It is my pleasure to highly recommend Dean Lurie as the next real estate attorney you should work…read morewith. I recently purchased a family home I've been living in for years, and Dean was the real estate attorney who represented both the seller (my parents) and buyer (me) in our particular situation. It was a non-arms length transaction, so I figured it would be relatively simple, but I'll admit the case didn't come without a few challenges and some personal family drama at times. We were referred to Dean from another mortgage lender we initially planned to work with, but due to some unforeseen financing challenges, we had to go with another lender. Dean stayed on board with us for several months through many complex matters. Dean was patient, handled both sides with ease, and after several months of back and forth, we finally closed last week! We worked with Dean via emails and phone calls the entire time. He was quick to get back to me every single time I had a question. Whether a phone call or an email, I felt like I was in good hands. I'm so grateful we were able to close, and it was a pleasure to finally meet Dean face to face at the closing table...he's a total and complete mensch.

I would like to make it clear that this review is ONLY a review of my experience with the younger…read morePfeifer, Jeremy T. I have never met the elder Pfeifer and have had no interactions with him. I was pulled over on a little pedal-start motor scooter without a valid license and at my first court hearing the judge instructed me to come back at a later date with a lawyer present. I happened to meet Jeremy T. Pfeifer at the Bar Association office at the court house and came back to chat with him about the case. He gave me some advice and gave me his card and told me to call him if I needed representation. I took care of some outstanding tickets as I was advised to do and gave him a call back about two weeks before my court date. He said that he felt a fair fee for his services would be $2,500 considering my license had been revoked by the state. I told him I was going to take a few days to discuss it with my family and I'd be back in touch. I called a couple of friends who had been charged criminal traffic court offenses about the amount of money they'd paid. When all was said and done, the prices they'd paid seemed comparable (although, they were dissimilar in that they were DUI offenses and I have never had a DUI) so I decided to hire Jeremy. He said that he'd prefer a check prior to our court date which I thought was a little strange, but I also agreed to this. I assume criminal defense means dealing with unreliable people. I had check sent to him and he called me a few days after saying he'd not received it yet. I asked him to be patient, it was in the mail. But he said maybe instead I should bring a new check to his office and then he'd be happy to return my mailed check once it arrived. This offended me on a number of levels. a) It is fairly uncouth for an educated professional to hound a client for payment for services that HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN RENDERED (we were six days from the court date) as if they were destitute or desperate. b) Mr. Pfeifer knew from our conversations that I live about ten miles from his office, do not drive and have mobility issues relating to Multiple Sclerosis. His suggestion that I skip work (forfeiting about $450 in income) to find my way up to his office to bring him a check that was ALREADY IN THE MAIL suggests that he did not really understand who was working for whom, completely lacks empathy and demonstrates that he did not feel that my time was at all valuable. I at this point told him that he could wait for the check to arrive in the mail or I could instead stop payment on the check and hire a new lawyer. He told me thought it would be best if I hired a new lawyer. Not wanting to spend yet another $35 or whatever it was going to be to stop payment on the check to this guy, I asked him to, as a courtesy, write 'VOID' on the check and mail it back. He did agree to do this (earning the 1 star on this review that Yelp won't let me not give him). Guess what? The check came the very next day. My trip to Evanston, my calling into work would have been a complete waste of time had I agreed to this insane request. But wait! The most incredible part has yet to come, I called a friend who is a Yale Law grad and told him I was in a pinch. I just needed anyone to appear even if it was just to be granted a continuance so I had some time to hire a new lawyer. He gave me a phone number of a friend he said was good. I called Art, he agreed to help me and said his fee would be $350. Yes, that's right ROUGHLY AN EIGTH OF THE COST quoted to me by Jeremy T. Pfeifer. AND, I had the most favorable judgement I was ever going to get considering my driving record. Court was over in about 35 minutes. This guy is a bloodsucker. If you hire this guy, I'm sorry, but you're a plain, old sucker. I almost got taken for $2,150. I realize we're talking about lawyers so a degree of dishonestly and parasitic behavior is inherent to the profession, but I am livid about this man's behavior and will be reaching out to regulatory bodies to see if I can file a formal complaint.

