Doesn't work! Lies all lies.

Hired Mr. Hunter for daughter. He said he would investigate case and help get children back. Mr. Hunter did nothing but help DCFS. He lied to us the whole time. Now wants more money after he lost the right to children. When went to court we were humiliated and he thought that he did great. Mr. Hunter... not only lost in court and made case worse. He doesn't care about anything but making sure he gets money. My daughter lost her case and ended up in hospital and he called wanting to talk to her in the hospital because he fills untitled to more money. Please do not be like me and waist money. Very sad and heartbreaking.

DCFS attorney and family law

My experience with Mr. Hunter was a good one. He helped and is still helping me deal with DCFS case workers. I had a crazy case worker for my in home daycare who literally harassed me to the point I lost my business. Thomas Hunter stepped in and the harrassment has stopped. He always called me back, ...kept me Informed every time he talked to someone, left me emails, and was very considerate of my emotional state during the torture of DCFS. This entity has way too much power and you need a shark of an attorney to go up against this agency. I would recommend Thomas Hunter to anyone that needs to be protected from DCFS. Brenda N

Top Notch Attorney

Thomas W. Hunter successfully represented me in my divorce case and when I found myself in need of legal services 10 years later when all of the terms of the divorce were not being fulfilled I, of course, called Tom Hunter. My husband was difficult to deal with and very unreasonable. Thankfully,... I had Tom to keep on top of things and make sure I received everything that was rightfully due to my child and me. Tom Hunter is one of the best family law attorneys in the Chicago area and I was lucky I had him fighting for me. Tom and his staff were always helpful, friendly and understanding. Tom was always available to me by cell phone, and returned my calls promptly. I always knew what was happening in the case and Tom answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns. I recommend Thomas W. Hunter if you are in need of a family law attorney.

Greedy attorney

My mother was wrongfully accused of an incident that happened in her self licensed daycare whom she's run for 26 years. The incident had no evidence and no facts. DCFS was out for blood as that is what they do best. My mother chose to hire this attorney Thomas Hunter, I as her son chose to hel...p my mom by getting a $2000 loan to cover the start up fees for him to take her case. At first there was light and hope, then this attorney Thomas Hunter not only continued to charge my parents thousands of dollars with nothing to show as far as progress or information toward the status of my Mom's case. Excuses and claims that he was at the mercy of how long DCFS would process the case was all my parents kept hearing, weeks if not months would go by and this attorney continued to extort money from my parents. In present conclusion, now this lawyer wants another $5000, my mom can no longer afford to pay. Family has helped and given everything we can to prove her innocence. If you are someone who has had a great experience with this attorney and his firm, you must have deep pockets or any easy case to fight. Money is what keeps this attorney fat and wealthy, not his concern or empathy for his clients. My mom may very well lose her day-care, DCFS will win, and another innocent person will fall victim to how poor our justice system and greedy heartless attorneys like this man are. It's a true fact.....in the beginning it's about helping people.....in the end it's about how much you have to pay to get that help.
