Expungements
Alan is a great professional to work with. He helped me with an expungement process that Tim Johnston was originally working with me through. I was in a bad mental state when trying to deal with the issues at hand, and this man helped me to pull through on top. I can now further my future and continue my education with a clean record. I really could not be any more grateful. The entire staff is organized, caring, and understanding 100%. If you want someone who is really going to take care of you, I would suggest coming to Alan or anyone working in this firm. I will never forget the interaction and services that I’ve been provided with here.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Strategic, and Won the Case!
I highly recommend Alan Lenczycki and his firm (Johnston, Tomei, Lenczycki, & Goldberg). I had first met with Alan on a consultation, and he was upfront, honest, professional, and give me his advice as to how he would handle the case. After the consultation, I retained Alan and he started working on my case immediately. Alan is extremely responsive and clear in all of his communication (phone/email), and I was always up to speed with where he was at with the case. Since day one, all of my expectations were met and Alan did a phenomenal job navigating through this case. This particular case was a matter of returning specific property back to me. Though the property value was minimal, Alan treated the case as any other and put together a strong and compelling case. In the end, Alan won the case and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Alan!

Superior Service, Empathetic
I had violated my probation with a new case abd my girlfriend went and got a consultation with Johnston Tomei Lenczycki and Goldberg, LLC. She immediately knew that this was the help that we needed. They seemed very focused on getting me released and fought for me the whole time. Alan was the attorney that spearheaded my case and not one time did he seem unmotivated. The process was drawn out and lasted a few months. Ultimately Alan got me more than I deserved because right now I should be in prison. I can't give this man enough praise and if I have ANY other legal problems I know exactly who I'll go to. There's a lot of security in knowing you don't have to search for a lawyer anymore. I just hope I wont need him.

Exceptional work
I hired Alan in April and was divorced within a few months. He was extremely helpful and prompt to call back if he wasn’t available at the moment. He was always on time to court and for appointments. More importantly, he was always prepared. I would recommend him to anyone and will use him again in the future. Highly recommended.

Helped me big time!
I had Alan Lenczycki represent me in court today for a traffic offense. Alan's skillful negotiations got me cleared with a couple months supervision and $75 fine with court costs. I highly recommend Alan if you're looking for a knowledgeable, friendly and honest attorney

Great lawyer
Alan is a great lawyer. He is very professional and always answers the questions I have in a very timely manner. He works hard for your case and gives you many options in the direction you should go with your case. He fought very hard for me and got me exactly what I wanted out of my divorce. He trys to get your case done as soon as possible and with little amount of money spent. I would recommend him to anybody who may be going through a divorce. He's a great lawyer and very friendly and understanding.

Family Case Matter
I would like to start with how nervous I was when I needed to hire a lawyer for my family case. At first I looked everywhere and eventually I remembered the firm Harter and Schottland took a criminal case of mine and beat the case. I contacted them, I asked if they had a family lawyer. They said yes, and that’s when I met Alan. Now at first people are usually nervous cause you think “hey, this guy is just after my money” but not Alan. The moment you sit down with him and explain your case, he knows exactly what to do. Intelligent and knows how to get after it. Through out the case I would call him with any questions and he always called me back even if he couldn’t answer the phone at the moment, very dependable. Now regarding the case, it was a win. I’m a father with two kids and with custody, thanks to Alan. To this day he will still answer my phone calls with any questions and assures me he is still there to get after it again. I would highly recommend Alan for any types of cases, from family to criminal.

OUI/DUI/CRIMINAL DEFENSE
Wow! Wish I would have stumbled upon Alan prior to hiring my first attorney regarding an OUI case. My previous attorney forget to appeal my boating suspension and when I got the notice in the mail that my privilege had been revoked for two years he essentially said, sorry...I no longer practice in Illinois. That is when I called Alan and he picked up immediately - spoke to me with a sincere passion for what he does and the desire to help others when their in a bad situation. He was incredibly knowledgeable, reasonable and well spoken. He knew the system well and what he didn't know he said he'd figure out. I love when people are honest, especially people who you hire that are supposed to represent you best interests. I spent a lot of time researching OUI attorney's as it's definitely a niche market but let me tell you, Alan is TOP NOTCH and should be where you end up. I hope I don't end up in another similar situation but if I do, Alan will be my first call. A+

Excellent!
I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Lenczycki for the past 20 years, on a personal and professional level. After parting ways with an attorney whom we used for years I reached out to Alan for representation. I couldn't be more satisfied , being the courtroom is not an even playing field! He over came many obstacles in a timely manner, meanwhile taking the time to go over the fine details. He's not going to promise you something that can not be guaranteed as many firms will, until your "check clears" then give you exuceses.

Mr. Alan Lenczycki, the best lawyer in lake county!!
After calling around lake county area, and even stopping in a few offices, I found Alan. He was the most polite out of all the bunch and seemed the most sincere/genuine! That always stands out to me, but regardless of kindness, Alan was even better priced than most and was very patient and willing to answer all my questions and even give some great legal advice! I was super nervous for the month leading up to my court date and Alan reassured me not to lose sleep over the case. I had court for two misdemeanors and Alan got them both dropped! I couldn't have asked for anything better, and I would always recommend Alan to all my family and friends in the future! Cheers to you Alan for being so personable and amazing at what you do! Wish you the best of luck with everything, Sincerely, Tyler E.

Hire this attorney!
Alan Lenczycki is a top notch lawyer and professional. Alan was very receptive to the circumstances surrounding my case and was dedicated to helping see me through my legal storm. The outcome of my case was the best I could receive (or hope for), and that was accomplished by Alan's attentiveness, effort, and care. I am not able to express how much I owe to Alan and Harter & Schottland. Thank you for everything! If you are looking for a lawyer in the north Chicago area, I HIGHLY recommend seeking Alan out.

Let him go just after 3 months.
Hired him for divorce case. Alan, wittingly or unwittingly misread certified financial statements from other party. The difference between Petition For Maintenance and Financial Affidavit was 76% to 105%., Wittingly or unwittingly did not follow Local Court Rules and Civil ILCS. While at the same time keep requesting more supporting documents from me and billing for allegedly unrelated documents. Who was Alan protecting when not reporting this vast income discrepancy to the court?

Worthless
We hired Alan for our daughter case. Unfortunately, Alan failed to show up twice in a courtroom, and delayed our case without any reasonable explanation. Just because it fits his schedule! Also he did not answer our emails and phone calls in a reasonable time manner. So unprofessional.
Response from Alan Lenczycki December 17, 2018
Thank you for the feedback, although we don't remember the facts at all the same way you do. Our attorney rules of ethics, specifically rule 1.6, prevent attorneys from revealing anything in the way of client information or commenting on a situation like this very much, but I can say that our actual client tells us that she was very happy with our services. Generally speaking, our office will respond to client emails and phone calls within 24 hours. I am happy to provide clients with my email address, business phone number, and cell phone number on request, and especially on the cell phone can be reached pretty much any time. Very best wishes - ALAN
