Adam and his team helped us both buy (and later sell) our Chicago home. They were responsive and easy to work with, and I'd work with them again for any real estate transactions in the Chicago area! read more

I've been a little dilatory in posting this review since I sold my condo back in May so i'm finally getting to it. Adam and his paralegal, Jasmine work great to work with. They handled, mitigated, and advocated on my behalf every step of the way. Even after closing, I had a significant over payment to my HOA that they helped me recover which was no easy task. Adam has now helped me with two sales and I won't work with anyone else but him and his team on the next one. Thanks Adam, thanks Jasmine! CC read more

Bri and Jasmine were very helpful during the purchase of our co-op. My wife and I are grateful to have had a team that was able to answer any and all questions as we navigated purchasing our first property! I am happy to recommend working with Gurney Law Group. read more

Great representation when purchasing a home. Jasmine, the paralegal is a national treasure. She was always responsive. The team answered all of our questions and guided us through all the steps that were daunting to us mere mortals. Highly recommend Gurney Law Group for those buying a home. read more

Gurney Law Group is a fantastic group to work with. If I ever need another law group for my real estate endeavors I will definitely recommend them. I have family members who are also clients. read more

I worked with Joe to have a Will and Powers of Attorney done, which I had never done before, and it was a great experience. Initially, I was strongly considering doing something 'simple' like just filling out a cheaper online Will myself, but I'm really glad I didn't, because I quickly realized there are so many things you need to account for, that it is hard to keep these things 'simple'. Joe was able to think of all sorts of important things I definitely wouldn't have thought of, and that I kind of doubt the online form would cover, as they were somewhat unique to my situation. Yes it is more expensive, but I spoke to some other people, and relative to other estate planning packages, I think their fee was pretty normal, and I like that it was a flat fee, so I wasn't worrying about how much time I was spending every time I spoke to him. Joe was very helpful, prompt with his email/phone replies, and direct with his recommendations when he needed to be. And by that I mean, he would often explain some decision I needed to make, give me all the options, and let me choose, which was usually fine, but in the few cases where I chose something that didn't make sense, he would politely and clearly explain why he recommended doing something different. From that, I always felt like I could go against his recommendations if I wanted, but his explanations made a lot of sense and it really seemed like he knew what he was talking about, so I usually followed his lead. Overall, the whole process was much smoother than I thought it would be, and having an experienced professional working on these things with you gives you a great peace of mind that filling out an online form would not. read more

I've called around to at least 20 estate planning lawyers to get quotes and pricing for a will. I just called this one to do the same and I decided to hang up before even finishing giving my information for a call back. Here's why: upon answering When I called the firm a woman answered. (she was very nice but incompetent) she said her name was Samantha, and I laughed and said, oh cool thats my name too! I then explained to her I wanted a quote for a will , and that I didn't have any assets (so I won't need a trust) but that I just wanted to delegate guardianship for my children incase I were to pass. This is where I decided to run....She says "ok, the estate planning lawyer is not in the office but I can take your info so he can call you back, whats your name?" I said Samantha. she goes, "mine too! thats funny." (no shit, we just went over this smh..) She Then says, so you want a quote for a will and trust. I Kindly said no, just a will- but was thinking ( NO! we JUST went over this. I only need a will! ) It's like she literally didn't listen to a single thing I said!!! so then I decided to make an excuse to get off the phone and run from this law firm because If she can't even get my simple inquiry correct, I doubt dealing with the lawyers will be any better! read more

Bri and Jasmine provided priceless support and rigorous attention to detail as we bought our first home. So grateful we had them in our corner, from the day of the inspection all the way through to the day of closing. read more

Samantha and Adam were amazing to work with! Samantha is very professional, competent, responsive, and provided valuable and honest feedback during the entire closing process. Adam knows how to seal the deal and will advocate for you, every step of the way. I highly recommend Gurney Law Group for your home purchase or sale. I'm definitely going to hire them again when I purchase my next home! read more

Samantha was great to work with and ensured an extremely smooth closing process! I truly appreciated her attention to detail and quick responses. I have a hectic work schedule, and Samantha was great about working around my constraints and always followed up to give me status updates throughout the process. I highly recommend Gurney Law Group if you're buying or selling a home. read more

I've been a real estate broker since 2007 and have been involved with many transactions with many lawyers and I will have to say that Erik is the best I've seen. I have closed over thirty transaction where he was the lawyer on the transaction I have to say his knowledge, professionalism, and his ability to achieve the desired results for his clients are great. He has a great assistant who gets things done. Erik is also amazing at short sales. read more

