Stan Ochs Worked with Adam Crutchley on a few things, he was knowledgeable and was very respectful of my time. Would definitely use again.

MIDLAND & ASSOCIATES HOME INSPECTIONS Kevin had to step in and help my son when a scammer family tried to take advantage of him during a traffic accident. The attorney we originally hired in Champaign was the most incompetent attorney imaginable and the court proceedings drug in over a year causing endless stress for my son as well as additional legal costs. Kevin took over and within a few months the case was dropped. We couldn’t thank him enough for the job he did for our son. Highly recommended.

Stacey Totten Allan is very personable, yet extremely professional! If your in need of a "get er done tactfully, Allan is your guy!! I highly recommend him for anyone in southern Illinois!!

Tammy Brewer Amanda has been our attorney on several occasions now and I would highly recommend her. We had a pretty rough time with our first closing and she stood by us and helped us out with every problem that we encountered. She is very professional and definitely knows whats needed to be done to get you to the closing table. She is very friendly and down to earth. She made us feel like wed been friends for years from the first time we met her.

Lynne Noren Being involved in a bad car crash is a stressful event, but the process of dealing with the insurance companies afterwards can be even more stressful if you dont have a good attorney. I was fortunate to connect with Dan OBrien after getting recommendations from friends. Right from the start, Dan was able to provide a clear understanding of the legal process and how we would proceed based on the facts of my case. He kept me updated on all developments during the process and managed my expectations by explaining both the pros and cons of my case. My particular case was fairly complex, and Dan went above and beyond to explore any options that would support our case and provide the best outcome for me. In the end, we reached a settlement that was more than fair. I am extremely satisfied with all of the work that Dan did on my behalf. I would encourage anyone who needs an attorney to navigate the legal processes following an auto accident or other injury to contact Dan OBrien. He will be a superior advocate and will work tirelessly to get the best results for you as his client.

Brian Miller Great service

Ron Jackson I have worked with Jerry Lee and Terry Smythe for many years. I hold them in high regard when it comes to Real Estate Law. I have been involved in many real estate dealing with their firm over the last 24 years and I am always impressed with their candor, honestly, and accountability to get things done right! They represent their clients in the right way and I consider them one of the best Real Estate Lawyer teams in Lake County.

CG CISCY I turned to the Blake Law group to assist with the affairs of a deceased relative. The hourly rate for this firm is fairly high, but I figured that meant they would be efficient and keep the billable hours to a reasonable amount. That was not the case. I started to be suspicious of Mr. Blakes work after I was provided a document to review and it included information from a previous client. Even though Mr. Blake charged me as though he drafted a new document, it was apparent he just made a few edits to a draft he already had available. I was charged a few grand for something that was likely worked on for minutes. I suspect he did this with everything I paid for, make edits to recycled documents and charge a fortune. Also, Mr. Blake will charge a full billable hour for any email you send him, no matter how short, and he will also charge for sending a response back simply acknowledging he received the email. Another clever trick of his, is to bait a client into communicating with him unnecessarily in order to increase his billable hours. For example, hell provide a document for review and ask for input, but hell charge for reading your input and if an error is shared, like the ones mentioned above, hell charge to fix them. So its almost like this was intentional. I was charged to proof read his work and he charges to correct his own mistakes. Truly an amazing system. All in all, I had to move on from Mr. Blakes services because his fees were becoming too much. His fees were on track to exceed 50% of the total estate value. Something that shouldnt be allowed, especially in the case of modest estates. He may know what he is doing, but be warned, you will overpay for his services.
