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!

Review
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

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!

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.

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.
Review
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 is also very affordable with quality legal experience and it shines in the courtroom!

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.

Review
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!!!!!
Review
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.

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.
Review
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.
Review
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.
Review
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.
Review
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.