Adam and his team were absolutely amazing through every step of our downtown Chicago condo sale and we HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. If I could give 10 stars on yelp, I would. There is nothing more important than working with a team you really trust and can communicate when buying or selling a condo (especially your realtor and your attorney). Adam, Samantha and Imani were terrific - great communicators, they respond quickly to emails and when there was a lot to explain they offered up a phone call on multiple occasions to spend extra time explaining the process. I never felt like the thousands of questions we asked were a burden for them and I really appreciate that. Adam walked us through each step of the process from the first time we talked on the phone, and he and his team let us know early on what paperwork and documents we'd need throughout the closing process so we weren't stressed out or rushed at any point. Adam has a special knack for being able to explain super complicated parts of the selling process very clearly and easily, also. They were very professional in their communications with the buyer and Adam advocated for us well in negotiations. Adam also worked closely with our realtor (who we have known for a long time) and kept her in the loop constantly as we transitioned from the more realtor heavy part to the attorney heavy parts of the closing process. Adam went above and beyond his job as our attorney at each step of the way, and we could tell him and his team cared about making the process as smooth and successful as possible. I highly recommend Adam Gurney for any real estate law needs - he and his team will treat you like family and are highly professional, knowledgeable and successful. read more

I recently purchased my first home with the help of Miles and Associates, working specifically with Adam. Pros: - Flat rate for services, so no matter how many emails were needed or how long closing ran (4 hours, in my case), I knew exactly what I was paying. - Their rates are slightly lower than other similarly rated firms on Yelp-- $500 through closing in my case. - Adam was very prompt with email responses, typically getting back to me within a few hours during the business day. This seems to be a huge bonus in this line of work. I almost never called him, so I can't comment on phone responses. - Adam seemed fairly knowledgeable about the process and was able to answer my infinite questions. - Adam also maintained a positive attitude during my closing, which ran long due to a small error from my lender. Cons (mostly about email etiquette--perhaps what gets sacrificed for prompt responses): - Adam's email manners were occasionally rather brusque when addressing my agent and lender-- people on "our side." This may have been partially due to some undue pressure coming from the other attorney, but it sometimes felt like he was blaming one or all of us for not doing something until my lender or agent would point out that it was in fact a mistake on the part of the other lawyer, at which point his tone would change completely. - I also was often unsure exactly what he needed from me versus from my agent or lender until one of them would clarify things. Ultimately, I don't regret using Miles and Associates because they helped me get to closing right on time with a more appealing price and no unpleasant sacrifices, but I just can't give them a glowing review. read more

This firm represented me in the sale of my condo and I was blown away by the service they provided. They respond immediately, they are very approachable, always willing to chat, they negotiated vehemently on my behalf and got me a great deal, and the closing process couldn't have gone smoother. They set up my trust for me in the process too, all for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend this firm. read more

Just finished our closing courtesy of Gurney Law Group. Adam and Joe were there every step of the way. Both of them were very responsive and patient especially with all of our first time buyer questions. Would recommend without reservation! read more

I have worked with Adam Gurney for two closings in the city. Both were investment properties and the process was seamless. Adam was very responsive and attentive to any questions I had. Highly recommend you contact them for any legal issues. read more

I recently used Erik Miles & Associates for help getting out of my lease. Erik was incredibly knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process, and was able to get me out of my lease within a month of our first conversation. In addition, he was so helpful in walking me through my options and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. He is also very affordable and was always available if I had questions. I would absolutely recommend him for any legal work you may need. Thanks Erik! read more

As a Realtor finding the right attorney is one of the most important referrals I can give my clients. And I have always been proud to refer Erik. Erik and his team have represented both my buyers and sellers on many different occasions. One of the best things about Erik is his communication - he always responds to both mine and my client inquiries in a timely manner (unlike most other attorney's I have used over the years). He goes out of his way to make sure the transaction is smooth...and thats hard to find. Thanks Erik!! read more

Having Adam Gurney as my lawyer during my home buying process was the best decision I could have made. He was always available to answer all of my questions day and night. He made something that really overwhelmed me simple and easy to understand. He was much more than a lawyer, he was a very valued partner to my husband and I during our home buying process. I would recommend him to all of my friend and family! read more

My wife and I have used Erik twice now. He does a wonderful job. Fast communication turnaround and he's very knowledgeable and approachable.

