Her representation of our interests saved us hundreds of dollars on both of our transactions. We had used other attorneys before but none have compared to her. She and her office staff were always very prompt in returning our calls and emails. We cannot recommend her enough.

Very incompetent and does not have your best interest in mind…read more Hired her to enforce a property size on purchase contract as there was an ability for the seller to do so yet the seller wanted to reduce the property size. She had a hard time understanding the issue even with pictures and plot maps. When I was told by the seller that he was going the make an offer to me that was larger yet still under what the contract state I told her the next day. Instead of quickly calling the other attorney and informing him that it was not going to work, she waited for a for a formal offer, which took a month. Then told me that it was a good offer. Had to constantly motivate her to try enforce the contract with my best interest at stake. From the beginning when I called the sellers attorney out for lying to her she defended him saying that he has never lied to her in 25 years (should have fired her at this time as all attorneys lie at some point) and seemed to want to go with his best interest. She never informed me of delays that were caused by the seller's attorney. This really made me question who she was working for. Her lack of communication was very unprofessional. This communication is the backbone of trust. I encountered many unreturned phone calls and incomplete updates, in which I received the information from the bank. She sent important documents via email, which required my approval or changes, without a follow up to see if I had received them. Day before the documents were to go to the seller's attorney I am informed about it and nothing I had specifically requested in a prior conversation with her were on the document. That in itself showed me it was not reviewed by her or that my interest was relevant. I let her go before the closing due to no trust and everything she was doing seemed to make things take even longer. I wrote this review in hopes that no one else has to go through what I went through with her.

Hired the firm to handle a divorce when our lawyer left mid-case to accept another position. It…read morewas the worst choice we could have made. If you want representation who will be prepared for court, look elsewhere. If you want representation who bills clearly and monthly, look elsewhere. If you want representation that actually does the work they promise to do, look elsewhere. We had to find other representation because they just stopped answering questions. The opposing attorney told our NEW representation that the OBrien-Lawson just went "off the grid" for over 3 weeks--they also stopped responding to opposing attorney. I sent the office some emails proving their billing errors ( emails to me stating that they sent a specific letter to opposing counsel, which they didn't), they responded by saying that I emailed "dribble" to their office. In fact, it was not dribble, it was evidence that showed a letter that they charged me for was not even mailed. Divorce is very stressful. This firm will ADD stress to your case, and I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. We are now on our 3rd attorney, due to no fault of ours. (First one accepted a new position, then Lawson OBrien, and now we are with new representation). Our first and 3rd attorneys were/are fabulous, so good representation DOES exist in the Kankakee area, you just won't find it here.
