My wife and I were married for several years before we decided to have a child and we agreed we needed some more supports in place for our daughter. Slightly intimidated by the prospect of estate planning, Eric Matlin was a godsend in this process. He was a confident, consummate professional. Eric was patient and reassuring while explaining our options and laid everything out for us in straightforward language. Eric Matlin is a wonderful estate attorney. Competent and efficient, I highly recommend Eric Matlin and Matlin Law Group without reservation.

I am a lawyer and former law school classmate with Eric Matlin. That's why I chose Eric to be MY lawyer and write my estate plan. I have personal knowledge of Eric's exceptional legal skills, his attention to detail, and sincere caring for his clients. The office staff is very friendly, responsive and helpful. If you want a 5-star law firm to handle your estate plan needs, I strongly recommend you call Eric Matlin Law Group.

Friendly staff reasonable prices

I highly recommend Matlin Law Group! I first went to Eric Matlin years ago when my children were very young and I was newly divorced. I knew I needed to get my things in order, but had hesitations and so many questions. Also, the idea of preparing a "will" and assigning people as Trustees and Executors was somewhat frightening and very overwhelming to me. That first meeting with Eric was the beginning of a long relationship. I'm so thankful and grateful that he was referred to me. Since taking care of my own personal matters, I've referred Eric to my mom and sister who are now his clients also. I recently met with Eric to update my portfolio now that my children are grown adults and new decisions and changes needed to be addressed. Eric's entire staff is friendly and accommodating. Even when I had to change my appointment twice, they were kind enough to work around my schedule. Eric is very thorough, respectful of my situation and extremely intelligent. He provided me with options and suggestions I hadn't ever considered so I could make informed decisions. I'm so relieved knowing that I'm in good hands and appreciate Eric's knowledge, advice and follow up. I have such peace of mind knowing that all of my affairs are in order. There are not enough good things I can say about Eric!

I have worked personally and professionally with the Matlin Law Group for over 15-years. Eric and his team are exceptional estate planning and family law attorneys. I have sent many of my clients to the firm over the years and have heard terrific feedback regarding the experience as well as a high value for the cost of services rendered. Highest Recommendation!

Bott and Associates were highly recommended by our nephew, a financial planner. We were not disappointed! They are most knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and gave us great options and suggestions befitting our special circumstances. With our concerns, hopes and wishes, we have now been given peace of mind in terms of what is best for ourselves, and our family. We are most grateful and thank you again for the Living Trust and very well organized, detailed Estate Planning documents. Elena Wijangco

Maritess has been my lawyer for many years. She is smart, hard working and highly responsive. Recently I needed some work done quickly and her whole office jumped in to help.

Maritess. Bott and the staff at Bott & Associates are friendly and respectful. The office is very comfortable, with offerings of drinks and snacks if you should have a slight wait, which would be rare. Appointments are very much on time, they expect you and greet you with honor and respect. The advice I seek is always in mine and my families best interest, and the work that is done on my account is exceedingly done in great taste. I am totally please with the help and the expertise of this Association. I would highly recommend all of their services. Regina Santora

I have nothing but praise for Bott & Associates. Maritess was of course professional and knowledgeable. But more than this, she and every member of the team were patient, kind, relatable and just all-around great to work with. I highly recommend them for all estate planning needs.

I want to commend the staff at Bott & Associates for the way in which they administered the signing of the POA documents last week Friday. The document coordinator was extremely helpful to my parents, and she offered me very sage advice as I continue the journey of caring for them at this time in their lives ("Take care of yourself, so you can take care of them.") Also, I wanted to mention that I was equally impressed (and inspired!) by Marites's library and offer to take any books that a person saw as appealing. What a wonderful way to share her faith and views! My mom was not comfortable with me taking anything from the office, or I would have gladly taken a couple of the books to some family and friends that could use a different perspective.

I would give everyone high marks for quality, value, and professionalism. They were able to maintain professionalism while making me feel like “one of the family”. I highly recommend

We're expecting our first child and wanted to make sure that we had our estate planning on the right track before he arrived. After discussing our goals, Patrick provided us with a comprehensive plan that not only addressed all our current needs, but also had the flexibility to account for future events, both expected and unexpected. He then patiently walked us through the plan and answered any questions we had. Because of the pandemic, we did this all remotely, which Patrick made very easy for us to do, and Patrick even had a safe socially distanced set-up for when we had to sign the papers in person. We would recommend Patrick and his firm to anybody who is looking to start an estate plan.

Everyone who works at Ross Law Firm is not only very professional, but selfless and humble. They are experts in their field, very patient at explaining the details of estate planning and have perfect attention to detail. I am so grateful for their services.

Bob, Patrick, Daniel, and Jamie were so kind and pleasant to work with. Bob and Patrick spent a tremendous amount of time answering and clarifying my many questions, both over email and the phone. They were very patient and really knew how to take my wishes and translate them into the living trust. Everything was done so efficiently and with great detail. I really had a great experience working with Ross Law Firm, and I would highly recommend them!

