Empathetic, professional legal support…read more Marc Bangser from Conniff & Keleher provided excellent legal support in my divorce - I'm happy to have had him by my side during this difficult time. He was incredibly knowledgeable and empathetic. I appreciate how he simplified the intricacies of the process so I could understand the steps or decisions that needed to be made. He was committed to protecting your interests. Marc took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear, practical advice at every step. He was quick to respond to my questions and made sure I understood all of my options. I highly recommend Marc to anyone looking for expert legal guidance during a divorce. I didn't have much exposure to the firm outside of my work with Marc but he is great representative of the firm.

As a fellow attorney, I've had the need to refer clients to a family law attorney many times over…read morethe years. Conniff & Keleher is, without a doubt, a firm I am completely confident recommending when someone is facing the difficult process of a divorce. Every single person I have sent their way has come back to me with overwhelmingly positive feedback. They consistently praise the firm's combination of sharp legal expertise and genuine compassion. Going through a divorce is one of the most stressful times in a person's life, and the team at Conniff & Keleher has proven time and again that they know how to navigate the complexities with incredible professionalism and a steady, reassuring hand. When I refer someone, I am putting my own reputation on the line, so I do not give referrals lightly.

Quite honestly, there are not enough words powerful to express how much John Ferrentino has helped…read moremy husband and I. He has represented us on multiple cases from criminal cases to real estate closings, etc. He is always there for any questions we have. He has saved us so much time and money over the last 3 years. I can assure anyone that these cases and files would not have turned out as well as they did had we not had John representing us. We have grown and learned so much since having Ferrentino in our lives. We literally would not be where we are today, nor on the track to the wonderful life ahead of us, had we not found John. Thank you for all that you have done and will do for us. You'd be nuts not to go with Ferrentino, Donis & Associates, LLC.

Theresa (at Trinity Family Law) is an amazing person, healer, and collaborative divorce lawyer…read more Don't confuse collaborative divorce with mediation -- they are different animals. 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. I felt as comfortable as could be with a difficult process, divorcing a husband who was in denial and didn't want a divorce at all. Theresa supported me beautifully and led us through the process smoothly.

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.

Tom handled my (now) wife's divorce expertly. She was awarded full custody of her daughter and the…read moreex had to pay maintenance until she remarried (me). Granted my wife did a lot of the investigative work that forced her ex to settle, but that's also to Tom's credit because he certainly wasn't afraid to go to trial and handled her ex's attorney with fearless finesse. Tom was always a no-B.S. person, so don't go there looking for counseling or emotional hand holding. He's there to win your case. He's not rude, but you have to be prepared to understand that you have hired a litigator, not a paper pusher who just writes wills and trusts and does real estate closings. He can do that too, but his strength is in functioning as more than a basic "I can do it cheap" lawyer. I'd recommend him for serious work, you can probably get any mush from google to do the other stuff. Although like I said, it's not beneath him. The guy is a worker.

But can present a $10K bill in eight months. You can try dismissing these people, but they're "appointed" by the court; You have a Vampire on Your Neck - Not hyperbole. Have not seen or spoke with my Daughter in Two Years. I have to pay Ms. Fitzpatrick for her "process". Last time I checked, that's Extortion & Kidnapping.

She is principled, caring, and handles business with a firm fist. She fought for me in my last three cases, and we came out victorious. lt's notjust about winning or losing; it's about what's best for the child. And that's what Peggy delivers. I'm so grateful, thank you.

I found Peggy after googling and reading about 100+ reviews. She was very helpful in making…read moreeverything very straightforward and simple. Many times I wanted to put super specific language in there to address potential fears of mine but 99% of the time, they were items that weren't enforceable, were already covered by law, or were things she encouraged I keep a more open mind about. She spends a ton of time in the courtroom, is familiar with all the Cook County judges, and has decades of experience so I appreciated how black and white she made things. Peggy is very direct and concise. In our initial interview, she cut me off a time or two because I was apparently talking more than listening. At first, I was turned off by it (even though it was true lol) but I immediately saw it as an advantage with opposing counsel and I was 100% correct about that. If you're a person who likes control or is long-winded and isn't used to constructive feedback, consider this an opportunity to work on that because I actually quickly grew out of the experience. She has only 100% of your best interest at heart and I could tell that during the interview. She was also very personable, and I really appreciated how well she could relate to my situation. We had several really good discussions not only as attorney/client but also as single parents; she's further ahead in this process than me and really opened my eyes in a few areas (*cough* giving them mobile phones when they get older *cough*). As a techie, I was looking for more digital redlining, PDF editing etc but we did most everything via email modifications. It ended up being ok and made it super easy for me to search for emails with any changes that were made. She's always available via text but please don't misuse that or else she'd never have time to get things done; she (or her paralegal) is super responsive via email as well. Cost-wise, pay the flat fee upfront and you will save $10K minimum easily and my situation was pretty straightforward and easy in comparison to most people. I had a great experience and outcome in my divorce proceedings and would recommend Peggy to handle things.

Ms. Burns will maintain your innocence even if she knows you are guilty of abuser.
