I had the pleasure of working with Josh Haid and Toni Conrad for my divorce and was pleased with the service and timely manner in which it was resolved. They helped me to better understand the legal process and make educated decisions based on my situation. Josh and Toni were willing to take the time to answer my questions in-depth and provide guidance.

Josh and Shay were amazing. I always felt in the know and like things were explained well, and I was given an accurate view of what could and would likely happen, never just told what I wanted to hear. Both Josh and Shay were professional and caring in my difficult time and always made me feel important. They continued to work with me even with times were tough both financially and emotionally and I appreciate their dedication even 2 years post decree with the continued craziness that happened.

Attorney Morgan Gay was efficient, highly professional and extremely knowledgeable of family law. She always made time to fully answer my questions and address any concerns. She gave advice and guidance in a straight-forward genuine manner. She was extremely supportive and worked hard to keep my case moving forward even with extreme opposition from opposing counsel. Attentive from beginning to the end of the case.

Stay away from this group. I paid big money to get nothing. I was only told this is the best we can do for you. Cost of my divorce about killed me .I still have to go back to court to get my belongings.

I feel lucky to have had Jacqueline as my attorney. My case was extremely stressful, and I felt helpless before her. She put me at ease once she started working with me. Jacqueline promptly answered any questions I might have. She worked hard making sure all the paperwork needed for this case was available and ready. Especially at the circumstances we are facing. We constantly exchanged calls and emails on making sure things are going as planned, and this made the devorce experience better that it was. She is great with communicating via email or phone calls. I feel like she was there for me and without Jacqueline I could not make this journey. In addition, she is very professional and very well-informed of her family law. Jackie was the greatest attorney I ever met, and I would recommend to anyone looking for a friendly attorney. Hani.

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.

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.

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.

I have known David Daudell for years. He is professional, succinct, and a fearless advocate for his clients.

Ever since I got my legal service from the office of David Daudell I have gotten everything I have waited for. I have never had a better legal service than them. I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed.

I got a case for more than a year whit no resolts and I'm calling them no answer. I'm looking for my money back

Huda was great to work with. Any questions that I had, she was always available to answer. I would definitely work with Huda again.

I have been in business for almost 40 years and have used many lawyers over those years. Mr. Daudell is a real "pit-bull." I have seen him argue against 3 lawyers vs. him and he did GREAT! Even the judge commended him on his knowledge of the law. He is a FIGHTER and very fair on his fees. I highly recommend him for all legal issues. He has no ego and if needed will reach out to others should the need occur.

The care and precision him and his para Victoria took is impeccable. I had others try to help never worked. He communicated with my ex who was ugh ???? got her to go through with it. There is no other attorney I would recommend. Also the communication and updates were amazing as it is scary process but they put me at ease and was 100% calm and understanding. Thank you so much Scott and Victoria!

"I am highly recommending the law offices of Scott Tzinberg & especially Gretchen Schrader. They helped me forever terminate maintenance with my ex-wife. Gretchen was beyond professional, helping me step by step while helping me understand the law and keeping me non -emotional. Her attention to detail, along with her professionalism make her such an outstanding attorney. I whole heartily recommend them. I would be happy to speak personally with any prospective clients about what an amazing job Gretchen & the team did." Forever Grateful, Joe C

I highly recommend Scott! I started the divorce process with another attorney. A few months in and the process wasn’t going anywhere. Scott was highly recommended to me. My initial intention when I scheduled a call with Scott was to get a second opinion. Instead, I ended up switching attorneys. Scott was able to reach a verbal agreement with the opposing party within days. He responded promptly to all my emails and addressed all my concerns. I am now happily divorced. I can’t thank Scott enough for that!

You want Scott in your corner. Scott was referred to me by a trusted friend to handle my divorce. Filing for divorce was one of the most challenging and important decisions I’d ever made. I knew I was going to be in for a battle, so hiring the right counsel was critical. From the very first conversation to the one we had just yesterday, hiring Scott was the best decision I made in the whole of the divorce - aside from getting divorced to begin with. Scott made this incredibly complex situation understandable and manageable. He was responsive and timely in our communications. At every point of the process Scott helped break down the byzantine laws so I knew exactly what was going on. Perhaps most importantly, Scott treated me and my children as actual people who needed help and relief. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and I recommend him without reservation. You can’t do better than Scott.

