Received a call the next day from Robin and had to let it go to voicemail as I was in a meeting. Attempted to call Robin back 10 minutes later and received her voicemail stating she would return my call in 24 hours. Left my name and cell #. Never heard back from Robin or anyone at Law Hesselbaum. Found someone else to take care of my estate needs. Seems like they did not need my business. Poor communication.

My husband and I decided to take a leap and chose Obbligato for our tax preparation this year. We…read morewill never go anywhere else after this year!! They were beyond professional and took the time to make sure everything was resolved from our previous firm we used. They really offer quality service. It has been quite some time since working with people that go above and beyond to make sure their clients are taken care of. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an accounting firm in the far west suburbs!!!

The legal system can never be predicted but Mr. Jensen was able to walk me through my options and guide me with a caring hand. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs help with a civil issue. Five stars.

Of course you don't know what will happen when you go to court, but Mr. Jensen did not try to settle or make an offer in my case. I don't think he even looked at any of the documents until the day of the court, and he was in a "pre trial meeting" with the judge and plaintiff's attorney for over 2 hours on the day of the trial. In my case i wound up paying more than if I had just paid what the plaintiff was asking. I had to pay attorney fees and court costs in addition to attorney Jensen's fee. I was looking for a fair price and I told attorney Jensen upfront...on the day I hired him that if it was in my best interest to pay what they were asking I would as I would not be able to afford any additional costs. He assured me that I should "absolutely NOT do that". Silly me...I fell for it and wound up on the hook for an additional $1500.00. Wow--what a great experience. Make no mistake...this is not about winning and losing...this is about not doing anything to represent your client. I know it is petty, but if I could give zero stars I certainly would. :(

We first worked with Jeff to develop wills, trusts and guardianship papers. Jeff was thorough in…read morehelping us protect our estate, he was sensitive in helping us understand the various issues confronting us and was personable through the entire process. We feel more secure with our future having Jeff involved in our estate. We then trusted Jeff to assist in the development of our corporation. Jeff was professional throughout the whole process and offered thoughtful guidance. We felt in control of our business with Jeff focusing on the legal aspects. Jeff also helped us with real estate transactions. Again, we were very pleased with the outcomes. Without hesitation, we recommend Jeff as an attorney. I know his office location recently moved, but you can find out more about his law practice at his website: http://jvandyke.com

Diane is a top notch real estate attorney. We worked with Diane to complete the purchase of our new…read moreconstruction condominium in Chicago's west town neighborhood. More than simply servicing a transaction, Diane guided and educated us through the process. Diane's advice was especially helpful during contract review to ensure the terms of the agreement were equitable. The contract required significant edits to clarify terms and remove conflicting redundancies, and Diane's expertise and attention to detail is exactly what was needed to ensure our best interests were accounted for. Diane even went above and beyond following the completion of the transaction to help hold the builder accountable for completion of items on our punch list. Diane is an exceptional real estate attorney, and someone I highly recommend to support you in the purchase of a new home.

We missed the deadline to respond to my buyers and could potentially lose the sale of my home, and the purchase of our new home. My buyers are urgently requesting a response today since we're way over due on our response, and neither Lisa nor her staff STILL hasn't called me back. It's 3 p.m. If that's the level of service you expect from your attorney, then go ahead and hire her.

If I could give less then 1 I would have. BEWARE!!! I had used Lisa for several real estate…read moreclosings and had referred a lot of business her way and those were fine. 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.

She appeared to be opinionated and insulting. After digging myself into a financial trap, I continued with her services. I was charged close to $40,000.00 to close on a $295,000.00 deal. I am going to get an attorney to look at the figures presented to make sure I wasn't cheated. I would like to give zero star if possible. Please, do not hire Tracey Rapp as your real estate attorney.

Tracey's information is given because I have had nothing but excellent service from her. She responds quickly to any request and takes all the time needed to resolve any issues that come up. She has an assistant who is top notch to lend a hand whenever needed. At closings I have observed her explaining all of the documents to our clients and what they are for. She checks them all for errors and has them corrected should she find one. Our closings have always been pleasant and beyond helpful to us all. On top of that, her fees are very reasonable! I would highly recommend her for your legal home sale and purchase assistance.
