Abandoned in Open Court - Beware of Brad Erdman…read more Review: If you are looking for an attorney to protect your family and your assets, look elsewhere. I retained Bradley Erdman at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC (MKFM Law) for a child custody and financial enforcement case. On March 4, 2026, during an active custody status hearing, I asked him a few standard, clarifying questions about the court process and our strategy for enforcing a major financial judgment. Instead of answering me, Brad became completely dismissive and abruptly withdrew as my attorney right there in open court. He left me completely unrepresented in front of the judge during a critical moment in my custody case. A family law attorney is supposed to be your advocate during highly stressful times. Brad Erdman proved that if you ask questions or expect clear communication, he will cut and run, leaving you entirely exposed. I am now filing a formal grievance with the state disciplinary commission. Protect yourself and find counsel who actually honors their ethical obligations to their clients. #MKFMLaw #DuPageCounty #WheatonIL #FamilyLaw #DivorceAttorney #ChildCustody

Doing unnecessary work and making lots of mistakes just to put more money in the lawyer's pocket. Do not go here unless you have money to waste and you don't care about your divorce.

I contacted a specific lawyer not knowing Yelp would put out a general request…read more An "intake specialist" contacted me. I have three issues to be handled. I spend ten minutes explaining myself. Let's understand that this is emotional and financial. My child is involved. Someone who would want me as a client would have a pen and a pad? After I lay my case out this genius wants me to go through the "intake" process. That's when the call ends. There's a saying; Be smarter than the shovel. These are exactly the people I Do Not Want on My Case Ever. The billing that would come out of this firm = Bankruptcy. This is why people hate Lawyers. Have a Nice Day. Yelp - when can I give Zero Stars? Thanks

Throughout it all, Megan was always attentive to my needs as a client. She was incredibly responsive, promptly answering my emails and phone calls, even while on vacation with her family. When my expectations were unrealistic or if I was overreacting, Megan was direct yet respectful in guiding me back to reality, even if I didn't see it in the moment. In any legal case, compromises are inevitable, but Megan and her team worked tirelessly to secure the most fair and balanced agreement possible. Her goal is always to craft a comprehensive agreement that minimizes the likelihood of needing her services in the future. Even after my case was resolved, Megan has continued to provide support, answering any questions without making me feel like a burden or that I was no longer a priority or her client. I highly recommend Lafata Law for any of your legal needs.

After the one two punch Jeff laid on them, it's over and the burden is off my shoulders.

In my opinion... DO NOT USE THIS FIRM! I think they have zero concern for anything except cashing…read moreyour check! I would find anyone else!!! I feel they are possibly the worst firm I have ever dealt with. All of the members I dealt with seemed overwhelmed with possibly taking on too many clients... which made them (in my opinion) simply fall into a reactive state and not proactively attempt to help my case! It felt like they didn't want to create a strategy, had no concern, no movement forward... NOTHING! My primary lawyer actually called my (twice) on the morning of emergency hearings to strategize the hearing. Literally minutes before entering the court... they felt that was the best time to rush you through trying to have a solid understanding of your position. I FELT THEY NEVER PREPARED FOR ONE HEARING!!!! I paid them $40,000 dollars to settle only one aspect of a divorce. They spent a year depleting the retainer... simply reacting to the other lawyer's action. Not once did they set up a meeting to discuss the potential offer or what my goals were. They rarely responded to or addressed my emails or return my calls. Pathetic. They seem to be way more concerned with accumulating hours... possibly in an attempt to make partner? The hours they accumulated didn't seem to help move my case closer to settlement. I feel they are not a divorce firm to use... and I'm sure you could throw a rock into a bunch of lawyers and find someone more concerned and able to help your case. $40,000 later... they dropped me because I was 4 days late on paying a $2,000 invoice. That's right... 4 days! Keep in mind that visitation was already resolved before approaching this firm. They only needed to provide my soon to be Ex with an offer for alimony and child support. After a year of depleting the retainer... they never once put together even one offer to my Ex. Not one! Less than one year of them doing NOTHING and incurring $40,000... for just my side of this divorce. I feel they have ZERO compassion for their clients and have no sympathy for what married couples are going through in the difficult process of Divorce. Not sure why... but, it felt like THEY WOULDN'T RESPOND TO EMAILS OR CALL ME BACK... EVER I'd say to Skip this firm... at all costs! I feel they are simply one of the worst on the planet... Find anyone else! I believe you could represent yourself and get further along then simply giving them hours as they all work towards partnership. I think they are a pathetic bunch of losers... and they do not deserve to represent anyone! Too bad the court system couldn't find a way to weed out the pathetic lawyers (and firms) and put them out of business. I feel these guys give the 1% of good lawyers a bad name... PS - I'm assuming that any of the positive reviews for this firm are made up or provided by a family member of the firm's employees. PPS - Today I appeared in court to hear their motion to be removed from the case... and my lawyer actually pulled me into the hallway, referenced this review, and threatened to take me to court for defamation of character if I didn't remove. LOL! Your bullying tactics won't work on me!
