The Law Office of Marjorie Sher - Waukegan (IL)

5 /5 Kasia Kondracki: Marjorie is very well organized, straight forward, and knowledgeable. She has helped me a lot over the years, and I cant thank her enough for all shes done for my family. Her staff is kind, well organized, and everyone communicates well there. During a time when I was going through a lot of stress, she helped encourage my self confidence and strength. She has been my attorney for over a decade now and I intend to lean on her expertise as needed in the years to come. Highly recommend.

5 /5 Joseph Falcone: MY HIGHEST RECOMMENATION! Marjorie and her team are the best! If you need a knowledgeable, dedicated, and responsive lawyer who is personally invested in your case, The Law Office of Marjorie Sher is the way to go. As a single dad of two girls, with seemingly insurmountable odds against me, Marjorie fought hard for my family and Ive had custody of my daughters since we started working together in July 2018. I joke with her that if I sent out Christmas cards every year, she’d be at the top of the list! Definitely recommend—your search is over with Marjorie and her awesome team!

5 /5 Rodney Holmes: After a year-long, emotionally draining legal battle, I can confidently say that hiring Marjorie Sher was the best decision I made. As a father living out of state, I faced what seemed like impossible odds in reconnecting with my two children. The case was complex and filled with obstacles, but Marjorie never backed down. She worked tirelessly—often outside of regular hours—to ensure every detail was covered and every filing was timely. What sets Marjorie apart is not just her legal expertise, but her unwavering communication and dedication. She kept me informed at every step, explaining the legal process in clear, compassionate terms, and never left me feeling in the dark. Her ability to build trust and maintain strong professional relationships with judges, opposing counsel, and court personnel was instrumental in achieving a positive outcome. Thanks to her relentless advocacy and deep understanding of family law, I am now reunited with my children. Marjorie not only gave me a legal victory—she gave my family a second chance. I’ll forever be grateful for her hard work, integrity, and heart. If you’re looking for a lawyer who truly cares and delivers results, look no further.

5 /5 Shannon Hoffmeister: I retained Marjorie for representation in an extremely high-conflict, post-decree custody matter. From the outset, her professionalism, thoroughness, and strategic insight were evident. She consistently demonstrated a thoughtful approach, took the time to listen, and responded to every inquiry with clarity and timeliness—never leaving me to feel that my case was unimportant. Marjorie came to every communication and court appearance exceptionally well-prepared. Her depth of experience showed in how she analyzed complex issues, anticipated challenges, and navigated each step of the process with precision. She is also extremely organized, which brought clarity and calm to what was otherwise a daunting and overwhelming experience. Throughout, I always felt supported and effectively advocated for. She brought the experience and guidance I needed during a very difficult time. In working with Marjorie, I can now say I feel my child is safe—and that his needs have been heard. I only wish I had found her sooner.

1 /5 Caroline C: Disappointment in Marjorie’s services is an understatement for how I feel. The past two years of being represented by her have been an absolute nightmare. We were referred to Marjorie through a mutual friend who had a brief experience with her—one in which her true services were not revealed. I wish I could turn back time to erase this experience and instead choose a qualified, morally guided human being. I hired Marjorie to uphold a previous court ruling from my divorce decree. To make a long story short, what seemed like a straightforward case lasted two years and was heard by four different judges. Additionally, during those two years, she failed to protect my assets related to the case—a simple motion that, I later learned from other attorneys, could have been filed to safeguard them. She never even mentioned this option to me, which I believe was negligent. Over two years, I had only a handful of calls with Marjorie to discuss my case. Every time a call was scheduled, her office would inform me that another retainer was due, as she had already exhausted the previous one with busy work. Imagine how that felt for two years with absolutely no progress. Marjorie approached every conversation as if I were the criminal in the case. She spoke down to me, questioned my information, and offered no helpful strategies for moving forward. I often had to remind her of important details I had already provided to her. There was no sense of care or loyalty. On numerous occasions she would ask me, “What do you want to do?”—which I found baffling since I hired her as my attorney to advise me! So unprofessional. Not only was she unsuccessful in my case, but she also blamed me for not asking her to seek clarity from the judge within 30 days of the ruling on issues I had already explained to her and supported with evidence in my exhibits binder. She had everything she needed to help me be successful, but chose not to. To top it off, in our last phone call—where she again used a rude tone—she told me she didn’t agree with one part of the judge’s ruling that was in my favor (a small benefit, I might add). She literally said she didn’t think I should have received it! I had her repeat herself twice to me because I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Marjorie, who I paid $40,000 over 2 years and lost my case, was not happy for this small benefit to me. This was a slap in the face to me. Absolutely pitiful behavior. I hope my two-year nightmare doesn’t become someone else’s. If you’re looking for an attorney to stand by your side with loyalty and provide professional guidance, Marjorie is definitely NOT the one. Not only did I lose my case, but I also feel betrayed. It’s an awful feeling I hope others never have to experience.
