I just needed to talk to a lawyer about something quickly to see if I would need one going forward. Michael called me back quickly, and apoke to me about my concern. I am extremely happy, and if I do need an attorney later, he will definitely be speaking with him!

Rachael Moore Perry is outstanding! I had so much anxiety about finding a lawyer and then having to explain the situation(s) that we’re going on. She immediately put us at ease with her friendly and professional demeanor and listened intently to everything we told her. She has and continues to show compassion for a very difficult situation. If you are in need of legal advice, she is who you want on your side! Thank you Rachael, for making our experience so much better just by being you! I HIGHLY recommend the law firm of Pioletti Pioletti & Nichols, specifically Rachael Moore Perry!

Joe handled my bankruptcy case superbly. Very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. I would recommend Pioletti Pioletti & Nichols to anyone in need of a good lawyer.

Attorney I. Ferrer was very knowledgeable and very professional. He was very helpful and handled our problem fast and very efficient. He was very easy to talk to

A criminal in Normal ,Illinois contacted me and claimed he was a family member that was supposedly revealed through a DNA website. I am not involved with any of those DNA websites and told the person to get lost. Boom !! This person filed two false domestic protection orders against me in Illinois. I live a thousand miles away and needed to get an attorney in Illinois. After much research I reached out to Rachael Moore Perry. Rachael had a great practical background,court room experience and a great team behind her, including Karin Miller an excellent paralegal also with the experience I needed. I was shocked that a convicted felon could arbitrarily file false reports through the court without consequences. Well Rachael Moore Perry and Karin Miller proved that you can’t!!, The offender did not even show for the first complaint but instead of it being dismissed my legal team made sure that the case was heard, dismissed with prejudice. The second complaint was dismissed also, again with prejudice. Furthermore my lawyer filed motions for sanctions against the defender. The judge forced the person to FULLY pay all my attorneys fees. My defense was free. Justice prevailed, a person cannot use the court to harass ,intimidate or extort. I felt confident and at ease with Rachael and Karin and for good reason. They are the dream team of the Midwest

They have a great reputation with the court, and this is a great advantage for clients. Phil Finegan is such a lifesaver (sent from God to help me).

If you're considering getting a lawyer/ firm, LOOK NO FURTHER. They are AWESOME. Thank you so much Phil!!!!!!

Johnson Law Group is a wonderful team of attorneys who have assisted me in a variety of ways and their expertise and professionalism is second to none. I highly recommend them for all of your legal needs.

This is the best law firm in central Illinois by far. They have helped me out for years from Civil, to Criminal and have been my Corporate lawyer for almost 6 now. I do want give high praise for Brendan Bukowski for recently helping me out in a situation recently that could not have been better, he’s a really genuine guy that actually gave time and effort to my concerns of what I was going through. He’s a really good guy and I would put my trust in him. The entire Group is amazing I’ve had all A++ interactions with Mark Johnson who is literally the smoothest lawyer to ever represent me and his son Doug is an absolute boss! All the legal aides and front office desk help they have are always so nice and always help me when I need to get in contact with the lawyers. This firm is top notch and I don’t say that too lightly !! Trust them they will help you out

Best law firm around if you ever need them. They put so much effort in to make sure their client gets out of tough situations. Super efficient, quick and dedicated to their work. Mark Johnson was my attorney 4 months ago and now he’s family. The whole staff is very co-operative and put a lot of hard work to make the process quick. I recommend them 10/10. Only law firm who is not all about your money. I highly recommend hiring Mark if you ever need him.

The legal representation provided by Johnson Law group was outstanding. I was kept up to date on the status of a lengthy case without ever having to miss work to attend court and all of my concerns were promptly addressed. Mark, sensitive to our situation strategized and persevered through COVID restrictions against a party unwilling to bargain to ultimately obtain the outcome we were hoping for in the beginning. I will always return here for any representation and I would recommend the attorneys at Johnson Law Group to anyone who finds themselves in unfortunate situations. Thank You Mark!

The Johnson Law Group represented my nephew in the appeal of a DUI conviction. Mr. Johnson and his staff kept me informed every step of the way, and answered all of my questions with direct and professional responses. The work products were organized and concise, and they were on top of all of the issues. I highly recommend the Johnson Law Group.

