I reached out to Aaron when I discovered that my tenants were conducting potentially illegal and…read moredangerous activities in the basement. This somehow seemed to personally offend him. I have worked in the legal field for over a decade and I have never encountered a more rude, sneering and condescending individual. Our first phone conversation was seemingly OK and then it went downhill from there. Afterwards nearly every question I asked was met with disdain. At times he seemed to be on the verge of giving himself an ulcer. He would constantly interrupt and attempt to browbeat. At no point did I feel like this was a lawyer who would have my best interests at heart. My personal favorite moment of our short-lived relationship is when he dramatically sighed and said "Unfortunately, it looks like I will have to do some work for you." I assume no one forced him to be a lawyer. Eventually he decided that we should serve the tenants a termination of lease. He misspelled "dangerous" on the notice. You would think for a 3K retainer he would avoid such sloppy mistakes. He then decided to change his mind at the last minute and that was the final straw. It was my mistake to put up with Aaron's bad behavior but as I was in a time crunch I felt that I had limited options. From the many positives reviews (I assume most of them are real), Aaron does know how to behave like an adult and treat people in a professional and courteous manner. However, if you are one of the people that Aaron decides to show his true and lowly nature to, hang up immediately as this burst hemorrhoid is not worth one second of your time. The only good thing I can say about him is that he gave the retainer back. But I did have to email him for the final installment. Additionally, if you are a landlord seeking representation - call Abdilla & Associates at 630-839-9195.

There were more positive reviews than negative so I thought I'd give this guy a try. Unfortunately…read morethe negative comments ring true. He answered his phone when calling the main number, seemed cordial for the first minute then as soon as he realized I was a new customer he talked as fast as an auctioneer, letting me know he'd text me an email for more appropriate correspondence, mentioning he gets paid for his time, charging a minimum of $200 for 1/2 hour or less. He didn't pause for a second before hanging up, never hearing the details of my case. So yes, has a rude personality as others have said. He never followed up with the email as he said he would. There's so many lawyers to choose from in Chicago. This guy clearly doesn't want any new business. If he's such a "big deal" why doesn't he have an assistant to answer calls?

AMAZING! Cannot recommend highly enough. I worked with Michael and he was highly knowledgeable,…read moreprofessional, communicative, and friendly throughout the entire process. I was previously dismissed by many other attorneys and it was such a frustrating process, but Michael was receptive/ understanding and very efficient. His attention to detail allowed for me to exit my lease early without issue (something many other attorneys told me was not an option without paying heavy fees). His rate was very reasonable as well and certainly worthwhile. Michael answered all of my questions in a thorough and timely manner and while I hope I do not have any other apartment/rental concerns going forward, it is such a relief to have a reliable contact just in case.

SERIOUS WARNING -- READ BEFORE HIRING…read more We paid this attorney (Vlad Chirika)upfront and trusted him to handle my legal matter. Instead, I experienced close to two years of inaction, persistent non-communication, and no meaningful legal work performed. Phone calls, messages, and follow-ups were ignored for extended periods. There was no transparency, no progress, and no accountability. When I finally demanded a refund of unearned fees, that request was flatly refused. At that point, I had no choice but to escalate the matter through formal professional complaint channels. That step was taken because fees were retained without services being delivered, not because of a case outcome, but because of non-performance. Vlad Chirica has also done the same to two other clients that we are aware of that are also pursuing formal complaints. This review exists solely to warn other consumers. If you are considering hiring this attorney, understand the risk: paying in advance does not guarantee work will be done, communication will occur, or funds will be returned if nothing happens. Protect yourself, get everything in writing, and think carefully before proceeding.

I didnt just want to get the renter but I wanted to get paid! i wanted all of the back rent no matter what. I was even willing to spend all of the profit to make sure the burden of payment would need to be fulfilled by the renter. the renter had no money so my wishes could not be fulfilled...but Vlad found the answer, a grant from the Stare of Illinois to subsidize my renters monthly payment. Vlad walked both me and the renter through the entire grant application process. In the end I receive a check for 6 months back rent and 3 months forward rent, $12,150...and the renter was even happy that they got to remain in the unit. A happy ending for everyone!

He is inept, incompetent and I have filed a grievance against him with the Illinois Bar Association and with the AG's office. The case he filed on my behalf was riddled with grammatical errors, missed statute of limitations and sued the wrong parties. The opposing counsels absolutely destroyed him that the case was thrown out, and I must come up with the funds to get a new attorney. All he did was was use AI to generate a case. Not once did he fully understand the basis of my case. My case had nothing to do with a parking spot and he filed it as a complaint. I have sent him a formal demand letter to refund the thousands of dollar I paid as a retainer and he only offered $500. During my case, I spoke to more than three para legals who all left his office within weeks. When I finally visited his office to meet face-to-face, he had no air-condition or heat because he couldn't pay his bills, the entire office was filthy and disgusting. He is currently uninsured. Alll he talked about was his Russian Bride who left him. When I visited his office, he spent about 5 minutes updating my complaints after pointing out all the documents and evidence I sent to him that were missing in his filing. Berton Ring is a fraudulent Lawyer and I will do everything in my power to get him disbarred. Do not hire him. He is a fraud. He shouldn't even be a para legal at a law firm.
