Decided to proceed sans lawyer or Pro Se and filed a CC Eviction case back in Oct 2011 due to an obstinate tenant who refused to vacate. Thought it would be a process and learning challenge I could handle filing for a CC Sheriff summons and Daley Center Court date and as well going on my own would save me a bundle in lawyer fees. After about 6 weeks of filing court appearances, sheriff summons and fees the first eviction court date arrived. I believed my dilemma would be over but was I ever wrong, the case took a wild convoluted turn in which it was beyond my capacity to proceed Pro Se there were special circumstances which arose in which I was not aware of nor trained to counter act in addition during a personal after meeting with the defendants attorney he was combative and uncooperative, truly a disrespectful jerk. It was still early in the day when I got home so I began calling attorney's trying to find someone to take over but no office would as I had already started the eviction process and on that basis they refused to take my case. Nonetheless felt there had to be an attorney who wouldn't mind picking up the ball and bam! My persistence paid off with Barry Kreisler's Law offices. Berry cordially accepted my circumstances. We met that evening and in about two months he won my case, by the end of December 2011 the obstinate tenant had vacated. Berry was professional, amiable and genuinely concerned with my case; by the second court date the special circumstances which had arose was resolved, also the defendants attorney had made a 180 degree personality transformation and by the third eviction court date the tenant was ordered to vacate and all was well in the world again thanks to Berry's Kreisler's cordial, knowledgeable and professional expertise in dealing with "Held Over Tenant's" and as well unlikable rude Defendant attorney's. read more

We recently worked with Barry on a real estate matter. Barry handled the case in a very professional and expeditious manner. More importantly, Barry's thorough knowledge and expertise of tenant/landlord laws are immeasurable and critical when having to navigate the CLTO. Barry is very responsive and returned every one of my calls same business day and even returned a few frantic calls on Saturday. More impressive is Barry even answers his own phone. If we had only known and consulted Barry prior to entering the lease agreement, we would have not found ourselves in a very difficult and frustrating situation. I have learned so much from Barry through this process. Barry knows his real estate law and was able to answer every one of my questions immediately, never having to wait days for a law clerk to research the issue. If you find yourself needing assistance with any type of real estate matter, it is imperative to have an attorney who knows Chicago Law...Barry is the best. read more

I hired Mr. Kreisler to help me to purchase over million dollar commercial building in Chicago from Nov 2015 till end of Jan 2016. My deal have a lot of trouble caused by the seller, buy the tenant , buy the lender as well as other dramatic problems. Mr. Kreisler hand it very well. Very professional. Especially during the year end vocation period. Mr. Kreisler tried to help when he was overseas. He is very professional, responsible. My case have so many extra work. Mr Barry Kreisler did not request more fee for his time. Which he could. Because an abnormall case did cause his many extra hours spend. I have a good experience working with him. I will definite will hire him again in my next project and I will also highly recommend all friends to him. He did excellent job for me. Thank YOU Barry!! read more

I used Barry initially on an eviction for one of my tenants a couple of years ago. He explained the process step by step and guided me from begining to end. this was during the time of all the foreclosures and he escalated my case to alleviate my situation. Having enjoyed his help I used him for my both our wills after that and just recently in June had him close on another real estate transaction. what Iike most about Barry is that his fees are very reasonable and he answers my questions in a reasonable amount of time no matter how trivial they maybe. I feel like he is in my corner and that is what you want from your attorney. I would recommend Barry if you are looking for any real estate or legal situation. You won't go wrong with choosing him. read more

No one likes to hire a lawyer but we must say our experience over these last couple of years with Barry Kreisler has been very positive and pleasant. Barry handled everything we literally threw at him from installment sale, repossession and finally donation of property with expertise and effectiveness, always keeping the rights and interest of his client his priority. He successfully maneuvered through Chicago's intricate system seamlessly and professionally while always being an email or phone call away. We felt our situations were handled appropriately with haste and professional knowledge. We are appreciative as well as grateful to Barry and would not hesitate to use him again and refer others to Kreisler Law in the future. read more

I have properties that I manage and sometimes I get a couple of bad apples in some of my places. I didn't know how to get them out fast, so I found Barry. I was amazed at the quickness of the results and didn't think I get the attention I need from lawyers since I'm a small time property manager. Barry communicated the necessary actions I needed to take and helped me evict my tenant that was not paying. Totally satisfied with quality and promptness of the services. He even helped me schedule the sheriff to come by. All in all, I am happy to have Barry on my side. After my first bad apple, I also asked him to help with my other one as well. I am a repeat customer now! read more

I have work with Barry Kreisler on several business situations in the last 7 years. He has always done a great job for us and he is always fair with his fee's. One of the best recommendations I can give for using Kreisler Law comes from the people he faces. One of the gentleman he faced came up to me afterward and told me "he made my lawyer look an idiot.". Another said "I have been doing this for over 25 years and I've never seen anyone do such a good job for his client". I will use Barry again when the time arises. read more

Barry represented me for an eviction case with an extremely troublesome tenant. The tenant attempted every means possible to delay and avoid eviction. Unfortunately the law allowed the tenant to drag out the case much longer than he should have been able to. At all times Barry kept me informed, responded to questions promptly (almost always same day), and always appeared to be on top of things. I was able to be completely "hands-off". Barry took care of everything. read more

I hired Barry for an eviction in May of 2014. Barry was very knowledgeable regarding the law and how to navigate Chicago/Cook County evictions. Within 4 months of hiring Barry, I regained possession of my property. I would recommend Barry to anyone needing legal help regarding evictions and will use his service again in the future if needed. He gave me a realistic timeline for the completion of the process, and he was always available for and responsive to my questions. read more