Mr. Lonergan just represented my father with some serious charges we were very worried about.. he was pulled over with 3 ounces of Marijuana in separate bags for personal use.. he was taken to jail and charged with manufacturing/trafficking felony possession of 30 to 500 grams and a speeding ticket. Mr Lonergan fought in court for 2 courtdates and got his felony charges dropped down to one misdemeanor possession and 2 years of court supervision minimal fines.. he worked hard and wrapped the case up quickly, I would absolutely recommend him to anyone with a tough case or facing bogus charges. Great criminal defense attorney!!!! Thank u again!

Mr. Lonergan represented a friend of mine in a case that went to trial. The trial could have gone either way, but Mr. Lonergan got the case dismissed after the State rested. Mr. Lonergan did an amazing job, and we will always be grateful to him and all of his hard work. He talked us through every step of the way, answered all of our questions, and was completely honest with us the entire time. I highly recommend him.

John and his staff were professional and knowledgeable. I am very thankful for their help. They were always available to answer my questions and concerns.

Even with multiple postponements due to COVID-19 requiring additional court appearances my fee stayed the same. Mr. Lonergan successfully litigated my case through trial. His fees are reasonable and his professionalism top notch.

Jon Giraudo is extremely knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and displayed great understanding of my issue. Jon was able to guide me through the process for resolving my firearms issues with the Illinois State Police leading to my reinstatement.

Well I called Chris and we talked over my cases. Told me what he thought about it. And today he did exactly what he said would do. His rates are extremely affordable. A1 service for sure will hire if needed again.

Got me out of a jam when the case seemed unbeatable. Satisfying conclusion to my case.

I have to say Mr McCall is very good at his job, and when he tells you he is gonna do something he does that and more I was sitting on a felony charge and he got it dropped down to a misdemeanor. Not only that my brother was sitting on the same charge and he went out of his way and got my brother the same deal as me if there was ten stars I would give that to him and everyone that works at the office they are so nice and very quick to get back with you when you call. Me and my family thanks you Christopher McCall Your the best!!

Got a different response than expected but the attorney explained why to our satisfaction. The matter had to be tried in another state.

Completely attentive, Sensitive to your needs, Non Judgemental. Gives an aura completely opposite of any other atty. I have ever met. I would feel confident any day in the hands of Mr.Mccall or any one of his colleagues or staff. Amazing. Deserving of iconic status in the judicial system.

Our family highly recommends Attorney Eric Blatti! He was an excellent attorney to work with. Mr. Blatti was always very timely when responding to any calls, texts or emails if we had questions or concerns. He was very professional, understanding, flexible, patient and always provided clear communications back to us. Our family would never hesitate to recommend him to our family or friends or rehire Eric if we ever had another need.

Best friend you could pay for. Timely, responsive, understanding, flexible, professional, and prepared. If you need to get serious, and get something done, stop here. I would never ever hesitate to recommend or rehire Eric if I needed him.

I was extremely impressed with the outcome of my case. If you need a lawyer I highly recommend using Eric.

I am a fellow attorney in Will County where Eric frequently practices. When I have clients or friends with criminal issues I refer them to Eric. He is a skilled attorney and I know that anyone I send to Eric is in good hands.

Very responsive to e-mails. Explained any question I had about anything very clearly, while also letting me know what to expect but always reminded me that anything is possible. The outcome I was facing was a Misdemeanor that could have cost me thousands and that got lowered to a Petty Offense with just a few hundred dollar fine. Would not go with any other lawyer after this one!

Brian has represented me for a Misdemeanor Domestic as well as a Felony Domestic case. Both taken to trial and charges have been dismissed or a not guilty verdict! Brian knows what he's doing in the courtroom and stands with confidence. I have also hired him for a child custody case and have never questioned any approach he wanted to take for all of my cases. Brian is also very affordable with quality legal experience and it shines in the courtroom!

Brian Hiatt has been my attorney for some time now. He's very professional and understanding. He definitely strives for the best outcome, then delivers it. My certain issue took some time to deal w(not by his doings) but it was still worth the wait considering the other outcomes that could have happened instead. I already recommend him to others and I recommend him for you if you are in need of a great attorney and need him ASAP.

Hi! It was my pleasure to deal with Mr. Hiatt. Had two very serious cases and both got dismissed! I would highly recommend Mr. Hiatt as a very professional lawyer with huge experience! A person you can trust completely. He would definitely defend you in the best way possible! Thank you, Mr. Hiatt for the great work!

