I had a consultation with Brandon Djonlich and he gave me great advice to put into action immediately. After first trying to solve the matter on my own using the information he gave me, I will assuredly retain him in order to pursue my goals. Thanks again, Brandon!

Susan Mark is very strong attorney. I strongly suggest her to hire for divorce. My wife hired Susan for divorce with me and Susan helped her to win the case even though I have all proofs. I changed 3 attorneys but none of them stand in front of Susan. I am positively suggesting . Without any doubt you can hire Susan and you will be in good hands

They got my case done in A reasonable amount of time. I would use them again.

Very happy I chose this firm. Extremely professional! I was informed every step of the way regarding my case. Would definitely use again and would refer to anyone who needs an attorney.

I had consultation with Brandon to go over a termination agreement after being laid off from my previous employer. I was concerned with signing such a large contract and wanted someone to review it with me and make sure that it was okay and wasn't a harmful agreement for myself. Brandon walked through each section of the agreement with me, and did a phenomenal job of explaining what the section meant and legal recourse that could happen to both parties for breaking said agreement. Overall, I am very satisfied and highly recommend Brandon for his knowledge, expertise, and professionalism. Truly seemed like he cared for me and my situation and ensured me that I had gotten a good agreement.

Will recommend to any friends or family that need legal assistance. Their attorney Andrew M Klass helped me in a tough time, and I am grateful.

I had the most positive experience from the moment I went in for my initial consultation. I went to this office with a tricky case that kept seeming to change daily with the drama of a divorce and a parenting agreement. Mr. Kozlov and also Mr. Shawn Monroe were so professional, helpful and patient I never felt unsure about any of my decisions because I was walked through what everything would mean long term and exactly what I was setting myself and my son up for. I truly felt they were behind me and that I was secure the entire time. Thank you a million times over. Would recommend them to any and everyone!

I am very happy to have found a great attorney like Mr. Kozlov Very knowledgeable and hard working. He helped me and my family in a legal situation. He will go above and beyond for your case. Highly recommended.

I've received so much valuable information just from the initial free consultation, Mr. Andrew Klaas thoroughly took the time to address my family situation from all legal angles and offered me further research tools. Very professional. Thank you!

Fedor Kozlov is extremely professional and works hard for his clients. I am forever grateful to have had him as my Attorney. Highly recommended.

Roger was my layer for a divorce. I was very satisfied. I don't think anyone "wins" a divorce but I was satisfied with the end result. It was better than I expected was going to happen. As further evidence, the opposing side was not happy with the outcome. I have ot assume Roger made a better argument and was better prepared. He was very fair on the billing. I never felt like I was being overcharged. He quickly responded to all correspondence. I would recommend him!!

I have known Roger Stelk for over 30 years. Roger is a well-respected family law attorney who is dedicated to providing excellent representation to his clients. Roger is a knowledgeable, experienced and exceptional litigator and negotiator. I have always found him to be well prepared and professional when working on opposing sides. I eagerly endorse and recommend Roger Stelk.

I had the opportunity to work with Roger for my first home purchase and truly had a wonderful experience working with him! I was a bit nervous, which I think we all can be, but he was very clear with explaining each and every page and was patient with answering all my questions. I've recommended him to a few of my friends and they have all had amazing experiences as well! I highly recommend Roger!

I have had the privilege of working with Roger Stelk on many of my real estate transactions. Roger gives his clients exceptional service, protects their interests, and also educates them. It is with confidence that I highly recommend Roger for any legal issues.

I have worked with Roger on many real estate transactions and he has always provided outstanding professionalism and his attention to detail is impeccable. I would highly recommend Roger.

Dave Schlueter was recommended to me by our realtor. In the beginning I was dealing with Dave's associates and all went well. I found the associates in Dave's office to be friendly, knowledgeable and helpful when I had a question. A snag occurred in the closing process and I needed Dave’s help to solve the problem. Dave was understanding and professional beyond expectations. He continued to reassure me that all would work out. To my astonishment, Dave went to work on the problem right away and within 24 hours the problem was solved and the sale of my house went through. Dave was the best lawyer I have ever worked with. He is a rare Lawyer in that he communicated directly with me and was always available when I called. He always returned my calls and he always listened when we spoke on the phone. If you are looking for a lawyer for your real estate transaction, I recommend Dave Schlueter. He's the best and will work diligently to help you close your sale.

