First, Neda Nozari Esq. does NOT represent me in any current or past court case. However, I reached…read moreout to her regarding some condominium rights questions and discrimination/HUD questions. The HUD answers she gave (although she confirmed she doesn't do fair housing work in her private practice now) were so on point that I wanted to leave this review 45% for that. Second, talk about a small world. After finding out one particular result of a conversation we had about HUD was so very, very accurate, I glanced at her Instagram page and saw a familiar face. I thought I was imagining it at first. It turned out that she'd taken a photo with my Realtor who was responsible for me buying the condo I did. Talk about Chicago being so big and so small at the same time. Considering what I know of the months-long work with my Realtor, these two networking together makes absolute sense. Third, without me asking her to, she made an introduction to an incredibly kind and informative attorney (who I will rate later) who could help me with HOA/COA needs. If I hadn't talked to her, I'm fairly certain it may have taken me much longer to find this other attorney because (for whatever reason) he wasn't on my original search list. So I can't thank her enough.

The Nozari legal team was very organized, and more importantly, kept me on track through the whole process. I highly recommend their service.

I recently consulted Alisa & Levin Law for a matter related to condominium ownership and real…read moreestate/condominium law. I'm current part of a poorly managed condo building, although I've been attempting to help turn this around. Essentially, the owners above me had issues with their HVAC system, causing water damage to my ceiling. Since I have little faith in property management companies, I went to Alisa for a second opinion and to understand my rights regarding the IL Condo Association Law. She identified several items where the property management company led our board association in the wrong direction. Alisa also reasoned to why my current property management company provided an incorrect initial assessment regarding the HVAC system/water damage. Alisa communicated promptly using Yelp messaging and accepted payment via Zelle for the consultation fee. Perhaps it's because Alisa is quite busy, but looking into a more robust scheduling system or accounting platform would help manage clients, because there was a decent amount of back and forth to just get the consultation setup. Perhaps due to this situation's rapid escalation, there was some anxiety around the situation due to the response time, but this is why many people reach out to lawyers? Regardless, Alisa was very personable and I highly recommend her for condominium law in Chicago and the state of IL.

I consulted with Sabreena about an employment discrimination matter, and I really appreciated her…read morestraightforward, honest approach. She took a full hour to meet with me, asked thoughtful questions, and explained my options clearly. What I valued most was her honesty - she didn't tell me what I wanted to hear, but rather what I needed to hear about the strategic timing and approach for my situation. She provided clear guidance about pursuing internal resolution first and helped me understand the implications of involving legal counsel at different stages of a dispute. Rather than pushing me to retain her services when it didn't make strategic sense at that stage, she was refreshingly honest about the realities of settlement negotiations in public employment sectors and how the nature of my case at that time would affect potential outcomes. That kind of integrity and client-focused advice is rare. Her advice was invaluable in helping me think through my options and approach my situation more strategically. She clearly has significant expertise in employment law and understands the dynamics of workplace disputes. If you're looking for an attorney who will be straight with you about your case, explain complex legal issues in accessible terms, and provide thoughtful strategic guidance even when it means turning down immediate business, I'd recommend consulting with Sabreena.

Please Read HONEST Review:…read more Elizabeth gave me a call back, and her pricing was very affordable I will give her that. But her attitude was of upmost disgust. Honestly, no other way to describe her.... disgust. I was inquiring about a specific deed and she was pressuring me to do a quit claim. I mentioned to her more then once that this is not the type of deed I was looking into. Her entire tone was rude and belittling. She then decided to LIE and tell me Chicago doesn't do gift deeds. It wasn't until I mentioned that I spoke to multiple attorneys in Chicago that mentioned they do gift deeds, that she finally admitted that HER OFFICE only does quit claim deeds. Not only this but talking to her felt like I was a kid being yelled at by my parent. Her tone was unnaturally loud, unsettling, and rattled my energy. I even told her that I am just a possible customer asking questions (like anyone would) and if she could just calm her tone down with me.... She Did Not. She has a very loud pitch voice as if she's desperate for validation and business. I was immediately turned off by her entitled, I know it all, you know nothing, rudeness. Pros: cost efficient Cons: 1. rattling unsettling voice I mean gave me super anxiety to the point where I had to hang up (I'm not going to sit on the phone and take verbal abuse when I remained calm and kind) 2. Dishonest 3. Loud and definitely not a people person 4. Not a good listener 5. Very stressed out impatient energy. If she gave me this vibe over the phone imagine in person. It is clear why she only has 2 reviews. Even her photo looks very stressed as if she's forcing herself to smile. Bad Bad Vibe Steer clear of this one.

