I would strongly caution anyone considering this legal office based on my experience as a landlord. 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. read more

I called The Villalobos Law Firm on 03-08-2025 about a trust fund. Even though they don't typically handle the creation of a trust fund, my mother told me, Mr. Raul Villalobos personally helped set up documents regarding a trust for my parents back in the '80s. I had sent multiple messages asking for a response by email or text for privacy reasons. After they ignored that request, and called anyway. I finally decide to call back the first chance I got. Explaining my situation to the receptionist, just to be rudely dismissed and denied anything involving that kinda service. When I explained my parents knew Villalobos personally, the receptionist flatly said, "no he didn't," as if they were there when it happened. The receptionist then told me to go through probate, falsely claiming that "all trust funds/Inheritance must go through probate, no matter what". That's a lie. I later learned that alot of people make trust funds to avoid probate. They told me they didn't even handle trust or inheritance in any-way. That's a lie! This firm practices family law attorney and asset protection, which includes drafting legal documents for trusts/inheritance, just like my mom mentioned. This means the receptionist gave me false legal advice on purpose and refused to let me talk to a lawyer, to confirm what she said was true, and they refused to pass on the message to Mr. Villalobos himself. Because of this, I have reasons to believe either the receptionist or someone working at the firm knows what I'm talking about and is helping to cover it up. I got a anonymous tip that "my brother, George, who's on the run had taken control over it (to steal money) during a certain time when he wasn't considered a felon, (Which I was led to believe he was cleared of all charges.)and the law firm had ties to it." If what my mother said, was true, then Mr. Villalobos did help with documents since the firm practice family law attorney and assets protection. Even if his old partner (Mr. Rodriguez) helped, I know when a lawyer passes or retires, their on-going cases (like inheritance/trust fund) go to their partners or the next lawyer on the list. My mother even called the law firm in front of me, a year or two before she passed away to prove to me it was all true, and even tho, she made it sound like, she haven't spoken to Mr. Villalobos in decades, Mr. Raul Villalobos yelled at my mom over the phone in Spanish and hung up on her, making me believe my mom had more contact with him then what she wanted me to believe. I'm NOT blaming Mr. Raul Villalobos personally, but all this false information and blocking me from talking to a lawyer, makes me believe, they are hiding something. How would a anonymous person know my phone number? My name? My parents name? My trust fund? And my brother being on the run and the law firm my parents went to? If he's on the run then of course, he would need money. I would like a lawyer or maybe, Mr. Raul Villalobos himself to call me to straighten this out and, cause if Mr. Villalobos did draw up some documents for the trust, then he likely knows it's location, and if someone from the firm is helping my brother, George steal my inheritance/trust fund, know that you are helping a known felon avoid being captured. And to the receptionist: YOU SUCK! Learn some manners! read more

Very good firm, years of experience, has your best interest in mind. Downtown professionalism without the downtown skyrocketing fees.

Exceptional lawyers, knowledgeable, diligent, and determined to do everything they can for you. Mark was fantastic, consistently on top of any/all correspondence relating to my case. He was professional yet down to earth, and eased my anxiety in what was (for me) a undesirable situation. Great outcome for my case, and I'm more than thankful. I highly, highly recommend this firm. read more

I had a legal issue with a former leasing company. So I was referred to the law firm Villalobos and associates by a friend. My lawyer immediately jumped on the case and handled EVERYTHING.

Hopefully I never have to have another legal issue, but if I do. I'm only calling this firm. - Thanks Mark read more

We recently just launched our new business. Hours upon hours of work was put into building our product, website and marketing/sales systems. We went ahead and proceeded to execute our marketing plan. Few months later, we found another company from miles away plagiarizing our website, photos and business model. If anyone has been through what we have been through, you know that it can cause a lot of sleepless nights. Sometimes you feel angry, but more so, you feel hopeless. We contacted the competitor. We were met with snarky replies and they brushed off our numerous requests to take down our copyrighted material from their website. Enough was enough. We contacted Villalobos & Associates via email at 4am once the plagiarism got out of hand. We received a phone call from Mark about 2 hours later. Who opens that early?! We thought we were the only ones pulling 20 hour days! :) Mark listened to our story, felt our pain, and calmly explained how we can position ourselves to send a DCMA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to our competitor. Mark took full control of the situation and drew up the forms. He sent the forms directly to our competitor. It felt like Mark was heading our very own Legal Department. Few days later - our competitors took their site down. Poof. Like magic. You just don't know how happy our team was. I let each member know what had happened and now Mark is some sort of a mythological figure written in the history books of our company. It's a great story. Our team still talks about it to this day. We still send Mark gifts for helping protect our company's work and vision. He still has this demeanor that "It's what we do, no big deal" every time I bring the story up. Mark allowed us to continue building our vision and serving our customers. To that, we are GREATLY appreciative of the team over at Villalobos & Associates. We are happy (and confident) to know they are part of our team. Definitely an asset to our company. I recommend having Villalobos & Associates be a part of your Legal Team. You never know if something will come up, but you'll have a peace of mind knowing that someone will go up to bat for you at a moment's notice. read more

I recently received a traffic ticket in Chicago while passing by and the citation instructs me to go to the court. Since I am from out of state, it would be extremely difficult for me to come back for court hearing. I found this firm via google and decided to give it a try. After calling them, I am convinced that they are the people that I want. The receptionist who answered my call is professional and helpful. After briefly explained my situation, I was transferred to Associate Attorney Mark, who patiently gave me advice. Mark told me I probably do not need to appear in the court but just need to sign an affidavit. I came to the firm the next day and signed the affidavit Mark prepared. Mark further assured me it is going to be ok. At the court hearing, another attorney Jeff of the same firm appeared on my behalf due to a schedule conflict on Mark. Jeff successfully obtained a dismissal for me. I was good to go without even paying a fine! I would highly recommend this firm for people got traffic tickets and need help. This is not a big firm, but a great one. The price is not the cheapest, but reasonable, and most importantly, you pay for what you get. I had great experience with this firm. read more
