Howard Peritz

If you really take reviews seriously. Run!!!! He is not professional at all. My divorce should have taken six months but because he didn't take action right away, it took a year. He didn't have the letter serve. I has to chase him down and then do the work myself. Thank God it's over. I won't recom...mend him to anyone. I had to have him correct my name twice. He couldn't get the video to work before the judge. I end up being last and I didn't know if I was going to get divorce or not. Please run. It's your fault if you don't

Howard was the worst lawyer, and one of the worst professionals I have ever dealt with. I contacted him to do estate planning and set up some asset protection for my family. He was great at first and recommended a solution, and the moment I paid him everything went to hell. What was supposed to take ..."a few weeks" took 6 months, was done incorrectly, and I had to contact a second attorney to contact him to provide the services I had paid for. He made errors in our wills, he forgot numerous times about meetings with my family to sign documents (wasting two hours round trip driving), gave possibly 15 promises in email regarding when I would have documents, and every one of them were broken. At some point he stated that my documents had been sent but did not receive tracking information.....they are considered "Lost by the post office" to him so God knows if he actually sent them out and someone has my estate planning, or if he just gave me one more BS excuse. I am currently paying someone else to undo some of the work Howard did and correct it. The new practice stated he used cookie cutter templates that did not even speak to IL laws correctly. He is unorganized and has no customer service skills. I wouldn't recommend him for anything.
