My mother passed away 2 1/2 years ago. The attorney who wrote her Trust and Will had retired, but still reachable. He suggested we get in touch with Ed Reda. Boy am I glad we did! From the first day we met until the closing of my mother's estate, he always responded quickly when we reached out with questions or concerns. Little did either of us know how challenging the journey would be. When one of the family members became difficult and demanding, he handled it very calmly and with diplomacy. All the while having a good sense of humor with the rest of us. If you ever need an attorney for family law or settlements, reach out to Ed. He and his assistant, Joy, know what they're doing and are willing to do what it takes to get the estate taken care of from beginning to end smoothly. Thank you! read more

I will never forget attending my first real estate closing. Through the course of exchanging and reviewing documents, my attorney, John Ciprian, noticed a PIN did not match one of the documents, and the seller's attorney dropped his jaw, looked straight at John, and said, you just saved me a lawsuit. He also saved me the hassle of a lawsuit. John also gave me great advice on a family matter. I highly value his representation. He holds the utmost standards of professionalism and ethical behavior, and displays expert knowledge of the law. John was a true advocate in the biggest legal matters of my life. I recommend John with the highest amount of confidence. read more

Happy with the service provided by Rich and his team through our FSBO closing. They made the process easy and straightforward, and I'd be happy to recommend them.

Oddly enough I trusted Yelp for a referral to this Law Office. After seeing the amount of positive reviews and the 5 star rating, I made a call to get set up for my sick husband and I to get our wills done. I was put through to Ed and he immediately made me feel like family. He is kind, a great listener and a thoughtful communicator. We set up a meeting and connected on all things we were interested in having documented and then some. I can't tell you enough how much he made an uncomfortable conversation like a will, trust or power of attorney feel. I am so grateful and will gladly refer anyone I know his direction. Ed--- thank you again and again! read more

I was referred to Rich Magnone by my Realtor Claudio Varo. Mr. Magnone's expertise and farsightedness allowed me to get a judgment of ~$7600 on a security deposit of $2700.

We would definitely use him again. read more

I recently purchased an apartment and my real estate agent recommended I use Rich Magnone as my attorney. Following his guidance, I used Rich and couldn't have been happier. All of Rich's work was done well and it all got taken care of promptly. My old landlord was arguing that I would owe fees to end my lease early, but after consulting Rich he was able to get me off the hook and had an assortment of backup plans should I need a way to break my old lease early. When it came time to close on the apartment, Rich patiently went over all the documents with me and it was very evident that he really knows his stuff. The whole process couldn't have gone smoother. For any future attorney needs, I would happily use him again. read more

I recently moved away from Chicago and had a security deposit dispute with my past landlord. After exhausting all negotiations on my own, I searched for someone to help recover the deposit. Being in a different state, I needed someone that was familiar with Chicago ordinances and had a solid reputation. I contacted Ian Fidler and was sure glad that I did. Ian was very professional and handled all communications with my past landlord. He was extremely easy to work with, he knew that I was busy and did not have time for lengthy conversations with him or my past landlord. Without Ian, I never would have been able to get the settlement that I did on my own. read more