Jeremy Pfeifer is a very good listener which immediately puts you at ease - at a time when your…read morehead is swirling a bit. Jeremy is a serious lawyer, but personable. He explains the applicable law and its nuances very well. If there is something for which he is unsure, he tells you and researches the details and re-confirms. He is realistic, and reassuringly optimistic. He focuses in on the the strengths and weaknesses of the case. He asks important questions. Listens to my meandering replies, distills the information, and shares his thoughts. Allows you to repeat your concerns, and puts the details into perspective. These were the traits exhibited to me at our first meeting and the main reasons why I chose Mr. Pfiefer to represent me. Later as I got to know Jeremy Pfeifer, he exhibited another idiosyncrasy. He really cares - He gets behind you all the way. When I was down in the dumps he kept me going reminding me that the law was on our side. Even when I could not attend hearings Jeremy was there getting back fees that were already paid. He takes it personally and though this is included in his fee, it is priceless. I have on other occasions called him for advice on other things and he is always available and has referred me to other lawyers. I have his card at my office and at my home, if I need help in the future Jeremy will be the first person I call.

Luckily we had Joe Napoli II and his team from Beermann to represent me and each time, we prevailed. Britnee, Alexa, Dylan, Frank, and Antonia from Joe's team stay on top of everything. They are very patient, and will return phone calls and emails right away to answer any questions I have. They know what they are doing and they don't waste time. They don't miss a beat! Reminders of court hearings are always sent out in advance to let you know what's coming up. All paperwork and documents are well prepared and good to go. Last but not least, with Joe. Joe will listen to your needs. He will evaluate the case and explains his plans and steps to take. He will advice what's worth fighting for and what's not to save money and time. He's not your average attorney. He is very dedicated to his work and will keep in touch with emails/phone calls/texts even late at night or weekends. He's ALWAYS patient and respectful answering and addressing my million questions and concerns. He was so well prepared for all court hearings, and with all documentations and evidences ready. He's never late to court and more than often he came early, which won praises from the judge! In the Zoom and in-person court hearings, Joe fought hard for me. We pretty much got what we wanted! Another observation is that he's well respected by the judge and he's given ample chances to present our side. I can tell he's very well liked in the court. In the end Joe had helped me add clauses and conditions to the judgement to further protect my children's health and safety, to safeguard child support, and to severely limit my ex's chance of coming back to the court. I am VERY happy with the end result. In the future anything comes up, I know I can count on Joe and his team of Beermann for advice in family law.

If anybody ever asked me what was the biggest lesson I learned in 2023, my answer (as of the first…read morenine months) is "Listen to Mike." I am absolutely hard-headed, strong-minded and relentlessly detailed, but the first two get in the way of the last one. I was introduced to him via another attorney who does not handle cases like mine, and he ended up being a legal coach for me. (His legal fees would've drowned out the amount I was suing for, so legal advice instead of representation made far more financial sense.) Without going into detail about my case, he was patient, flexible with time, an OUTSTANDING listener and genuinely cared about the turnout. As a matter of fact, the only other people who could've rivaled him in caring more about my lawsuit (than me) was my mother and two neighbors. And, depending on the day, he rivaled my mom! Our social justice and cultural views match up about as well as a skunk and a dog, but I am pleasantly surprised by how much of a delight he is to talk to regardless of that. He is probably the ONLY person I can calmly discuss a social justice issue with one minute, and cackle and crack a joke with 60 seconds later. I usually stew for hours over these kinds of topics, but we can agree to disagree. (And if/when he reads this review, I already know he's going to want to know which one of us is the skunk.) But the reason I'm giving him this 5-star review is not based on personality nor activism. Technically, he is an activist for the groups he defends, especially debt defense and condo owners. (Read his Substack blog for the former topic.) However, this 5-star review is focused on the fact that he emphasized that I include one very specific document within my case. As strongly as I felt about NOT including it for reasons that were brought up during the case (and two days later, I am still VERY VERY VERY passionate about why I should not have had to include this doc that was always at my fingertips), I could hear his voice while giving my closing argument and listening to the opposition. Even while I talked to the judge, I was thinking, "Mike was right." For potential clients, if he gives you a piece of advice you don't agree with, take it from me. Listen anyway and follow through. Even if you grumble, complain and feel like you are justified in doing the EXACT OPPOSITE, understand that his legal coaching/advice is 100% because he knows the ropes and how to win ... even if you are convinced you have a winning chance without it. Make a list. Make sure his advice is in alignment with your list. And good luck with your case (whether he represents you or coaches you).
