    Ankin Law has been tirelessly working hard at trying to get a hold of me, pretty sure to try to appease me into removing my review of them. Their email to me after, insinuates that I further don't understand what they 'told me,' which is upsetting, of course I understand that they might not take on every case. My disgust is not in what they said, but how it was said to me! It's having common courtesy and sensitivity when speaking to someone, especially someone who may have some mental disability or difficulty communicating to begin with. Please educate those answering the phone, at the end of the day you are speaking with people who may have been through a traumatic situation, don't aggravate or poke fun of their situation, you are not speaking to robots.

    Email Attorney Gross n she may take a week to answer you.

    Ankin came through and took care of me after a mixup in communication. They made sure I was satisfied and were quick to get my case settled.

    The Loop

    My name is Christine Nankishore and I'm a resident in Aurora Illinois. I hired an attorney Debra…read moreSpector with Spector and Lenz in Oak Park IL a while back for my disability case. My case went to the Federal courts so it was a long process and we won but I am not satisfied with the outcome. I feel like I was taken advantage of tremendously during a period when I was really ill (end-stage liver failure) and desperate. During this time my attorney Debra Spector kept bombarding me with stuff to sign and many of the things I questioned and she deliberately lied to me. I'd like to say that I received a letter from Social Security on 10-07-2023 indicating that I owe Spector and Lenz 40,542.68 that it is being withheld to pay my Attorney. Honestly this was a surprise to me as I was never informed that it was ever going to be that costly as it states in that letter; practically %50. My attorney told me several times when I had asked her about her fees she kept stating that I'm only responsible for the 25 percent or which is $7,500 maximum thats what she lead me to believe over and over again. I had my attorney get some medical records for me because I was really ill but her cost doesn't justify it; i just don't see it. I even asked Debra Spector for a itemized bill on two occasions and she won't respond to me which I'm entitled to a bill I would think. How can a person charge over $40,000 and not have to answer to the charges? i believe its unethical. I also just received a 1099 from the social security to pay taxes on the entire amount of money including what she got paid and I feel like this is highway robbery. Debrorah Spector knew I didn't fully understand her contract from the beginning and It's something that I questioned and when I questioned fees she went around in circles. Debra Spector had me sign some documents when I was really ill and I questioned them and Deborah Spector kept insisting that I had used her before in the past and nothing happened and that I can trust her and she was wrong? The previous case which is the original case, I was only charged $3,300 and now over $40,000 without no clarity. Debra Spector should be held to a higher standard and Debra knew I was vulnerable and weak and couldn't fight back and she took advantage of this situation at my expense. Debra Spector took. me for every penny she can get and only cared about her getting paid at the end. Debra asked a few times when she got ill that I sign a fee agreement with Justin Poh and other attorneys names listed on it and right before my last hearing she asked for it to be signed again, she said it was for her to get paid from the courts and she needed to submit these again because the case was so long. I was concerned again so I asked Debra Spector specifically if I owe any of them any money because I don't want to be responsible and she said no; she stated that the other attorneys work for her and they get paid through her. I trusted her and I was misrepresented here. When I used Deborah in the past I only dealt with her but she got Cancer things became complicated. I got different representation through her: Justin Poh and Initially in the beginning I didn't know what was going on when he took my case I couldn't even opt out because Spector and Lenz didn't inform me to the new representation until a few days before my hearing so I was stuck and we attended the hearing. Justin Poh represented me at my hearing and as a result of it, he costed me my case at that time because I lost; at that time he was new to that field and was lacking experience and I feel I wasn't fully represented and had no choice in backing out. In 2010 Deborah Spector represented me and charged me $3,129 and now it's over $40,000 and that's a big difference. I'm not sure why I am being charged over $40000 and how this can be fair that I get no bill, no explanation from social security? If you are seeking an attorney be carful and wise because this law firm was not ethical in the end it cost me and it can happen to you too. Sincerely Christine L Nankishore Please note that I am publicly asking for a receipt from you. You have not responded to any calls regarding a bill and I would like a bill for service for the 40,000.

    I set up an appointment to come in and speak to an immigration lawyer.I called in a week before and…read moremade it a point to tell the woman scheduling me that I needed to come in as early as possible do to me having to go in to work. She scheduled me for 9am . I arrived at the office with my wife at 855. We were let in and asked to fill out an intake form. As soon as we finished filling out the form and turned it in the woman asked if we had the money to pay for the consultation $50 was the charge. Their advert clearly states that they offer waivers but there was no such mention of that. I paid the $50 and was told the attorney was running a little late. A little late turned out to be nearly 30 minutes late. I should have asked for my money back and left but something told me this would have hit me with the we dont offer refunds line. Finally someone walks in wearing sweatpants and a work out tshirt and bike helmet. This person walks in and says nothing to us but speaks to the receptionist and I clearly heard him say something along the lines of "oh I have an appointment?" Guy walks to the bathroom and takes his sweet time before finally coming back and identifying himself as Christian the attorney we have been waiting for. He calls us in his office and asks maybe 10 questions before flatly saying there is no options for you. I am not upset at the outcome of the conversation I don't expect someone to tell me what I want to hear. But this place is crap he really seemed to be green so I am guessing he is not very experienced. Lesson learned don't fall for the place that plays the we service the community card yet charges $50 for a 30 minute wait and 13 minute conversation with someone who cares more about riding their bike than working with the people he rips off. And for the record we spoke to another attorney who offered a FREE consultation and seemed to know more about immigration. Bottom line dont pay for sh!t service and people who dont put in the effort. We dont all make $50 every 15 minutes. Thanks for wasting my time.
