

I honestly don't want to give any stars. After losing another lawyer that was helping me in my…read morecase, which is currently still in motion, I received a letter from Teresa McAdams stating that they dropped me as a client and that I need to find another lawyer. They didn't even communicate to tell me that my lawyer was no longer with them. It had been weeks, since they knew, and I guess it didn't seem important enough to let me know. Yet they still sent the bill, Before they send out the letter. The paralegal Lori, was extremely rude to me on the phone when I was simply asking questions about why they had dropped me. She was bothered because me, the "paying client" had questions and was calling them out on their incompetence. Needless to say, their communication sucks. It seems that the communication only works when they need to get paid. For sure that email with the bill gets sent out on time. If you ask me, having lost two lawyers says a lot. I DO NOT recommend this office for ANY of your legal issues. Sinceramente, no quiero darles ni una sola estrella. Tras perder a otro abogado que llevaba mi caso --el cual sigue en curso--, recibí una carta de Teresa McAdams informándome de que habían dejado de representarme y que debía buscar otro abogado. Ni siquiera se molestaron en avisarme de que mi abogado ya no trabajaba con ellos. Llevaban semanas sabiéndolo, pero supongo que no les pareció lo suficientemente importante como para comunicármelo. Sin embargo, sí enviaron la factura antes incluso de remitir la carta. La asistente legal, Lori, fue sumamente grosera conmigo por teléfono cuando simplemente intentaba averiguar por qué habían decidido dejar de llevar mi caso. Le molestaba que yo --el cliente que paga-- tuviera preguntas y les señalara su incompetencia. Huelga decir que su comunicación es pésima. Parece que solo se comunican cuando necesitan cobrar; el correo electrónico con la factura sí que lo envían puntualmente. En mi opinión, el hecho de haber perdido a dos abogados dice mucho. NO recomiendo este despacho para NINGÚN asunto legal.

Doesnt give you the time of day. He will tell you what hes going to do when you go to court. But when you walk into court he doesnt do anything, you end up with a continuance or your case just dragging on forever with no result and not getting anywhere.

So in seeing that she handled wills and estates we went to her for my MIL's estate. It was and still is the most horrible experience I have ever had. I have closed two estates before this and have never had such a hard time, ever! It is hard enough to be an executor and you are paying A LOT of money for an attorney to make it less stressful, not more. Her staff is beyond rude, they never answered any question we had asked and when we called it was we'll get back to you but never did. Then they refused to talk to me, even though they had permission to. We previously used an that did a fantastic job just they are in Chicago and we wanted local. That was one of the biggest mistakes we have ever made. Now I have a final bill that is charging us for reading our questions and never answering any of them! Any time we asked they made up more questions for us like we weren't giving them what they needed, it was beyond frustrating and utterly ridiculous. The topper of it all was they absolutely treated us like dirt and implied at every turn that we were trying to do something shady because we wanted to know what they were doing. We pay you to do a job and that is our right to know. Thank god we are back with our original highly competent lawyer who answered every question I asked Lisa's office in about 20 minutes AND didn't charge me for it. They were completely incompetent. We had her do our personal wills which I am now having redone for fear they are not done right. Do yourself a favor and run to anyone and I mean anyone else.
