My review is based on the lawyer Carolina Schottland…read more I have to give her 5 stars. She worked with me when I came across some trouble with my small business. She was phenomenal. She was understanding, professional, and very very nice. She saved me a lot of money and heartache. She helped my case immensely and it is now resolved in the best way possible. I honestly believe Carolina is a great choice.

Danelle is such a great lawyer. She represented me in what I thought would be a straight forward…read morechild support adjustment, only for it to turn quite contentious. She remained calm, steadfast, and supportive throughout and there was never a doubt that she had my best interests in mind. And while she is pragmatic in her approach and works to reach a fair agreement, when push comes to shove, Danelle stands up for her clients. She was also constantly in touch with me the entire time so I was never wondering where we were in the process or what the next steps would be. I truly can't recommend her enough.

I hired Danelle because I wanted to support a woman in this industry. She has a legal background…read morethat surpasses many others and is highly recognized in the court system. She was able to process my uncontested divorce in 8 months- as there were delays with my ex's lawyer, illness, injuries, and all the things. She is very busy with other cases, which did put my case on the back burner to some extent. I would recommend her if you want a lawyer who is highly respected at court, and are okay with your case not being her only priority.

I reached out to Rhonda for help as I don't know local estate requirements. She couldn't have been more helpful, to include giving me assistance with a realtor as well as her legal services. She guided me through the entire process, made court appearances and got the estate settled as quickly as possible. Also, she had all of the necessary court documents at the ready and assisted in me completing them. Highly recommend! It is a pleasure to work with Rhonda.

Could have solved the issue we had by simply telling us we did not need a lawyer but rather could do it ourselves. Would have saved a lot of headache.

I reached out to their team to help me with a living well and trust in about March of 2026. In the…read morebeginning, the communication was pretty efficient and quick. There was about a month where I was struggling to complete a few online questionnaires they had, due to being a single parent and working full-time, And also because the questions were vague, and I would've preferred to fill them out in person since I didn't understand the terminology. Once that was done, I received the electronic paperwork to start signing a contract for Tiffany Newman to be my attorney. I had some questions before signing a contract with an attorney (rightfully), and since that email the entire attorneys office has not responded to one email. At one point, I attached their reception, their personal assistant, and both attorneys email addresses to the final email, and still no one reached out to me. They wasted my time. It felt unprofessional for them to not respond, even if they chose not to represent me for some reason after all of that. The last email I received from them was April 22, and still as of August 20th I have never heard from them. I do not recommend that you use this Law firm/office. Now I have to start all over with a new attorney.

Tiffany did great taking care of my situation. Case was dismissed! Thank you so much for your help!read more

One of the worst divorce attorneys on this planet. If you are a man stay away! My husband hired her…read morein 2016 for a divorce. He still to this day has issues with the wording she put in there allllll pro mother. child support was biased, medical care was biased, parenting was biased, all in favor of the mother having less burden. My husband hired Karin to have his back and she did jack for him. He was younger and more naïve, but having lived through the stress of this agreement and lack of support it provided him, Oye vey! I am a divorced woman with two children and didn't put my ex through half of what Karin allowed my current husband to go through. shame on her.

I originally chose Karen M Lavin after attending the mandated "Divorce & Children" class in which…read morethe instructor told us to chose our lawyers wisely. She said your outcome often depends on your lawyers reputation and track record with the judges. If the court doesn't like your attorney....... So my search began for a local attorney that seemed "in tune" with the courts. KML and Associates have represented me twice now (re- the same divorce). Karen and her team are great! I go into court knowing they are knowledgeable, and will handle any issues that arrise in my best interest. They have made some tough times much easier. Although the final decisions on how to proceed were always mine, they are available to offer guidance and support.

I was referred to Paulette and was told that she was the best in McHenry County, and always ensures…read morethat her clients were treated fairly. Well this was an understatement. Paulette went above and beyond. Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Paulette was nothing was "sugar coated". She was very straight forward, direct, insightful, and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the separation and divorce from start to finish, Paulette kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Since this was the first time going through a divorce I had many questions and to be honest, a little scared. When calling the office, Paulette took the time to make sure I understood everything that was going on along with all of the ramifications of both side's decisions and requests. She kept the entire proceeding on track and the other attorney on task. I cannot say anything but positive comments here in regards to the top notch representation that I had. Please contact Paulette. You will not be disappointed in your choice.

If you're looking for an honest "lawyer"/ "representative" : RUN I strongly encourage others to find representation elsewhere. She will deny that she never dealt with me as usual.

I feel completely betrayed by Mr. Haff and deeply disappointed in how he handled my family law…read morecase. Throughout the entire process, he went to court only four times, and during those appearances he said little to nothing--mostly just telling me not to speak to the judge myself. At no point did he advocate for me or make any meaningful effort to help my case. I fulfilled every requirement expected of me, yet he failed to ensure that critical steps were taken, such as making sure I received a service plan. I actually had to request it myself, even though he was in the courtroom when it should have been addressed. I paid him $3,000 for representation, and later he charged me an additional $1,500--then sued me for that amount after providing minimal legal support. His lack of communication, effort, and professionalism left me feeling completely unrepresented and taken advantage of. Given his conduct, I am firmly considering filing a formal complaint with the Bar Association. In my opinion, Mr. Haff's actions fell far below the standard of care expected from an attorney, and I would strongly caution anyone considering hiring him for family law matters.

The final time was to contest the actual details of the divorce. Renee was quick to put in to an end in one hearing. Like many of my previous attorneys she did not get into the back and forth that is a common waste of time in family court. she stuck to legal precedent. I understand why people may find her rude or distant but if you want someone to hold your hand and play therapist, you will be disappointed. Renee is zero games. Heck I even got some of my retainer back!
