    I contacted Attorney Leibowitz for an old unresolved matter that wasn't handled properly by a…read moreprevious attorney. I compiled a list of attorneys from the Chicago magazine Super Attorney list and every attorney I called either didn't respond or told me that they didn't want to get involved with my matter. I was beginning to lose hope going through the list but he called me back and the first thing I noticed is how friendly and down to earth he was. He patiently allowed me to tell my story and he was the only attorney that said he could help me. After he told me his strategy I agreed and from that day Attorney Leibowitz worked very hard on my matter and kept me in the loop on all his moves. Another thing I noticed in his methods was his professionalism and character. His manner on communicating with parties while advocating for me was really a class act. Along the way there more than a few road blocks that came up and he would fervently deal with each one while simultaneously putting me at ease. At one point things were dragging on from the other end and I was losing hope and he reassured me and worked his magic and my matter was resolved even better than I even expected. I highly recommend Attorney Leibowitz for anyone seeking a knowledgeable, professional, class act lawyer that will vigorously advocate for them.

    Dear Aaron, I wanted…read moreto personally thank you for everything you did for me. When I came to you, I was exhausted, discouraged, and had almost completely lost faith in the legal process due to my prior experience. After nearly two years of inaction from my former attorney, I truly believed there was nothing that could be done. What you accomplished in the final 24 hours was nothing short of remarkable. Your ability to quickly understand the case, focus on the details, and take decisive action completely changed the outcome. Because of you, I won my case--something I never thought was possible at that point. Beyond your legal skill, what meant the most to me was how you treated me as a person. Your attentiveness, careful approach, and even your sense of humor helped me stay grounded during one of the most stressful moments of my life. When I heard the result, my hands and my heart were shaking uncontrollably. That moment will stay with me forever. Thank you for stepping in when it mattered most and for giving me hope when I had almost none left. I will always be deeply grateful and will never forget what you did for me. With sincere thanks, Hongxia Chen

    Sean Patrick is not a good person and takes advantage of his clients while helping the other…read moreside!!!! I hired Sean Patrick to handle two civil cases: 1. A contractor lien and injury claim tied to a real estate deal 2. A civil lawsuit filed against me by a convicted felon (Rayfield v. Patel) He failed me in both, legally, financially, and morally. In the first matter, he promised to recover my commission, address a facial injury (from Jacob's property), and help my contractor, who was defrauded of over $70K. Instead: * He dropped my injury claim without telling me * Never recovered my commission * Used my funds to finance someone else's case, even after I said no Then came the Rayfield case. I was wrongfully arrested by Bartlett PD -- they used unrelated police reports and lies to paint me as a criminal. Rayfield, a felon, chased me outside his job and falsely claimed I pointed a gun (I didn't -- the 7-Eleven footage proves it). Sean never obtained that video or the police reports. I had to FOIA it myself. I paid over $25,000 and got: * Misspelled names * Incorrect addresses * A sloppy, botched counterclaim * Missed deadlines -- including the statute of limitations My wife, who witnessed the entire incident, was ignored. My defense was neglected. Worse, Sean mocked my PTSD and disabilities (I'm a Marine veteran and former police officer), cursed at me, and gaslit me into paying more money every 2 weeks. He'd charge $200-600 per "call", even if 5 minutes, then ask for $2K-$4K more. When I passed out the day my daughter was born, he billed me anyway... No humanity whatsoever. I asked him months after I fired him for invoices, twice, I was ignored both times. Invoices (#2030 and #2037) show major inconsistencies, inflated hours, double-billing, vague charges, and wrong totals. He also accused me of pointing a gun at Rayfield before he had even seen the video. My own attorney believed a convicted felon's false story over his client's, without reviewing the evidence, without protecting me, and without ever acting like my defense mattered. Video showed I didn't do it. Furthermore, I had to get the police report, and video, myself as well, after having paid over $25,000 in legal fees, which then showed Bartlett Police Department violated my constitutional rights in multiple ways. Any competent attorney, or even police officer, would be able to see it in black and white in the report. Hal Garfinkal, Sean Patrick, and Aaron Rifkind are all criminals, who completely changed the entire trajectory of my family and my life... Financially, physically, emotionally, everything. Imagine being treated like a zoo animal, only later to find out its a human. Sean even asked intrusive questions about my finances in an intentional tort case, where bankruptcy wouldn't protect me, which made it feel like he, the court, and the opposing attorney were just trying to bleed me dry. He accused me of pointing a gun before seeing the video. Now: * My business is ruined * My career's, plural, done * I'm drowning in debt * My 1.5-year-old daughter is growing up in legal hell *. I have to move out of the state where I grew up, before my daughter starts school. I've filed complaints with ARDC and the IL Attorney General. This wasn't just bad lawyering, it was predatory. AVOID!!!! They prey on trauma, exploit your trust, and leave your life in the trash. I will 100% likely get retaliation from the current judge due to this review. And the convicted felon who lies, gets my money for free. Blowing into the fire then crying about the smoke in your eyes. I pray this can never happen to another person again. You're scum bags. This is how Rifkind Patrick treats US Afghanistan Veterans who served, as well as Police Officers. I delayed this because Sean threatened retaliation when I fired him. I'm not scared of you. Perfect example of me being treated like a criminal..... Sean threatened retaliation to a person that can't do anything. Scum. Param Patel USMC Veteran, Former Police Officer, Father, Husband
