Yes! Denise is as good as it gets.. Rock Solid! Best help I could have ever asked for. She was my "ANGEL" on my case from the very start. My wife actually found her listed online as a defense lawyer for helping with cases & I asked if she would represent me against a previous landlord who hadn't paid back my deposit & when I sued her in Cook County she fired back with a frivolous case in DuPage Co. as a separate case against me. Denise is down to earth, extremely honest & extremely trustworthy & does the most thorough case study & representation one could possibly ask for. She was ALWAYS well prepared ahead of time which thoroughly impressed even the judge with the depth she took my case. The lawyer on landlord's side was late, unprepared, disheveled, and not very representative of a good lawyer. Denise walked all over him in court time & time again. I have recommended her many times so far to other people who are in need of a fabulous lawyer who seems much more like the most trusted family relative you have in your family than a lawyer. She is very personable & caring & the honesty level is the most one could ever desire. She took so much extra time to research on my behalf our case & to represent me which for those many hours she didn't even hardly charge me as my finances were so little, but for this & many more things that represent her personality & professionalism, & her integrity I give to her my utmost respect & want all to know what a privilege it was to have her fighting on my behalf. I was in serious need of the best help I could get to deal with a very bad landlord who took advantage of all of her tenants, especially those from Poland even though the female landlord was Polish & tried to even take my deposit away as well by not paying it even 45 days later! A clear violation of the Chicago Tenant agreement. This landlord countered with a frivolous lawsuit in DuPage County against me. Denise I will always consider a God sent Angel to me & she is a ROCK! She knows the laws inside & out. She fights hard to write an incredible thorough case detailed on your behalf & fights for your rights on many areas you may not even know about....HIRE HER, you WILL NOT REGRET IT! Denise spent countless hours researching our case history, getting past court case history documents & statutes to be added to our case. She also worked tirelessly on this for us. I highly recommend her not just for her professional prowess, but also for her honest personality which shows she has a good heart, cares about all of her clients personally, tries to help as she can, & a very decent person with strong morals, ethics, & integrity. She is a very serious passionate lawyer who gives her very best because it is what she was born to do. She is the most incredible person I could have imagined representing me in a case. I was so honored to have her knowing she was giving it always 110% of her time & effort to do all she could. She believes in justice & fighting for people who are wronged & people who deserve not only just a fair representation but not being treated like just another number ...or worse just another $ for the lawyers income coffer.....Denise shook to the core my thoughts of lawyers & how very few honest ones I had ever met. SHE IS THE BEST YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO HAVE FIGHTING FOR YOU! Her career is stacked with success stories & cases won for honest people who have or are being taken advantage of & in lawsuits against them. She is worth it! Trust me, I GUARANTEE you will also be thrilled with the outcome. I am a lifetime fan of hers & will remain a referral for her as so many others also are in need of fabulous lawyers whom they can trust. Have a great future Denise! Thanks for everything you ever did for me & the countless hours and time spent. Dominique read more

I found myself in an unfamiliar, hostile situation that I never intended to be in, in life. A situation many more men will find themselves in, unfortunately. Denise and the Erlich Law team were the snipers I needed them to be in a very dirty fight for my daughter. Before I hired Denise and her firm, I'd had another attorney on the case who initially told me what I wanted to hear, but went MIA at a very critical juncture; aside from making other legal blunders. When interviewing Denise, she had a very refreshing pragmatism that you'd expect a seasoned general to have. Instinctually, something told me she was the one. And from the very moment we moved forward it proved to be just that, from beginning till the end. Denise is very sharp; she knows her way in a courtroom, she knows how to handle opposing attorney's, she's an excellent strategist, relates well to a reasonable judge and, most importantly, she has a killer instinct. All critical when it comes to fighting for your rights as a father. Erlich Law was able to get me the 50/50 arrangements I so ardently stood for from day one, equal decision-making power, no child support, and has set us up very well for any future litigation attempts from the opposing party in the future. As long as you do your part - being disciplined, practical, attentive to detail and thoughtful - Erlich Law is more than capable of executing the rest. False order of protection filed? Didn't matter. Countless other lies in pre-trial memo's, day-to-day communications? Didn't matter. Attempting to create a false narrative for the GAL? Didn't matter. In addition to her courtroom acumen, Denise is extremely relatable, patient and above all, available! I've never been here before, so needless to say I had many questions. I was anxious over strategy, over not having seen my daughter, over how the x-factors of the case would play out. Denise was always responsive and attentive. I'd get emails as late as 10 & 11 pm, answering questions (in detail), spelling out game plans, etc. The Erlich Law office team - Tammy, Carleen, and others who I may not be able to name - are all likewise, available, relatable, patient and professional. Not enough good things can be said about my experience. I'm just beyond grateful that I can be a present and available father on a regular basis. My daughter now has her daddy, forever, when her mother and their family wanted the exact opposite. A child is a precious gift, a gift that needs both parents, and thanks to the Erlich legal team, my daughters present and future are now fortified. Long story short, hire Denise! It's worth the money. read more

