Very rarely write reviews unless they're positive, but based on the experience I had with…read moreO'Flaherty, felt it was important for others as they choose a law firm. Hired O'Flaherty and paid a flat fee for their firm to complete ten (10) quick claim deeds to transfer properties from individual ownership into our family trust. Normally this process would take a few weeks, and the majority of time is waiting on the County registrar to process the deeds. Started this process in October and finally completing the transfer seven (7) months later. A short list of O'Flaherty's performance - Incorrectly filled out all ten (10) quick claim deeds - incorrectly inputted multiple parcel ID's, after I sent all of them in the correct format - incorrectly submitted eRETR transfer requests leading to multiple rejections by the County Registrar - Incorrectly tried to charge me a transfer fee of 3% on our total property valuation ( over $75k), without having any idea that transferring property into a trust does not incur charges in WI (I was forced to spend hours calling into the County to confirm the transfer fee exemption process) - was scolded by their lawyers stating that they were only contracted to complete the quick claim deeds, and had no responsibility to submit any documentation for transferring deeds, when this is the only reason I called a law firm in the first place Never once in 7 months followed up on the status, or lackthereof, of the deed transfer process; every update was predicated on my countless emails and phone calls - leaving the names of specific POC's off this review as this is indicative of the entire firm and not one person in particular

From the start of the matter to its conclusion, she gave me exactly the representation I needed. What gives Denise a competitive advantage is her complete honesty and transparency with all parties.

My divorce was recently finalized. I started out with another lawyer, but switched to Denise…read moreshortly after. Boy, am I glad I did! Going through my divorce was like walking through hell, but luckily I had Denise as my guide. She was right there with me every step of the way making sure I avoided the dangers and pitfalls. I can't speak highly enough of Denise! She's a hardworking attorney that's always available. There were times when I emailed her late at night, not expecting a response until the next day, but I received a reply within minutes. I always feel like I'm her priority because she listens and answers all my questions. I never feel like she's rushing me or trying to get me off the call. I never feel like I'm just another billable account. Denise is an expert in negotiations. She's flexible when she needs to be and absolutely unwavering when she has to be. She's honest and doesn't sugarcoat things. She sets realistic expectations which helps guide my decision-making process. In a divorce, the little details makes a huge difference, and when the PA and MSA came around, her attention to details helped me navigate the intricacies of the terms and their implications. My case also involved a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) for my children, and Denise's experience as a GAL was invaluable to me in dealing with that situation. With her experience, she guided me in how to present my case to the GAL for a positive outcome. I believe that Denise is not only an great lawyer, but she is also a compassionate human being. She was there for me during the most difficult time in my life and I appreciate her very much! Highly highly recommended!!!

BEST FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY!! I'm not a trustworthy person and…read moreI especially did not think I could trust a lawyer even one working for me but I was proven wrong. We had gone to multiple places over the years and we showed all our paperwork and told our story and not ONE of them actually looked me in the eye and showed any sense of, well a soul, all they would say to me is this is our retainer, this is how much we charge, get it give it to me sign here and we'll be in touch. Yeah so I knew that once I got all this money together the retainer would be gone in two seconds and they would have drawn up one thing and made a few calls. They didn't even tell me a plan of action or explain what the process they were thinking of. They had a fake smile, offered coffee or water and made me feel like "were pretty much done after you sign here." When I didn't want a drink, I wanted some sense of footing that what I wanted to be done would be handled. So, a friend who had used Fran white before suggested I give her a try. She was the first lawyer that looked me IN THE EYE and said this is how much, this is what we want to happen, this is what could happen. We will take it one step at a time. And ever since I signed with her we have gotten nothing but DEVOTION, decency, and skill. She knows her stuff. She knows all the courthouses Cook county, DuPage county, etc. She is always calm because when you're that good at what you do you can be that calm. The process is tough because family law is basically figuring out how to put your family together so it's best for your children and everyone. One shouldn't have to worry about your lawyer using your resources. I recommend the law offices of white and white. I wish whomever is reading this a blessed journey. You will get there it just takes time

We cannot thank Mark enough for his exceptional work on our son's case--one that had been…read moremishandled for over five years by two prior attorneys. Finding Mark was truly a turning point and a godsend. Referred to us over Labor Day weekend, Mark met with us almost immediately, already fully versed in the details of our case and familiar with its history. From the outset, he was transparent, strategic, and methodical about how he would approach our situation. Mark is highly skilled, deeply knowledgeable, and remarkably effective in navigating the legal system. He combines professionalism with genuine compassion, treating his clients with respect and without judgment. His passion for justice is evident in everything he does, and he advocates with both precision and determination to achieve the best possible outcome. Within days of taking over our son's case, Mark developed a focused legal strategy, prepared critical documents, met extensively with our son, and brought long-overdue momentum to the case. His insight into the prosecution's approach allowed him to counter their arguments with sharp, well-executed legal tactics. What two other attorneys failed to accomplish in five years, Mark resolved in a matter of two months. What sets Mark apart is his integrity--he is driven not by profit, but by doing what is right. Throughout an incredibly stressful process, he remained steady, reassuring, and confident, giving us a sense of trust and hope we had long lost. We knew our case was in the hands of a true expert. Mark's dedication, empathy, and unwavering commitment to his clients make him an outstanding attorney and a trustworthy and honorable man. His efforts quite literally changed our son's future--from facing 28 years in prison for something he did not do, to receiving probation. We wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a passionate, competent, and results-driven attorney. God Bless you Mark and thank you for all you did for us. -- SJ, DJ, MJ

I must say, in my opinion, this firm wreaks of incompetence and sadly enough it starts from their…read morepartners. I've also noticed that their star incompetent attorney is no longer with the firm. I sincerely hope, even though it's highly unlikely, that change happens for any new client looking to enter in an engagement. For months, the highly incompetent attorney provided me with borderline ethically unsound advice. Luckily a mediator (god bless his/her soul) provided me a nudge and had me push back at unsound counsel provided by this attorney. After finally seeing the light, I engaged a partner and it was then I realized that the incompetence permeated outside of this attorney to his/her managers. Please don't fall prey to the active social media and seemingly client centric introductory meeting. Run! Stay far away from this firm!

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.

They were always on time to every one of my proceedings, and in some cases, successful in adjudicating my issue in the first 5 minutes of court while hundreds of others waited, saving me untold hours of valuable time. They always took my calls, even late in the evening, and got back to me promptly when in court or unavailable. Overall, you will not find better representation anywhere then with Dom & Pat. In my opinion, you don't need to look any further- the best legal representation is right here.

I hired him in April 2025, since he got my case, he has not done anything other than transfer emails and response between me and the opposing lawyer. I did all the negotiation with apposing party myself the entire time, all he said from the very beginning is that "This is a good deal, sign it". never even made any effort to take a look at my case or even educate me on anything at all. what is worse is that he clearly stated that .3 hours is the minimum for the first task, after that minimum is .1, but guess what he charged me .3 hour on every single email and text messages he sent to me or anyone in the case. if you need a divorce lawyer, trust me that you have to find someone else if you don't want to hire someone just to bill you without doing anything. contact me if you have any question about this lawyer.
