Honest, caring, and upfront!!!

I can’t say enough about Josh and is whole staff. He took care of me for my divorce. Josh made sure that not only was everything fair for me but fair for my ex wife as well. My ex and I get a long so I wanted to make sure this was done amicably. When something came up that wasn’t fair for me he add...ressed the issue and took care of it right away. Josh always returned my calls and emails in a very timely manner. Thank you to Josh and staff for what could be a horrible experience and made it as smooth as possible. I would refer my family and friends to Josh for sure.

Best in Illinois

Joshua was originally referred to me and I now understand why. Going through a divorce is stressful for anyone but Joshua really helped fight my case. He was diligent, responsive and very attentive to my concerns. He was always punctual to court hearings and our scheduled phone calls and he independe...ntly followed up with opposing counsel if there were any delays. I will continue to refer him to anyone I know for legal matters. Truly Joshua is the best lawyer out there for your matters.

Excellent representation

I retained Joshua’s services as the attorney for my divorce proceedings. Josh was thorough, dedicated, managed things during the dissolution proceedings in a professional manner, and as expedient a manner as possible when interacting with other parties. He always answered my questions and addressed ...my concerns thoroughly and with great attention to my needs as his client. I don’t think I would have felt as comfortable, or as satisfied, with another attorney because Joshua came to the table with compassion and with a view to achieve my goals to the best of his ability. I always felt that professionally he used every tool possible throughout the proceedings. I would thoroughly recommend him to any client. His compassion and dedication is evident from the initial consultation to the present day where he has left the professional relationship open to any further need to retain him as counsel, and I applaud his commitment to his clients throughout the entire process for which they retain his services.

Excellent Attorney

Joshua is one of the best attorneys in the business. He took great control and good care of my case. I honestly felt no stress during the process and I was well advised. At the end of my case, I was completely satisfied. Whatever your situation, he will take good care of you.

Fantastic Representation

Josh has represented myself and my children several times during my contentious divorce and custody proceedings. He has been fantastic. He is always organized, articulate, well respected in court. He knows what he is doing and how to handle things. I never had to worry he wouldn't be prepared or hav...e our best interests in mind. He was easy to talk to and even get ahold of when needed. His experience makes him a very valuable attorney in this realm. I can't say enough good things about him or this firm!
