Great attorney!

had Josh represent me for over 2.5 years and I cannot say enough good things. He was a great attorney, very responsive, always kept me in the loop, and always made me feel at ease when going into a court date. Of course you always want an attorney that's on your side, but you also need someone to be... realistic so you know all possible outcomes of the situation. In the end, we were able to get what I was asking for and I am beyond happy to be done with this situation! Very rarely, Marc would need to stand in if Josh was out and he was just as a great!

Terrific lawyer!

Joshua was not only competent and thorough, but he made litigation less stressful because of his compassion and demeanor. Very smart, very responsive to the client. He fights for the client while being fair. Would recommend him to anyone for litigation .

Visitation during Covid-19 Pandemic

Joshua was hired to re-instate visitation that was still arbitrarily denied by a mother in spite of Illinois removing lockdown restrictions. He performed with persistence, without compromising the best interests of the child and the father. He was very prompt in all written, phone and e-mail communi...cations to all parties involved. He clearly distills issues and positions without ambiguity, but also with honesty and integrity.

FAST ACTING AND DOWN TO THE POINT!

I am extremely please with Joshua Schwartz's representation. Divorce was not a pleasant event of my life jet having Joshua conducting it for me was making everything worry free and smooth. Fast acing, professional and down to the point communication was a key for me! Thank you Joshua one more time... for delivering 100% every step of that process.

Exceptional Counsel

I cannot say enough positive things about my divorce attorney, Josh Schwartz. I am a stay at home mom of 16 years with 4 children. I didn’t think I had any options when it came to being divorced. He patiently guided me through the whole process, making sure I understood everything, answering my qu...estions, being there when I needed anything. He made an often times painful & emotional process seamless. Josh is educated, highly intelligent & informed. He is an expert on divorce law in Illinois. I am so grateful & blessed that he was with me to guide me through this whole process. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
