He was honest, reasonable, and realistic. He's a real person. He took my case, and it turned out to be much more difficult than he originally thought it would be; but he did not quit on me, and fought for me until he could get the best result possible. Throughout the case, Mario also became a friend. I will recommend Mario to others every chance I get. Working with him has been a pleasure.

First, Neda Nozari Esq. does NOT represent me in any current or past court case. However, I reached…read moreout to her regarding some condominium rights questions and discrimination/HUD questions. The HUD answers she gave (although she confirmed she doesn't do fair housing work in her private practice now) were so on point that I wanted to leave this review 45% for that. Second, talk about a small world. After finding out one particular result of a conversation we had about HUD was so very, very accurate, I glanced at her Instagram page and saw a familiar face. I thought I was imagining it at first. It turned out that she'd taken a photo with my Realtor who was responsible for me buying the condo I did. Talk about Chicago being so big and so small at the same time. Considering what I know of the months-long work with my Realtor, these two networking together makes absolute sense. Third, without me asking her to, she made an introduction to an incredibly kind and informative attorney (who I will rate later) who could help me with HOA/COA needs. If I hadn't talked to her, I'm fairly certain it may have taken me much longer to find this other attorney because (for whatever reason) he wasn't on my original search list. So I can't thank her enough.

I'd done my own initial research and felt confident I had a case, and a friend in my industry, who had gone through something similar, referred me to Laura. She spoke so highly of Laura and her team that I decided to reach out. From my very first call, I knew I had found the right person. Laura listened intently, asked smart and strategic questions, and quickly framed what the strongest case would look like to recover the funds that were legally owed to me. While the process itself was stressful, I was genuinely shocked by how seamless Laura and her team made everything feel - and how fast they moved. I expected the situation to drag on for months, but they resolved it in a matter of weeks. I hope I'm never in a position where I need an employment lawyer again, but if you're reading this feeling confused, frustrated, or unsure about whether to hire one, call Laura and her team. You will not regret it.

Peter prepared a thorough, comprehensive communication to the other party that helped accomplish what we set out to do: get the social media post removed and obtain an apology.

I've spent the last month or so reviewing mediation letters that range from 17 to 45 pages or so long. They are not the same document, tweaked. It seems as if each new version is completely different and does not contain any of the careful edits we agreed upon. Last week, I found out why: He is apparently using AI to vomit this stuff out. So I've wasted probably 50 hours of my time editing stuff that gets replaced by the next AI convulsion. Today, he sent me a version containing three video links and he essentially stated that all three showed a document being signed. But that is factually incorrect. One of the three videos has nothing to do with any document. Rather, it discusses a home. I asked him to correct the error. His response: He basically put his fingers in his ears and hummed, and threatened to quit. That was about his fourth such threat in a week or so. Nobody should ever put up with conduct like this. I should also probably mention that my lawsuit was dismissed for want of prosecution and counterclaim was defaulted against me because of missed court appearances or similar by one of his partners. He was probably a great attorney. That is in the past, as far as I can tell.