I was apprehensive starting this process because I knew I had to get get these documents but wasn't sure of which ones or how. Patrick made this entire process very easy to understand by walking me through the process step by step, explaining everything in layman's terms and taking the time to respond to all my questions. I had quite a few questions and he took the time to answer each and every one with patience and detail. He responded within 24 hrs if not earlier. He's very knowledgeable, able to get hold of easily, attentive and accommodating due to COVID so we zoomed and socially distanced signing papers as needed.

Wow. Talk about going above and beyond and without hesitation!! Piercey & Associates, Ltd Provided my family with the most outstanding and professional service! Jolyn was always on top of everything and great to work with. Our family had a very crazy and hectic situation in purchasing our home and let’s just say they had our backs the entire way!!! I highly recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again! A must to have in your corner!!! It was a pleasure and will definitely use again if need be!!!

Michael and Jolyn handled the sale of my old house and the purchase of a new one. Both transactions required more than the average amount of attention. Jolyn was always one step ahead taking care of things before I even had to ask. She was very diligent in pursuing many people who didn't respond or respond quickly. Extremely professional and responsive. Very patient with all my questions and explaining things in terms I could understand. I highly recommend Piercy & Associates. Michael and Jolyn were fantastic; always going above and beyond. I can't say enough good things about them.

I had a great experience working with Jolyn Schiola and Michael Murphy at Piercey & Associates for both the sale and purchase of my new home. There were several complications in both transactions and Jolyn was always responsive to my questions, gave excellent advice and was all around a pleasure to work with. Michael came to the closing, walked me through the documents and answered my questions. The most important thing is they will make you feel protected and taken care of like you are their most important client. Highly recommend!

Michael Murphy and Stacy McCormick helped us with the legal side of a house purchase. Stacy was very helpful and efficient in handling the preparation of the documents. Michael represented us perfectly along the way and went through the documentation with us at closing. He did this with high professionalism and great attention to detail. Not to mention that both of them are very friendly and ready to help. We highly recommend the services of Piercey and Associates Ltd

I can’t recommend Attorney Murphy and his office enough! I’m a first time home buyer and Jolyn made the entire process so easy to understand! They are responsive, helpful, and very attentive to all of the minute details required of real estate transactions. Michael walked me through each page of my closing documents and made sure everything was in order. Thank you both so much for making home buying a rewarding experience!

My experience with this law firm was positive. Flexible, accommodating, professional and friendly. Would recommend!

My wife and I had a great experience with Metz + Jones. We utilized their services for the second parent adoption of our newborn son and were incredibly pleased with the communication, timeliness, and ease of the entire process. We will absolutely be using their services again in the future. Highly recommend!

The team at Metz + Jones helped us with our estate planning and wills. They have always been great, Carol Jones is professional, responsive, and takes as much time as necessary to explain the entire process. We always felt very well taken care of with her firm and we will continue to use their services for all of our needs in the future. I highly recommend Metz + Jones.

Carol provides the benefit of a big-firm background with the attention to detail you would expect only at a small firm. Carol makes the time to explain the intricacies of the ever-changing family law implications. I have worked with Carol on behalf of a wide variety of my clients, and she provides significant value and saved my clients at all levels of the family law process. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Carol Jones was our attorney for our first home purchase. The property was being sold as part of a bankruptcy which, we learned the hard way, ended up being a more complicated process than the purchases our friends & family had experienced. From the beginning Carol was great. She explained in great detail what the standard process was and was always responsive to any questions we had. Unfortunately for us, the attorneys working for seller were not as attentive, and never treated this sale as a priority. We regularly faced delays as the other lawyers missed deadlines or failed to respond to messages. The only thing that prevented the purchase from being a complete disaster was Carol. She was relentless in pushing the other lawyers, following up on delays, and was always ready to answer our questions about the status of the sale. Throughout it all Carol put us at ease with her dedication and professionalism. I don’t know if we would have our house today if Carol hadn’t been there help us navigate the process. We would recommend Metz & Jones to anyone.

    My wife and I had a great experience with Metz + Jones. We utilized their services for the second parent adoption of our newborn son and were incredibly pleased with the communication, timeliness, and ease of the entire process. We will absolutely be using their services again in the future. Highly recommend!

    The team at Metz + Jones helped us with our estate planning and wills. They have always been great, Carol Jones is professional, responsive, and takes as much time as necessary to explain the entire process. We always felt very well taken care of with her firm and we will continue to use their services for all of our needs in the future. I highly recommend Metz + Jones.

