Highly Knowledgeable and Easy to Talk To…read more After speaking directly with Attorney Barton Morris, I was genuinely impressed by his expertise and how easy he was to talk to. He took the time to walk me through everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made the process feel much less overwhelming. He was professional, honest, and approachable -- which isn't always easy to find in legal representation. I truly feel confident moving forward with him handling my firearm rights restoration case. Highly recommend based on knowledge, communication, and overall professionalism.

Terrible Experience - A Warning to Others…read more I had an extremely disappointing experience with this law firm and I would not recommend them to anyone. Initially, I was assured by a specific lawyer that he would handle my case personally, only to learn after payment that a different lawyer was assigned without any direct communication from the initial lawyer. This felt dishonest and exploitative.Told me what I wanted to hear solely to take thousands of dollars from me. Communication was abysmal from the start. I received no clear updates, was left in the dark about the status of my case, and had to chase the firm for answers. To make matters worse, my case was tossed over to a third lawyer right before my court hearing. This firm's lack of interest in my case, poor service, and ultimately accusatory remarks led me to terminate their services within a month of hiring them. I sent a formal complaint to the owner and while he apologized and acknowledged the issues highlighted, the response felt dismissive. I read all of the responses to comments by this firm's desire to "make things right," but what they don't say is that apparently there is a time window for this. They don't really want to help, because if they did my direct complaint to the firm would have been addressed. This experience has been incredibly frustrating, and I feel cheated. The fee charged was disproportionate to the work done, based on the billing that was sent to me during this short stint. I hired this firm for specific legal actions to defend my rights, yet they didn't perform those tasks. Apparently, "researching it" is sufficient enough based on what I was told as a response to my complaint. Despite my dissatisfaction, they refused to refund any portion of the fees, which only added to my frustration. I am sharing my story for anyone in my community who's battling for justice, struggling to be heard, and navigating the challenge of spending their limited resources wisely on legal help. Transparency and quality should be priorities--not taking advantage of clients. Businesses should prioritize transparency and quality, enabling customers to invest confidently in those who meet expectations. If unable to deliver, honesty upfront is essential rather than taking money unfairly. I'lI be contacting local news outlets to share my experience and raise awareness.

GO ELSEWHERE!!! This firm DOES NOT CARE. My kids and I were hit in a head on collision. Thankfully,…read morewe all walked away, but many traumas resulted. My attorney changed 4X during the course of my case. Never once was I informed it was happening. I don't think the last one even knew what was going on with me as he didn't speak with me once about my case. I was sent to collections from a dr. they made an appointment for and sent me to before my case even settled. The attorney that cared the most, joined the firm and left in less than a year, which speaks volumes. They will not help you, or keep you informed through the course of your case. And when it settles, you will have to work hard to get the money owed to you. Such a horrible experience during such an awful time. Learn from my mistake and GO ELSEWHERE.

I interviewed several lawyers before meeting Mrs. Schanta. I was referred to her by a friend, and I…read morealways take referrals over just googling someone. Her professionalism mixed with her realist approach to her trade was what won me over. She always called me back. Her office was very communicative. She went to bat for me on more than one occasion, once, she actually told the records devision who was harassing me about paperwork we had already provided them, to never call me again and direct all calls to her office. Amazing. She worked her butt off on my case. She won't BS you, won't string you along, she'll tell you how it is. She maxed out my case and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Unlike other larger firms, she's a trial lawyer. She has no problem rolling the dice in court, and has the backbone to prove it. Most lawyers in her industry are lazy. Take the first deal on the table. I'll tell you, NEVER take the first deal on the table. Honestly she came through on the 25th hour and locked it up like a pro. Don't hesitate to call her. If you got a winnable case, she'll do you solid.

NOT good when they made a mistake. (the firm told myself and the other attorneys representing us…read morethat there was no court date to be held on a certain date). However the court clerk I was told by Lisa Stern of this firm that called her the date of the court date after it was held, that there was a court date...In which I received transcripts from where we of course were slaughtered by the other side. Because of this firms actions in which Lisa Stern told myself and other attorneys in Chicago we did not get a chance to respond in oral argument. At the time when I spoke with Kenneth Silver (potential misspelling) He claimed there was a divorce in our relationship and their firm was only doing a limited appearance. NOT true as the Chicago firm was well aware that Lisa Stern was advising us the entire process of a settlement and how to deal with the other side. Lisa Stern was also advising us that she was placing blame on the Chicago firm. Of course the firm had no problem billing us but when the stuff hit the wall and she advised us there was no court date (yet there was) they wanted out immediately and backtracked. This firm is going to protect themselves and NOT US or potentially the next client. This firm is unethical and I would not suggest hiring them. Deceptive practice at best is my opinion. THANKFULLY the Chicago firm was NOT incompetent and was ethical. Lisa Stern called me several months ago requesting that a local lawsuit attorney (Thomas Blaske) send her firm a letter stating they were going to sue her firm for missing the court date and telling the Chicago firm and myself that there was no court date. I have emails regarding this as well. She then called the Blaske firm on her behalf. She stated this would get her firm off our backs for the payment claimed owed along with the money that our family was rightfully owed ( shortened). This review is based on my opinions (families) and dealings with Kenneth Silver, Lisa Stern and the HertzSchram firm in Bloomfield Hills Michigan. Photos and details will be attached here and on Youtube in the future. Stay tuned.

In 2023, I reached out to the Abood Law Firm on behalf of the biological father of a foster child…read moremy husband and I had cared for most of her life. I was trying to help him gain custody due to prior abuse by the child's biological mother. I came into that first meeting overwhelmed--bringing years of documentation, emotional, and letting them know I would be taking on financial responsibility for their services. Jeff and Ari spent hours with me, carefully reviewing every detail and truly listening. Not long after, they made a decision that I will never forget: they took the case completely pro bono. At the time, I could hardly believe it. Looking back now, knowing the kind of men they are, it makes perfect sense. What meant even more was their level of commitment to the case. Over the course of 18-months, both Jeffrey and Ari personally attended every single court date. They didn't pass us off to junior staff--they showed up, every time. Even now, that still amazes me. Their dedication, compassion, and integrity are unlike anything I've ever experienced from a law firm. They didn't just take on a case--they changed a child's life. They won the case and worked out a situation that was even better than we could have hoped for. Without hesitation, they gave their time, expertise, and resources to help a little girl have a better future. To me, Jeff and Ari are nothing short of heroes and they are incredible attorneys! I can never repay what they did, but I hope they know how deeply grateful I am. I truly consider them like family now. If you are looking for a law firm led by people of integrity, compassion, and incredible dedication--this is it. I cannot recommend the Abood Law Firm highly enough. God bless you, Jeffrey and Ari.

My experience with Abood Law was disappointing overall. The first time I called, Jeff Abood…read moreanswered and was straight-up rude--definitely not what you expect when considering paying $5,000+. After payment, his tone changed, which just proves the saying "money talks." My actual attorney, Michael Anderson, was much better. He was polite, patient, communicative, and tried to understand my situation. I appreciated his professionalism. That said, the PPO case against me was dismissed--but only because I hadn't contacted the petitioner in 1.5 years. It was clear from the start that this case was going nowhere, yet I still wasted my money and time. The judge didn't even give my lawyer the chance to properly defend me against the false allegations. Compared to other firms I've worked with, like Julian J. Poota PLLC and Rabaa & Nachawati PLLC, my overall experience here was far less professional and reassuring. Attorney Anderson deserves credit, but my overall impression of Abood Law was not the best.
