He filed paperwork for me to give him part of my settlement. This is the second case that he did me wrong. I broke my back and was paralyzed from the waist down for 9 months.

I hired Jim Gessner to handle a Workman's Compensation case. It took him over 3 years and 8 months…read moreto settle my case. I had very little contact with him during the whole proceedings. I couldn't even get a meeting with him, because I was told he had to make the appointments. That was impossible because he never returned most of my messages I left. When we finally had the hearing 3 years later I found out I was the one that needed to produce the information to get the case resolved. It was the other party that was responsible and they avoided doing their job! It took me 15 min. to do something that could have been done way before the hearing. When I finally went to finalize the settlement they had spelled my name wrong, had the wrong address, and his phone number as my phone number. It all had to be changed which took more time. Wouldn't you think someone in his office would go over paperwork to make sure it is right? This nightmare is finally over! It is hard to have faith in attorneys, at least this one! I would NOT recommend him to anyone!

I hired attorney tempin to represent my son. He asked me what I wanted him to do. I said, keep my…read moreson out of the Illinois department of corrections. I paid him $2000. For a few days later, when I contacted him again, he said that he gave the file to another attorney Kevin. Because he was taking over the law firm from mister bulldog, then I get told. Well. We didn't realize how serious his charges were. But yet they still kept my $2000. Then, the very first time that my son meets with attorney. Kevin, he says, well, what do you want us to do? So my son explained to him about doing his time at the Winnebago County jail next court date and the day that he meets with attorney Kevin. He told my son well if I was you. I'd just plead guilty, get it done. And you don't have to worry about nothing to this day. I explained to them at the beginning of day one keep my son out of the Illinois department of corrections. They did not do this. All I feel like I got screwed out of 2000. They did not do what I asked in the beginning.So if I was you and you had a federal case, I would never hire these people.Because they just s**** y** out of your money, they could have called me and said we can't represent you.The charges are too serious, but no, they went ahead.And took my money gave me a worthless a**.Attorney doesn't even return my cause and when he's finally in the office, I have to deal with the secretary that is a very nice lady.So if anybody gets attorney, kevin, you might as well throw your money in the f****** toilet

I can't thank him enough for the amazing job he did and would recommend his office #1 to anyone who needs help with a DUI, Criminal Defense, Driving on Suspended License, etc. Bottom Line: Jon will fight for your rights and won't stop until you get the best possible outcome for your case.

Smith a few days ago to update him. I don't believe I should over pay attorney and staff to get same information. They charge high enough. I was over charged because of staff errors. I paid them to fill out forms and they were not filled correctly so they had to be redone many times. Then attorney Smith would take it out on me. I would never recommend this attorney because he must of had rough days often and he would take it out on me with his attitude. If I would have had the money for another retainer fee I would have gotten another attorney when I started my case.

Fring her terrified me, but I knew I could not go thorough this experience with her. Even when you are the person seeking the divorce, it is a complicated and highly emotional time. When I retained his counsel, one of the first things Attorney Smith told me was that he felt there were times his clients needed to have their hand held, and other times when they might require a compassionate kick in the butt (not his exact words, but something to that effect). For the nine months he represented me though this trying time of my life, he stayed true to that proclamation. The patience shown by his paralegal (Maria) on days when I was close to a meltdown was also greatly appreciated. I am relieved it is over, and I am beyond grateful that I ended up with the perfect law firm to take me though the process. I don't often write online reviews, but this was absolutely necessary, as finding the right attorney is so important when going through a divorce. I highly recommend Attorney Michael Smith.
