Excellent attorney--strongly recommend!

Sam represented me in the sale of my Chicago condo. He was consistently knowledgeable, exceptionally (and quickly) responsive, exercised excellent judgment, made some recommendations at crucial points that kept a nearly-fractured process moving ahead. I have absolutely no complaints or reservations..., and absolutely would hire him in the context of all future real estate transactions.

Great Lawyer

Sam represented us in connection with the sale of our Chicago home. Sam is friendly, knowledgable, and made the process easy and seamless. His invoice was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend Sam to family and friends.

Can’t go wrong!

Sam helped us buy our home in Highland Park. He was very responsive, diligent, and detail oriented. He always had our best interest in mind. Would highly recommend him for a real estate transaction!!

Superb attorney

Sam just helped us buy our current house and sell our prior one. He was incredibly helpful in a variety of ways, and extremely responsive. He was never in a rush in talking with us. He's extremely knowledgeable and practical. He knew what we needed even when sometimes things were not that clear t...o us.

Great Experience - highly recommend.

Sam was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process of buying my home. I had an especially complicated situation with many bureaucratic obstacles and Sam smoothly and seamlessly maneuvered all of them, even the ones that weren't necessarily his job. I definitely could not have done it without him.... He stood by my side at every step and was always willing to fight for me. He always made sure I had all of the right information and did an incredibly thorough job foreseeing any and all obstacles. I definitely recommend hiring him for any real estate needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
