Their web site suggests they may be the only firm in the Springfield area that does this effectively. They even suggest that conditions such as disability, loss of income and pain and suffering due to improper medical attention are possible reasons for a medical malpractice suit. And, they will have your back. But, they apparently don't value you enough to sit down in-person to discuss your life-changing situation/case. Instead, from my experience, one is possibly going to be hurried through an over-the-phone only attempt to explain a condition of which they may (understandably) have little to no knowledge. They told me that if I can still walk, they would not take the case (despite my post-surgery condition causing daily pain, severely reduced mobility and loss of income). They offered that it would cost $50,000 dollars for them to attempt to process this non-death case. So, basically, what I understood from this (occasionally rude) conversation was...if no one is dead...we are not likely to want to assist you re: your post-surgery disability, pain and suffering and loss of income.

BIG plus was he kept in regular communication with me offering updates, info & insight and seemed genuinely concerned for my well health and well being after both car accident in which I was not at fault. Please do yourself a favor central IL, resist calling one of those guys in a TV ad! Dennis Atteberry will always be my 1st and only call for representation. Side-note, about 20 yrs ago I took a settlement the car insurance company offered after a not at fault accident and only after having Dennis on my side did I learn it was a FRACTION of what I should have gotten!!! Ps most times he contacted me personally not some random intern person you might get in a mega-firm.

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 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.

This is one of thee worse lawyers you can hire, if not thee worse. I got screwed by him. My first…read morered flag was the lawyer himself during the consultation was telling a story how others have been unsatisfied they take so long and have no contact. Now after calling over and over again for months trying to get answers why my case was taking SOOOO long, they lied every time In a very condescending and non caring voice) saying they were waiting for the bills. The billing companies however all testified they had sent them numerous times after I requested them. After growing tired of this, i confronted them about this fact and they immediately became extremely aggressive with me verbally. And then after a complaint it's taking to long they lied and said it hadn't been that long, and that signed on August 2. However I'm confident I was out of state from August 1-7 for my birthday. Clearly catching them in a lie again. Mark Lee himself again lied to me after telling him i had the bills. Saying he will gladly stop by the next day and pick them up. Of course that was a lie (as to be expected at this point) as he did not show up....Then after calling several ties with no answer, i called from a different number and behold they answered immediately not knowing the number. After answering because they didn't know it was me, i asked why they had not shown up as promised. They proceeded to give a very poor excuse that he couldn't come due to the weather (which wasn't bad, roads cleared of all snow, and plenty of traffic on the roads) Further more I fully believe that they forged my signature to try and make their clear lies more believable about it not being long since i hired them. After having three people with me testifying I was out of state and that the bills had been sent out despite there lies, he became EXTREMELY dehumanizing. After months have gone by I was forced to fire him. My time wasted, money lost, and he just thinks it's all a big joke without a care about how he has victimized me and others, or what he has done to me and others financially. He has shown no regret for his actions, and still has yet to apologize.

Finally got a pre trial release hearing, she didnt know what court room to be in. Asked us what room it was. Then the hearing was a joke! First thing I noticed was she began speaking about the arrest date and warrant. The date was wrong! The time of arrest was wrong. She didnt object when the states attorney mentioned he was arrested with my oldest son, because he was not. She said she was never given the copy of the warrant, states attorney says yes you were its page 14 of the discovery. She made my sons girlfriend look completely stupid. Asked her about never seeing the warrant then 2 questions later says so you saw a piece of paper on the coffee table was that the warrant? My Sons girlfriend says yes possibly. Made her look like a joke. I was coming out of my skin! My sons life is in this lady's hands and im terrified!! Zero STARS!!

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