I am so appreciative that Scott Tzinberg was recommended to me when I needed to return to court to compel my ex-husband to hold up his end of our agreements. Scott understood the outcomes that I wanted and employed a strategy that achieved those goals. His memory is impressive, as I gave him a myriad of details about my case, I never had to tell him something twice. In fact, he reminded me of things I had forgotten. He was well prepared and argued my case very effectively in court. Even when he went into the judge's chambers, I always felt completely informed. In discussions with opposing counsel, I felt he kept my best interests in mind (which has not been my experience with other lawyers). I also felt Scott was a good steward of my funds. He used everyone’s time efficiently and effectively. I hope I never need to set foot into court again, but if I do, I know who I will call.

I have had a very good experience with Bradford & Gordon. They handled my divorce as well as a pre-nuptial agreement for my current marriage. I felt that they were invested in my well-being (personal, financial and emotional) throughout the entire process, and that they were fair, honest and direct at all times, which I greatly appreciate. I have since referred them to several friends and friends-of-friends, who also have positive things to say about Derek, Mitch and their team.

2.0 stars Posted by Paul December 9, 2019 While Mr. Bradford seemed very supportive and enthusiastic when I first retained him, his attention to my case dwindled as it went forward in court. As time went on I found it very difficult to get a hold of Mr. Bradford in a timely way, even as some conflicts with my ex required a timely response. When my case eventually came to its climactic appearance before the court Mr. Bradford handled himself very poorly before the judge, to the extent that the judge became very angry at Mr. Bradford and ordered him to sit down in the spectator's area and remain silent. I was left to speak for myself as my case was settled. Mr. Bradford then asked me not to mention what had happened to anyone.

Derek is a honest, reliable savvy divorce attorney. He was a strong advocate for me and my children. He was an excellent steward of my time and money and available whenever I needed to consult about an issue. I have recommended him to a number of people and would be willing to recommend him to more!

It appeared Mitchell Gordon and his team were very thorough and helpful when taking on my case which had been delayed in pre-trial court for 2 plus previous years. I thought I had found a good, ethical representative for me, but when the time came to 'negotiate' with the trial judge and the ex's unscrupulous attorney, the monies I was told I would be getting paid back to me, for example: monthly support from my ex, court ordered to me during the divorce in which he refused to pay, $40K the ex deceivingly took out of one of our joint accouts which I had pointed out to Mitchell and ask him to go after (in which he said he would), but did not, $70K the ex had accused me of stealing and told I had to pay him back, in which I had provided evidence to the contrary numerous times and was told I was cleared of, plus other items totaling ~$300K, Mitchell Gordon let my ex walk away with. I was yelled at, threatened, gas-lighted and told if I didn't pay the ex these monies, I would be forced to go to trial. All that this attorney wanted to do was end the divorce proceedings quickly no matter what it cost me. Do not believe any attorney who tells you they will make sure you get the funds owed you 'at the end' of the divorce. It Never happens. After a 30 plus year marriage as a stay at home mom of 3, my disabled son and I have had to now figure out how we will live on much less than we were promised and suppose to have received, but never will. In addition, at one point I was told by this attorney that he did not need my business, because I was not receiving very much in the settlement anyway and he had many other wealthier clients. This did not seem to matter though when I asked him to forgive $10K of my very large last invoice, but he refused. I ended up paying this attorney over $64K to finalize a divorce where I ended up losing ~$300K to my ex which belonged to me and my son. Beware.

I can't control whether or not my client's ex spouses write reviews on Google under fake names, but that has happened here. I have contacted Google and they will not remove the reviews made people's fake identities (Tom Son). I appreciate my actual client's that gave me a fair and thought out review.

    I have had a very good experience with Bradford & Gordon. They handled my divorce as well as a pre-nuptial agreement for my current marriage. I felt that they were invested in my well-being (personal, financial and emotional) throughout the entire process, and that they were fair, honest and direct at all times, which I greatly appreciate. I have since referred them to several friends and friends-of-friends, who also have positive things to say about Derek, Mitch and their team.

    2.0 stars Posted by Paul December 9, 2019 While Mr. Bradford seemed very supportive and enthusiastic when I first retained him, his attention to my case dwindled as it went forward in court. As time went on I found it very difficult to get a hold of Mr. Bradford in a timely way, even as some conflicts with my ex required a timely response. When my case eventually came to its climactic appearance before the court Mr. Bradford handled himself very poorly before the judge, to the extent that the judge became very angry at Mr. Bradford and ordered him to sit down in the spectator's area and remain silent. I was left to speak for myself as my case was settled. Mr. Bradford then asked me not to mention what had happened to anyone.

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 !

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.

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

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!