I cannot adequately express my satisfaction and gratitude for Denise Erlich and the Erlich Law Office, LLC. I found myself in a situation where my entire world was imploding around me and I could not have gotten through it without the steady composure, focus and experience that Denise provided me. She is the most caring and understand attorney that I've ever had experience with. I found myself dealing with a very manipulative ex and her manipulative attorney, but she always kept me focused and did not let me or the case get distracted by all the "noise" that the other side was creating. Without her steady focus and ability to see through all the distractions that were thrown out there I would have absolutely taken the bait and my divorce process would have had a completely different result. Denise was always available and never made me feel that I was not a priority to her. I felt I could text her or talk to her whenever I had a question or concern no matter how minor it was. She listened closely to my concerns, provided her experienced professional advice and reassured me that everything would be okay. She kept me very well informed every step of the way and if I had any questions, she was timely in returning my calls. If I didn't agree or didn't like the way it might turn out in court, she advised me on very good alternatives. She is experienced, tenacious, sharp, ethical and knows family law inside and out. At the same time, she is personable, empathetic and understanding. I could not have made it through the horrible process if it was not for Denise. I am beyond satisfied and thankful I had her on my side. read more

Going through a divorce is extremely difficult. Having an attorney like Denise made the process easier. She is not only extremely professional and knowledgeable but she is caring, compassionate and comforting. When negotiating the parenting agreement, I would ask her if we could incorporate certain terms that were not necessarily standard. She would tell me we could ask for them but the other side would need to agree. She was honest with me but in such a way that helped me feel more confident about the agreement being created in my child's best interest. Denise had prepared me for what would happen in court on the actual day of my divorce. I was much more emotional and nervous that I thought I would be. It was very unexpected. Being prepared for the process and having Denise standing next to me and waiting with me while we waited for the paperwork, made an otherwise unsettling experience bearable. I have had to reach out to Denise after my divorce on several occasions and she always makes herself available to listen and give me advice and counsel. I highly recommend Denise. No one wants to be in the position of going through a divorce but having an attorney like Denise makes all the difference. read more

I am in a very, high conflict post-decree divorce. I have had two previous lawyers who seemed to not understand nor care about the abusive situation in which my children and I live. They, along with the court, seemed to perpetuate the victimization of individuals like myself. To add insult to injury, they are exorbitantly expensive. I am grateful to have finally found Erlich Law Office. From my first contact with Denise, I could tell that I was speaking with a lawyer who understood what my children and I are going through. She not only listened to me, but she heard my needs. I appreciate Denise's expertise and support. I feel like I am no longer spinning my wheels and I am finally being steered in the right direction. Denise is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I feel like she treats me like her own family. I could not have found a more hard-working lawyer. Denise works tirelessly, day and night, to take care of her clients. I do not have to wait for her to get back to me when I have contacted her. When I need her, she is there for me. She responds to me even if it is outside of normal working hours or on the weekends. And above all, Denise is able to do it all for a very reasonable price! read more

Denise was my attorney in my recent divorce proceedings. She was a referral from a trusted friend who had used her for their divorce. Everything that person had said about her I found to be true. She was more than just an attorney, she really seemed to care about me and my particular situation. Starting with my initial consultation with her I found her to be genuine and caring and in no way ever felt rushed by her as I attempted to sort out my feelings. A divorce is a very hard thing to go through but I felt that Denise was always there for me and anytime I made an inquiry she always got back to me in an extremely quick turn around time. Denise was also very thorough in preparing and reviewing documents that went back and forth between her and my ex's attorney. Not only would I not hesitate to use her again, but I have now referred her to a friend who is going through a divorce. Bottom line, she made going though something no one enjoys doing not only tolerable, but also with the feeling that everything that could be done to get the best possible outcome had been done. read more

Denise is a dedicated and caring lawyer. I hired Denise for two post decree cases and she did a fantastic job on both cases. I have a very difficult ex who is very good at hiding financial information. Denise stayed focus and kept my ex's lawyer accountable for producing all the documents that we needed for our case. When they did not produce them, Denise filed a Motion to Compel and made the Judge aware of the issues. In the end, my ex and his lawyer withdrew their Motion. Denise's efforts has saved me thousands of dollars and hours of time in Court. I recommend Denise as a family lawyer who truly does care and who has an excellent communication style. I felt empowered as a client throughout my whole case. Colleen Honquest read more
