Chris is an exceptional real estate attorney, and I've worked with him for more than 15 years…read moreacross numerous transactions. I highly recommend his services and continue to rely on his counsel. He is professional, detail-oriented, and deeply knowledgeable.

Chris consistently protects his clients' interests and adds significant value to every deal.

When we decided to move and finally managed to have an offer accepted, we were thrilled to get the chance to work with Chris again. His flat fee is fair and you can trust he's an advocate for you - on attorney review letters, in preparing title and more. He's approachable, fun to chat with and made the home purchase process so much easier. Because of his work, we were in and out of closing in under 45 minutes. We can't recommend Chris enough to anyone looking for a real estate attorney in Chicago.

After…read moremy consultation with Jason Sherwood, I was pleased with the education provided and also felt confident in Sherwood Law Group's representation. Jason and his team (Alexis Karkula) were thorough and transparent on the dynamics of my case during the process. As my case appeared to be going to litigation, Alexis brought it to mediation which led to a favorable settlement she skillfully negotiated. Great all around team, I'd recommend Sherwood Law Group to anyone.

After several months going to negotions I was told by lawyers to accept it or to go to court what I declined. Over all bad experience and I would not recommend this group to anybody.

2022 update: Sam Nedeau is great! He expertly handled our sale of our 100-year old home in Evanston…read moredespite us moving out of state. Sam gave us great advice and helped us navigate some tricky back-and-forth with the potential buyers. He deftly handled our closing and we were satisfied with the outcome.

The landlord then later tried to pin a bunch of wear and tear on us for excessive penalties. Sam helped us negotiate settlement. He later handled our real estate closing too. Working with Sam was pleasant and reasonable.

Since I don't know anyone that has a living will, it seemed hard to decide who to go with. I consultated with 3 differen lawyers and I got a warm and patient feeling from Alexander. He didn't rush me either during the cosultation or once all the documents were drawn up. He and staff are wonderful...everthting was perfect and explained with detail and patience. Every detail was as we asked during the preparation. They also file a deed for our property. I don't feel obliged to write reviews but only when the experience is excellent. Given the importance of these documents as is the moment, I do not hesitate in recommending Alexander and his wonderful team.

I reached out to Aaron when I discovered that my tenants were conducting potentially illegal and…read moredangerous activities in the basement. This somehow seemed to personally offend him. I have worked in the legal field for over a decade and I have never encountered a more rude, sneering and condescending individual. Our first phone conversation was seemingly OK and then it went downhill from there. Afterwards nearly every question I asked was met with disdain. At times he seemed to be on the verge of giving himself an ulcer. He would constantly interrupt and attempt to browbeat. At no point did I feel like this was a lawyer who would have my best interests at heart. My personal favorite moment of our short-lived relationship is when he dramatically sighed and said "Unfortunately, it looks like I will have to do some work for you." I assume no one forced him to be a lawyer. Eventually he decided that we should serve the tenants a termination of lease. He misspelled "dangerous" on the notice. You would think for a 3K retainer he would avoid such sloppy mistakes. He then decided to change his mind at the last minute and that was the final straw. It was my mistake to put up with Aaron's bad behavior but as I was in a time crunch I felt that I had limited options. From the many positives reviews (I assume most of them are real), Aaron does know how to behave like an adult and treat people in a professional and courteous manner. However, if you are one of the people that Aaron decides to show his true and lowly nature to, hang up immediately as this burst hemorrhoid is not worth one second of your time. The only good thing I can say about him is that he gave the retainer back. But I did have to email him for the final installment. Additionally, if you are a landlord seeking representation - call Abdilla & Associates at 630-839-9195.

There were more positive reviews than negative so I thought I'd give this guy a try. Unfortunately…read morethe negative comments ring true. He answered his phone when calling the main number, seemed cordial for the first minute then as soon as he realized I was a new customer he talked as fast as an auctioneer, letting me know he'd text me an email for more appropriate correspondence, mentioning he gets paid for his time, charging a minimum of $200 for 1/2 hour or less. He didn't pause for a second before hanging up, never hearing the details of my case. So yes, has a rude personality as others have said. He never followed up with the email as he said he would. There's so many lawyers to choose from in Chicago. This guy clearly doesn't want any new business. If he's such a "big deal" why doesn't he have an assistant to answer calls?

AMAZING! Cannot recommend highly enough. I worked with Michael and he was highly knowledgeable,…read moreprofessional, communicative, and friendly throughout the entire process. I was previously dismissed by many other attorneys and it was such a frustrating process, but Michael was receptive/ understanding and very efficient. His attention to detail allowed for me to exit my lease early without issue (something many other attorneys told me was not an option without paying heavy fees). His rate was very reasonable as well and certainly worthwhile. Michael answered all of my questions in a thorough and timely manner and while I hope I do not have any other apartment/rental concerns going forward, it is such a relief to have a reliable contact just in case.

He is fast to respond and explains things clearly and makes things easy to understand. We have used John 3 times now, once for a contract we cancelled due to inspection issues. He did a great job getting us through that. Recently we bought a new home and sold our old one and wouldn't want to use anyone else. Aside from John, even a few months post sale we get emails from Wasserman with helpful reminders regarding privacy, security and other valuable insights for a new owner. It's a little thing, but it's clear they value their clients even after the "work" is done. There's more... They also are active with local charities, which for me is a big plus. I was happy to match their donation to WITS. No reason not to go with Wasserman. Great value for the money. We loved working with them. Ask for John, you won't be disappointed.