He's a great attorney he tries to do everything that he can to help. He took a case for my dad work with him on the payment and went above and beyond to help him out in his case.

Truly the best!

A toast for Tom! He saved my life for what i can afford great lawyer! Way to go Tom????????

Verrrry respectful and courteous lawyer.....!!! He was able to explain details about the case in a heartbeat I guess his background speaks for his name.... There definitely no need to call other lawyers very helpful and reasonable prices after speaking on the phone with him I was willing to go pay him and he said "no worries I'll save u the trip I'll see u the morning before court my office is across the street..." that shows the trust in the man... thanks!!!!!

I wish I had the same experience as the previous reviewer. But, Mr. Naughton completely ignored my case. He seemed to get the facts wrong and became angry at simple questions, I found it uneasy working with him. I am sure he was a good lawyer at some point, but I thought my experience with him seems like he is tired and burned out, and is now simply out to get money from people without doing the job correctly. I felt that he takes all the cases the same way and will not individualized people, like staying on cruise control I cannot recommend him at this point.

I think god for all you done for my daughter

This was one of the absolute worst experiences I’ve ever had with an “attorney” for any reason whatsoever, by far-without exception. Maybe he excels at the small stuff-DUI arrests, etc.-thus the glowing reviews. Or, perhaps those reviews are all bogus. I have no idea. All I can say is that from my experience as a divorce lawyer he was inconsistent at best to downright verbally abusive at worst…he actually screamed and hung up on me several times-although that never stopped him from charging for those calls-and he would also do the same in person. It was humiliating to be treated so unprofessionally (nice way to put it), while also going through a painful divorce after an abusive fifteen-year marriage. He did not fight for me, my child or our rights. All I asked for was a fair and equitable financial split and what I ended up with as the custodial parent (which was at my ex’s request) was complete garbage. I was the one who caught the vast majority of the finances my ex husband was just blatantly attempting to hide during discovery. I was the one who pointed out inconsistency after inconsistency on the settlement, parenting agreement-etc. And it’s not as if his services are cheap…I dealt with his paralegal the vast majority of the time anyway. She seemed infinitely more knowledgeable and her manner was more appropriate and likable. Go get yourself a real attorney who specializes in Divorce and family law. Do not waste one minute on this guy.

He always made time to answer any questions i had even outside my case. They have payment options as well. I was amazed of how well and fast my case got resolve.

1st contacts for legal help Scott suggested I go online and do it myself. After months and NOT able to do myself I called and Scott and Steve were in court as I was told by receptionist (?). She took my name and number and told me Steve would return my call. As of today it's been 6 days. Doesn't appear they are in the business of helping others. After sorting out the confusion ( a answering service not conveying my message) Scott has been in touch with me to help and expedite my legal needs. Very nice and professional. Definitely here to make a difference and help the people with their needs.

Lorena was fantastic! She was professional and was always looking out for the interests of my family. She helped us through our whole home buying process, but was especially helpful when our mortgage company was being less than professional and holding up our closing. Lorena stepped in and made sure we closed on time.

Scott was hard working and very professional. He puts lots of effort and time into our case. I highly recommend his services. Everyone in the office is very nice, phone calls get returned within a reasonable time. If we ever need a lawyer again we will call Scott!

19 y/o facing license suspension for 2 moving violation within 24 months. Joel said he would change my guilty plead to court supervision (I did not know I would get my license suspended for pleading guilty). He ended up getting the ticket dismissed entirely and off my record. Net, I spent very little considering the fee I would have paid to get my license back and driving school. In this, the state also wrote me a check for the amount on the ticket Joel got dropped. Very worth it and I highly recommend.

Highly recommend!! Joel Murphy is an excellent attorney very responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He truly cares about his clients and works extremely hard to get the best result possible. Joel is truly a one of a kind attorney that deserves the utmost praise. If you’re looking for the best, give Joel a call!!

Joel Murphy is the best Dui attorney. He has helped me twice and i felt very comfortable talking to him about my case and he was always available if i needed to ask him questions or ask for advice.

highly recommended!! Joel was able to get me back behind the wheel fast then I expected. I will definitely pass on his business to others in need of help. So grateful for everything.

Joel was very professional! And was willing to work with me under the circumstances which says a lot about him. Good man and could not recommend enough.. seriously!
