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

He was very empathetic, quick to respond to all my emails, knowledgeable, let me go to my own doctors so I knew I was getting good care that I needed, settled my case in a timely manner, and I'm happy with my settlement. I would not hesitate using this law firm! They were phenomenal to work with.

Life-Changing Representation - Twenty years ago, I suffered a significant spinal injury and severe…read moremental health damage from specialized military training. For years, I was deceived into believing I wasn't eligible for benefits. Despite clear medical records showing my on-duty injuries, I was repeatedly stonewalled by bureaucratic processes and a legal framework designed to deny, deny, deny. By mid-2024, I faced yet another denial. Frustrated but determined, I started reaching out to attorneys. I spoke to a lot of them. For me, the right vibe and connection are essential--if the relationship doesn't feel right, I won't move forward. After all, attorneys get a portion of the back pay, so the decision has to feel good both professionally and personally. I passed on several other attorneys and ultimately chose Jim Comerford to represent me. And brothers and sisters, my life has been forever changed. Jim took me from a measly 10% for tinnitus to 80% and finally to 100% disability in an impressively short amount of time. The best part? Hearing Jim's personal passion for my case. As veterans, we're used to feeling like "just another number," but with Jim, it's different. His heart is truly focused on you. You'll feel it. You'll see it. If you're tired of being played by "the system," do yourself a favor and tag Jim Comerford into the ring. He'll fight for you like you deserve. Thank you, Jim, for giving me my life back.

I retained Aronberg Goldgehn Davis & Garmisa and paid a retainer of $10,000. After being retained,…read morelittle to no substantive work was performed on my matter, communication was poor, and my concerns were not adequately addressed. Once it became clear that the firm was not acting in my best interests, I terminated the representation. Despite this, my retainer was not returned in full as I believe it should have been given the lack of meaningful work performed. They charged me over $6,000 for this meaningless performance. This experience was extremely disappointing and financially damaging. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others to carefully document everything, ask very detailed questions up front, and think twice before retaining this firm.

Elizabeth Lazzara is so much more than an attorney to me. I honestly do not have enough words to…read moreexpress how deeply grateful I am for everything she has done for me. It was an honor to have her by my side during one of the most painful and difficult chapters of my life--my divorce and custody case. Her guidance, wisdom, and dedication added immeasurable value to my life and my future. Through every challenge, Elizabeth remained strong, calm, and incredibly supportive. When I felt overwhelmed and broken, she stood up for me. She did not just represent me in court--she advocated for my future and my child's well-being with strength, integrity, and heart. Her ability to balance firmness with compassion, and strength with understanding, made all the difference. Elizabeth is firm, fair, and deeply compassionate. She fought for me while also treating me with kindness and respect when I needed it the most. I also had the blessing of working with her colleague, Sara Imam, who is just as wonderful--supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I cannot forget to thank Marlene Chavez, an incredible administrative professional who always made sure I was informed, updated, and never left in the dark. Her care and communication meant more than she probably knows. The entire team made me feel safe, understood, and supported from the very first day. In the middle of so much pain and uncertainty, they gave me peace, confidence, and hope. I will forever be thankful to Elizabeth, Sara, Marlene, and the entire staff. They were not just my legal team--they became part of my healing. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who wants not only an excellent attorney, but also a team who truly adds value to your life and genuinely cares.

SAVE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!! They accepted my case, were incredibly unhelpful…read moreand did nothing for months before sending me an email stating they decided they aren't going to take the case and recommend I try a firm in another state with zero explanation as to why I should do that. If my case wasn't something they could work, they could have told me that months prior and given me a chance to work with someone else. Now I have to start at square one with a case that's months behind. A little communication about what's happening would have been nice. An explanation as to why they wasted so much of my time would have been even better. They did neither. Shame on this firm and their incredibly poor customer service. I'd give zero stars if that were an option.

I have nothing but good things to say about this law firm. As per other reviews, I can't comment as…read moreI have never worked with the other mentioned attorneys. I worked solely with Elise Yu and Thomas. I am very grateful to have found them. After Thomas reviewed my evidence and clearly saw I was not in the wrong he called the attorney immediately and spoke to him. Let me just say that Thomas put the opposing attorney in his place (in a good way). He's very knowledgable, kind and knows what he is doing. Since the other side really has no case against me, I've been in contact with Elise the most as we are just playing the "waiting game" until they come back with a counter offer or something (I am not a lawyer, so I don't know all this legal jargon.). On top of being super responsive with all my questions, Elise has also helped me with a few other things as a courtesy which speaks volumes to her work ethic and service. No matter what time I have e-mailed her, she always responds right away in the morning. She is very kind, compassionate and really wants to help. Now, I have not had to go to court and won't have to, so I can't speak on that. What was done was mostly communication, back and forth talks about settlements and all the other legal stuff/laws lawyers need to do and know. I would recommend this law firm to anyone in a heart beat (in fact, I already have!). Especially Thomas and Elise. Those two together are great! I've left many reviews before, but this one is one of the few I felt the most compelled to write as dealing with the law is totally different than dealing with a restaurants service. I rarely give out 5 stars, but they truly deserve it!

Ray Law Firm has been an incredible help with our marriage-based immigration case…read more From the start, the entire team--Rayed, Herb, and especially Raquel--worked diligently and thoroughly on our multiple applications. They were always easy to work with, never made unrealistic promises, and maintained constant communication throughout the process. Rayed, our attorney, was a tremendous support and was right there with us during the interview, which made a big difference. Thanks to their hard work and guidance, my husband Juan and I were able to successfully obtain his green card within a year of filing.

In court they had a great relationship with the court personnel and SA's and were able to chat in a no nonsense but very friendly manner to resolve my case with what amounted to a dismissal on a number of crazy counts that the Arlington Heights Police Dept. decided to pour on because the officers were essentially annoyed that I wasn't a criminal with a giant list of warrants after running the (not my) plates of the car I was driving when I stopped to get gas. I'm way more than satisfied and would highly recommend this law office to anyone with a criminal defense or traffic related issue... and I already have to several folks.
