I was referred to Wayne and Joel through a very well respected lawyer in that same area. He told me if anyone can handle this case and pull it off it's them. My case was a very unique case and had to be handled right the first go round. I called Wayne and was immediately talking to him not waiting days or hours to get a call back. Within a day or two he had gone out of his way to get every piece of info needed for my case and I hadn't given him a penny for his time yet. Within that little bit of time he had set up a court date just days out. I met with Wayne and Joel at their office the day before my court date. We went over all material and Wayne made it very clear as to what I had to do and the steps it needed to be done in. I felt very confident after meeting with them. They both are very personable and you can immediately tell they have your best interest at heart. We went to court the following day, watching them in a court room is almost magical. I already knew I was in good hands but after seeing everyone want to talk to them from the police officers to other lawyers to the other people working in the court system. That was when I truly knew I couldn't be in any better hands then them! They are very known and liked and it shows. I thought the judge may have been in a bad mood that day because the previous case he wouldn't budge on their conditions even with a lawyer. Then it was my turn let me say Wayne and Joel orchestrated it beyond perfect. They went above and beyond what any lawyers would have done by far. Without going into detail they made sure that everyone that had a voice was on my side. We ended up doing even better then what was expected. It was a difficult case and they blew it out of the water! I was blown away by the outcome and I truly believe nobody could have pulled this off even close as to what they did. I will be forever grateful to these fine gentlemen. I've never worked with such professionals that truly care so much and work as hard as they do for you! read more

I could not be more grateful for Wayne and Joel. I could go on all day about how lovely and charismatic they are as individuals, but I will try to limit my comments to the professional heavy lifting they did for me. I was facing some serious consequences. Due to their incredible attention to detail, they were able to eliminate one of my biggest hurdles--it was a huge victory. One of the consequences I would have surely faced was... "poof" like magic--gone! This enabled me to continue pursuing my own career goals that would have otherwise been stunted. (Not to mention they saved me a bunch of money and hassle!) Others have noted their deep-rooted relationships in Northern Chicago courthouses, and I think it works very much to the advantage of their clients. They connect with people--their personalities are charming and their intelligence is respected. As a result, the overall outcome for my case was as best it could possibly have been. The State was willing to work with them in a way that benefitted me immensely, and I think it has something to do with the way they present information and the strength of the relationships they have built. When I first walked through the doors of their office, I felt embarrassed, ashamed and, quite frankly, a bit hopeless. They helped to put things into perspective for me, and they encouraged me to see my future as bright despite my (very, very, very) stupid mistake. They went through the possibilities of what might happen, which gave me realistic expectations. They helped me break the thing up into pieces, so as not to get overwhelmed by the process. They fought for me like family, and, seriously, my gratitude knows no limits. read more

Let's start out my review with the word AMAZING. I was referred to the firm of Addis and Greenberg in Northbrook a couple of months ago by a well respected Attorney friend of mine who told me that it was imperative that my case be in the best of hands. Frankly I was beside myself with the case brought against my son who already had a longer than most rap sheet.. from the time he was 18 to now at almost 30, with 3 felonies on his record. The charges levied in the current case seemed to have no possible brave outlook. I envisioned a lengthy sentence being imposed, and my son and I were both petrified. From the minute I met Wayne and Joel, and Sam, I began to feel a sense of security. They are skilled Attorneys and polished Gentlemen. Wayne and Joel in their soothing competent voices managed to take us from a place of terror to a feeling of hope. In two months I witnessed their strengths and strategies, while all the while being cared for with their kindness. Yes, I'm speaking of highly regarded attorneys who care about you and who skillfully turned a life around by getting my son another chance. My son did not got to prison. He came home and got a job and made a promise to call upon his better self and to believe that he can succeed in his life. Wayne Addis and Joel Greenberg gave him that gift. Intelligence, Excellence, Strategy, Honesty, Compassion and determined legal Strength and Confidence with their years of experience. These men are my attorneys and my heros. I encourage you to not give up hope no matter how bleak it may seem now, because these gentlemen are AMAZING. Call them please. And sleep tonight. Rosemary P. Glenview, IL read more

Wayne and Joel are exceptional lawyers as well as individuals. Their talent and dedication to their clients is remarkable. They calmly and methodically prepared a timeline and sequence of events for a case that presented several unique challenges. They not only prevailed at every turn in the case, they also kept me completely informed as to what they were doing and the potential positive, as well as negative, possible outcomes. There were no negatives. They didn't take anything for granted and did not rest until the case was dismissed, a total victory. The need for legal representation can happen to anyone and often suddenly. When it happens, it is absolutely essential to have the very best representation and, I can speak from experience, that is Wayne Addis and Joel Greenberg...they are the best of the best and raise the bar for the entire profession. While my outcome was an impressive victory, it was Wayne and Joel's concern, diligence, talent and long standing partnership that is most impressive. I was very fortunate to have had them to represent me. read more

Wayne Addis was the court appointed Attorny prosecutor for me when I went to court because I was a victim of bullying. I was unable to walk the hallways at school without getting harassed, was unable to walk inside my own house some nights without thinking that something bad could happen, I was unable to go to some friends houses without the bully coming up to me. It had been going on for months by the time that I was able to take the person bullying me to court. Wayne Addis was nothing but supportive in getting justice and providing safety for me. Wayne Addis took each one of my concerns to heart and made sure that they would not happen again. Fast forward a few months after court. Everything had stopped for awhile and I thought it was over. It wasn't. The second that the harassment started again, I knew the first person I had to call was Mr.Addis. I called him directly and he immediately knew what to do. He saved my life once again. He is the best Attorny and truly has your best interest and safety at heart. read more

