He noticed details that others missed during our real estate transaction that wound up saving us thousands of dollars (tax related information) and pushed for us to get the benefits that we desired.

He is very knowledgeable, provides superior service and I find him VERY HONEST! I have never seen him take advantage of someone by unnecessary fees or dragging the case! I certainly get an impression that he is one of those guys always looking for their clients best interest above anything else. I also love the fact that he is easy to get hold of, super responsive and personally handles his files or clients. Haven't we all seen attorneys who let their paralegals run the case and only show up for the finale? Not Ziggy. He is involved in every case or transaction from day one to the finish! I totally recommend him! Great guy!

ZERO stars. I would be surprised if this "law" office remained in business much longer. Unethical,…read moreillegal and down right negligent. Al takes your money and gives you ZERO legal advice. Debbie, the resident paper pusher DOES NOT relay negotiating terms to the seller. We were buyers and knew our sellers. We had to work around to negotiate because all we got back from the "attorney" was NO. NO to everything almost killed the deal multiple times. Until the end when we found out that the sellers had a lien on their house. Debbie lied and legally signed off that there wasn't a lien. The house was not able to close because of the lien and my family is homeless. We found out the day of. No explanation, no apology, no empathy. Unfortunately when there is not an attorney working on your close things get missed. So hire an attorney. Not Debbie the paper pusher. I have other words for her but I will keep them to myself. Avoid this place like the plague. There are so many honest options and if someone is going to charge you $175 they cannot do the job. That's your first clue...a real attorney doesn't charge $175.

We don't remember nor do either one of us have the papers. I sent to the state of Illinois for a copy they told me there is nothing. I've been married 2 times since then so ya that's not good news. Long story short I called urban and Burt and. John C is no longer with them, but the lady that answered the phone and God helped me. I can't remember her name. She's been there forever. She was the nicest oh my God, most hopeful person because we were basically at our wits sons. She found it in archives on discs. I mean talk about helping it was amazing.

I only hit one star because you can't post without it. Use this firm at your own risk. My case is…read morestill in court. My former attorney received payment for services that were not performed well. The last 4 times the case was heard, I never received an update. My case somehow fell off the docket and my attorney did absolutely nothing to get it back on after several conversations. This went on so long that my court appointed GAL tried to refund me because the case had received no follow up. Meanwhile, when I spoke to my attorney again, she blatantly asked me "Do you want to argue about what hasn't been done, or get to work?" I still had hope and was trying to make this happen a second time around. I guess I should've known better when she almost settled my first case for child support WITHOUT my consultation or permission. We had several continuances prior to that. I had no idea this was occurring, because communication was vague and I was told she would handle it when they did finally speak to me. I got notice directly from court this time stating if I didn't appear for the next hearing, they would automatically rule in favor of mom. After she commeneced going back and forth with mom and the state of IL., she told me what she was asking them to settle for (I never asked her to do that, neither was I advised of this plan prior to it happening). The only reason I was able to ascertain what was transpiring is because mom would not agree to the terms. I then was able to advocate through her but for myself meaning, even though she agreed the amount I was being sued for, I had to ask WHY did I need to pay ANYTHING seeing that I had proof of payment (this was submitted to the judge AND the state prior to hiring her, and then my attorney as well upon retaining her.) going all the way back to the childs D.O.B. The one thing she did do right was successfully advocate for mom to pay half of the fees since she lied and I'm in this jam because she wouldn't hold to her agreement. Since then, I've filed for a cease and desist of legal representation of any kind from Urban & Burt Ltd. I've requested documents via email, and no one has returned my calls or request. As if that's not enough, I was charge again for filing an appearance motion that she offered to do in front of the judge out of "kindness" after the judge discharged her from this case and also charged me to withdraw from the case. I started not to write this review, because in a different setting, I think I could have respected her as a person. I think she does have wisdom at times, however, she didn't perform her due diligence. Since, I've consulted several other attorneys, and they all said the same thing. After looking at the case notes, they feel I was misrepresented. The problem is I went all in to make sure my daughter has a father in her life, so I didn't mind paying, but I'm broke now. I've literally had to choose between paying my assessments for my home or paying Urban & Burt some times (guess who won). I tried to space out payments when I saw no work being done in hopes of motivating them to do something. Nothing happened with that either. This is really stressful and disheartening. I pray you guys don't get this back. I'm walking away hurt and upset but it's all love. Here's to wishing you the best. M.W.