Dave is extremely knowledgeable and will definitely help you to make the right decisions for your home buying and selling experience. He helped us 23 years ago when we bought our house and again helped us when we sold it!

Dave is always ready to help. I'd being doing business with Jim for over 5 years and he has not let me down. He is very updated and ready to help.

Fantastic lawyer. I have used him on multiple occasions for various different items. Always communicates what he is doing and quick to respond. I highly recommend Dave!

I highly recommend this firm for any of your probate needs. We had a complex set of circumstances and needed assistance right away. Jeff Kulinsky quickly acted on the information provided to give us the best recommendation. He was clear and answered all of our questions. I will definitely pursue his counsel again for other matters.

The firm represented me in a pro se divorce. They were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Everything went very smoothly. I high recommend them.

I had a very weird family business dispute, which basically meant I had to start from scratch and had to learn a lot from the legal aspect revolving this situation, and this firm helped me all the way through! Jeff was super cool and really walked me through all the possible options we could take and most importantly it was affordable compared to many others I called before here , Highly recommend!

This firm was highly responsive and professional. I was a pro se (self represented) client. They represented my husband and they were always courteous, patient and paid great attention to detail. Don't hesitate to hire them!

This should allow 0 stars! Kelly Wieczorek at this firm is very inexperienced and has no clue what she is doing. Also they are very intimidated by lies by the opposing party. They are not willing to represent a client in their best interest on a case! They will then withdraw on the case after one week! She also appears late to your important court hearing and is the one that caused harm to the case. It seems they will give anyone a law degree these days. All they care about is the financial benefit! Their response is all lies to protect a firm that will do Nothing in your best interest on a case. I highly recommend to find a better firm, there are many out there!

Wonderful firm to work with. Fought hard for my interest during divorce. I would use them for any legal issue they work on. Fast response and great ability to represent me as a client.

I am very thankful for the direct and caring approach of the Manassa Boyczuk firm. From Lawrence's benevolent, concise, & legal guidance to Kathy's professionalism, empathy, & litigation support, to Kelly's diligence compassion, & competency, to the gracious & helpful staff of Linda, Dawn, Brandy, & Jennifer - it has been a great experience. I've been greatly blessed through this Team.

I had a great experience with Manassa Hartman P.C. Lawrence did wonderful job. I felt protected behind him. The staff is amazing. I highly recommend them!

Larry is not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable attorney, but he truly cares about his clients. If you value integrity, I highly recommend Larry Manassa. You have the added bonus of a very efficient office staff who follow up on emails and questions in a timely manner, always respectful and willing to assist. Should I need legal representation in the future, I will contact Larry again with confidence that he is the best person for the job.

If I could give a zero star- I would. My husband and I hired Mrs. Kamman one year ago. Due to Covid- our court dates kept getting pushed out. After a YEAR- we finally were set to go to trial. This was a straight forward case- ONLY to modify my husbands child support order that was 5 years old. We provided her with everything she requested prior to court and were told she would “file” the necessary motions for us. Leading up to our court date- we could not reach her for status. No returned phone calls or emails. February 2021 we finally have trial. Judge calls our case- and she isn’t on the call. Judge says he will give an hour for her to get on, and join. We frantically start to call and email her- unsure of what is happening! After one hour- she is a no call no show. Judge ruled against us. We ask for a continuance and judge says “FOR WHAT- NOTHING HAS BEEN FILED ON YOUR BEHALF FOR THIS CASE”. Total jaw drop. A year of continued court cases and a stiff $3500 retainer with NOTHING to show for it. Almost three weeks later, here we are... and still NO common courtesy call or returned email. I’d advise against hiring this crook of an attorney. Contact ARDC and complain ASAP! This kind of practice is unethical.

