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

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

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.

His support helped me not only legally but personally, as I've gained greater peace of mind. Paul's competence, compassion, and legal expertise have made a lasting positive impact, and I can't recommend him enough.

Theresa (at Trinity Family Law) is an amazing person, healer, and collaborative divorce lawyer…read more Don't confuse collaborative divorce with mediation -- they are different animals. Above and beyond her skills in the collaborative process, she cares deeply for her clients and is good at figuring out any underlying issues of what might be going on. I felt as comfortable as could be with a difficult process, divorcing a husband who was in denial and didn't want a divorce at all. Theresa supported me beautifully and led us through the process smoothly.

We followed through but I wish I'd just hired Theresa from the outset- feel free to learn from my experience. She and Trinity succeeded in several key areas where many others did not: communication, explanation , flexibility, billing. Theresa has a paralegal and an assistant and no email or call ever went unanswered. Most responses were same day or within 24 hours. Every time I needed something explained and reexplained they ALWAYS did so with patience and professionalism and would write it down for me. Theresa and Tribity were willing to work with our mediator but still complete the other portions of the divorce, which many attorneys won't do. Trinity has a monthly billing review which is automatically sent and you always see the hourly billing and rates and they take multiple forms of payment. Very transparent. So professional. Believe me, many attorneys and mediators aren't so organized. In my divorce there were many bumps in the road and problems and it drew out for a long time. Theresa and her whole team were very humane to me and were sometimes the only bright spot in the process- they were people to rely on and I hope if you're in the same boat as me an my kids were that you find the same respite in Theresa Kulat and Trinity.

Abandoned in Open Court - Beware of Brad Erdman…read more Review: If you are looking for an attorney to protect your family and your assets, look elsewhere. I retained Bradley Erdman at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC (MKFM Law) for a child custody and financial enforcement case. On March 4, 2026, during an active custody status hearing, I asked him a few standard, clarifying questions about the court process and our strategy for enforcing a major financial judgment. Instead of answering me, Brad became completely dismissive and abruptly withdrew as my attorney right there in open court. He left me completely unrepresented in front of the judge during a critical moment in my custody case. A family law attorney is supposed to be your advocate during highly stressful times. Brad Erdman proved that if you ask questions or expect clear communication, he will cut and run, leaving you entirely exposed. I am now filing a formal grievance with the state disciplinary commission. Protect yourself and find counsel who actually honors their ethical obligations to their clients. #MKFMLaw #DuPageCounty #WheatonIL #FamilyLaw #DivorceAttorney #ChildCustody

We cannot thank Mark enough for his exceptional work on our son's case--one that had been…read moremishandled for over five years by two prior attorneys. Finding Mark was truly a turning point and a godsend. Referred to us over Labor Day weekend, Mark met with us almost immediately, already fully versed in the details of our case and familiar with its history. From the outset, he was transparent, strategic, and methodical about how he would approach our situation. Mark is highly skilled, deeply knowledgeable, and remarkably effective in navigating the legal system. He combines professionalism with genuine compassion, treating his clients with respect and without judgment. His passion for justice is evident in everything he does, and he advocates with both precision and determination to achieve the best possible outcome. Within days of taking over our son's case, Mark developed a focused legal strategy, prepared critical documents, met extensively with our son, and brought long-overdue momentum to the case. His insight into the prosecution's approach allowed him to counter their arguments with sharp, well-executed legal tactics. What two other attorneys failed to accomplish in five years, Mark resolved in a matter of two months. What sets Mark apart is his integrity--he is driven not by profit, but by doing what is right. Throughout an incredibly stressful process, he remained steady, reassuring, and confident, giving us a sense of trust and hope we had long lost. We knew our case was in the hands of a true expert. Mark's dedication, empathy, and unwavering commitment to his clients make him an outstanding attorney and a trustworthy and honorable man. His efforts quite literally changed our son's future--from facing 28 years in prison for something he did not do, to receiving probation. We wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a passionate, competent, and results-driven attorney. God Bless you Mark and thank you for all you did for us. -- SJ, DJ, MJ

I only worked with Alexander Sendlak who is absolutely terrible. I hired him in April 2025, since he got my case, he has not done anything other than transfer emails and response between me and the opposing lawyer. I did all the negotiation with apposing party myself the entire time, all he said from the very beginning is that "This is a good deal, sign it". never even made any effort to take a look at my case or even educate me on anything at all. what is worse is that he clearly stated that .3 hours is the minimum for the first task, after that minimum is .1, but guess what he charged me .3 hour on every single email and text messages he sent to me or anyone in the case. if you need a divorce lawyer, trust me that you have to find someone else if you don't want to hire someone just to bill you without doing anything. contact me if you have any question about this lawyer.
