DO NOT RETAIN. This attorney protects the corrupt status quo, not the community…read more As a long-term homeowner and former board member in an HOA community that retained Mr. Wolf, I have observed his counsel first-hand. His services have consistently enabled dysfunction, wasted funds, and violated homeowner rights. He is not a neutral arbiter; he is a key player in maintaining a toxic status quo. Documented Evidence of Failure: A History of Silencing Homeowners: Mr. Wolf has a proven track record of helping boards intimidate and silence homeowners. During a previous board's tenure, he participated in tactics that included using the threat of police presence and procedural intimidation to stifle legitimate questions and concerns during open meetings. His goal was to suppress dissent, not facilitate transparent governance. Sham Investigations That Protect Abusers: When a board member sent a threatening email to a homeowner stating, "I'm asking you first and last time do not interfere... do not ask the lawyers do not bother the office," Mr. Wolf's "investigation" concluded this was merely "inartful" and not a threat. Crucially, he deliberately omitted the board member's documented history of harassing other homeowners and work crews. His investigation was designed to whitewash misconduct, not uncover the truth. Gross Fiscal Irresponsibility: Mr. Wolf advised the board to spend association funds on this so-called investigation, only to later claim the board was "powerless to act" on its findings--a fact he could have established without a costly process. He knowingly orchestrated a legal charade that consumed homeowner money solely to create a paper trail that insulated the board from liability. Inventing Authority to Intimidate Homeowners: In his official response, Mr. Wolf asserted that "there are circumstances under which a Board can constrain unit owner communications." However, a review of our community's governing documents reveals no such provision granting the board this power. He provided no citation because none exists. This was a baseless, veiled threat intended to intimidate a homeowner from exercising their rights, demonstrating a willingness to invent legal authority to suit his clients' needs. Conclusion: Mr. Wolf's primary function is not to uphold the law or the governing documents, but to protect boards and management from the consequences of their own negligence and misconduct. He is an expert in providing "legal" cover for violations of homeowner rights, waste of funds, and the intimidation of residents. He is a profound liability to any community that seeks transparent, lawful, and responsible governance. Retaining him will ensure that corruption is protected, and homeowner voices are silenced. Look elsewhere if you value accountability and the rule of law.

Howard was the worst lawyer, and one of the worst professionals I have ever dealt with. I contacted…read morehim to do estate planning and set up some asset protection for my family. He was great at first and recommended a solution, and the moment I paid him everything went to hell. What was supposed to take "a few weeks" took 6 months, was done incorrectly, and I had to contact a second attorney to contact him to provide the services I had paid for. He made errors in our wills, he forgot numerous times about meetings with my family to sign documents (wasting two hours round trip driving), gave possibly 15 promises in email regarding when I would have documents, and every one of them were broken. At some point he stated that my documents had been sent but did not receive tracking information.....they are considered "Lost by the post office" to him so God knows if he actually sent them out and someone has my estate planning, or if he just gave me one more BS excuse. I am currently paying someone else to undo some of the work Howard did and correct it. The new practice stated he used cookie cutter templates that did not even speak to IL laws correctly. He is unorganized and has no customer service skills. I wouldn't recommend him for anything.

It was my first home purchase and I was really happy with Barry's responsiveness and his ability to explain things. Also, I thought it was really nice that he didn't even charge for the work he did on the first house and the fee he told me when I first spoke with him was exactly what we paid. With the first houses back and forth and the second home having an 80 page rider, his job couldn't have been that easy. He was always on top of all of the deadlines and made sure I knew what was going on. I also was able to meet his partner Lester Ottenheimer who was also very helpful and knowledgeable. I will have no problem going to Barry and Lester if the need arises in the future and highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a good lawyer.