I had a very positive experience with Mrs. Kamman as my divorce attorney. My case involved custody, a shared underwater home that was complex to get my name removed from (due to the mortgage company), and my wanting to maintain a positive relationship with my Ex. In other words, while it was a friendly divorce; it did involve several issues that needed legal expertise. Sue was able to provide that for me. Also Sue did an outstanding job presenting me in court. The McHenry county judges respect her and she has an excellent working relationship with them. She has the divorced court system memorized down to every detail and form. Recently my Ex passed away, and our child is still a teen. Sue was able to help and guide me on who to contact to take on this next complicated journey. She also was able to provide the estate attorney with the divorce documentation needed. It was very helpful to have her help during a very sad and stressful time.

Has taken my money but has refused to call me or respond to my emails for 2 weeks. You need to answer me you took my money. Edit only called me after this review and yelled at me that her email server went down. When I asked why she didn’t call she became irate. Very unprofessional. Note the unprofessional response as well. I only spoke with you, you never responded. Nor did I scream at anyone. Also why are you responding 6 months later at 1am?

I have been desperately trying to get in touch with my hired attorney, Sue Kamman, for over a month. Our last conversation she told me she was going to respond to my ex’s attorney the moment she hung up the phone, and she never did. Since then, she has not returned a single call, or email, no matter how much I try. This is an extremely difficult time in my (or anyone’s) life and by abandoning me after she got her retainer, she’s made it exponentially harder. Do your research, and understand that lawyers are exactly who you think they are. Especially this one. EDIT: After nearly 2 months since I’d posted the above review, I was able to finish out my divorce without the help of Sue Kamman. I had to go around her back in order to get things done because she would not act. She blamed server/email issues for her reason not for contacting me, for over 4 months. Not once did she return one of my many phone calls. Having given up on any help from Sue, I requested she withdraw from my case, so that I could represent myself and finish my divorce. She made zero efforts to do this, and when the court date came, the judge was waiting for her to show up to the zoom call for over a half hour. After my ex’s attorney pressured her, Sue joined the call, just to withdraw as my attorney. She still has over half of my retainer, and has done the bare minimum of work, and effort. If you ask me my opinion, Sue Kamman is a criminal, and a fraud. I’ve requested my retainer back from her multiple times, and I’ve again received no response. This practice shows absolutely no professionalism, or human decency. I am disgusted by her behavior and I hope that the ARDC investigates these claims, as no lawyer should be allowed to do this to anyone. Sue Kamman should be disbarred.

Extremely rude and unprofessional. Don’t waste your time. Attorneys are a dime a dozen, so find someone else who practices with courtesy and respect.

She has the divorced court system memorized down to every detail and form. Recently my Ex passed away, and our child is still a teen. Sue was able to help and guide me on who to contact to take on this next complicated journey. She also was able to provide the estate attorney with the divorce documentation needed. It was very helpful to have her help during a very sad and stressful time.

    Has taken my money but has refused to call me or respond to my emails for 2 weeks. You need to answer me you took my money. Edit only called me after this review and yelled at me that her email server went down. When I asked why she didn’t call she became irate. Very unprofessional. Note the unprofessional response as well. I only spoke with you, you never responded. Nor did I scream at anyone. Also why are you responding 6 months later at 1am?

    I have been desperately trying to get in touch with my hired attorney, Sue Kamman, for over a month. Our last conversation she told me she was going to respond to my ex’s attorney the moment she hung up the phone, and she never did. Since then, she has not returned a single call, or email, no matter how much I try. This is an extremely difficult time in my (or anyone’s) life and by abandoning me after she got her retainer, she’s made it exponentially harder. Do your research, and understand that lawyers are exactly who you think they are. Especially this one. EDIT: After nearly 2 months since I’d posted the above review, I was able to finish out my divorce without the help of Sue Kamman. I had to go around her back in order to get things done because she would not act. She blamed server/email issues for her reason not for contacting me, for over 4 months. Not once did she return one of my many phone calls. Having given up on any help from Sue, I requested she withdraw from my case, so that I could represent myself and finish my divorce. She made zero efforts to do this, and when the court date came, the judge was waiting for her to show up to the zoom call for over a half hour. After my ex’s attorney pressured her, Sue joined the call, just to withdraw as my attorney. She still has over half of my retainer, and has done the bare minimum of work, and effort. If you ask me my opinion, Sue Kamman is a criminal, and a fraud. I’ve requested my retainer back from her multiple times, and I’ve again received no response. This practice shows absolutely no professionalism, or human decency. I am disgusted by her behavior and I hope that the ARDC investigates these claims, as no lawyer should be allowed to do this to anyone. Sue Kamman should be disbarred.

