    We were denied claim by a public and fortune 500 insurance company, suffering hundreds of thousands…read moreof dollars in casualty loss. Chris was able to find key points that the insurance company had violated by not paying the claim. He was patient with us, and very compassionate. Communications were very prompt and clear. After nearly 4 years (partially due to COVID delays), we were able to get reasonable settlement close to our damages. We strongly recommend Chris to help with any insurance-related cases.

    In September 2011 I was mauled by a dog owned by renter/tenants who lived next door to my house. I…read morewent to a family recommended attorney and had an awful horrible experience. I was down on my outs and in tears when I started searching for a new attorney to take my case seriously and to take me serious. The day I started calling attorneys I talked to Jim Roche on the phone. He was one of 6 attorneys I spoke to that day. Out of the 6 he was the only one that stopped me from crying and gave me hope. He actually cared what I had to say. It wasn't just a case. I followed up for an in person interview with him to go over my case. My case was far from an easy one. I knew this in advance. When he spoke to me, he didn't care how hard the case was or how much the laws were against it. He took it on. Over the next year I would come to realize something really amazing about this office. The entire time Jim Roche was on my case I never felt out in the cold nor did I feel ignored. His office staff were always there to answer my calls and ease my anxiety. Specifically Kim Mazuc. There were plenty of calls to her while I was breaking down in tears that she is was kept me from crashing. She kept my hope up. Same as Jim. As my case went on I knew the chances of winning were slim to none. The laws in Illinois were against me. That didn't stop them from fighting for me. I was blown away by every single thing Jim did to keep my case going and how detailed and efficient it was. There was a time when I read a response he wrote and I literally broke down in tears. For so long I felt like I was fighting alone. But they changed that. I was no longer fighting it alone. I didn't win the case against the landlords however we received a judgement against the tenants. If I was ever asked since I didn't win against the landlords do I regret picking Theisen & Roche as my attorney office, I would say 100% NO! I wouldn't have it any other way. No one else would have fought for me the way they did. No one else would have felt like family calling. No one else would have been able to stop the tears and the anxiety. This place is not only highly respectable they are great people with great hearts. You won't find another attorney who will fight for you the way they do! You won't find office staff anywhere else that will treat you with the compassion they do. I promise you. This is where you want to go! Thank you Jim Roche & Kim Mazuc and everyone else from Theisen & Roche, LTD. 100% THANK YOU!

    I recommend Paul Heinrich without hesitation…read more I found Paul Heinrich on AVVO. He had a 7.1 "Very Good" rating... which, for him, could only be raised closer to a 10 by peer recognition which isn't as important to me as his very high ratings in the other 2 categories - "Knowledge" and "Experience". I hired Mr. Heinrich to help lift a pending 3-month driving suspension. I had a stop sign violation as a third violation in a year and was denied supervision by mail which resulted in an automatic DL suspension. I am a professional and a mother of 3... suspension is not an option in this "vehicle reliant" world of mine. Mr. Heinrich spent ample time with me by phone before I decided to hire him. He advised me on several things that I needed to do (before I even decided to hire him.) He was also very clear on communicating fees. I decided to hire him and I paid up front. Mr. Heinrich's responsiveness to my questions, calls and texts EXCEEDED my expectations (and as my husband will attest... my expectations are quite difficult to exceed.) Today was our day of court. Mr. Heinrich called me this morning to confirm exactly when and where we were meeting. He looked very professional and put together, not like a "slick, silver-fox, used car salesman" (which was what most of the attorneys looked like this morning.) He handled everything in court exactly as he described and committed to me. I was amazed how quickly he took care of everything. Additionally, Mr. Heinrich took care of making sure everything was couriered to Springfield to ensure the pending suspension stopped in its tracks within 24 hours. I have decided to hire Mr. Heinrich to help with another issue and am looking forward to the same level of knowledge and professionalism.

    I hired Mr. Heinrich as I got scared after getting speeding ticket and receiving his letter saying…read morethis is criminal offense and judges don't grant supervision for this easily. He showed up and appeared legitimate for first court, even though made me worried by being 15 mins late. Other lawyers i saw there were talking to their clients 15 mins before court. For the the second court date Mr. Heinrich was nowhere in court and did not pick up his phone ( i called multiple times as i was freaking out) and i got called within 10 mins of the time scheduled. I asked attorney about plea bargain Mr. Heinrich said he worked out and there was nothing on record so i had to plead my own case with judge and take higher penalty/fine. Mr Heinrich called me 30 mins later saying he does not see me in court.... 30 mins!!!! then had nerve to call back 2 hours later and say that he sees i took plea bargain he worked out for me... he was not even there and showed up way to late to work out any of the fees he took from me. Definitely would not trust his services again! At this point there is no proof he ever even tried to get plea bargain on my case as state attorney had absolutely nothing on his file. I really believe that if you charge $350 to show up for 15 mins of court then you have to make sure you are on time and at least have decency to apologize for being late and refund fee you took. I did like his attitude the first time i saw him but he proves once again the common opinion of lawyers being bastards, unfortunately. And he is not responding to any calls anymore or admitting being late or absent... My advise - talk to judge and ask for supervision if you don't have any previous offenses (yes, the scary Downers Grove judge he mentions in his letters is actually very pleasant and reasonable!), no need to hire anyone like Mr Heinrich and waste your money and trust.

    I trusted Thomas Mirabile with my immigration case, and he shattered that trust completely…read more He filed the wrong form and even inserted the forged signature of my deceased ex-husband. My I-485 was filled with biographic mistakes -- false criminal answers, mixed-up passport information, and missing names -- errors that damaged my credibility with USCIS. He failed to collect all of the joint-sponsor'srequired financial documents, which triggered a devastating RFE. During this crisis, he left the country without giving me any prior notice. I was not informed beforehand and while he was away , he ignored my messages, refused to release my file, and when I tried to retrieve it, he actually threatened to call security on me. Because of his negligence, I had to start over and spend more than $17,000 in total costs-including attorney fees, new filing fees, an new medical exam form, and other expenses- to repair the harm he caused. This experience caused enormous financial and emotional harm. Please be extremely careful before hiring this attorney.

    We are truly grateful to have had Tom and Alondra as our representatives during our Adjustment of…read moreStatus (AOS) process. From the beginning, Tom was an absolute pleasure to work with: optimistic, calm, and reassuring. As a couple with high anxiety navigating a complicated immigration system, we found immense comfort in his steady guidance and patience. Most of our meetings with Tom left us feeling more grounded and hopeful. Alondra, his legal assistant, was equally incredible. She was always just a text or call away; prompt, thorough, and kind in answering the many questions we had throughout the process. Her reliability and responsiveness gave us so much peace of mind. Thanks to their guidance and well-structured system, our case was approved in just 160 days - a timeline that genuinely surprised us, given how long similar cases can take. We felt informed, supported, and cared for every step of the way. We highly recommend, Mirabile law firm!
