I am writing this review based on my personal experiences with an injury liability situation. I…read morecontacted Delano Law Offices and was put in touch with Andrew Ricci. I was able to get a timely appointment with Mr. Ricci and he patiently and thoroughly explained how the process works for injury liability claims. He guided me through the entire process, which took over two years to complete. There was open communication and full transparency during the process. All of my phone calls were returned promptly and he contacted me about important issues that arose during the course of the claim. When we reached the negotiating part of the process Mr. Ricci was able to get an increased offer immediately prior to the final settlement. This was an unexpected, but happy outcome. Overall I was very satisfied with my experience. I was treated very professionally and courteously throughout, and I had complete trust that Delano Law Offices in general and Mr. Ricci in particular were working diligently on my behalf. Based on my experiences I would highly recommend the services of Delano Law Offices and Andrew Ricci. Although I obviously would have preferred not to have been injured, Mr. Ricci and Delano Law Offices helped me receive just compensation for my injury. Dennis Goedecke

I felt hesitant to call this attorney after reviewing his website. It contains a blog that is,…read morebasically, nonsensical. I don't know if he is using some sort of talk to text software, but, it's failing. I did call this attorney (and others) because he appeared to specialize in the kind of case law I needed. My disabled adult son lives in a group home. In this group home, my child is being injured by another resident. The staff is failing to keep my child safe, and allowing these injuries to occur. This attorney called me back two days after my initial phone message to him. During the "conversation" he was distracted, perhaps he was also eating or at least chewing gum because I could hear it. My initial hesitation was confirmed. It was further confirmed by the next statements that came out of this attorney's mouth. "Well, I don't think this is a big deal, a few scratches isn't a big deal." Who said it was a few scratches? I said, repeatedly, that these are OPEN human bite wounds. "Well, why don't you just move him." If this attorney paid attention to the conditions in the State of Illinois, in particular, in regard to treatment of the developmentally delayed, he would know that the state is ranked 51st in the nation (Illinois ranks last, or 51st among the states and the District of Columbia, in the number of people with intellectually and developmental disabilities (I/DD) living in community-based housing of six persons or fewer. This ranking comes from a 2008 University of Colorado report, The State of the States in Developmental Disabilities.) Lastly, I assume because my child isn't living at home with me, nor have I moved him (due to lack of housing), he assumed that I couldn't afford to hire him and attempted to dissuade me from filing suit or hiring him by stating "This is going to cost you thousands, if not tens of thousands." Guess what? I have thousands, I have "tens of thousands" in fact. What I want is an attorney who cares about the rights of the most fragile residents in the State of Illinois. Who is as outraged at this situation as I am. Luckily, after I spoke to this guy, I was able to find just that person.

One star for taking my call. His other yelp reviews are accurate. I was treated in the same…read moremanner. Mr. Ackerman is rude, unhelpful, condescending, dismissive, gaslighting, inequitable, and lacks empathy. One might assume being a malpractice attorney, he would be trauma informed, he is not. I found his name on the ISBA website, as it had been recommended by numerous people, to search for attorneys. Illinois Legal Help and the ARDC recommended the website to me. He's a braggart, his website states personal attention, responsive communication, fully informed & engaged, and he takes complicated cases. I understand he has the right to choose what cases he's interested in, but the manner in which he spoke to me, was uncalled for and insulting. He told me to "calm down!!" when I became upset. I assume most people that contact him are looking for legal assistance and are not educated in law. After desperately seeking assistance, having an attorney's like James Ackerman talk to you the way he talked to me, you lose hope.

I needed very urgent assistance from anyone to help expedite a painful process involving the…read moreIllinois Dep't of Financial and Professional Regulation, located in the convenient location of Springfield, IL. Essentially, I needed a trustworthy individual to function as my proxy to pick up an important document on my behalf and then mail it out overnight. I just moved from Chicago and my Chicago friends all work so no one was available to spare the round trip 3.5 hr train ride. So I was looking for a stranger that could help me out. I tried Task Rabbit and immediately got an offer that was ridiculously expensive since they would have to come from Chicago to do it. So I turned to Yelp to see if there were any reliable services I could find in Springfield, IL. There isn't much variety in Springfield, so I turned to the first law office I found which had a single 5-star rating. Mike Logan himself picked up the phone from the Law Offices of Mike Logan at 4:30 pm. After a 5 minute desperate explanation, he quickly understood my dilemma and without hesitation told me to detail in email/fax whatever I needed him to do and attach the necessary documents. Not only was I shocked that he fielded my call but that he stayed on the line with me. He could have easily interrupted me and told me that he only specializes in Bankruptcy Law. The very next day he calls me personally and tells me that the document was successfully picked up on my behalf and that he would be sending it overnight to the Medical Board of California as I described for him. His secretary then called me back to ask me for my personal mailing address so she could send me a copy of the document to me for my own records. Insane! I need to meet more people like Mike Logan and his staff. If I ever go bankrupt, I know who I'm calling first. If Mike was willing to help an out-of-stater on a favor requested over the phone having never met him, I can't imagine what he offers his clients in his area of expertise. P.S. I will be reimbursing Mike for overnight postage obviously. I offered to pay for his services and inconvenience but he never once discussed or negotiated for a particular fee. Maybe I'll be getting a fat invoice in the mail but certainly service and people like this are worth paying for. At least I know where to go if the fee does eventually bankrupt me.

I was literally uncomfortable (and perhaps a bit tipsy) on the bus ride home from imbibing a bit too much. Speaking of the bus ride, it does take some time to get there. However, if you are from out of town like I was, it was neat to see the farm lands that stretch on and on while on the ride. I didn't really see inside the building or much of the grounds, but the food is top notch. I would highly recommend this place to take a group to have a catered dinner and fun ambiance.
