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.

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.

He made the whole process seamless and worked hand in hand with me throughout every step to make sure all was going well. At closing Craig went extra mile to help seller's attorney, who was not as experienced as Craig, to make sure we closed that day. I cannot say enough about our positive experience with Craig! I would highly recommend him and when I'm in need of a great real estate attorney again, Craig will be first person I'll call. Thank you so much Craig!!

Craig also prevented a closing delay for us by finding a mistake in the wire transfer, so I'm really glad he was on top of reviewing everyone's work.

Craig's fee is also very reasonable. Would definitely recommend working with him!

We thought he was really informative and did a great job helping us work with the seller after our home inspection. It seemed like he was really knowledgeable about the process too. What most impressed us was how sincere his advocacy felt. At closing, we had some concerns about some of the repairs that seller made. He talked us through it, advised us on the best strategy, and stayed with us for several hours until we heard from the seller. It never felt like he was itching to leave during that time, which I would have expected since we were there for so long! Afterwards, he helped make sure the remaining repairs were taken care of. I can't comment on price, since my husband and I hired him through a plan. He always responded to e-mails on time, and was responsive when we called as well. Overall, Michael seemed reliable and trustworthy, and was a great advocate for us when we bought our first home. We highly recommend him!
