Luckily our agent connected us with Kim, who was fantastic from the jump. She was reassuring that things would move as smoothly as possible, and if something started to feel off about the deal she'd get us out of it. She was excellent at getting us what we needed and advising us on what we may want to set aside. The contract was completed easily within the required timeframe. When we were at the closing, she explained everything to us clearly and carefully to make sure we understood, and let us ask any questions we had remaining. Her staff was also very responsive and helpful, as well as clear in their instructions. If I buy another property whilst in Illinois, I'll be back to work with her again. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Above and beyond her skills in the collaborative process, she cares deeply for her clients and is good at figuring out any underlying issues of what might be going on.

We followed through but I wish I'd just hired Theresa from the outset- feel free to learn from my experience. She and Trinity succeeded in several key areas where many others did not: communication, explanation , flexibility, billing. Theresa has a paralegal and an assistant and no email or call ever went unanswered. Most responses were same day or within 24 hours. Every time I needed something explained and reexplained they ALWAYS did so with patience and professionalism and would write it down for me. Theresa and Tribity were willing to work with our mediator but still complete the other portions of the divorce, which many attorneys won't do. Trinity has a monthly billing review which is automatically sent and you always see the hourly billing and rates and they take multiple forms of payment. Very transparent. So professional. Believe me, many attorneys and mediators aren't so organized. In my divorce there were many bumps in the road and problems and it drew out for a long time. Theresa and her whole team were very humane to me and were sometimes the only bright spot in the process- they were people to rely on and I hope if you're in the same boat as me an my kids were that you find the same respite in Theresa Kulat and Trinity.

*Disclaimer: Cole Sadkin represented the opposing party in my case. I won my case,…read moreself-represented, but I believe people looking for counsel should have as much information as possible.* *Also, due to the nature of the case, I proceeded as Jane Doe. Trial concluded on March 18, 2026.* Attorneys who appeared on this case through Cole Sadkin: Mason Cole, Michael Krzywicki, James Cook, and Judith Kott Cole Sadkin represented the opposing party in my civil case for sexual assault and battery in Cook County Circuit Court. I was a pro se litigant who, despite the tactics and conduct I experienced throughout litigation, ultimately obtained a six-figure jury verdict in my favor. This review is a warning about the professionalism and litigation conduct I personally observed from this firm. Over the course of litigation, multiple attorneys cycled in and out of the case. The handling of the matter often felt disorganized, hostile, and unnecessarily aggressive - far beyond zealous advocacy. One of the most disturbing moments involved attorney Judith Kott's characterization of my deposition testimony. During my deposition, counsel specifically asked whether I was "going in and out of consciousness" because I was falling asleep. I answered: "No. It is because he was strangling me." Despite that clear testimony, Ms. Kott later argued to the Court that I had testified I was going in and out of consciousness because I had been drinking heavily. She used that mischaracterization to argue that my memory was unreliable due to alcohol consumption. That was not my testimony, and the transcript reflects that in black and white. Ms. Kott also repeatedly insinuated that I must have had "secret counsel" assisting me behind the scenes because, apparently, the idea that a pro se litigant could effectively litigate a case against experienced attorneys was not something she was prepared to accept. The reality is that I did my own work, learned the law, prepared my own filings, and tried my own case myself. As litigation became increasingly hostile, attorney James Cook began including my abuser directly on communications with me. I ultimately had to tell him myself that the practice was inappropriate and eventually felt the need to bring the issue to the Court's attention. The firm also objected to nearly every one of my motions in limine that were ultimately granted by the Court, including motions barring attempts to use prior sexual encounters as evidence of consent to the assault at issue, and motions barring a contributory negligence defense, implying that a victim has some duty to proactively prevent another person from physically or sexually assaulting them. At another point, an attorney from the firm sent a lengthy argumentative email directly to the judge attempting to litigate issues outside proper procedure, prompting the Court to remind counsel that the parties were not to litigate through email communications. I was genuinely astounded by the level of unprofessionalism I experienced from this firm. Even setting aside my concerns about litigation conduct, I would not hire this firm based on competence alone. Again, this is not sour grapes from a losing party. I won. This review exists because people deserve to know what kind of conduct they may encounter when dealing with this firm.

I would add, make sure that you have time to double check things if you hire her. I had to call her repeatedly for information on the case, there were factual errors in the paperwork that she expected me to proofread and catch, there were sometime large gaps in time from when I reached out to when she replied, and she actually gave me incorrect information! For the quality of service she provides one would think that she is a novice lawyer charging cut rate prices. Sadly this is not the case. I felt like I had to shadow manage my case and eventually just got fed up and told her I no longer wanted her services.

Enjoy it, as you are paying dearly for the view. I do not think she provided insight or guidance into the emotional process of creating a settlement. What she did say was pretty canned and obvious. She spent a lot of time on stuff we had no disagreement about. When my husband would dominate the discussion and project anger at me she did nothing to curb this. She appeared to be totally tone deaf and did not pick up on any emotional cues. She often did not respond to emails. $400 an hour is a lot to pay for this, or was it $450? We ended up seeing her three times (one meeting was 2 hours), were charged $5000, at which point my husband withdrew and backed out of two of the three major agreements we had made. Perhaps she had nothing to do with him backing out, but I can't help but think a skilled mediator would guide people towards decisions they felt good about and that would last longer than a month. The saddest part is that by going to her my husband and I thought we would be engaging in the process of the divorce in the best way we could, but instead she made it worse, and charged a lot of money to do so. It kinda sickens me in retrospect.
