Attorney Ruzich knows that just because a client wants to embark on a certain course of action, it doesn't necessarily mean that said course is what's best for the client.

He did not charge the person and in the long run everything worked out. A good lawyer. An honest guy.

This law firm , specifically Ethan Chouinard was a COMPLETE waste of time, and money! His legal…read moreknowledge is miniscule and a complete embarrassment. When the "plaintiff" (Mr. Chouinard) needs to ask opposing counsel for help, it forces the plaintiffs (us in this case) to ask how did he EVER GRADUATE AND PASS THE BAR? He's a nice enough person, but as far as attorney, he's entirely TOO GREEN! We originally hired Mr. Meents, but he stuck us with this new attorney. (Apparently Mr. Meents wasn't interested honoring his contact and word.) We lost the case! Mr. Chouinard just didn't have the knowledge, and backbone to even get a break even. Bottom line, stay away from this shady firm!!!

From day 1, Paul demonstrated exceptional expertise, professionalism, and strategic thinking. He guided me through a difficult and emotionally draining process with clear advice, strong representation, and unwavering support. His knowledge of family law and the court system gave me confidence every step of the way. What truly sets Paul apart is how much he cares about his clients. He listens, answers questions, and ensures you understand your options. He will also tell you when to let something go when the juice won't be worth the squeeze. I never felt like just another case number-he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me and my family. His staff was equally outstanding: responsive, compassionate, organized, and professional. Jeannie, Lexi and Christy are great at what they do. I couldn't be more thankful for them. I also appreciated Paul's fair and transparent billing practices. His services were worth every penny, and the peace of mind he provided was invaluable. If you're looking for a divorce attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, trustworthy, and highly effective, look no further. Hiring Paul the 1st best decision I made at the start of my new life. If dedication, expertise, fairness, and unwavering support are what you need in a divorce attorney, then you "Better Call Paul!"

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 just can't thank her enough and am so glad I went with Urban and Burt total class act all the way around . You won't be sorry

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.
