    My experience with Maxine was great from start to finish. Easy to communicate with and we developed a well thought out plan to get what we needed out of a legal dispute with my ex wife. Maxine was very thoughtful though out the process and did not waste my time or money unless it was necessary. I highly recommend their firm.

    I highly recommend this law firm for any divorce matter. They were not only knowledgeable but added a personal touch by caring about my daughter and I. My family was overall taken care of and we are very thankful.

    Brad & Maxine were very professional and extremely responsive. I never had to follow up because they were always one step ahead. While I had hoped my case would’ve been shorter, I feel like their approach caused me less financial burden in the long run. I have had 3 previous attorneys who fell short and this firm was by FAR the best I have ever dealt with. They explained everything in layman’s terms and were sensitive to not incur additional legal fees. I highly recommend them. Family court cases are never easy but I’m so happy I chose WKO to represent me. You will not be disappointed!

    The entire Team at Weiss-Kunz & Oliver were very professional and great to work with during a very difficult time in my life. Appreciate their patience and professionalism; would highly recommend them to anyone looking for representation. Best of luck to everyone; stay well and safe.

    Amanda and Gabrielle are a fantastic team and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing their expertise. My divorce was nothing short of brutal; however, they went above and beyond every step of the way and I am so extremely grateful to have had their representation.

    I would highly recommend Hurst, Robin and Kay. Olga Allen is my attorney; she has helped me through the toughest time in my life. She is extremely dedicated, productive and knowledgeable. She has helped move my case along, not leave it sitting stagnate. She fights for my family and has been successful in helping get my child the services he needs.She responds to email within 24 hours and offers a variety solutions to all correspondences. I have worked with a few other and none of them compare to HRK. Outstanding FIRM!

    John Kay was my divorce attorney and he was very attentive and was always there to answer any questions that I had. In this weird time, where everything was done via phone and zoom, he made this a very smooth process. I would highly recommend John and Hurst, Robin & Kay if you are need of an attorney. Great experience overall.

    Brian Hurst and his staff represented me during a complex, grueling and bitter three-year divorce battle. Mr. Hurst's professionalism and knowledge of the law is only outweighed by his sincerity and honesty. During the entire process I was treated more like family instead of just another "client." At trial I could not have been in better hands as I was astounded by his confidence, expertise and court room presence. I am extremely happy with the end result and would highly recommend Hurst, Robin, & Kay to anyone who wants world class legal representation.

    I highly recommend John Kay and his legal team. I felt confident with John as my attorney representing me. Hurst, Robin, & Kay LLC is professional, caring, and straight to the point. Everything was done in a timely manner and I was given patience when needed. I am happy with my representation and my results.

    John Kay was a great help in my custody litigation with my ex wife. John was very professional and gave great advice in regards to my case.

    Jessica Marshall was beyond attentive, understanding and professional. I could not have been in better hands and am truly appreciative of the way she handled my case and getting me the outcome I came to her for! I highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again if the need arises!

    Jan Boback was a great lawyer. She responded in a timely manner and answered all of my questions ( and there were a lot ). She's incredibly professional and takes her job seriously. I would definitely recommend her if you are in need of such services during a difficult time.

    I recently worked with Jessica Marshall. She was informative, available, kind, and tough. I felt supported and she defintely knows what she is doing and how to get the job done. Highly recommend this firm.

    I would avoid this firm at all cost! I hired Anderson and Boback in November 2019 after being served with a divorce petition which did NOT involve children My initial consultation was with Janice Boback who related that she was experienced in defending prenuptial agreements and thought that she would be able to have a degree of success with the one that I had sent to her. My financial future depended on the success of defending the agreement I had on file. She touted her experience in this area which was what convinced me to hire her. In January 2020, (after paying Boback approx. $8000.00) I received an email explaining how another (much less experienced) attorney was going to be assisting Boback on my case. That was the last correspondence I had with Janice Boback and I was essentially dumped to a junior lawyer who admittedly never defended a prenuptial agreement in a court of law. By the time I realized that Boback had sneakily removed herself completely from my case, I was already $12,000 into this firm. I had expressed by disgust in an email to the firm, but was informed that the only resolution would be to discuss this matter on a conference with 4 attorneys, not with Boback herself. In August 2020, after nothing proactive was done on my case, I made the decision to reach an agreement with the opposing party because I did not trust my lawyer’s ability to litigate my prenuptial agreement. We had a Zoom conference with the opposing attorney (whose practice primarily focused on wills and probate) where we were absolutely schooled by him. My attorney was unprepared and had zero arguments to counter the financial figures presented by opposing counsel. Ultimately, I created and presented an offer which was accepted by opposing counsel. This was done with absolutely no legal strategy or recommendation by my attorney. In short, this inferior legal representation cost me $23, 000.00 in legal fees from this firm. I would definitely NOT recommend this firm under any circumstances as your hard earned dollars would be spent much more wisely on quality legal representation. I also believe that hiring these big divorce firms is a scam and a money grab. Strongly consider hiring a good solo practitioner where there are not so many hands in the corporate cookie jar.