    Extremely rude and unprofessional. Don’t waste your time. Attorneys are a dime a dozen, so find someone else who practices with courtesy and respect.

Hands down one of the best decisions I made, was to hire David Kerpel to represent me in my recent divorce! David Kerpel is an exceptional attorney. One of those rare finds whom combines his legal expertise with phenomenal interpersonal skills to offer his clients quality services. Divorce can be a turbulent time, and the stability David provided through his extreme knowledge, professionalism, reliability and commitment to finding resolutions was invaluable. In addition, David guided me through the entire process with the utmost patience and compassion, clearly defining every legal term as needed to ensure I felt like we were a team, and yes, David fights hard for his team! I am forever grateful to have hired David!!

I am not an English native speaker, I come from China. My case was very complicated and difficult case. I interviewed so many attorneys, some of them have decent titles. But after a brief conversation with David Kerpel, I decided to hire him without any hesitation. He is very knowledgeable, thoughtful, strong sympathy, think quickly. Attorney of ex-husband was very tough and also very experienced, but no matter opposing counsel how tough she was, David always very calm, respectful and control the situation quickly even though my situation was extremely passive. I am come from another country and don’t know anything about the law here, ex-husband was divorcing me by email when I was out of United States. He relocated to another state to open his own company. I did’t know how much marital property we had and how much he earned after he filed the divorce. I speak and wrote the broken English. You could imagine how difficult and passive my situation was. But David can understand me and my situation completely, he used appreciate and accurate words to express my meaning to judge. David is patient, Strategic, insightful, righteous, he smoothly helped me from beginning through the process step by step, then quickly to grasp the chances, David has the ability to turn things around make the situation turn out be good for me. He is hard working, respond my email and messages very shortly, patient to explain to me about all my questions and concerns. My son is American who is stay in China rather than in USA during this long divorce process, my physical condition also was bad, ex husband require our son back to USA but he doesn’t want too much parenting time. David has strong sympathy and consider all the facts for me and my son. Earning as much benefits as he can for me and my son’s future. The final result is beyond my expectation. Thank you David, there is no any other attorneys can make this settlement done perfectly! During the end of case, I was under a lot of pressure, I had a little different opinion with David for some certain decisions , I was insisting to do my way. However, the truth proved that David was right, his professional perspectives can see the whole picture. When you hire David Kerpel, you just need do one thing: Trust him! Thanks for all your helps, I really appreciated it and feel lucky

During an extremely difficult time for my family and I Mr Kerpel was always helpful, responsive and honest. We always felt he listened well and always felt he was an advocate for us. I don't imagine there are many easy or pleasant cases in family law, but Mr. Kerpel made things as easy as he could for us. We were satisfied with the outcome of the process and would be quick to recommend him should anyone need his services and expertise.

David was strategic and realistic in handling the issues in my case. He has excellent attention to detail and picks the battles that make sense. My case was long and drawn out. Once the major issues were settled, David pushed to bring it to a reasonable conclusion in the shortest possible time.

David Kerpel is extremely patient, compassionate and empathetic. He has a profound knowledge of the law, taking great pride in his work, ensuring that his clients will achieve the best possible outcome. He is highly resourceful, approachable and actively listens to his client's concerns, returning every phone call and email in a timely manner. He never abandons his position until he is fully satisfied with the final result. His dedication to his clients continues even after the final determination is made, providing them with invaluable contacts in numerous fields, to help guide them in making each new transition as easy and stress free as possible. David is a truly accomplished professional in his field and possesses the quality of making you feel comfortable from the first moment you meet him. I would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone who finds themselves in need of a Family Law attorney.

