I work in a legal department and work in contract law - yet it is still a bit nerve-racking to set up an appointment with a firm you do not know, even when it is a personal referral. Especially when the subject matter is not pleasant. I asked our custody attorney (who did a phenomenal job and was a beast in court) that we wanted someone like him - capable, strong, not afraid to be direct, not afraid of litigation, but most importantly who would look out for my interests. I can't stress enough how Michael Hopkins at Wengler checked all of those boxes. I immediately felt relief and through our discussions I knew I was in capable hands. He is direct, he is strong, and I feel as though he truly desires to protect my interests. My retainer was fair, and he took the time to explain how it worked - and my invoice so far has been fair and reasonable. I whole heartedly recommend Wengler Law Firm. For the first time since a family member created a major conflict and falsified information to their benefit, I feel at peace. Michael and his staff have created a safe space - and I am very grateful for their expert handling of my situation.

Brad gave me clear, practical guidance and helped me focus on the evidence that mattered. I also visited the Chicago office for a third-party deposition.

I hired Monika based on her familiarity with my divorce case and parental allocation judgment, as…read morewell as my spousal and child support entitlements. Recently, I found myself involved in a legal matter that was both emotionally and financially draining. My ex- husband falsely accused me of harming my daughter and filed a claim against me with DCFS for child abuse, additionally he filed an emergency motion to modify parental time. Initially, I was advised by one of her associates to agree with OC suggestion by appointing a Guardian ad Litem to proceed with investigation, which I did openly agreed because I had nothing to hide and I wanted to uncover the truth about a difficult situation involving my daughter and how things really transpired. During this process, I was following my case very closely and during my research on previous judgements I discovered inconsistencies that were done in my previous judgment that was handled by another former attorney at the time; so I uncovered new evidence that my ex-husband had not complied with court orders as it was expected at the time, he failed to comply with certain financial obligations specifically from the mandated order. I shared all of these information and provided documentation to prove my statements, I confided all to Monika to bring justice after my daughter's case was properly handled and done to then pursue instructed legal remedies; she was supposed to proceed with the other two specific motions to enforce payment obligations and a motion to vacate last judgement, I even provided the IL civil code and specific statute and subsection with case law samples to serve her that will allow to move the case aside and ask for relief in a form of back payments, initially she stated that we need to filed right away and afterward she stated I did not have basis for it. I disagreed because I clearly show her proof of misapplication of the law based on my allocation judgement and court calculation sheet, I provided newly discovered evidence, and post divorce fraud, etc. I never thought that Monika would be another average attorney that acquired the typical business pattern as others. However, I was disappointed with the way my case was handled. Monika's responses to the OC emergency motion to modify parental time were very generic, often simply denying allegations and requesting proof, despite having provided statements and evidence that supported my position Strongly. For example, my case included the fact that the DCFS investigation determine the accusations against me to be unfounded--information that could have strengthened my case and demonstrated my innocence. I believed it was crucial to include this and other vital facts, such as my role as guardian of my children, but Monika was hesitant, claiming it could harm my case. I strongly disagreed, as I believe transparency and honesty are essential in such situations. To my surprise, Monika filed a motion to withdraw from representing me, stating "irreconcilable differences" which is totally not true, my total bill exceeded $8,000--costs accumulated primarily through email exchanges /communications and the preparation of motions that were never filed But were detailed in my invoice . While I acknowledge her legal experience or trajectory, I felt she did not prioritize my best interests or those of my children. As a client, I believe it's essential to be actively involved and to have control over our own case, providing clear instructions and understanding your rights. This experience has reinforced my belief that the legal system in the U.S. can be complex and must of the time flawed. Some attorneys may prioritize their fees, their business and their colleagues relationships over clients' best interests, and their children; unfortunately, there can be a lack of accountability within the system. Clients need to be proactive--know your rights, ask questions, and take an active role in your case. Be your own advocate, conduct your own research, and ensure your legal representation aligns with your goals. My advice to anyone facing legal issues is to set clear expectations from the beginning, stay involved, and remember that ultimately, you are the owner of your case, you are paying for legal representation and you are in charge of your case, the attorney is there to advise and advocate for the best action to take and explain your options not seeing you as $ sign. We are talking about real people, real children involved in family matter and yet seem like there isn't much to care for but money coming in. Do not rely solely on your attorney; be informed and assertive. The legal process can be challenging, but being proactive can help protect your rights and interests. Aquarius....

I consulted with Sabreena about an employment discrimination matter, and I really appreciated her…read morestraightforward, honest approach. She took a full hour to meet with me, asked thoughtful questions, and explained my options clearly. What I valued most was her honesty - she didn't tell me what I wanted to hear, but rather what I needed to hear about the strategic timing and approach for my situation. She provided clear guidance about pursuing internal resolution first and helped me understand the implications of involving legal counsel at different stages of a dispute. Rather than pushing me to retain her services when it didn't make strategic sense at that stage, she was refreshingly honest about the realities of settlement negotiations in public employment sectors and how the nature of my case at that time would affect potential outcomes. That kind of integrity and client-focused advice is rare. Her advice was invaluable in helping me think through my options and approach my situation more strategically. She clearly has significant expertise in employment law and understands the dynamics of workplace disputes. If you're looking for an attorney who will be straight with you about your case, explain complex legal issues in accessible terms, and provide thoughtful strategic guidance even when it means turning down immediate business, I'd recommend consulting with Sabreena.
