I hired Danelle because I wanted to support a woman in this industry. She has a legal background…read morethat surpasses many others and is highly recognized in the court system. She was able to process my uncontested divorce in 8 months- as there were delays with my ex's lawyer, illness, injuries, and all the things. She is very busy with other cases, which did put my case on the back burner to some extent. I would recommend her if you want a lawyer who is highly respected at court, and are okay with your case not being her only priority.

I had previously closed on a townhome using one of the attorneys in this practice. Stacy was…read moreinstrumental in helping my purchase of the townhome to be completed. She was prompt, professional, and quick with her responses and her assistance. I had inquired about getting a trust and will update updated. I was recommended to Ken Piercey. I cannot recommend Kens team enough. From Donna and Maria, who worked with me to updating and gathering information to Ken, who worked tirelessly with me to get my will and trust updated. I was not the easiest customer due to personal reasons that made my completing my will and trust a challenge for me. They were patient, kind and understanding. When I came in to sign the paperwork for the will and trust, I could not have asked for a more professional experience. Ken took his time to explain the changes and made the process so much easier to understand. Having Ken provide his guidance and assistance in helping me complete the process was extremely helpful. Completing a will and trust can be complicated and emotional. Working with Ken and his team I had complete faith in the process and knowing I made the right decisions. I cannot recommend them enough.

Anna Busch is beyond embarrassing when it comes to her legal practices. She was appointed to my…read morecase 4 years ago and has done nothing to help my son or my family. She is a very untruthful, biased attorney who would rather lie than do her job. She has never investigated any claims made in my case, but made the decision 4 years ago that my son should have contact with his father based on what his mother coached him to say. She tells me perception is everything, but how is that possible when we're talking about physical abuse? Anna really needs to look herself in the mirror and accept the fact that she's beyond terrible at her job, but she won't because how else would all of her vacations get paid for?

During the 1990's, when I lived in Illinois, I had Anna Markley Bush for my divorce attorney which…read morequickly turned into a child custody battle in Cook County, Illinois, no thanks to her. She did to me what she did to many others. Paula S. described it perfectly on 12/15/2020. Coincidentally, when I was talking to a co-worker, who described her negative experience with her attorney, stating that her attorney told her she'd "never lost a child custody case for any of her clients", I responded that mine told me those exact words. When I asked her who her attorney was, she said it was Anna Markley Bush, my attorney! Anna lied to me about so many things, and would tell my husband's attorney things that I thought was confidential, who, in turn told my husband. Little did she realize my husband relayed that information back to me once the divorce was finalized. We compared notes and agreed that we both had been duped by our attorneys who took all our life savings and any equity we had in our home. Anna will tell you anything she feels will benefit her and her pocketbook or her leisure time. She will feign sickness when she wants to go to lunch with her staff for their birthday or take a day off at your expense, instead of showing up in court, thereby stretching your case out and collecting more of your money. She even took the money I was to get in lieu of alimony money and charged me that amount to use that to make my final payment to her. She acts as if she is pro-woman, yet she doesn't care about anyone or anything but herself and buying another Benz, boat or summer home. She defends no one. She will sit on your case and will take her time to run up your bill. It took 3 years to finalize our divorce. And in that 3 years she successfully, along with my x-husband's attorney, financially destroyed us and our children for decades afterwards. If anyone here gave her 5 star maximum, it's probably one of her friends. NOTE: everyone else gave her ONE star rating. My case was in the 90', as was my co-worker's. And I see from the other one star comments that Anna Markley Bush only got lazier and more deceitful and greedier through 2020. Now Heise retired, and she has someone named "ANN" who she is teaching how to rip off clients, no doubt. DO NOT hire Anna Markley Bush or anyone who works with her. I speak from an experience that not only destroyed my life, but my x-husband's life, and the life and futures of all 3 of my children. She has a poor business ethics, and should have been disbarred long ago.

My mother was wrongfully accused of an incident that happened in her self licensed daycare whom…read moreshe's run for 26 years. The incident had no evidence and no facts. DCFS was out for blood as that is what they do best. My mother chose to hire this attorney Thomas Hunter, I as her son chose to help my mom by getting a $2000 loan to cover the start up fees for him to take her case. At first there was light and hope, then this attorney Thomas Hunter not only continued to charge my parents thousands of dollars with nothing to show as far as progress or information toward the status of my Mom's case. Excuses and claims that he was at the mercy of how long DCFS would process the case was all my parents kept hearing, weeks if not months would go by and this attorney continued to extort money from my parents. In present conclusion, now this lawyer wants another $5000, my mom can no longer afford to pay. Family has helped and given everything we can to prove her innocence. If you are someone who has had a great experience with this attorney and his firm, you must have deep pockets or any easy case to fight. Money is what keeps this attorney fat and wealthy, not his concern or empathy for his clients. My mom may very well lose her day-care, DCFS will win, and another innocent person will fall victim to how poor our justice system and greedy heartless attorneys like this man are. It's a true fact.....in the beginning it's about helping people.....in the end it's about how much you have to pay to get that help.

Together, they create a powerful team that makes you feel supported and confident every step of the way. They don't back down, they stay focused, and they truly fight for their clients.

I don't even know where to being on how amazing Leah and Mandas Law is. Divorce is hard enough on…read moreits own, but when you have kids in the mix, it's a different level of painful. I went into this thinking I needed the toughest attorney I could find, someone who'd fight and help me "win." Looking back, that's not what I needed. I needed someone who could handle the legal stuff AND help me hold it together through one of the worst chapters of my life. That's exactly what Leah and her staff did. Leah is tough when she needs to be, no question. But she's fair. And she always, always puts the kids first. I watched through opposing counsel how some attorneys just pour gasoline on the fire to run up their billing, and honestly, it's disgusting to see. Leah is nothing like that. She's also a registered Guardian ad Litem, so she actually understands how kids' voices get represented in these cases, not just in theory, in practice. If you have children, that matters more than you'd think going in. What got me most is that she never manufactured drama just to drag things out. She was honest with me, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. She pushed for real compromise instead of endless fighting, because at the end of the day, everyone loses something in a divorce. The faster you can find common ground, the less it costs you, financially and emotionally. And I have to mention Sandy. Every single time I called, upset, anxious, whatever, she asked how I was doing and actually meant it. She listened. When you're in the middle of something this stressful, having someone on the other end of the phone who genuinely cares means more than people realize. Vicky handled my financial affidavit and didn't miss a thing. Finances are already stressful without adding a divorce on top, so having someone who knows that side of it was a relief. And you want a firm that has people that specialize in these target areas versus having your attorney manage it all at their bill rate. That matters more than you can imagine when you initially look for an attorney. If you're going through a divorce and you're scared, exhausted, or just don't know how you're going to get through it, please talk to Leah. She is getting me through the hardest chapter of my life with more strength and compassion than I knew was possible. I will never be able to thank her and her staff enough. And I will say this. If you came across this review you should book a consultation with Leah before your spouse does. Some people you just want in your corner versus the opposing corner.
