Matthew J. Stanton

I was in a sticky situation with a suspended license ticket. My fiances grandparents referred me to Matt, it was very short notice court date but Matt pulled some strings and still made it work for. He was on time for the court date, and he really came through with what I asked of him. We had all the... paperwork I needed ready for him. All for a really affordable price also, will definitely contact him for future issues if they occur, thank you Matt !

Mr. Stanton is one the best lawyers in Illinois. He represented my divorce case and helped me through my toughest times. Whenever I felt nervous about anything, Mr. Stanton reassured me that everything will be alright. He was calming, and made a difficult situation easy. There is no other lawyer I wo...uld've chosen to represent my case.

I met Mr. Stanton in 2007 when he represented me in my uncontested second divorce. Mr. Stanton accepted my case despite my financial situation at the time. He spent time talking with me and took into consideration who I was as a person. He worked w/me to make it possible to move forward in my life.... When I reached out to Mr. Stanton in early 2016 for a consultation regarding a custody situation from my first divorce, Mr. Stanton not only remembered me, but remembered specifics about both me and my case! Beginning with our first encounter, I found Mr. Stanton to be honest, clever, pragmatic, forthright, genuine, and compassionate, with a calm demeanor that has alleviated a lot of my anxiety during stressful situations. He’s worked to involve me so I felt comfortable with the process and was patient by taking the time to ensure I understood everything. His concern has always been getting a quick resolution that I was comfortable with. Unlike other lawyers I’ve encountered whose focus is concentrated on money, Mr. Stanton has integrity. There were many occasions where he could (and probably should) have charged me for his time, yet didn’t. Any other attorney would capitalize on an opportunity to bill their client, but Mr. Stanton is empathetic and concerns himself with what’s fair & just. He has a depth of legal knowledge and has offered accurate, invaluable, & useful legal advice. And unlike most lawyers, he’s easily reachable by phone and e-mail After all my interactions with Mr. Stanton, I’d consider him my attorney and my friend. I respect & highly recommend Mr. Stanton as an attorney and whole-heartedly support him in his pursuit to become State’s Attorney for Lake County.