He realizes that not every speaks “Legalese” and helps to make sure you understand everything that could potentially happen on a case. Highly recommended.

Michael Domain was my second attorney during my divorce. He was professional, kind, informative and a calming presence throughout my divorce. He explained things to me (sometimes more than once!) when I was unclear or simply overwhelmed with the process. Michael guided me without pushing me in any direction except the one that made sense for me The divorce process is hard and can be confusing but Michael  made sure I understood each part to make the best choices for me. He protected me and my interests at all costs and kept the other attorney spinning in his tracks. I was more than impressed. For the first time, I have been given confidence and stress relief. He truly treated me like a friend that he's going into battle for. He defiantly believes in what he strives for. Not that I ever wish to go through divorce court again – but Michael Domain will be the top recommend to all of my friends and family. Sincerely Vita

I am truly thankful to Michael Doman and Leo Sokolov for their professionalism, assistance, dedication, support, effort and a hard work . I had a wonderful experience with your office and your staff during the most difficult time in my life, going thru the divorce after 21 years of marriage. I highly recommend Michael Doman and Leo Sokolov to anyone who is looking for an experienced divorce attorney.

Michael Doman and his associates represented me during my divorce and with family law matters since then, and he has been able to deliver and obtain favorable judgments for my situations. Michael has a lot of unique experience and he is able to leverage that experience when the case becomes complex. I highly recommend Michael if you need an attorney who understands the intricate nuances of Illinois family law.

Before I hired Mike Doman and Leo Sokolov, my divorce case was looking messy. This in part being that I had a 19.5-year marriage, I had never contemplated divorce and previously hired incompetent council lasting 18 months. I wasted a lot of money learning. My own naive self and unfamiliarity with the process combined with my wife hiring a Master of Rhetorical Sewage Creation put me in the position of needing a Superhero fast or I would likely soon die from exhaustion. Mike Doman is an impeccable Divorce Lawyer and his firm is outstanding. Upon hiring Doman Law to represent me, I was stunned at how quickly and effectively they learned, organized and retained all of the truthful details in my case during our subsequent discussions. His partner, Leo Sokolov, I will affectionately label as someone who performs the task's similar to an "in-flight data recorder"...capturing every detail while leaving nothing to guesswork as my case progressed. Leo is a true research master, a skilled lawyer and valuable asset with a remarkable disposition. Mike Doman went to work and removed the emotion. He immediately identified my case components breaking them down into three parts. He explained to me what the law says and together we worked relentlessly on a strategy to accomplish the goal of judgement in less than 60 days. In addition, Mike Doman and Leo Sokolov shut down and all but stopped the opposing council’s rhetoric and untruthful nonsense... quickly sending a "New Sheriff in Town" message to the other side and affirming that I was not going to participate in their psychological mind games and useless, untruthful, inflammatory words. This is a KEY factor in divorce proceedings... it lowers your fees. Mike Doman and Leo Sokolov brought clarity, truth and conviction to all of the front-line issues. We executed perfectly and to the best of our abilities with the greatest good in mind for all. That's how it's supposed to work. That said, the divorce process is and will continue to be painful... the last thing you want is someone who embellishes your own pain trapping you in your own anxiety which will likely drive you unknowingly further away from making the right choices for you and your family. You can go get a divorce lawyer or hire a professional and get it done efficiently and respectfully. Choose wisely... choose Doman Law for their competency and professionalism. Thanks Mike and Leo.

We hired Michael Doman to represent us in our custody case after being represented by an attorney who left us with more questions than answers and who gave us little hope. Michael was the complete opposite! He is very responsive to emails and phone calls and was willing to meet with us on our schedule. He really fights for you and wants what is best for the whole family. I would highly recommend Michael because he is an attorney who goes the extra mile and will answer your questions with in-depth answers and in a timely manner.
