Since I don't know anyone that has a living will, it seemed hard to decide who to go with. I consultated with 3 differen lawyers and I got a warm and patient feeling from Alexander. He didn't rush me either during the cosultation or once all the documents were drawn up. He and staff are wonderful...everthting was perfect and explained with detail and patience. Every detail was as we asked during the preparation. They also file a deed for our property. I don't feel obliged to write reviews but only when the experience is excellent. Given the importance of these documents as is the moment, I do not hesitate in recommending Alexander and his wonderful team.

I consulted Erwin Law to draft a will since it was one of those things I've been procrastinating on…read more- who wants to prioritize the creation of a will? Alas, I found Erwin Law to assist me. I reached out via Yelp and we communicated mostly through email. I was given web forms to pay via credit card for the deposit and final transaction. We did most of the will creation over email, I was sent a form to complete then scan, and email back. For the final will creation, I had to visit the office in person and sign, along with Erwin's team. In all, it was a pretty realistic transaction for the creation of a will. Granted my will is not complex, so I cannot speak for someone with a lot of requirements, but Erwin Law did a great job for a basic will.

I recently consulted Alisa & Levin Law for a matter related to condominium ownership and real…read moreestate/condominium law. I'm current part of a poorly managed condo building, although I've been attempting to help turn this around. Essentially, the owners above me had issues with their HVAC system, causing water damage to my ceiling. Since I have little faith in property management companies, I went to Alisa for a second opinion and to understand my rights regarding the IL Condo Association Law. She identified several items where the property management company led our board association in the wrong direction. Alisa also reasoned to why my current property management company provided an incorrect initial assessment regarding the HVAC system/water damage. Alisa communicated promptly using Yelp messaging and accepted payment via Zelle for the consultation fee. Perhaps it's because Alisa is quite busy, but looking into a more robust scheduling system or accounting platform would help manage clients, because there was a decent amount of back and forth to just get the consultation setup. Perhaps due to this situation's rapid escalation, there was some anxiety around the situation due to the response time, but this is why many people reach out to lawyers? Regardless, Alisa was very personable and I highly recommend her for condominium law in Chicago and the state of IL.

I had an excellent experience working with Bradford Miller Law during the purchase of my first home…read morein the U.S. As an immigrant, there were many new aspects of the process and quite a few uncertainties along the way. From start to finish, Bradford, Elizabeth, and Thomas were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. They provided thoughtful guidance throughout the negotiation process and consistently looked out for my best interests. Their responses were always agile, timely, and direct -- true 1:1 communication whenever needed. I never felt left waiting or uncertain. Their attention to detail and strategic advice gave me confidence during what could have otherwise been a stressful experience. I truly felt protected and well represented at every step. Without hesitation, I would work with them again and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of real estate legal counsel. Carlos

I reached out to Aaron when I discovered that my tenants were conducting potentially illegal and…read moredangerous activities in the basement. This somehow seemed to personally offend him. I have worked in the legal field for over a decade and I have never encountered a more rude, sneering and condescending individual. Our first phone conversation was seemingly OK and then it went downhill from there. Afterwards nearly every question I asked was met with disdain. At times he seemed to be on the verge of giving himself an ulcer. He would constantly interrupt and attempt to browbeat. At no point did I feel like this was a lawyer who would have my best interests at heart. My personal favorite moment of our short-lived relationship is when he dramatically sighed and said "Unfortunately, it looks like I will have to do some work for you." I assume no one forced him to be a lawyer. Eventually he decided that we should serve the tenants a termination of lease. He misspelled "dangerous" on the notice. You would think for a 3K retainer he would avoid such sloppy mistakes. He then decided to change his mind at the last minute and that was the final straw. It was my mistake to put up with Aaron's bad behavior but as I was in a time crunch I felt that I had limited options. From the many positives reviews (I assume most of them are real), Aaron does know how to behave like an adult and treat people in a professional and courteous manner. However, if you are one of the people that Aaron decides to show his true and lowly nature to, hang up immediately as this burst hemorrhoid is not worth one second of your time. The only good thing I can say about him is that he gave the retainer back. But I did have to email him for the final installment. Additionally, if you are a landlord seeking representation - call Abdilla & Associates at 630-839-9195.

There were more positive reviews than negative so I thought I'd give this guy a try. Unfortunately…read morethe negative comments ring true. He answered his phone when calling the main number, seemed cordial for the first minute then as soon as he realized I was a new customer he talked as fast as an auctioneer, letting me know he'd text me an email for more appropriate correspondence, mentioning he gets paid for his time, charging a minimum of $200 for 1/2 hour or less. He didn't pause for a second before hanging up, never hearing the details of my case. So yes, has a rude personality as others have said. He never followed up with the email as he said he would. There's so many lawyers to choose from in Chicago. This guy clearly doesn't want any new business. If he's such a "big deal" why doesn't he have an assistant to answer calls?
