I'd done my own initial research and felt confident I had a case, and a friend in my industry, who had gone through something similar, referred me to Laura. She spoke so highly of Laura and her team that I decided to reach out. From my very first call, I knew I had found the right person. Laura listened intently, asked smart and strategic questions, and quickly framed what the strongest case would look like to recover the funds that were legally owed to me. While the process itself was stressful, I was genuinely shocked by how seamless Laura and her team made everything feel - and how fast they moved. I expected the situation to drag on for months, but they resolved it in a matter of weeks. I hope I'm never in a position where I need an employment lawyer again, but if you're reading this feeling confused, frustrated, or unsure about whether to hire one, call Laura and her team. You will not regret it.

Second, talk about a small world. After finding out one particular result of a conversation we had about HUD was so very, very accurate, I glanced at her Instagram page and saw a familiar face. I thought I was imagining it at first. It turned out that she'd taken a photo with my Realtor who was responsible for me buying the condo I did. Talk about Chicago being so big and so small at the same time. Considering what I know of the months-long work with my Realtor, these two networking together makes absolute sense. Third, without me asking her to, she made an introduction to an incredibly kind and informative attorney (who I will rate later) who could help me with HOA/COA needs. If I hadn't talked to her, I'm fairly certain it may have taken me much longer to find this other attorney because (for whatever reason) he wasn't on my original search list. So I can't thank her enough.

Hired Mason to be our closing lawyer and he was happy to take an up front payment for the project…read morebut as time progressed he wanted more and more money to do what was already supposed to have been part of the initial deal (writing, reviewing, and sending a contract). Overall I wouldn't recommend Mason Cole as he will just make ambiguous promises and then will ask for more and more money to honor them.

SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS OF EMAILS FOR PROOF OF MY REVIEW…read more Mason Cole is a scam. It seems he will do anything for money. He lied about the strength of our case to entice us to keep paying more money to chase it and charged us to amend because he didn't file properly. Mason eagerly took on a case he knew, or should have known had major flaws and could never succeed. It involved title to real estate and a mechanics lien. Because of the ownership transfers among parties, those parties are precluded from filing a mechanic's lien. It is called merger of claims. I am told it's real estate law 101. Yet, despite that Mason knew or should have known what I now understand is a very basic fact of law, he took over $9,000 in fees from my elderly mother and filed the mechanics lien foreclosure case anyway. He even urged us to amend our complaint to enjoin additional parties like the title company and even the buyers of the property saying he had discovered wrong doing on the part of opposing counsel. He claimed out case was so strong and that we would "get those clowns." He told us we had backed them into a corner and that because of that, the title company would surely settle and quickly too for more than the amount sought in the complaint. Of course this amended complaint cost even more money. However despite his claims tat our case was so strong, in a stunning reversal, within months, he told us we had to completely dismiss the case because we had no right to the mechanics lien. And that was that. Mason was $9,000 richer and we had wasted money and damaged our case so badly, we will be lucky to recover anything. Mason took took $9,000 of my elderly mother's money for a case he clearly knew would fail. He refused to accept any responsibility and he refuses to refund. We now have to start completely over. Yet, we cannot get another attorney to sub-in because they say the case is botched so badly. We are now suing Mason Cole and his junior attorney, Dean Tatooles. It seems Mason Cole was desperate for money and that he would do anything and say anything to get it including making us feel we had a very strong case when indeed the case never should have been filed as a mechanic's lien, but rather as a civil matter. Now we are being told, we may not even be able to file that because Mason botched the case so badly. What a waste of money. With so many other great attorneys out there, why risk your money and your entre case with such a dishonest and incompetent attorney? RUN from Mason Cole!
