Rockford Divorce, Criminal, DUI, Family Lawyer | Vernsten Law - Rockford (IL)

Debbie Hansen Attorney Gregg Walters and his paralegal, Rachel were both exceptional. I was appointed executor to my dad’s estate. When selling my dad’s home, Gregg assisted me with the paperwork I needed . He made the closing of the house easy for me and my siblings. He guided me through the estate legal process. He prepared all of the documents for the court and he explained my responsibilities as executor.. Gregg is professional and very understanding. He explains everything thoroughly. Rachel was very helpful to me also. She was always available to assist me.. I recommend this law office. My siblings were also very pleased with the handling of the estate.

Evelyn Faircloth My husband and I have used Jesse Barrientes for several Real Estate transactions, Wills and adoption. He is extremely knowledgeable, sharp, personable, thorough and very trustworthy. His advice throughout the 10 + years have been invaluable. Jesse Barrientes genuinely cares about his clients. We highly recommend him.

Mikhail Filatov Meentz Law truly helped us out of a tough situation when a vacation rental company attempted to unlawfully withhold our deposit. After my own efforts to resolve the issue were unsuccessful, Frank stepped in and drafted a clear, professional letter that quickly demonstrated the company’s error. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, but the entire team was also courteous and accommodating—especially given the short notice. Every staff member we interacted with was kind and efficient, and a special shoutout goes to the Slavic receptionist, who was especially helpful. We’re grateful for their support and look forward to working with Meentz Law for our family business needs in the future.

Amanda Hair I hired Todd for a gol. First impression was a rough start, he definitely knows what hes doing though. I loved working with him. Hes in it for the kids and has their best interest in mind. It was a tough case, he managed to see the truth of the matter. I highly recommend using him. Thank you for your help, and time.

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.

Timothy Risner Amazing people. Very Professional! I couldn’t be happier I highly recommend them! You need an attorney? Give them a call! You won’t be sorry!

Big Daddy Very professional and effective family attorney. Hands down the best and most experienced family attorney in the area, bar none. Extremely knowledgeable, very serious, highly respected by judges, and exceeded all expectations by a mile. I am a father who fought in a mommy state and won by a mile. 10/10 money well spent

NIUHOY Caryn Barone was exactly who I needed to handle my divorce from a high conflict ex. My case had been ongoing, in and out of court, for 6 years. I was on my 2nd lawyer who was amicably dropping me as a client due to exhaustion with my case and Mrs. Barone was one of their recommendations. She stepped in and ran with things with a fresh set of eyes, a plan, and was reasonable both in price and her recommendations on how to proceed. Through her I was able to FINALLY get my case out of being stuck in the endless cycle of court dates. She uses common sense approaches and experience to get things taken care of in a timely manner which costs less in the long run. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for family law help even when it seems things are at their most difficult!
