    Sara helped me with buying and selling a couple of houses. She was so good with negotiating with the seller. Excellent work.

    I reached out to Janice and her firm for a family law case not anywhere near Chicago (where she is…read morelocated). I explained my complicated case and what I was asking of her if she was going to represent me. She was VERY CARING, ATTENTIVE and REASONABLE regarding my situation. She did everything she could to make me feel less stressed. There were no attorneys in my area excepting ANY NEW Family Law cases do to overload. She worked with me on how she would try to represent me in person and in a reasonable financial way. I eventually, after searching close to 100 firms, found someone nearby willing to take on my case. Even though I didn't hire Janice, she was very outstanding in every aspect a client would look at before hiring. Truely am SO THANKFUL for her and her willing to work with me, even being hrs away. I would recommend her for anything she represents. Outstanding lawyer!!! Couldn't be more grateful for all she did!!!! Such a blessing

    Janice is an amazing lawyer. She is so easy to communicate with and works diligently to make sure…read morethat you come out with the best possible outcomes. I retained Janice initially to help with power of attorney documents for me and my husband. She made the process so painless and smooth. I was expecting this to take hours, but she was able to have the documents ready for us in less than two hours! After that, I have gone to Janice for all my legal needs. My wedding venue was a nightmare and not only breached contract but invaded my privacy rights. She took my case and was able to get me a very favorable outcome so that I could move on from the trauma. I appreciated how she went about the case. She explained each step to me in detail and advised me about the pros/cons. She even asked what was most important to me and made sure that I would walk away with my wishes granted. I highly recommend her.

    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?
