Unfortunately, several years ago my mother created her Living Will & Trust with Karen Walin. Recent…read morecircumstances required that call I Karen Walin to request direction to obtain a copy. I did call her office multiple times requesting a call back with the information, however the only time I did get a call back was when I intentionally did not mention my call was regarding "services rendered". I left a message asking for a call back regarding a will, and within 48 hours had a call back. Did they see $$$ signs? I spoke with the "man" that called me, I explained my request & he said he would have to speak with Karen Walin and he would call me back, glad I didn't hold my breath! It's incomprehensible that Karen Walin doesn't have the common decency to call me back with any type of information! It's my understanding that her main focus is now with bankruptcies. Hopefully Karen Walin will some day have enough!

I was extremely lucky to work with Sarah Nolan (Attorney) and Marina Kostyra (Paralegal) on my…read morebankruptcy. When I realized that I would never get out of debt, I called several lawyers and left numerous messages. After two days, I decided to look on-line. I accidentally saw Sarah's Picture. She looked very kind and she had graduated from DePaul University (like me.) I called and talked to a REAL person (Marina). She immediately put me through to Sarah who talked with me for an hour. The next day I met with Sarah in person. I was delighted. She walked me through the entire process and helped me to feel better about myself. Marina took care of all my paperwork and correspondence. When I had a question, it was answered immediately. I would highly recommend this law firm. Thank you sincerely for helping me! Carol Reich

I worked with Dan, Danielle, and Stephanie for a little over two years on my case. I had been…read moredealing with an ongoing case with my son's father for the last 15 years and it has been tiring to say the least. No one in the past has ever gotten me as far as Giannola Legal has. They have been more than great with fees, court dates, efficiency, and their detail in digging into things that helped my case. I can't express enough how much they have helped me and how appreciate I am for them.

Sticking to the facts. I appreciate all of the work that their team has done, but I don't believe…read morethat they fought hard enough for me in my case and I feel I took a loss and they failed multiple times to be prepared for court. They fall very short in preparation and diligence. I hired this legal team based on good google reviews, which now I'm thinking are mostly family and friends that left those. We had the final court date scheduled for June 15th 2024 and I took time off of work to attend this court date. Upon arrival we were told by the judge that we were unprepared and had to schedule another court date, which in turn Giannola Legal charged me for the fees accrued from this. Before this court date I asked their team if there's anything else needed on my end to prepare for this final court date not only once but it's something that I ask every time I speak and before I get off the phone with their team. "If there's anything else you need from me please let me know" and/or "Is there anything else I need to do on my end for the final court date?". I was told by their team. "Nope, you're all good, just show up". The purpose of hiring an attorney is to do this work and ensure that all the documents are in order for my case and court proceedings. Full disclosure, yes they gave me a heads up about the things that I need to complete early on, but that's their job, that's what I'm paying them for, it's their job to make sure we have everything we need especially before the final court date. I'm not an attorney, I do not know the rules, I believed I hired a team that would give me peace of mind that they'll make sure everything is taken care of. Working full time, mother of four, and in the middle of relocating the kids and I. They very well knew that I have A LOT on my plate. Again, that's what I hired them for. To help me. I do not agree to be held accountable and pay for an oversight that their office made and in turn had to extend this case unnecessarily. Hiring their team is supposed to give me and other clients like me peace of mind that they are doing their due diligence and ensuring that we are properly prepared for each court appearance. Their team failed to prepare and now they're asking an unreasonable ask to have me pay for this.

I was initially very optimistic about working with Sheila as my divorce attorney. However, after my…read morehusband unexpectedly passed away, things became difficult and stressful, and I truly needed some guidance. I reached out multiple times--via email and phone--hoping for direction or at least acknowledgment. Unfortunately, the only response I received was a call from the receptionist during the first week of October assuring me I wasn't being ignored and that I would receive a call on Friday. That call never came. I understand that the situation that arose after my husband's passing may not have been something her office handles, but it would have meant a lot to receive even a brief response acknowledging that and pointing me in the right direction. The lack of follow-through left me feeling dismissed at a time when I needed support the most.

Of course, I was going to refer him to my daughter. However, now l am so disappointed, sorry and sad that I told her about him. Mr Leeders assured her hope to establish bankruptcy. She paid him his fee upfront and then silence came on his part. She kept calling to check the status, and he kept saying" not yet, but your on top of the list". He went on vacation and nothing. Then things changed when he came back from vacation he told her it wasn't possible, what?? He said she didn't qualify after all. My daughter said fine then give me my deposit back. He didn't file, he didn't go to court, nothing and yet he said NO! Wow! We had so much hope on him! He helped me so much, why the difference sir? It seems so strange and I don't understand why it took so long for him to tell her she didn't qualify. I regret telling her to trust him and his firm. The only thing I can do right now is to tell people my true and honest review, good or terrible, on the experience we have had with you and your firm. Disappointed, Grace G

Within a matter of days, Mark became my attorney, who was a key factor in the successful sale of my townhouse. I am completely happy and deeply satisfied with the outstanding and professional assistance that he and his staff provided to me. I will admit that I was a bit nervous, with so quickly moving from renting my property to selling it. So, I'd questioned everything. Mark and his staff responded to all my questions quickly and completely. Even, they were the first to call me, on any status updates, and tell me of good news, along the process. I felt completely at ease, every step of the way. Mark is very friendly, down to Earth, and cares about giving the kind of service that his clients deserve. Thank you so much, Mark!
