Ellen Beattie and I met many years ago when I required legal counsel. She was very friendly to me…read moreand explained in simple English the legal situation for which I was seeking advice. She stayed on task, helping me to keep emotion out of the matter at hand. She provided what proved to be excellent advice based on her professional experience and knowledge of the law. I recommend Ellen Beattie wholeheartedly and without reservation. She has sat down with me to determine how to stand up for me on multiple occasions. I would like to say she is a great friend, and it is true we enjoy catching up a bit when we run into each other around C-U, but really I only call her when I need something. She is the best at what she does.

We had poor communication. I asked Ms Beatty one question: what might I reasonably expect, in…read moreterms of community property division, if I divorced my husband in Illinois. She never answered the question because she told me on the day of my appointment that she would not speak with me over the phone or by telecommunication: only in person. I told her that I only have one car and I am not free to use it. She still wouldn't talk to me. She just took my $150 and never gave me any legal advice at all. That was the end of it. I just gave her $150 and she gave me nothing.

A few years ago. I had an incident that I needed law help with. As it happened, a few days before…read morethat. I had received one of Mr. Patels mailers and I thought okay. I'll take a chance on Mr. Patel. Big mistake. I called and the person that answered the phone was very rude. She told me that I had to make an appointment so I did. I had an appointment with a young man who was not Mr. Patel, but I assumed that he was a lawyer. Big mistake. He said that before he would do anything. I needed to give him $2000 and he would take care of it. Giving him that money was a huge mistake. Because after that he would not take my calls or return my calls. And as I remember it. The next time I saw him was at the courthouse. As we were going in to the courtroom. And I quote, "we are going to plead guilty because I (me)am a large white man with a bald head and there is no way that I would be found innocent because the plaintive was not. So after paying $1300 and In court costs and fines. I let it go for a while thinking about it (because I am a little bit afraid of attorneys). I decided I would let Mr. Patel know about this. When I would call he would not take my calls and would not see me when I drove by his office. I did leave my phone number with the receptionist and ask for Mr. Patel to call me. I did this many times. When I came into his office mind you, I knew he was in there because I could see him walking around. I know what he looks like and I was not there to start a big commotion. All I wanted to do was explain to him what happened. So I knew he was trying to avoid me. Now I know that $3300. It's not a lot to Mr. Patel. It's not one car payment on his Masarati or McLaren that he's driving this month or whatever it is that he's driving now. But it means a lot to me. I've had 2 heart surgeries. I've had cancer bouts twice and I've had over 20 other surgeries and I've been on SSDI for years. So that money meant a lot to me and he did nothing to earn it. I'd like to give him a zero. But a one is the lowest I can give. Now I just hope maybe this review can stop someone else from making the same mistake that I made.

Despite not needing to as the buyer, I purchased a home in Champaign while I was staying in…read moreSacramento California (with nothing more than a virtual walk-thru! ;D). Because of my exposure, I was looking for a really fair minded, professional, organized law firm that could take me from earliest negotiations right on through to final sale! And this is what Maatuka Al-Heeti Emkes and her amazing staff did for me! After coming out of a 30-year marriage and subsequent divorce, they made me feel certain, assured -- they made me feel empowered! Gave me the drive to finish something I'd never done alone and wasn't sure I could do! They helped me make a start on a brand new life and with that, they helped me build a home. =) And I will tell you this much, as the newly single, scared and unsure, price was absolutely a factor (anyone who tells you any different is a Rockerfeller of the atypical kind ;D). But MAE Law Firm (as they often call it) was absolutely spot on as far as that score! They were so fairly priced, and for all of my worries, they made me feel like very special client, even though they'd never be able to pick me out of a crowd! Even though I'd never spent a moment in their offices! It looks like there has been some kerfuffle here - that I absolutely cannot speak to! -- but I just wanted to say that from my experience and in everything that happened for me, my experience was very dissimilar to those in the negative. And price-wise, $500 was my entire bill for the time and attention Ms. Emkes gave to my project. In comparison to her competitors, it was well below any other quote I'd received.

I've worked with Evan Bruno before. He did me good. No complaints. This time, I was pretty sure I was cooked. To the point I had even broke the news to my family that I would probably have to go away for a while. I don't wanna make this about me not going to jail bc everything is relative...you know what you did or didn't do... That being said, this is about his conduct in total: professional and super informative. Upon first meeting and hearing how much he was going to charge, I may have threw up in my mouth a little but like they say; you get what you pay for. After doing more research and a consultation, I paid. He told me I was in good hands but I was still super apprehensive. He did not lie. From the little things like a day or two before every court date, getting an email letting me know where to be/what time/what was going to happen, to being presented all options, and being given his professional opinion...and personal if I'd ask. Showed up on time and ready to each and every court date. The one time he had to sub, he informed me prior. There were no surprises. I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with the outcome of my case and his conduct. I hope I never need this man again I promise but if ever you find yourself in a situation and need a lawyer you can count on, he did not disappoint...pay the man!

Since day one, she guided me through a legal process that I never imagined going through and had no knowledge of the process or outcome. We communicated weekly and I knew she was making every effort in areas even beyond the norm. Once presented to the judge, she did not miss a point and displayed genuine support and care of my case. Her message and delivery was received to end the worst year of my life and to take next steps to move forward She continues to be available if I need her. I will forever be grateful.