Wayne Addis and Joel Greenberg were very straightforward with me about the difficulties that we would be facing regarding my DUI case. At the time I was facing a DUI charge while holding a commercial drivers license, while having a previous, large speeding ticket. Their experience and knowledge of the severity of my personal situation was made very obvious to me throughout the process of our preparation for court. Their level of professionalism and skills as lawyers was made undoubtedly clear to me as the outcome of my case was finalized. The DUI was reduced to Reckless Driving, and with most everything important to me hinging on the outcome of my case, including my career among other things, I was able to retain my license as well as my commercial drivers license, and could therefore keep my job. Wayne and Joel have certainly proven themselves as most skilled, professional, successful lawyers, and kind-hearted, compassionate men; I wouldn't dream of seeking advice from any other lawyers, period. read more

Words cannot begin to explain the gratitude I have for Addis Greenberg Attorneys. They honestly treat you like family and want to help you as much as they possibly can. You're not just another case to them, you're almost a family member. I remember the days leading up to me court hearing, I knew it was a serious case and I was more anxious then I've ever been. Wayne personally called me up and told me not to worry, not just that but gave me real life tips that I know I will keep with me for the rest of my life. They genuinely care about your situation and want to take it on as their own problem. Mr. Addis and Mr. Greenberg are the most qualified attorneys in Illinois. Nothing is more comforting than seeing everyone come up to Wayne and Joel, shaking their hands and going out of their way to say hi to them. They are most certainly the rock stars of the courtroom. They are known and highly respected by every figure in that court, and too me that made me feel that much safer. Best attorneys by far. read more

Looking for an attorney is a tough situation to begin with. We are grateful that a friend referred us to Addis-Greenberg LLC. Wayne Addis and Joel Greenberg are a phenomenal team.

I couldn't ask for a better team to support me throughout my court process. I had an urgent situation and they met with me the day after I called. After going over my case with me and telling me the possible outcomes, I was feeling a little better, but still ashamed and embarrassed by my stupid behavior. They assured me that they've done this case 100 times and that everyone makes mistakes. The day after meeting with them, we went to the courthouse and they got the best possible outcome I could have imagined. They saved me time, money, and anxiety by how well the know their way around the court system. You can tell how respected they are in the Northern suburbs after walking into the circuit courthouse and everyone saying hello to them and stopping to chat. I'm so happy I found them and after reading other reviews before calling them, I know I made the best decision. read more

I was recently involved in a traumatic auto accident. Wayne and Joel were recommended to me by a long time friend of mine. I knew from the start that these two professionals knew what they were doing. I found out later that they have handled thousands of accident cases. They told me at the first meeting not to worry and that they "had my back". Throughout the entire process, they demonstrated repeatedly they knew exactly what to do and when. They always made me feel at ease and kept me informed with the truth. When the proceedings were over, I found that they really did "have my back" all along. The outcome was in my favor and I have the utmost faith and confidence in both of them. I will never have to search for anyone to watch my back any longer. Thanks Wayne and Joel. I will never forget the professionalism and expert advice you gave me. read more

I have known these guys for 5 years now. They are very honest and reputable in their field. When they first represented me, I saw them work hard and saw that they were genuinely interested in the outcome of my case. They care about their relationship with the client, so they are courteous and truthful. In spite of my case, and how worried I was, they gave me a sense of hope. They guided me step by step and in the end they delivered. The outcome was very favorable, these guys were very efficient. Since then, I know they have my back. For example recently, I came to them for some legal advice. I was very worried about my situation but with their knowledge, they laid out the different scenarios, walked me through them, and put me at ease. read more

Hi- I need to let everyone know that I received the best representation from Wayne Addis. Wayne has never met me in person but took my case to heart, listened and was in constant communication until everything was resolved much to my satisfaction and beyond. As I have told Wayne, thank you isn't enough. He was responsive and put me on his calendar 4 weeks out after our original conversation to ensure follow up. Wayne represented me without "me" being there, as I am out of state and was a victim of IL traffic violations. My recommendation is 5+ stars if you are lucky to get Wayne and his Team- my job was on the line and it no longer is. read more

He continued to be exceedingly responsive through the process. He managed to get me the best possible result in the court-room, and I would be happy to recommend him to absolutely anyone, especially anyone in Lake County who has been unfortunate enough to get a DUI. Sincerely, Lynn - Deerfield, IL read more

Wayne Addis and Joel Greenberg are exceptional, hard working lawyers who not only are empathetic towards their defendants, but also help protect and defend their defendants to the highest extent. Both men are well respected in the court, making it possibly easier to reduce the charges of ones case. I hired them both in court to help me with three pretty big driving tickets, and I received the minimal penalty because of their high education of the law, and because they have a great and respectable reputation among the court. Thank you both for helping me! Extremely dependable. Worth every penny! read more

Wayne Addis was extremely informative and helpful right from the first time we spoke on the phone. He is easy to communicate with and answered all questions concisely and promptly.