Erik is an excellent real estate attorney and runs a very professional practice. I've worked with him on several transactions and have always had a very good experience. His team is very professional and they are always looking out for the best interest of their clients. If you are a first-time buyer or are looking to sell a property I would highly recommend Erik Miles. read more

Attorney Adam Gurney is a very courteous, patient, and a professional lawyer - that's my experience with him when he handled my case. I have nothing but praises for him. Thanks, Attorney Adam ! read more

Adam and his paralegal, Samantha, are the best in the business! If you are buying/selling a home or using them for anything else that they do, you will not be disappointed. They are fair, honest, affordable and great people. You can't go wrong working with Miles & Gurney! read more

Erik was the attorney on my home I sold back in 11/2014. He was very professional, approachable and thorough in his process and timely with all communication to me. On the day of closing, an issue arised which could either delay the sale or stop it, but Erik surprisingly came to my rescue resulting in the sale happening as scheduled! Recently, I needed him again on matters involving the sale. I expected him to point me in a certain direction to get what was needed, but he took ownership providing me with EVERYTHING I needed and I didn't have to look elsewhere. I appreciate that because our business was done, and he did not have to go the extra mile for me. I would highly recommend Erik Myles as an attorney for your needs! read more

Adam and his team are on the ball with communication, guidance and most importantly, they look out for you as a strong advocate for any legal issues. Very pleased with their response time, and knowledge of the Chicago market in assisting with real estate transactions. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I had a very complicated I601 and I212 waiver case and had to hire an attorney no matter what. We searched online for weeks trying to find the best one since we were living in Costa Rica and wanted an attorney from Chicago. We hired Robert after reading his impressive curriculum and experience, plus he did not have any issues with the bar. I am a Costa Rican citizen married to a USC. All of our communication was done over the phone and email but that didn't make it less personal. Robert was always ready to answer all of our questions, always gave us the correct time frames for each process (he said my kind of process could take up to a 1.5 years and that's exactly what happened), guided us through the whole ordeal and basically just told us which documents to provide and what fees to pay. Everything always came with a receipt either from him for professional services or the immigration fees we paid. I am a complete "worrier", I worry about every single thing that can go wrong and I ask a ton of questions. He was always happy to answer them in a timely manner. And if I was still asking questions after he was still answering them! Always with great attitude. With Robert's guidance and expertise we were able to put together a very strong argument as to why my husband couldn't live in Costa Rica and why he needed me with him. Although this is the truth, it is extremely hard to know how to accurately prove this to USCIS, you really have to know how the waiver process works and doing it without a responsible and honest lawyer is not what would recommend to ANYONE. Robert helped us file the waiver and it was approved today, November 21st 2013!!! I owe my happiness to Jesus Christ and Robert, along with all the family members who supported us through the pain and suffering my husband and I endured this past year and a half. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY, HANDS DOWN recommend Attorney Robert Milla for any immigration matter, he knows what he is doing and has the experience needed to win cases. My husband and I will be forever thankful to Robert for bringing us together again. You can contact me if you need further proof.

As a Realtor I end up dealing with a lot of attorneys. Adam and his team are great! I confidently refer my clients to Adam Gurney because I know the care that they are going to receive from his team. read more

I do not know Robert but Nestor is complete fail. He is unprofessional. Instead of he is giving me advice with my money, I had an advice from my friend who had that opinion from his lawyer. He charged me $1500 as ''retainer'' so we had 1 meeting, multiple phone calls, one time I made him to call officer and some copying. I asked him to refund me ''some of the amount'' he was threatening me taking me to court. He is just an amateur. Keep in your mind! read more

I recently hired this firm to represent me in the sale of my River North Condo. I was blown away at how easy the process was for me. Smoothest real estate transaction I've ever been a part of. The lawyers and their support staff were incredibly diligent, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend. read more

After 15 years as a mortgage professional, I can say without a doubt, that E. Miles & Associates delivers the highest level of service, knowledge, and professionalism to its client base. I have referred buyers and sellers alike to Mr. Miles, and he always goes above and beyond the call of duty for his clients. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone seeking counsel in the real estate space contact E. Miles & Associates before any other provider. read more

Erik and staff made my condo transaction super stress-free and easy. Highly recommend

WARNING, DO NOT USE THSI LAWYER! I wish I could go lower than one star on this review. Erik Miles is the worst Lawyer you could possibly hire. He made mistake after mistake that almost cost me my condo when I was closing my deal. Luckily for me my Realtor caught most of his mistakes and informed Erik of his many errors and to fix them before closing. He delegates all of his work to his other staff who are not qualified to do the work. When it came time to close Erik was no where to be found.... Instead of Erik (the lawyer I regrettably hired), I got a friend of his to fill in because he decided last minute to hop a flight out of the country to watch a soccer match. I am in my condo now and the place is great, no thanks to Erik, However he never got with the sellers attorney to hash out details about the taxes owed by the previous owner. I now have tax problems (2 days into living in my condo) and Erik is still no where to be found. I leave messages, he doesn't get back, I send emails, he does not respond. I am running out of options here and will have to go into the office to literally force him to do his job. This is not only a Terrible Lawyer we are talking about....but a terrible human being. May god have mercy on his soul. I have never been so upset than when I was when working with this scum of the earth. WOW!!! read more
