I never received a copy of the hold harmless agreement and only after two emails and a phone call was I allowed to see the document which had been voided out ostensibly for incorrect verbiage but in actuality because it was a highly unethical money grubbing strategy to extract as much money as possible from me. This firm will only look out for their own best interest and not the clients. Buyer beware indeed!

I have known Donald Cosley my entire life. Our mothers were friends. My father, however, documented…read morehis distrust of Don Cosley nearly a decade before he died. In 2016, dad sent me estate-planning documents and explicitly wrote that he wanted me to use an attorney other than Don for his estate administration, and any legal services for that matter, because Don can't be trusted. My father was a financial planner with meticulous attention to detail, both for his clients and for himself, and was the most honest man on earth. Despite that written warning, Cosley Law Office prepared a new Will for my dad in December 2022, just 5 weeks after I had gone over the documents with dad in detail, with the clear understanding that they were final because my father's dementia was worsening. Dad had very recently moved into an assisted living facility, and was under mandatory quarantine for an active COVID infection when the Will was drafted. Dad and I were close and in daily contact during that difficult period, including a text exchange and a 71 minute phone call on the same day. He never told me he had changed his estate plan, I can say with pretty solid certainty that dad didn't even know he'd made the changes. He was removed from the facility where he was quarantined, and dragged to Don's office, sick with COVID. As I understand, these facilities have safeguards in place when a resident is signing important documents, and it is my belief that dad was taken out of the facility to circumvent that oversight. The Will itself contains obvious errors, including misspelling a beneficiary's name and female pronouns appearing in documents for a male testator. For a document that radically changed my father's meticulously planned estate, those errors matter. After my father died and I learned of the changes, I contacted Mr. Cosley immediately and raised serious concerns about my father's condition, potential abuse and exploitation of a person with dementia, the circumstances surrounding the Will, and the use of Cosley Law Office's services. I expected concern and transparency. I did not receive that. Rather, he attacked my character and insisted that my dad and I were estranged when the Will was drafted, despite extensive call logs and text messages showing that we were close and in daily contact. For over a year, I have been asking Don to help me hold accountable the people who abused and exploited my father. Not only has he refused, he continues to attack my character, which is likely how he will respond to this review. This review is not about disappointment over an inheritance. It is about an elderly man with dementia, dependent on others, signing a Will while newly in assisted living and sick with COVID; an attorney with lifelong family ties; a document undoing decades of meticulous planning containing obvious and sloppy errors; and a complete lack of transparency or accountability after serious concerns were raised. I would not trust Cosley Law Office with any estate, or other legal matter. Not only can he not be trusted, he has no shame or remorse for the profound harm his conduct has caused.

I am delighted to share my recent experience working with Jim Hartman in an eviction case. After…read moreseveral months of trying to resolve this directly between landlord and tenant, we had hit a brick wall with tenant refusing to communicate with us. We were extremely frustrated and decided to secure professional help. Guided by excellent reviews on the internet, we found Jim Hartman. What a find that turned out to be. During our first call, Jim clearly described the process and timeline for an eviction action which turned out to be extremely accurate. Once Jim took over the process, it became stress-free for us. Among Jim's many virtues is his superb communication- frequent and clear with impressive availability by phone and email. Based on our experience, Jim merits our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation to anyone needing a real estate lawyer.

My mother was wrongfully accused of an incident that happened in her self licensed daycare whom…read moreshe's run for 26 years. The incident had no evidence and no facts. DCFS was out for blood as that is what they do best. My mother chose to hire this attorney Thomas Hunter, I as her son chose to help my mom by getting a $2000 loan to cover the start up fees for him to take her case. At first there was light and hope, then this attorney Thomas Hunter not only continued to charge my parents thousands of dollars with nothing to show as far as progress or information toward the status of my Mom's case. Excuses and claims that he was at the mercy of how long DCFS would process the case was all my parents kept hearing, weeks if not months would go by and this attorney continued to extort money from my parents. In present conclusion, now this lawyer wants another $5000, my mom can no longer afford to pay. Family has helped and given everything we can to prove her innocence. If you are someone who has had a great experience with this attorney and his firm, you must have deep pockets or any easy case to fight. Money is what keeps this attorney fat and wealthy, not his concern or empathy for his clients. My mom may very well lose her day-care, DCFS will win, and another innocent person will fall victim to how poor our justice system and greedy heartless attorneys like this man are. It's a true fact.....in the beginning it's about helping people.....in the end it's about how much you have to pay to get that help.
