Unfortunately I hired Barb S. 3/2015 for counsel as a defendant of my ex gf of 5 months, 18 yrs…read moreprior that decided to file that I was making more money now & she wanted more child support as it was to run out 9 months later. Day one talking to Barb I gave her a piece of paper with secure evidence of NEVER missing a child support payment plus 11K voluntary overage payments I made to my ex over the years through IDSU that St Clair Co. mailed to me that past Dec 2014. 100% NOT GUILTY defendant & she took advantage of me not knowing & trusting her to help me as she said on day one. Her words were that there was no way I was guilty of the accusations of owing my ex anything. This matter should of been over before it started. But after 19K drained from me over 1.5 yrs from Barb Sherer I said enough I am going to be my own lawyer. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Trust this review at a minimum if you are not the plaintiff seeking money or are the defendant that is innocent. NEVER HIRE BARB SHERER in Edwardsville, I do mot believe she has anyone's best interest at heart but her own. But I will only speak for myself and I know for a fact thats the truth. I was naive as I had never been in this situation before. How she ran my bill up was by cancelling court dates. Which then started to become a domino effect of me trying to keep up with her $1500 retainer fee which seemed almost monthly. Which a couple of those court dates she blamed me to the courts that I was not current on the retainer fee so she would have to cancel, then cycle of me paying more would happen until I ended it Oct 2016 finally.

Brian Polinske is the right choice, if you're looking to win!…read more Brian is a skilled lawyer who mythodically prepares the case. He knows how the system works. His professionalism and confidence are quickly recognized and respected in the court room. I am a mother who can breathe again....I will forever be grateful to Brian for helping my son. My son made a bad decision and Brian worked it out so that my son got a second chance at life! My son was facing 2 Felony X Charges and 1 Class lll Felony Charge. (Do the math... It was a horrible situation) With my son living in CA and me living in NY we had absolutely no idea how to go about finding a lawyer in IL. We were blessed to have gotten Brian. There were many prayers and lots of emotions throughout this 14 month process but now it is finished!!!! Brian worked out a plea bargain of 2 years probation and fine for my son. I am still amazed!!! I will never forget to be thankful each morning. I continue to pray everyday and now I added Brian to my list :)

The simplest of things he couldn't do for me. Such as return phone calls or emails and he and his office lost court paperwork making my case even harder. I ended up firing him for the best lawyer in EdwardSeville. Lost 13K dealing with a snake in the grass who worked like another attorney in the other persons favor. Missed court dates, rescheduled meetings that never happened and him just being an ass. I wouldn't chose this man if it was my attempt at freedom. He may have been the best at one time but it certainly isn't now. You'll be hard pressed to get him out of his Golf Attire, let alone to an actual out room hearing. What a joke he is. Donna is ehhh but their daughter really shines, especially with the verbal and mental abuse I've seen her father brain pull on her. see Briana's a failed psychologist and tries to play those games on his client.. let alone the victims. he came across like he was on drugs and not very professional.

My experience with Megan Nolan as a Guardian ad Litem was profoundly unfair and unprofessional…read more She refused to review or include critical evidence I provided, declined to conduct any meaningful investigation, and would not visit my home despite repeated requests. This evidence was significant enough that my own attorneys acknowledged it and attempted to correct the record, yet she still refused to include it in her report. I was also denied equal access. When I asked for additional time to speak with her, I was refused, while the opposing party was given considerably more hours. This unequal treatment created a strong appearance of bias and prejudgment. A Guardian ad Litem is ethically obligated to remain neutral, investigate all relevant facts, and act in the child's best interests. In my case, Ms. Nolan failed in these duties, issued a one-sided recommendation, and harmed the outcome of my case. I also personally overheard her office staff speaking disrespectfully about an elderly client and discussing matters related to that client's will in a way that felt inappropriate and unprofessional. Based on my experience, I believe her conduct was unethical and below the professional standards expected of a Guardian ad Litem.

Hi residents of Missouri,…read more I just called Marc Jacob, Esq office to discuss and possibly retain him for real estate matters I have as an investor in Missouri. The receptionist or the person that answered the phone asked me if I just want to ask him for free some questions or am I looking to hire him. I said both, I am having tenant issues in one of my SFH and I could use his consultation. She than told me that he is not taking on any new clients. Why did she ask me those questions in the first place if he is not taking on any new clients. It was her tone and she was unprofessional. I would never hire her to answer my phones! I regret I ever called Marc Jacob office.

My soon to be ex husband (ex) signed on with Randy Steele in late October 2024 to start divorce…read moreproceedings. Since then, the advice he has given him is bordering on (if not actually) criminal. First of all, almost a month later, his lawyer has made no contact with me whatsoever. On top of that, the advice he has given him has been: 1. A car that was gifted to me by a family member and solely in my name, is marital property (which is untrue), and he can keep it, even though when he left, he told the police that he would make arrangements to give it back within the week (there was no other vehicle here for him to leave in). Arrangements were made for the following Thursday at a location he chose and he didn't show because Randy Steele said he didn't have to. 2. To write up a piece of paper and sign it saying that a car in ex's name is legal for me to drive, even though it isn't registered. The car is solely in ex's name, so I can't make it legal, only he can. Leaving me with a useless piece of paper and no way to get to the store or schools for our kids. 3. That I am to use credit cards that are solely in my name, to support our children (3 of them, two who are medically fragile and need round the clock care) and he will make the minimum payments on the credit cards, IF he has enough money after ex's bills are paid. Ex's bills are to be paid first though and if there is anything left after, then only the minimum payments on the credit cards will be met monthly. If I don't have enough credit, then I should put in for another credit card. (No alimony after 19 years of marriage and my being unable to work due to the children's medical needs for the last 13 1/2 years). 4. Ex will only see the children on Sundays. I am to make sure the children are available for him on Sundays in case he wants to see them. He only needs to tell me what times on Sunday he wants to see the children with an hours notice, since I know that Sundays will be the day he wants to see them, if he wants to see them. If I can't make Sunday work his lawyer will file paperwork against me for withholding the children and parental interference (He has seen them a total of 2 hours in October on one day and one hour in November last week, so far, with only a week left in the month). 5. That he is not to babysit the children for me to find a job or work, even though with my lack of work experience I can only anticipate making minimum wage, and the children need an LPN licensed caregiver or above, which will cost more than my earning potential. I will find out the reasoning behind this when we get to court from Randy Steele (although there is no court date or even a motion filed for a court date). Those are the only ones I can prove via text from my ex and the piece of paper he wrote out over the car that isn't legal to drive, but there are many more that have been said to me by my ex, I just cannot prove them. All while Randy Steele has not filed ANYTHING with the courts or made any contact with me. Might be a good idea for anyone looking for a lawyer to find a different one, because he isn't doing my ex ANY favors and all advice he has given him, is either negligent, downright criminal or both which will come back to bite ex. Shame on Randy Steele for encouraging an abusive man to put his children in a position to suffer.