    Carol provides the benefit of a big-firm background with the attention to detail you would expect only at a small firm. Carol makes the time to explain the intricacies of the ever-changing family law implications. I have worked with Carol on behalf of a wide variety of my clients, and she provides significant value and saved my clients at all levels of the family law process. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Carol Jones was our attorney for our first home purchase. The property was being sold as part of a bankruptcy which, we learned the hard way, ended up being a more complicated process than the purchases our friends & family had experienced. From the beginning Carol was great. She explained in great detail what the standard process was and was always responsive to any questions we had. Unfortunately for us, the attorneys working for seller were not as attentive, and never treated this sale as a priority. We regularly faced delays as the other lawyers missed deadlines or failed to respond to messages. The only thing that prevented the purchase from being a complete disaster was Carol. She was relentless in pushing the other lawyers, following up on delays, and was always ready to answer our questions about the status of the sale. Throughout it all Carol put us at ease with her dedication and professionalism. I don’t know if we would have our house today if Carol hadn’t been there help us navigate the process. We would recommend Metz & Jones to anyone.

I used Lauren Sanuw to close on my condo purchase and she was so helpful. As a first time homebuyer with no experience in the field, I was overwhelmed at what I was about to go through. My personal situation was also very time sensitive. Lauren made the whole process really comfortable. She explained everything to me in depth and in language that I could understand. She provided information that I didn't know I even needed to know during the purchase of real estate. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. She was kind, honest, reliable, and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be using Lauren's services when needed in the future.

Lauren was very helpful in guiding me through the estate process and home sale after the death of my mother. She was very competent, practical, and made complex things simple for me. I will not hesitate to use her again if the need arises.

I bought my first ever home using lauren as my attorney and she was very professional and always helped with all my questions and made closing for my home a breeze, since then my inlaws and parents have moved close to my home also using sanuw law and all had great experiences, we are trully grateful and would definitely recommend.

My wife and I used Lauren when we closed on our house. Our closing was complicated and involved a lot of extra work, and Lauren was very professional and communicated with us and the realtors in a very timely manner.

Karyn was so attentive and helpful during the entire process. She was so professional and caring, and she took the time to clarify any questions we had. We trusted her completely and couldn't have done it without her help! Thanks, Karyn!

Karyn is excellent!!! She helped me through the process of buying my first home. She answered all my questions and was always easy to get in contact with. It was great to have her on my side. She helped me navigate the process of a for sale by owner agreement, and she handled the termination of that agreement after a bad home inspection. She carefully checked documents at closing. Karyn is a pleasure to work with, and very sharp. I would highly recommend her.

Karyn was amazing to work with. Buying and selling a house in parallel is not easy and Karyn was extremely helpful. Any questions or concerns I had she answered immediately, which gave me a sense of comfort knowing she was always there. She is well versed in all things real estate and I would highly recommend using her services if you're looking for an attorney.

Selling a house isn’t easy. Inspections, paperwork, and dealing with buyers requests is a lot to handle. Karyn made all of the paperwork and interactions so easy, it was as painless as possible. She’s thorough, kind, fun to talk to, and sharp. Karyn helped make sure nothing was missed for the closing. She patiently answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. That’s important! She was recommended to me and I’d recommend her to anyone. Thanks, Karyn!

Karyn did a 5 star job for us. We had some things come up that made our situation far from normal, but Karyn took care of each item and made us feel like we were dealing with an Attorney who was completely focused on us and our issues. By the time we closed, I felt like we had made not only a great choice, but had made a friend as well. Choose Karyn, you will be glad you did! We love you Karyn!

Tuohy Law is the best place to go, in my case for setting up a living trust in Illinois. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but the firms I considered did not inspire confidence. A neighbor who retained Tuohy Law for similar work was happy to recommend Tom, and it’s a pleasure to give the firm a top rating. I had a great experience. Tom is a lawyer who inspires confidence and explains everything in plain English. Shelly, who runs the office, is very efficient and helpful. Both are friendly and put the client at ease. I was very satisfied with the whole experience.

Tom has been handling the Living Trusts for three generations of our family for many years. Over the years he has seen us through starting businesses, moving homes, growing our family, and the loss of loved ones... always keeping us well protected and making the process of updating and executing the trusts understandable and simple for all of us. He is amazingly knowledgeable and also wonderful at explaining in a way that we can all understand. He has earned our trust time and time again. We know he always has our best interests at the forefront of all his guidance and he will always be there for us whenever we call - to answer our questions, handle whatever situation arises, and put our minds at ease. A great attorney, a great man, and someone you will be glad you chose to look after your interests.

The entire staff at Tuohy Law Offices is very friendly and responsive via email or phone. I had a Trust and Will drawn up. Amazingly fast turnaround with any of my questions or concerns. Mr. Tuohy takes the time to explain everything and he even answers emails himself, which is unheard of in other law offices. He and his staff are never too busy to help. I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future. Highly recommended.

Very good job well worth the peace of mind

My husband and I are very happy with our trusts and wills set up by the Tuohy Law Firm. Everyone at the firm has been more than professional and a pleasure to work with. They answered all of our questions without judgement and we get follow up emails to ensure everything is as it should be and if we have any questions. They paid close attention to detail and made us feel very comfortable as this is our first time creating these documents. My husband and I give them our highest recommendation.