Update since my review three years ago: Still 5 stars…read more Nancy and Kristen have handled two real estate sales and several will updates since my 2015 review. Everything has been done professionally and right. Do they always return my calls or answer immediately? No, but guess what... I think they have other clients and other closings too!

I partly blame myself for not researching her background and ability to complete a real estate transaction. She is not extremely experienced at all. Nancy extended the Attorney Inspection period without our verbal or written consent. Which resulted in us making changes to our house to please the "buyer" only for us to find out they could still back out. Which they did. After they backed out, we expected earnest $... Isn't that what it's for? We never would have extended that period. We were shocked by her lack of communication. After the entire miscommunication, Nancy apologized profusely and offered multiple times to waive her attorney fee. We accepted the deal and moved forward. Today we closed on our house and she took her fee out of our profits. Not surprised but disappointed. Why tell someone you will waive the fee and then go back on your word? Nancy's answer to charging us (via her assistant because she will not ever email or call you herself).... "It was more work then I expected" Like I said... RUN!!!!!!

Weiss Kunz and Oliver may be a fresh team, but Maxine Wiess Kunz is an amazing attorney…read more Maxine has 6 excellent qualities: 1. She worked with a big legal firm for years, knows all the judges, lawyers, and has garnered respect and is well-networked with other lawyers and Judges. She is up-and-coming and very well networked and liked. 2. She can skillfully present and argue a case. 3. She listens--to me, the Judge, the other lawyers. Why court is in session she holds the floor because she hears everything and responds accordingly. 4. She cares and is client-oriented--she is attentive to my priorities and my budget, and acts with these two things in mind. She was both my second lawyer on a protracted divorce settlement, and, later, she was my post-decree lawyer. The difference I have in priorities is reflected the way she represents me--highly appropriate to each situation. 5. She and Oliver are compassionate. They are not a standard legal firm. They are people, who care, and have chosen to forge a path that is both skilled and ethical. 6. Overall, the firm is CHILD-centered as well as YOU centered. Both as lawyer and GAL, Weiss Kunz reduces the confusion created by the civil court system and keeps you focused on the overall, healthy family picture. I am so happy Weiss Kunz and Oliver exists. She has left the big league for reason #4--she realized the higher she rose, the less able she was to work with her client's priorities and budgets. Now she and Oliver can focus on listening and hearing their clients better--with a wealth of knowledge, experience, and caring put forth in their partnership. Weiss Kunz volunteers for the Lilac Tree, is a GAL, and an actual caring person, even though she's also a razor sharp, highly skilled lawyer. This is a firm to consult!

Did not know that, and it was not disclosed until when the time came to show up in court, and she did not, someone else filled in for her, because of Covid. This was the very early stages of the pandemic and the virtual hearings were not set up yet. The lawyer that showed up, went in to the judges chambers with my ex-wife's lawyer, and a deal was made. What?????????? A bad deal for me. Then, Kasia went on maternity leave. She was replaced with someone who yelled at me on the phone. I was billed for phone calls made to my ex-wife's lawyer. I feel that if I am billed for an official phone call, I should be part of the discussion. Just like the documents, no documents should be sent to the other lawyer without the person's signature or approval. Which they did ask for my approval for every document. I ended up with about 30K in lawyer fees, all the marital debt, and child support, well higher than what the statutory would be. The law clearly states that the ordinary medical expenses should be covered by the child support. My lawyer argued with me that it does not. 750 IL CS 5/505 clearly states: A portion of the basic child support obligation is intended to cover basic ordinary out-of-pocket medical expenses. I am left with paying 60% of co-pays and 100% of medical insurance. I am being sincere, and not saying this out of spite, but I really felt like my lawyer did not have my best interest at heart. None of the three + Maxine who were involved in my case. Stay away at all costs from this place.
