In my opinion... DO NOT USE THIS FIRM! I think they have zero concern for anything except cashing your check! I would find anyone else!!! I feel they are possibly the worst firm I have ever dealt with. All of the members I dealt with seemed overwhelmed with possibly taking on too many clients... which made them (in my opinion) simply fall into a reactive state and not proactively attempt to help my case! It felt like they didn't want to create a strategy, had no concern, no movement forward... NOTHING! My primary lawyer actually called my (twice) on the morning of emergency hearings to strategize the hearing. Literally minutes before entering the court... they felt that was the best time to rush you through trying to have a solid understanding of your position. I FELT THEY NEVER PREPARED FOR ONE HEARING!!!! I paid them $40,000 dollars to settle only one aspect of a divorce. They spent a year depleting the retainer... simply reacting to the other lawyer's action. Not once did they set up a meeting to discuss the potential offer or what my goals were. They rarely responded to or addressed my emails or return my calls. Pathetic. They seem to be way more concerned with accumulating hours... possibly in an attempt to make partner? The hours they accumulated didn't seem to help move my case closer to settlement. I feel they are not a divorce firm to use... and I'm sure you could throw a rock into a bunch of lawyers and find someone more concerned and able to help your case. $40,000 later... they dropped me because I was 4 days late on paying a $2,000 invoice. That's right... 4 days! Keep in mind that visitation was already resolved before approaching this firm. They only needed to provide my soon to be Ex with an offer for alimony and child support. After a year of depleting the retainer... they never once put together even one offer to my Ex. Not one! Less than one year of them doing NOTHING and incurring $40,000... for just my side of this divorce. I feel they have ZERO compassion for their clients and have no sympathy for what married couples are going through in the difficult process of Divorce. Not sure why... but, it felt like THEY WOULDN'T RESPOND TO EMAILS OR CALL ME BACK... EVER I'd say to Skip this firm... at all costs! I feel they are simply one of the worst on the planet... Find anyone else! I believe you could represent yourself and get further along then simply giving them hours as they all work towards partnership. I think they are a pathetic bunch of losers... and they do not deserve to represent anyone! Too bad the court system couldn't find a way to weed out the pathetic lawyers (and firms) and put them out of business. I feel these guys give the 1% of good lawyers a bad name... PS - I'm assuming that any of the positive reviews for this firm are made up or provided by a family member of the firm's employees. PPS - Today I appeared in court to hear their motion to be removed from the case... and my lawyer actually pulled me into the hallway, referenced this review, and threatened to take me to court for defamation of character if I didn't remove. LOL! Your bullying tactics won't work on me! read more

Anderson and Associates, PC - Divorce & Family Law Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

I have been with Anderson and associates for several years. I am very pleased with the outcome of all of my cases. The office staff has always been professional and polite. There has been a number of times that I had called after hours and on the weekends and my attorney was always there to answer my questions. The pricing is reasonable as well,they had to fix a few things for me also when I thought that I can LEGAL ZOOM ...not a good idea. Never think that you can logically do your legal work online without an attorney. Luckily they fixed the mess at no additional fee. I highly recommend this firm for your legal matters. I have used a few other services online, or even other attorneys and I always end up back with Anderson and associates. read more

I utilized Chris Maurer from Anderson & Associates for a legal matter. He was thorough, his communication was timely, and his advice helped me through the situation. I would recommend Chris and A&A to others. read more

I would absolutely find diffrent representation. I had a terrible experience with this law firm. In fact, I had to hire new representation to clean up the mess they made. They were hired to fix my child support, which they did not end up doing, AND through their representation it has cost me $16,000 in arrearage payments that I am not even legally responsible for!! During their representation, there was such a lack of communication between them and the opposing counsel that I had to go WEEKS without seeing my daughter (who I typically have every other weekend!) THEN they had the audacity to send me a final bill, which I was never given any statements or even told that my retainer had been depleated! The judge in my case was able to eliminate part of my unjust bill, but not all. Please find different representation, I strongly encourage you to do your research before hiring an attorney, especially if you are a father looking for rights to your child read more
