In January of this year, a nuisance lawsuit filed by pro se plaintiffs landed on my door. I was…read morestunned and distraught. I cannot give details, but their claims against me were outrageous. I had also just recently gotten engaged and wanted to be spending my spare time with my fiancé planning my wedding, not fending off a nuisance suit.  I called Peter Lubin and he picked up the phone even though it was after 9 PM on a Friday night. Peter and his partner, Andrew Murphy, handled my case expertly. They caught the plaintiffs in numerous mistakes and adroitly used those mistakes to my advantage. I'm an intelligent person, I love to argue, and I've often been told that I missed my true calling as an attorney, but I can't even begin to say how glad I was that I called DLA and didn't try to handle my case myself. I (like the plaintiffs) would have made so many mistakes had I gone pro se.  Peter and Andrew got the case against me dismissed with prejudice just 2.5 months after I was served, leaving me free to plan my wedding in peace. That's what you call "results."

No, just no. Peter seems to have been a brilliant attorney in his day. I do not recommend him now,…read morehowever. I am in a mediation. I've spent the last month or so reviewing mediation letters that range from 17 to 45 pages or so long. They are not the same document, tweaked. It seems as if each new version is completely different and does not contain any of the careful edits we agreed upon. Last week, I found out why: He is apparently using AI to vomit this stuff out. So I've wasted probably 50 hours of my time editing stuff that gets replaced by the next AI convulsion. Today, he sent me a version containing three video links and he essentially stated that all three showed a document being signed. But that is factually incorrect. One of the three videos has nothing to do with any document. Rather, it discusses a home. I asked him to correct the error. His response: He basically put his fingers in his ears and hummed, and threatened to quit. That was about his fourth such threat in a week or so. Nobody should ever put up with conduct like this. I should also probably mention that my lawsuit was dismissed for want of prosecution and counterclaim was defaulted against me because of missed court appearances or similar by one of his partners. He was probably a great attorney. That is in the past, as far as I can tell.

I would strongly caution anyone considering this legal office based on my experience as a landlord…read more Unfortunately, this has been one of the most frustrating and unprofessional experiences I have encountered. I retained this firm in September 2025 to assist with a tenant matter, and as of April 21, 2026, the tenant is still occupying the property without paying rent. Given the length of time that has passed, this delay has been both financially and personally burdensome. Additionally, as of April 21, 2026, I have yet to receive any updates regarding what occurred during a court appearance in March. I have not been informed of upcoming court dates, nor have I received consistent communication from the office. Instead, I have had to repeatedly initiate contact myself just to obtain basic information about my case. The process server they utilized also took approximately four months to serve the tenant, causing significant delays. Even after service was finally completed in March, there has still been no clear communication regarding the status or progress of the case. To make matters worse, the process server reportedly left with keys to the building, which raises serious concerns regarding security and professionalism. I strongly encourage others to conduct thorough due diligence and not rely solely on online reviews. My experience highlights serious concerns regarding communication, efficiency, and overall service.

I recently consulted Alisa & Levin Law for a matter related to condominium ownership and real…read moreestate/condominium law. I'm current part of a poorly managed condo building, although I've been attempting to help turn this around. Essentially, the owners above me had issues with their HVAC system, causing water damage to my ceiling. Since I have little faith in property management companies, I went to Alisa for a second opinion and to understand my rights regarding the IL Condo Association Law. She identified several items where the property management company led our board association in the wrong direction. Alisa also reasoned to why my current property management company provided an incorrect initial assessment regarding the HVAC system/water damage. Alisa communicated promptly using Yelp messaging and accepted payment via Zelle for the consultation fee. Perhaps it's because Alisa is quite busy, but looking into a more robust scheduling system or accounting platform would help manage clients, because there was a decent amount of back and forth to just get the consultation setup. Perhaps due to this situation's rapid escalation, there was some anxiety around the situation due to the response time, but this is why many people reach out to lawyers? Regardless, Alisa was very personable and I highly recommend her for condominium law in Chicago and the state of IL.

When…read moreI changed attorneys--because Beermann was involved in a lawsuit with my judge that was actively hurting my case--they ghosted me. No warning. No support. I sent messages for weeks trying to resolve my final bill. No response. Then they showed up to court with a petition for fees. After everything I'd paid and done, it felt cruel and dishonest. This firm is about one thing: billing. They don't care how it affects your family, your child, or your outcome. Please be careful. UPDATE (June 2025) I worked with Tom Field for several years. Looking back, I regret not speaking up sooner. Tom made inappropriate personal comments to me while representing me--things I dismissed at the time because I felt dependent on the firm. Now that I'm married and in a healthier place, I understand how wrong and unprofessional his behavior was. When I finally filed a complaint with the ARDC over ethical concerns and over-billing, Tom responded by lawyering up and submitting a 10-page statement full of distortions, attempting to paint me as unstable and silence my voice. It's clear Beermann LLP values their image and billing records more than their clients' well-being. I don't want others to go through what I did. Speak up, and choose counsel that will respect you.

I'd done my own initial research and felt confident I had a case, and a friend in my industry, who had gone through something similar, referred me to Laura. She spoke so highly of Laura and her team that I decided to reach out. From my very first call, I knew I had found the right person. Laura listened intently, asked smart and strategic questions, and quickly framed what the strongest case would look like to recover the funds that were legally owed to me. While the process itself was stressful, I was genuinely shocked by how seamless Laura and her team made everything feel - and how fast they moved. I expected the situation to drag on for months, but they resolved it in a matter of weeks. I hope I'm never in a position where I need an employment lawyer again, but if you're reading this feeling confused, frustrated, or unsure about whether to hire one, call Laura and her team. You will not regret it.