    I have used other law firms in the past, and I can honestly say that none of them compares to the work of Alexandra. I now understand how crucial it is to have the right counsel by your side. She is by far the best counsel I’ve ever had. She was on top of my case since day one, pays close attention to details, and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Alexandra is deeply knowledgeable and with her experience, she has made my case get positive results. I will forever be grateful to Alexandra C. Brinkmeier. Alexandra Thank You!!!

    My situation was very tough and needed a strong professional attorney. Mr. Arami and his team took care of my situation and settled my matter better than I would have expected. I feel like I have my life back and I can move forward without my situation holding me back. I highly recommend his firm for his dedication to his clients.

    Mr. Arami is one of the most professional attorneys I have dealt with! He is very passionate and puts his all into his work. He was very responsive to each and every one of my questions and concerns, his team was very sweet and empathetic. I would HIGHLY recommend this law office!

    I've had many attorneys over these past 20 years give me the run around this attorneys and his staff finalized my motion to terminate child support in a matter of weeks. His staff stayed in contact with me and were always available. Thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart to the top of my paycheck.

    Arami Law is the way to go. I wish I would have known this earlier. I've gone through 4 lawyers from other firms in the past already. I even fired one of them on the stand. However, the level of competency Arami Law functions at is unparalleled. The way they represent you is air tight. I witness them win battles in the court room for me daily; Im talking hard fought battles, in real time. These guys are battle tested. I'll put them up against anybody. I'm totally satisfied with Arami Law.

    Kourosh is hands down the best lawyer you could ever ask for. He fights for your case as if it’s his own. Marriage is itself a struggle, let alone a divorce, but I guarantee you that Kourosh will take care of it. Consider the first marriage practice, but the Arami Law team a pro at divorce!

    Excellent professional service. Matt Linstroth ably served as my advocate, while always keeping watch of the goal; a peaceful just settlement. He maintained a positive attitude and gave good sound advice. Had we known that the opposing side had been secretly reading our confidential emails, we may have obtained the normal 50/50 split rather than the resulting 47/53 split. The opposing side made good use of inside information to repeatedly negotiate an agreement and then retract and demand more. Matt characterized their actions as frustrating and less than principled. It was only after sending Matt an email stating that I had enough of this behavior and was ready to wait for our court date that the agreement was reached and honored. Had Matt dealt with an opposing side that played by the rules, I certainly could have had a better outcome. Knowing now what we were dealing with, I am all the more grateful to have had him as my advocate.

    I am an estate planning attorney in Arkansas. One of my clients is in need of assistance regarding a family law issue. I called Katz and Stefani and was greeted in a warm professional manner. The young lady on the phone was able to connect me with Lisa, a legal assistant, for a short consult regarding my client. Lisa indicated she would speak to a lawyer and be back with me shortly. Lisa called me back this afternoon. If am every in need of assistance with a family law matter in the Chicago area Katz and Stefani will be the first law firm I call.

    Andre Katz has been my lawyer for over 20 years. During that time, he has handled many difficult and trying situations for me with compassion, professionalism, and the utmost in skill. Andre has truly been in the trenches with me. The lawyers that work with Andre are also highly skilled. Amanda Clayman is awesome. I cannot say enough good things about Katz & Stefani. They are best in class.

    Zachary Kafoglis handled my case with a great deal of integrity. I never felt alone in my quest for full custody of my children. Zach was prepared for each and every step along the way and made me feel 100% comfortable. As a 50/50 father and with all the odds stacked against me, Katz & Stefani persevered and I ended up with full custody. I would recommend Zach and this firm to anyone looking for the right legal representation.

    Terri has an excellent breadth knowledge and acumen in the field. Honest and very hard working. Doesn't cut corners and is very dedicated to her work. And a great lady too!! I would highly recommend her.

    He doesn't respond to emails He does nothing but show his face He loves using " let's play nice " and unrealistic He doesn't fight like if he is your attorney He doesn't follow your request He resigned when asked what exactly did you do for me !

