Look no further for a lawyer to handle your home purchase!…read more I have worked with Michael twice now - once when I purchased my condo in Chicago and again when we sold. I could not ask for a better experience with a lawyer - he was always timely and professional. Made the whole purchasing and selling experience less stressful. You can tell he really takes his time to review the documents and provide his expert opinion. He is a great person to consult with on all legal matters and words can not express my gratitude!

Shane was my attorney when I bought my condo nine years ago. He was good but it was all very…read moreroutine so I didn't get a great sense of him. Then a few weeks ago I was cleaning out some old files and found what looked like a check for about $3000 from my closing. It said it was only valid for 120 days. I was freaking out and didn't have any idea what to do so I emailed Shane. He immediately said he'd look into it and did. He found proof that the check had been reported as lost and a replacement issued and cashed. I was so relieved. He never mentioned any kind of payment, her just immediately solved the problem. A true pro.

If you knew how many times that exchange happened during my home buying process, you'd feel confident in your choice too. The other reviewer said it best - my experience with Shane was flawless from start to finish. Shane took what was a nerve-wracking experience for me, as a first time home buyer, and made it seem so easy. He walked me through every step of the process, he didn't bat an eye when the batshit crazy seller lost his damn mind during attorney review, and when I finally got to meet him at the closing table I was super excited because he just seemed like an awesome guy (and he lived up to my expectations). He's so awesome that we breezed through closing in barely 45 minutes, and somehow still made me understand all the legal jargon in my nerve-wracked-sleep-deprived state. It's too bad I'm never moving again (haha!), otherwise I'd use Shane again in a heartbeat.

I recently consulted Alisa & Levin Law for a matter related to condominium ownership and real…read moreestate/condominium law. I'm current part of a poorly managed condo building, although I've been attempting to help turn this around. Essentially, the owners above me had issues with their HVAC system, causing water damage to my ceiling. Since I have little faith in property management companies, I went to Alisa for a second opinion and to understand my rights regarding the IL Condo Association Law. She identified several items where the property management company led our board association in the wrong direction. Alisa also reasoned to why my current property management company provided an incorrect initial assessment regarding the HVAC system/water damage. Alisa communicated promptly using Yelp messaging and accepted payment via Zelle for the consultation fee. Perhaps it's because Alisa is quite busy, but looking into a more robust scheduling system or accounting platform would help manage clients, because there was a decent amount of back and forth to just get the consultation setup. Perhaps due to this situation's rapid escalation, there was some anxiety around the situation due to the response time, but this is why many people reach out to lawyers? Regardless, Alisa was very personable and I highly recommend her for condominium law in Chicago and the state of IL.

From start to finish, Bradford, Elizabeth, and Thomas were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. They provided thoughtful guidance throughout the negotiation process and consistently looked out for my best interests. Their responses were always agile, timely, and direct -- true 1:1 communication whenever needed. I never felt left waiting or uncertain. Their attention to detail and strategic advice gave me confidence during what could have otherwise been a stressful experience. I truly felt protected and well represented at every step. Without hesitation, I would work with them again and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of real estate legal counsel. Carlos

I consulted Erwin Law to draft a will since it was one of those things I've been procrastinating on…read more- who wants to prioritize the creation of a will? Alas, I found Erwin Law to assist me. I reached out via Yelp and we communicated mostly through email. I was given web forms to pay via credit card for the deposit and final transaction. We did most of the will creation over email, I was sent a form to complete then scan, and email back. For the final will creation, I had to visit the office in person and sign, along with Erwin's team. In all, it was a pretty realistic transaction for the creation of a will. Granted my will is not complex, so I cannot speak for someone with a lot of requirements, but Erwin Law did a great job for a basic will.
