Warning...do not retain Caidi Vanderporten or her father, Evan Mammas. During your consultation…read morethey will present as kind, caring, and ready to fight hard at trial. However, they will do everything to avoid trial. I paid Caidi bout $200 for her free consultation as token of my gratitude, appreciation, and respect for her time. However, after retaining her and her father, and paying them thousands to argue at trial, Caidi did the unimaginable within ~3 weeks. FIRSTLY, against my repeated objection, Caidi converted the trial from in-person to Zoom. SECONDLY, at the beginning of the hearing, she requested a PRIVATE breakout room for her to talk with the judge, opposing counsel, and child representative (all women). The trial NEVER occurred because she lied to the judge that I wanted to cancel the hearing in exchange for an agreement to see my infant son (and only child) TWICE PER MONTH for 45 minutes each "visit." I brought the matter to her father's attention, and he explained that he saw nothing wrong. I even had the transcripts of our conversation for evidence. THIRDLY, she filed an Order of Protection against me in an attempt to prevent me from publicly exposing her. LASTLY, she had the nerve to bill me an additional ~$5,000 after I complained about what she had done to me and my infant son. I hired them to argue, at the IN-PERSON EVIDENTIARY TRIAL, for me and my son's entitled rights to a sufficient amount of WEEKLY parenting time. They took advantage of me while I was a desperate father and full-time graduate student that could not even make ends meet. I've had to use $7000 of my student loans to hire a new attorney to undo the mess they created. I'm heartbroken and hope no one else becomes a victim of her firm.

I had the pleasure of meeting Attorney Benjamin Martinez back in December of 2015. Allow me to…read morestart off by saying EXCELLENT service from start to finish. From personal experience I can tell you if you don't have good lawyer you shouldnt expect miracles. Attorney Martinez exceeded all my expectations and helped me drop my case from DUI to Wreckless Driving. Mr Martinez even provided me with his personal cellphone number, incase I needed to ask questions or needed his immediate attention. Still to this day whenever I text or call I know I can count on him to find an answer/solution to my questions and needs. Everytime I walk out of a meeting with him I feel confident, I feel secure and most of all I feel trusted. I would certainly recommend Attorney Benjamin Martinez to anybody who is struggling or cannot decide which way to go. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to say Thank You for what you have done and continue to do for me to this day!

Quite honestly, there are not enough words powerful to express how much John Ferrentino has helped…read moremy husband and I. He has represented us on multiple cases from criminal cases to real estate closings, etc. He is always there for any questions we have. He has saved us so much time and money over the last 3 years. I can assure anyone that these cases and files would not have turned out as well as they did had we not had John representing us. We have grown and learned so much since having Ferrentino in our lives. We literally would not be where we are today, nor on the track to the wonderful life ahead of us, had we not found John. Thank you for all that you have done and will do for us. You'd be nuts not to go with Ferrentino, Donis & Associates, LLC.

Attorney neglects and misrepresents; do not hire Mr Harrison…read morewas hired with a substantial retainer to help with transferring some properties we own which involved clearing the title from liens and preparing them for sale. He was very keen on us working with his real estate broker for finding a buyer which seemed really strange especially as that person started giving legal advice. He was very enthusiastic to get to work before he got that retainer and then slowly over time he just stopped returning emails and phone calls. We never received any documentation for the research and work he was supposedly doing. Later, his website was removed and his email address became invalid, which is a really bad sign. Since we could not get any reply from him regarding the work that he has done or returning the balance of our retainer, we had no choice but to report him to the ARDC for client neglect and misrepresentation. I do not recommend this attorney

Andrew Harrison guided my spouse and I through purchasing our first home in Chicago. He was…read moreextremely knowledgeable, patient, clear, and helped us over a few hurdles in the process. His knowledge and professionalism guided us through this stressful process and now we are living in our first home together. Andrew stopped to explain everything in the contract and was always available to help with our questions, and was always responsive to email or calls. He even helped us find a new lender when the first one we tried fell through, and we managed to close quickly and smoothly with the new lender. As a bonus, he has a great attitude and is wonderful to work with! I recommend him to all of my friends looking to buy property in the Chicago area.

With their extensive experience in handling the complexities of family law, Paul and his team are organized, communicative, and always thoroughly prepared to represent you and your case. Paul's Expertise and Dedication: Paul is a remarkable attorney. His caring and empathetic nature, combined with his strategic thinking and legal expertise, are evident in his strong track record of success and sound legal counsel. He was dedicated beyond measure to each case he handled on my behalf, demonstrating not only professional obligation but also a deep care for me as a person. Paul arrived at every court date thoroughly prepared and well-versed in the specifics of my case, always ready to defend and advocate for my family. His meticulous attention to detail ensured that no aspect of the case was overlooked, and even the most complex or unique requests were handled with precision and care. Clear Communication and Support: As someone who finds ambiguity difficult to manage, I left every meeting with Paul feeling empowered and informed. He made sure I understood every step of the legal process and took the time to explain even the finer points of the law so that I always knew what to expect. I'm a verbal processor, and Paul was incredibly patient, listening to all my concerns and helping me organize my thoughts--not just for court appearances, but also for stressful interactions with other parties involved in the case. Because of Paul's compassion, thorough preparation, and ability to clearly explain the legal process while validating my emotional experience, the family law court dates became completely stress-free for me.

His pricing was clear, fair, and reflected the incredible value he provided. I knew every dime I invested was going toward someone who genuinely cared about my well-being and success. Throughout my time working with Paul, he continued to earn my trust through his professionalism and dedication. He is worth every single penny of my investment.

Since then, Paul and The Lytle Law Group have continued to guide me through my family law case with the same exceptional care and expertise I wrote about in my Avvo review. Here is a photo of that review and this link to that review to show my continued confidence in Paul's abilities: https://www.avvo.com/attorneys/60515-il-paul-lytle-4516230.html Empathy and Personalization: Paul's sensitivity to my unique challenges was remarkable--he adjusted his approach to ensure I felt safe and heard throughout the entire process.

Lasting Impact: Even after my case concluded, the impact of Paul's service continues to resonate in my life. His support helped me not only legally but personally, as I've gained greater peace of mind. Paul's competence, compassion, and legal expertise have made a lasting positive impact, and I can't recommend him enough.

Their…read moreunsurpassed knowledge, ability, legal prowess, and responsiveness is why they are at the top of the legal ladder in Chicago land. They were always on time to every one of my proceedings, and in some cases, successful in adjudicating my issue in the first 5 minutes of court while hundreds of others waited, saving me untold hours of valuable time. They always took my calls, even late in the evening, and got back to me promptly when in court or unavailable. Overall, you will not find better representation anywhere then with Dom & Pat. In my opinion, you don't need to look any further- the best legal representation is right here.

I only worked with Alexander Sendlak who is absolutely terrible. I hired him in April 2025, since he got my case, he has not done anything other than transfer emails and response between me and the opposing lawyer. I did all the negotiation with apposing party myself the entire time, all he said from the very beginning is that "This is a good deal, sign it". never even made any effort to take a look at my case or even educate me on anything at all. what is worse is that he clearly stated that .3 hours is the minimum for the first task, after that minimum is .1, but guess what he charged me .3 hour on every single email and text messages he sent to me or anyone in the case. if you need a divorce lawyer, trust me that you have to find someone else if you don't want to hire someone just to bill you without doing anything. contact me if you have any question about this lawyer.