    Best lawyer around tbh, he tells you how it is, gives you a realistic outcome on what may happen doesn't B.S. when it comes to your case. Because of him, I'm able to have my rights as a father, couldn't thank this man enough

    Very upset I had high hopes as I was recommended this lawyer by one of his family members. I called and scheduled an appointment I drove 45 minutes and called because I was having trouble finding the office. The receptionist asks my name and says she doesn’t have me down for an appointment I was confused cause I had just made the appointment a week prior. Her response was I called and you didn’t answer so I filled the spot with someone else, I did not receive a call from her or a text. So I just drove 45 minutes for nothing and I get to drive 45 min back with no answers to my legal questions or a lawyer.

    Would give him less than one star but google won’t allow that.

    Best lawyer ever !

      Very upset I had high hopes as I was recommended this lawyer by one of his family members. I called and scheduled an appointment I drove 45 minutes and called because I was having trouble finding the office. The receptionist asks my name and says she doesn’t have me down for an appointment I was confused cause I had just made the appointment a week prior. Her response was I called and you didn’t answer so I filled the spot with someone else, I did not receive a call from her or a text. So I just drove 45 minutes for nothing and I get to drive 45 min back with no answers to my legal questions or a lawyer.

    I came to Marie Fahnert with a difficult divorce challenge and detailed to her specifically what I was hoping to accomplish. She was forthright about where I should set my expectations (as they were initially both too high and too low) and we began developing a sensible legal strategy that allowed me to do some of legwork (to keep fees reasonable). What I quickly discovered is that Marie is a hard-working (and sometimes overworked), thoughtful, honest family law attorney. There is no glitz or attitude or pretense. I always felt like I was getting straightforward counsel. Two particular areas of her practice deserve praise. She shines in her research, writing and preparation. And her firm is mostly paperless utilizing the web application Box to create virtual file cabinets to share communications and documents with her clients. I always had access to every document related to my case. Do not be dissuaded by the fact that she is a younger attorney. She has honed her courtroom presence, never seeming flustered by grumpy judges or overzealous opposing counsel. While her hourly rates are not cheap, I still felt her services were a true value. I couldn't be more pleased with the partnership we created and the results of our efforts. I highly recommend her.

    Ms. Fahnert was contracted to complete a simple process that she was asked for over a year to do that was a part of her contract with me. She refused to do the simple task. I paid anothe lawyer a nominal fee who was able to do the task in 3 weeks. Her work was pathetic and terrible otherwise as well. Stay far away.

    Marie is a smart, thoughtful, effective attorney who approaches law the way you would want your advocate to represent you. Above all, she is a person of integrity, who approaches things calmly, strategically and with a solid understanding of the law. Integrity in the field of family law is a rare quality; there are so many ego-maniacal, self-serving, self-dealing attorneys out there. You never know if they are out for you or out for themselves. People get so caught up in divorce; they think they have to file this motion and that motion. Most of it is nonsense and just serves to jack up the fees of the attorney, who will gladly tell you why you should be at "war" with your ex. They then start a war for you that nobody can win and everybody, but the attorneys, lose. Marie won't do that. She will counsel you, help you, empower you to make good decisions for yourself. It is the most important thing you could ask for. And, if your ex starts a war against you, I can not think of anyone more effective than Marie at stomping out that fire and getting you safely and reasonably out the other side. Marie is the attorney for people who have a life and want to get on with it, rather than spending every last bit of energy fighting it out in the courts. I could not recommend Marie more highly.

    Julia is really nice and effective. The entire firm is professional and impressively friendly. I would definitely go back for my own future cases(if any) and recommend others.

    I'd recommend Marie Fahnert as a Chicago divorce lawyer. She has an impressive understanding of the law and is a great legal partner.

    A year ago, I thought I was done for when I was served for custody of my son. I began to look for lawyers in my area and I am beyond blessed to have found Sean and his law firm! After my first meeting with Sean, I felt such a relief knowing I was in good hands. My lawyer Hannah was amazing beginning to end! She was very knowledgeable and responsive to my millions of questions! The whole team shows the most care for their clients and the case, I would definitely recommend them to anyone in search of a family lawyer! If needed I would come back to Sean! Thank you for everything!!

    This review is for Sean Chaudhuri He has been a great attorney. Divorce is hard enough on a family and the most important thing to me is feeling like I have someone fighting for me and my children. Someone who makes me feel like they genuinely care about how our future turns out and is knowledgeable and prepared to represent us and achieve the best outcome. He is a great communicator and always available when I need to talk as well as being very well organized and prepared. He has done a great job and I would recommend him to anyone entering into a divorce.

    I have much respect to the entire team. Sean, Angela, Oliver, and everyone here was amazing and the support was stellar! They advocate and fight for you. I highly recommend this firm and team without reservation. No doubt about it!!

