This is one awesome law firm. I highly recommend them…read more.. Very professional, understanding honest and compassionate which are hard traits to find in this field. If you're looking for a law firm to represent you, look no further. If I ever need another attorney, this is where I'm returning. Thank you Johnson Law Group.

I hired attorney Brendan Bukalski for a serious criminal matter and paid my legal fee in full. My…read moreunderstanding was that this payment covered representation through the conclusion of my case. Instead, Mr. Bukalski withdrew while my charges were still pending, and the firm refused to return even a portion of my money. Throughout my representation, I repeatedly requested updates and explanations about why my case remained unresolved for years. Rather than feeling supported, I often felt dismissed, and my reasonable questions were treated as distrust. As a domestic violence survivor, I was particularly disappointed by what I perceived as a lack of sensitivity toward my circumstances. My efforts to work with victim advocates and explain my experiences often felt unwelcome. Comments made about my emotional distress were especially troubling. I also obtained an advocacy letter supported by numerous domestic violence organizations and requested confirmation that it had been forwarded to the State's Attorney. I never received the clear confirmation I requested. My greatest concern is the financial outcome. Despite withdrawing before my case concluded, the firm retained my entire fee, maintaining that the work performed justified doing so. This was especially frustrating because I was told that meaningful progress depended largely on another person's criminal proceedings. I also did not receive regular billing statements, and records later provided raised additional questions about billing transparency. I was left with unresolved charges, the need for new representation, and no refund. I have since raised my concerns with the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission. My dissatisfaction is not about an unfavorable case outcome. It is about communication, transparency, professionalism, and the treatment I received as a paying client. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this attorney or firm.

I strongly recommend Pioletti & Pioletti. When I contacted them about my case I got a response back…read morein almost ten minutes or less with them wanting a full understanding of the situation. Joe truly showed interest in my case for a very reasonable price. He contacted me on every turn that occurred and let me know of anything that was needed of me. I couldn't be more pleased with all the help that Mr. Pioletti has done for me. I'm going to hope that I'll never get in the situation to use their services again but if something arises they will be the first ones I go to! A+ work from the Pioletti firm.

Absolutely horrendous. I can't point fingers at every person in this office because it would be…read moreunfair, but this is about Don. From the get go, I spoke with an attorney that seemed eager and ready to take on my case at this office and somehow, by some horrible turn of misfortune, my case was passed to Don. During consultation, Don seemed completely disinterested and when I brought him more documentation, I was told "I'm the attorney, not you." Great start and a foreshadowing of things to come... Just a fun little added bonus was the string of butt-dialed calls I got from the secretary while she was at a bar one evening. Super professional. I wish I was joking. Back to Don. At the court date, Don showed up unenthusiastic and unprepared. He mostly sat in silence or fumbled through what little paperwork he did bring to court that day while being outclassed in every way by the opposing NOVICE attorney. He said maybe five words during the entire case and wanted to fold and settle without me or him interjecting once. Needless to say, we lost that case. However, I did hire a different law firm at a later date and won with the same documents that were presented to Don... And before someone from the office gets on here and says he was prepared or tries to say these claims are false, read the reviews around the internet about Don personally. He's rude and unprepared. Maybe he was a good lawyer like 50 years ago, but those days are long gone. Hopefully he's since exited the business.
