In January of this year, a nuisance lawsuit filed by pro se plaintiffs landed on my door. I was…read morestunned and distraught. I cannot give details, but their claims against me were outrageous. I had also just recently gotten engaged and wanted to be spending my spare time with my fiancé planning my wedding, not fending off a nuisance suit.  I called Peter Lubin and he picked up the phone even though it was after 9 PM on a Friday night. Peter and his partner, Andrew Murphy, handled my case expertly. They caught the plaintiffs in numerous mistakes and adroitly used those mistakes to my advantage. I'm an intelligent person, I love to argue, and I've often been told that I missed my true calling as an attorney, but I can't even begin to say how glad I was that I called DLA and didn't try to handle my case myself. I (like the plaintiffs) would have made so many mistakes had I gone pro se.  Peter and Andrew got the case against me dismissed with prejudice just 2.5 months after I was served, leaving me free to plan my wedding in peace. That's what you call "results."

I had never been in a situation where I needed to hire a lawyer before, but I knew the law was on…read moremy side and that I was having a serious issue with a former employer. I'd done my own initial research and felt confident I had a case, and a friend in my industry, who had gone through something similar, referred me to Laura. She spoke so highly of Laura and her team that I decided to reach out. From my very first call, I knew I had found the right person. Laura listened intently, asked smart and strategic questions, and quickly framed what the strongest case would look like to recover the funds that were legally owed to me. While the process itself was stressful, I was genuinely shocked by how seamless Laura and her team made everything feel - and how fast they moved. I expected the situation to drag on for months, but they resolved it in a matter of weeks. I hope I'm never in a position where I need an employment lawyer again, but if you're reading this feeling confused, frustrated, or unsure about whether to hire one, call Laura and her team. You will not regret it.

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.

Dear Audience since I'm being pursued by Howvel & Associates I'm sharing my nightmarish experience…read moreas a previous tenant of Beal Properties. Beal uses this legal debt collection group to come after tenants for so called fines if you leave furniture behind in your unit. I had an oral agreement with Beal properties that I would be paying $1500 to satisfy my debt and that I would not be renewing my lease because of their insane rent price hikes and price gauging tactics. I'm currently suffering from migraines and nausea due to black mold exposure from apt. 408 at 635 W Barry Avenue in Lakeview. I'm physically ill so I'm posting this review to clear my name and warn others. I made the mistake of taking over a sublease at 635 W. Barry apartment 408 17 months ago. Both my pets and I were exposed to black mold and flooding that took place at the property. I decided against renewing my lease and paid Beal Properties $1500 and had an oral agreement that that would suffice. The previous tenant left his belongings behind and there was no elevator in my building so I was unable to find anyway to lug a mattress etc down a very dangerous fire escape. Beal hired these debt collectors to come after me because I left behind pieces that I could not physically carry since I'd have to climb six flights of stairs. This particular company represents Beal properties and if you do your research for yourself you will see the numerous building code violations that Beal properties commits which include toxic black mold, rats and other vermin not to mention flooding in the laundry room. These people just sent me threats stating I owe them money and they will soon be reporting me to all the credit bureaus so I will soon do what I need to do and countersue since my health has been affected by the longterm affects of black mold exposure. Protect yourself from predators who defend slumlords. Pamela Bailey has been calling me non stop emailing me non stop but what she fails to realize is Beal properties who she is representing is rated very low on yelp and Google and there's even a website for ex Tenants to file complaints. My friend who helped me move suffers from asthma and he was rushed into the ER the next day because he's very sensitive to mold. After the doctors conducted tests on him they found evidence that he was exposed to black mold. Pamela Bailey doesn't mind representing predators like Beal properties. Everything I'm sharing here is 100% true down to the oral agreement I shared with Beal properties. I will not allow this company to harm my credit score without fighting back. Black mold is an extremely dangerous toxin to have in your apartment building and exposure to black mold leads to organ failure and cancer.
