I made a real estate purchase that was somewhat complicated. Rebecca A. Lamm walked me through every step. She is a pro. She was also there at the signing to answer questions and protect my interests. This law firm provides very personal service. It was 5 years ago and I still get a holiday card every year. I highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend this firm. read more

Rebecca Lamm and her paralegal, Lupe, were wonderful to work with concerning my real estate transaction. They were on top of things from the beginning to the end. They kept me informed every step of the way and let me know the things I needed to do to help move the process along. They took care of everything that was required and made the situation as easy for me as they could. I truly appreciate their legal knowledge, their kind demeanor, and their endless patience with my ongoing questions and concerns. They showed me grace during a very difficult personal time in my life for which I will be forever grateful. Wonderful value for the services provided. I would highly recommend this firm for your legal needs. Meredith Hall read more

I'm will never do business again with this firm. Took almost a week for him to get in touch, had a miss call than voicemail. No answer. The person I was doing business with he goes by the name "Eric c. Hendricks" first I spoke to him over the phone just felt like he was rushing the call when I was asking questions, than he asked me who are you going through, I said my employer, he said ok. So all in all never got back to about exactly how much I was going to pay, or even why I'm going to pay for something I didn't do, or at least figure out why are they even accusing me. Long story short, again Honest review no 1 is paying me to say this, I just want people to know what service there going to receive. read more

Greeley represented us. After several attempts on our end for updates and answers that were never provided. We were not made aware of court dates and when finally updated, we were told it is now closed. Due to the major lack of communication, we no longer have the opportunity to get justice for our family. Although it is not about the money, they received a large lump sum and did the bare minimum. Our case was not handled diligently as you would expect, which resulted in more frustration and hurt for us. We trusted Greeley with a case that was very dear to us, as I am sure many others do. With all of that being said, I would not recommend using this firm. read more

Rude on the phone before he heard the case explained, don't know which lawyer it was but the guy needs to relax and listen for a second, must have been having a bad morning sorry I called for help here read more

I contacted this law firm. Steven Greeley is an Attorney that may be helpful and honest.

My husband and I are highly satisfied with the work that Mr. McKenna did for us. He helped us to sell our house while we were out of town. He was so easy to talk with, called personally when he felt it necessary, is highly knowledgeable and his written communication is of the highest standard. We highly recommend Terry as he treats you as though you are his only client and takes a personal interest in your case. We are also very satisfied with Kelsey Bowen, the paralegal that worked with us. Kelsey kept us informed through email and phone calls. She always made herself available for us and treated us in a very professional yet personal manner. Kelsey always made time for us and followed through on everything she said she would do. We feel very fortunate that we could put the trust of our home in her and Mr. McKenna's hands while living so far away. read more

Used to help with Village issue. Steve Greenly,from this firm represented me. Seemed nice and knowledgeable. When I went to court ,it went south. Went against my wishes just to end case.

Peggy Gerkin was my court appointed mediator assigned to my case last year. I give her 1 star because despite the horrible mediating she did, she was accommodating to me bringing my newborn to the office. The mediation agreement says that I was supposed to get a one on one with her, my sons biological father was supposed to get a one on one with her then we would all meet together. Possibly a few times until we made progress. This was not the case at all. My sons biological father and his attorney communicated with Peggy Gerkin at the court house the day she was assigned to our case and painted a false picture of the situation. So when we met (which the first time was all of us together, I never got my one on one) she immediately started with when can he see his son. They both hounded/bullied me to let him follow me home so he can have a visit that day! Never once did she ask me what my side of the story was. How the situation was, if it was safe to... Nothing. Never once did she try to mediate. She went in biased to the situation because she allowed herself to hear and believe the story she was told at the courthouse which was not true. I left that 1.5 hour meeting HYSTERICAL. The next meeting was less then an hour and all she did was create a visitation schedule. I just sat quietly and let them draw up what they wanted to so I didn't leave the way I left last time. Peggy's mediation skills are horrible and she should not be allowed to be involved in the situations families are going through if she can not go in with an unbiased attitude. And if she's not going to give the families the time they are paying for then she shouldn't be offering her services. I still got billed my almost $400 for services I never received. For help she did not even attempt to do. If you get assigned Peggy Gerkin for your mediator you should request someone different. read more

I recently bought a loft in the West Loop, downtown Chicago. Terrence McKenna, attorney and Kelsey Bowen, paralegal, made my experience a flawless one. Both were extremely responsive in all communication and Terry was at my closing. I was in the busiest time of year with my own business and had full confidence that they had my best interest in the transaction. I highly recommend this firm for exemplary service. I have used their legal services before this and I will not hesitate to use them again should other situations arise. THANK YOU, Terry and Kelsey! read more
