The Law office of Mitchell S. Sexner was very professional. He guided me through every step of the…read moreway and communicated clear expectations. I was very fortunate for his service through this challenging and stressful situation. I will recommend him to everyone that find themself in need of his services.

In court they had a great relationship with the court personnel and SA's and were able to chat in a no nonsense but very friendly manner to resolve my case with what amounted to a dismissal on a number of crazy counts that the Arlington Heights Police Dept. decided to pour on because the officers were essentially annoyed that I wasn't a criminal with a giant list of warrants after running the (not my) plates of the car I was driving when I stopped to get gas. I'm way more than satisfied and would highly recommend this law office to anyone with a criminal defense or traffic related issue... and I already have to several folks.

You don't like Yelp Jim, then Yelp won't like you. Good day.

Howard was the worst lawyer, and one of the worst professionals I have ever dealt with. I contacted…read morehim to do estate planning and set up some asset protection for my family. He was great at first and recommended a solution, and the moment I paid him everything went to hell. What was supposed to take "a few weeks" took 6 months, was done incorrectly, and I had to contact a second attorney to contact him to provide the services I had paid for. He made errors in our wills, he forgot numerous times about meetings with my family to sign documents (wasting two hours round trip driving), gave possibly 15 promises in email regarding when I would have documents, and every one of them were broken. At some point he stated that my documents had been sent but did not receive tracking information.....they are considered "Lost by the post office" to him so God knows if he actually sent them out and someone has my estate planning, or if he just gave me one more BS excuse. I am currently paying someone else to undo some of the work Howard did and correct it. The new practice stated he used cookie cutter templates that did not even speak to IL laws correctly. He is unorganized and has no customer service skills. I wouldn't recommend him for anything.

Without question, the process has been much better than I ever imagined and more reasonably priced than I anticipated. If you're looking for a divorce or family lawyer, choose Janet Boyle and her associates for your family law solutions because you really will get care attention and compassion during a difficult time. I'm happy to be a client and get the support I need too!

Do not hire this firm. They took advantage of my ex (and me) by playing the game of going around…read moreand around, petition after petition, fake emergency motions, etc. just to run up fees. They do not have your best interests at hand. My ex and I would make progress and Katz & Stefani would disagree just to disagree and drag it out for months and years charging for every minute. They billed my ex $5,500 in one day! Their work is so sloppy that they had my ex believe that I was hiding money...more money than we even made which would be amusing except their sloppy work cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars in excess legal fees let alone the anger and angst it caused everyone. They then fired my ex and sued her for over $70,000. The positive is that my ex found a nice, reasonable, affordable attorney to guide us to the finish line (Kelly Collins of Riewer & Collins). Seriously, run from these people...it's enough to go through a divorce let alone be abused by money hungry attorneys who do not care one iota about you or your family. I would run from this firm and find a reputable firm that will help you to a resolution, not pretend to fight and make things worse just so they can say "I told you so" and run up more fees. Terri Brieske and Ashley Wood were the worst of the bunch. Yes, they represented my ex but I have no ill will because of that - obvious by the fact that I am recommending my ex's second attorney above. This group has a total lack of morals, ethics and their work is sloppy on top of it all. They prey on their clients instead of helping them. Shameful behavior from this group.

My Ex and I had a pretty simple divorce but somehow I was charged $3K in the first month. I asked for them to stop conversing with my ex-wife's attorney without my permission. As soon as I ask them to spend less tim eon my case they withdrew from being my lawyer, with a final mediation appointment only a couple weeks away. If you like throwing away your money use these guys, but if you are looking for a professional group of lawyers who wont take advantage of you during an extremely stressful time in your life, choose another law firm.

He also always answers his phone or will text you if he's busy. Not something I have experienced with other attorneys.

I highly recommend this attorney.

We're dealing with a wicked neighbor in Rogers Park who have ties to the city. For years at this…read moreaddress & a previous one, they've harassed, threatened, vandalized & made life hard on many families. We did our best to avoid them, but when we were threatened 2 days in a row by those evil people. I stood up to defend my family from my property. A 3-4min argument between parties turned into a false OP entered against me. Basically these hideous people went to the domestic courts & falsely claimed I threatened to kill them & wait for them every night with guns & knives!? Judge Sandoval whose signature is all over these OPs doesn't care other than to sign an OP for another date!? After having it dismissed twice & last time with prejudice + having 3 hearings delayed for bogus reasons, we even had witnesses ready to testify & all! Finally, received a new judge! Afterwards I received my final hearing! Mr. Blum made these horrid neighbors look like clowns, they were dispruptive & basically lied about everything except their names& address! Even though my witness was not able to testify due to WiFi issues! OP was finally vacated after almost 2yrs! If I didn't have surveillance & Mr. Blum rip their lies apart & show videos to the courts, I'd be S.O.L. right now with all my permits being revoked because of slanderous neighbors! Will get those transcripts too, our association will be interested in what those people lied about. Through the whole process Mr. Blum was communicative, informative, punctual & knew what to expect with my cases (he handled three at time between same parties) + how it affects my permits & stuff! I know I'll have to call Mr. Blum again because these people won't relent & use their ties to the city to harass, threaten & vandalize! If you have crap to deal with in the courts & you're innocent like me! Do yourself a favor call Mr. Alexander Blum! I mean even the judge said he did a wonderful job! +Get video surveillance ok, video doesn't lie!!

Seriously can't award Alexander enough stars on this review. In July I was blindsided by my new…read moreemployer with a wage garnishment summons from a default judgment from almost 7 years ago that was brought back to life. I had no idea where this debate had come from, so I instantly reached out to lawyers that could give me insight on what my options were. The first one said it was a default judgment and there was nothing I could do to fight it. The second one said he could help me out and then never returned any of my calls. It wasn't till I reached out to an old high school friend that I knew was from a family of lawyers that I found Alexander Blum. My friend referred me and insured me that Alexander would be able to put me on the right path to getting this taken care of. From the second I spoke to Alexander I knew it wasn't his first rodeo. He was vastly more knowledgeable then the previous two lawyers I had spoken with. More importantly he had this humility about him, this sense of empathy that's rarely associated with Lawyers. He literally coached me up the weekend before my court date after reviewing all my paperwork and set me up to succeed without me even hiring him for the case. He even reached out to the plaintiff and found out what I was walking into. The case was continued and was set for a hearing 30 days later. Something in my gut just told me that Alexander was the person to help me out of this situation so I hired him shortly after. From there he systematically and flawlessly found every hole in the plaintiffs case. I thought for sure I'd have to at least settle for a discounted amount in order to resolve this before the next court date. However, Alexander insisted I pay nothing due to his research of the case. I took a leap of faith and followed Alexander lead. Today I'm happy to say that my default judgment was vacated and dismissed. I'm so grateful for Alexander services and even more grateful for our lives crosses paths; for not just getting an amazing lawyer for life, but also a friend.
