Highly recommend this office!

We received a recommendation for Bruett, Reyes, and Thornton. Jonathan Thornton did our will and trust. He spent an hour on the phone explaining EVERYTHING to us. We contacted other folks that really shrugged us off after 5 minutes. I feel very confident in his ability and his guidance. Met everyone... in the office. They are young, dedicated lawyers. I highly recommend them. I am so happy that we got the opportunity to meet and work with him!

10/10 - Great Lawyer!

Jonathan was very thorough and detailed throughout my case. He spearheaded my divorce case and successfully pushed the case past the finish line despite the opposing counsels poor communication and unprofessional demeanor. Jonathan gave me so much peace about the case and I felt at ease about every s...ingle step of the process. When Jonathan took over my divorce case, it was the middle of the pandemic and he pressed on and executed each step diligently and accurately despite the extra hurdles that were presented due to the pandemic. I would hands down, 100% recommend him! He’s professional, considerate, thorough, timely, responds quickly and treats people with respect.

Will and Trust

Jonathan was really friendly, thorough, competent, etc. in asking the correct questions and then summarizing the law in IL about wills and trusts. He then completed our wills, trust, power of attorneys in just a few days. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Thornton Will Do Whatever It Takes to Help You

After firing two other attorneys who would not complete my divorce, I finally hired Mr. Thornton. He came into the later stages of the divorce and worked over a holiday weekend to prepare the MSA for a court date the next week. He did not tell me how my divorce was going to be (for example, forcing... me to take my husband's pension), and allowed me to make my own decisions. He was able to make changes in the MSA in minutes, which the previous attorney did not make in two months. He was responsive to emails and phone calls and has excellent support staff. I highly recommend Mr. Thornton to anyone going through a divorce.
