Borsberry Law Offices, P.C. - Peoria (IL)

5 /5 Kristi V: I cant say enough good things about Joe Borsberry and his team. I would hire him again for any future matters, no questions asked. Our case involved our son, who is a minor, and I was taken back at how well he spoke with a child. He made our son feel comfortable and understood, while also explaining things at a level that our son understood the processes that were going on. From start to finish we were regularly updated on the case, never feeling like we were left in the dark. The fees were very reasonable for the services and follow-up provided.

1 /5 Summer Stow: Dont waste your money, did absolutely nothing for me, took all my money, and then gave me a bill saying i owe more, for literally NOTHING. Horrible communication, between Joseph and his staff. He told me in the beginning he could work with my case (child custody) and then took all the money, and said he never said that. We literally had a consultation before paying him, so he could see if my case was something that he could do, he said it shouldnt be an issue. The day I called him asking what exactly has been done, since they have "used" all of my money, he said "I think its best I remove myself from your case" So this must be typical for them, very unprofessional. All you got to do is google image this guy, and youll see that this is probably not the dude you want representing you. I dont even want to give A star... EDIT: commenting back to the response... I was chosen you guys through my job and their employee assistance program, this was not my choice. You also are NOT HOURS AWAY. Coming to court PREPARED IS VITAL, AND THAT IS SOMETHING YOU DID NOT DO. You did nothing at all, but drive to court, but nothing got accomplished or done. You are a crook.

1 /5 Jordan Thomas: He doesn’t deserve a star — he deserves a warning label. I paid a $3,500 retainer for Joseph Borsberry to appear in court a couple of times and handle my case, but I received almost nothing in return—no meaningful updates, no real progress, and very little communication. After making additional payments that brought my total close to $4,000, he abruptly decided to withdraw from my case at the very end, leaving me stuck and scrambling to find new representation. Let me be clear: his office does not communicate. Since my last court date on May 9th, I called 18 times—18 times—with no real answers, no support, and no indication anyone cared. Instead of doing the job he was paid for, Joseph filed a motion to withdraw and walked away like it was nothing. He also has an irritating habit of constantly interrupting when you’re trying to talk, making it clear he has little interest in actually listening to your concerns. Meanwhile, his paralegal Denise once emailed me saying: “This is a mess. BUT, we will get it straightened out. I will be honest with you, it probably won’t be over tomorrow. BUT, we WILL get it figured out and cleared up.” Those were her exact words — and not a single part of that promise came true. At one point after court, Joseph said, “Is it really worth fighting for if there’s only a couple hundred dollar difference?” Yes, Joseph — when it comes to child support, every dollar counts. That comment showed just how little he values his clients or the children involved. Even more concerning, they never secured a financial affidavit from the opposing party, so they lacked the essential, accurate financial information needed. Instead, they were willing to base child support calculations on rough estimates—an approach that’s not just sloppy, but completely unacceptable for competent legal representation. If you’re thinking about hiring him, don’t. He’ll take your money, waste your time, and leave you scrambling to fix what he failed to do. You’re better off representing yourself than trusting someone who won’t return calls, finish your case, or act professionally. No suit—even a pinstripe one—can make sloppy work and lack of commitment look sharp. Because he failed to do his job, I’m now forced to pay another attorney just to finish the work Joseph was originally hired to complete. He didn’t withdraw for any valid reason—he walked away because he didn’t like being called out for taking payment without delivering results. That’s not legal representation. That’s taking advantage of a parent doing their best to fight for their child. And honestly? I hope he stubs his pinky toe on the sharpest corner of a coffee table — a small but satisfying dose of karma for the stress and disappointment he put me through

5 /5 Zach Kuhn: I needed help with filing legal documents outside of my home area. After reading reviews and checking references, I decided to go with Borsberry Law. I was quoted a fair price on my initial inquiry and received a clear plan for my desired outcome. Most of my work was handled by Jennifer, the paralegal, who was outstanding. I always felt like my time was valued and that my needs were met. In the end, I was able to get the outcome I was looking for thanks to Borsberry Law. I highly recommend them for your legal needs.
