Angela Carlston I bought a house and only mildly lost my sanity thanks to Michael LaCava’s Team, legal wizards and part-time therapists. Buying a home sounded fun until I realized it involved more paperwork than a NASA launch and a glossary of terms I was pretty sure were made up. “Escrow”? “Title insurance”? “Easement rights”? Totally fine, definitely didn’t Google every single one at 1 a.m. Enter Michael LaCava who calmly and expertly walked us through every step, caught every little landmine buried in the fine print, and made sure we didn’t accidentally sign over our souls along with the property. He explained everything without sounding like a robot, responded to our 100+ mildly unhinged questions like it was totally normal, and even managed to smile at closing like he hadn’t already survived six deals that week. Special shout-out to his paralegal Jessica, who truly acted as our emotional support human. I’m not sure how many times she gently reassured us, chased paperwork, or told us “you’re actually doing fine,” but I’m pretty sure she deserves her own plaque… or a spa day. Long story short: I now own a house, no one cried (publicly), and I would 100% trust Michael and Jessica to guide me through this chaos again, though hopefully not for at least another 30 years.

Kris McMath DeWald Philip and his team at MMR have protected our business with sound business advice and strong work authorization contracts! I appreciate their knowledge and expertise!

Sharon Mott Yesterday I closed on a home and it was only because of Ryan at Merit Law. For closing, my mortgage lender was very last minute and non-responsive. My realtor did the bare minimum once I was under contract and was dismissive of several of my concerns. So Ryan (and Raquel as backup at closing) continuously went above and beyond filling in where others left gaps. He always listened, understood my concerns and helped me work through them. He worked toward solutions while others worked to minimize their own work. Like I said, I would not have closed without the team at Merit Law and Ryan in particular. He is continuing to support me even after closing. Highly recommend.

Nicole Hartseil She was so great. Very responsive with emails and phone calls whenever you need her. Going through a divorce is never easy but she gave me peace of mind knowing that everything was going to be okay. I highly recommend her for any legal needs.

Jayson Norton My experience working with Amber Gibbons as my legal representative. Ms. Gibbons represented me on two cases. Throughout both cases, Ms. Gibbons demonstrated exceptional legal expertise and unwavering dedication to my best interests. Thoroughout the cases, Ms. Gibbons exhibited remarkable tenacity and strategic prowess. Despite encountering numerous obstacles and moments of pure frustration, particularly in dealing with DCFS, she was there every step of the way with empathy and providing realistic reassurances. Im here telling you if youre on the fence or searching for the right attorney, make the jump, your search ends here. I highly recommend Ms. Gibbons to anyone seeking an experienced and compassionate legal representative. Her dedication to her clients and her ability to achieve positive outcomes are truly commendable

Markisha Clark Im so grateful for Ms. Stephan and her team. Everyone in her office is knowledgeable, professional, and extremely helpful. I knew she was the right choice for an attorney after the initial consultation. It was fully worth the investment and more!

stephen Meyer Jay was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful! He even did everything he could to help me get another vehicle and get a fresh start, started. I would recommend Jay and the bankruptcy clinic to anyone in need of this type of legal service. He was also more reasonably priced of others I talked too before I retained him. As I said if youre in need of this type of service give them a call, you wont be sorry!