    I hired The Mehta Law Group for a uncontested divorce, all of the paperwork was drafted in the time promised and the court date was shortly after, Mr. Chaudhuri sent one of his associates no issues everything went through as promised, would give this law firms name and number to anyone looking for a divorce lawyer, very happy with the work they did

    My fiance and I made an appointment over the phone yesterday with a young women whos name I cant recall. We drove over an hour to address she gave us in skokie that I couldn't even find online. We showed up this morming unable to find them and when we called we were told we dont have an appointment.

    Van Schwab represented me in my divorce in 2020. He was very honest with case and communicated very well about my options. He is very sympathetic, patient, and listens to the needs of his client. His office staff were great to work with over the year. Van understands that family matters are difficult for all parties, but his primary concern is his clients. I enjoyed working with him over the last year. My case was settled in the Lake County Court system.

    Mr. Schwab is a great lawyer he stuck with me from start to finish. Every time I thought we were getting taking advantage of by the other side, Mr. Schwab had a plan already figured out. He and his office were always quick to respond to all of my concerns and questions. Thank you Mr. Schwab, I appreciate the professionalism your time and hard work you put into my case from start to finish.

    Van Schwab was very responsive, patient, and made my divorce as easy as possible. I was on a time crunch and he was able to get it done as soon as he promised. I would highly recommend this office.

    When my twin brother was diagnosed with Parkinson's, his wife of 37 years found a boyfriend and decided to file for divorce. He was devoted to his marriage, his children and his faith. His decision to choose an attorney was based upon his faith. My brother chose a very kind and compassionate attorney. Van Schwab took great care, guiding my brother, with patience and empathy, allowing him his dignity, throughout the process. As my brother's disease progressed, I had to step in and help him online. I live several states away, he and his staff kept me informed as to how to help my brother, always knowledgeable and professional, thorough in the process of the complexities of the law, never making me feel inadequate. Van Schwab became more than an attorney to my brother, but also a friend. He had my brother's best interests at heart, as he helped him navigate through a challenging situation, and ending with a fair settlement. I would highly recommend his expertise to anyone dealing with a difficult divorce.

    Van is a great guy! I new nothing about court rooms or attorneys but Van lead me through with great confidence and ease! While working through a particularly tough divorce case Van shined when I needed him most, in the courtroom! Thanks Van, you made a positive difference in my life for many years to come! Sincerely, Kevin

    Bradley Kaye is an amazing lawyer! He cares about his clients and gets the job done! He is very well educated and uses his time well. His personality makes it very comforting to be able to talk with him. I can’t thank Brad enough for everything he has done. It’s been a long and stressful journey and Brad always made sure to talk through everything with me. He made sure I understood what was going on. I’m very happy with the results after a year of going through court!

    Melissa Caballero is the attorney to hire for your divorce / custody case. My case was very high conflict and started with an emergency. Melissa and Jonathan swiftly returned my child to me and exposed the false narrative my ex tried to create within days of taking on the case, so we could start working toward long-term resolution. Their quick thinking and action in the beginning set the tone for the whole case. Despite the constant efforts by my ex to frustrate the process, Melissa stayed focused on the facts - this is why you pay for good representation - Melissa could easily filter out all the distractions and threats while protecting our child, and me. I am SO happy I found them early on...I don't think I would have the positive outcome I have now if I didn't. Melissa was on top of everything, and could easily pivot our strategy when needed. She is very established and is respected throughout the family court system, and that goes a very long way. Melissa understands the law inside and out, and it was clear early on that following her advice was the way to go. I really cannot recommend Melissa and the firm more highly, and I'm so grateful for their representation.

    I couldn’t have asked for a better Attorney. Melissa Caballero put me at ease from the start. She was always attentive, and always made time to answer all of my questions. This calmed my nerves as she explained the process she would take at all times. I was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. She fought hard for me going above and beyond to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thank you all so much!

    Melissa Caballero and Josephine Norton represented me in my recent divorce. The quality of their representation is impeccable. They truly care and were very comforting and sympathetic. During this transitional time in my life, knowing that I was getting the best legal representation was a huge relief - it allowed me to focus on rebuilding my life instead of worrying about the divorce. I could not imagine better attorneys. I highly recommend using them.

    Almost two years of working with Josie and I couldn’t be any happier. Josie was with me through the entire process. It’s a good feeling when you know your lawyer genuinely has your best interest at heart. She took control of the process and did what needed to be done when it needed to be done. She was very understanding and was there when I needed her. I never wanted to be in this situation but I’m glad the way it turned out, so thank you again Josie, you and the entire office!!
