Matthew J. Stanton

Mr. Stanton helped me last minute to file my divorce papers. Since his help, I've been following his political journey. He is the right person for change. I will be supporting him in his quest for State's Attorney and will highly recommend as an attorney. I didn't hire him but he completely filled... out my court papers. I had no idea what I was doing and he took the time to help. His action showed me what a kind, thoughtful person he is. What a great guy with great values!

If you have never been directly involved in the legal system, you might go into it expecting justice, fairness, and a timely resolution to your problem; however, like me and many others, you will soon find yourself entangled in a game that is not necessarily fair, and that has the potential to drain ...you financially. When I had been in court previously, the lawyer I had then did nothing to prevent extended litigation, and in fact, seemed to prolong it himself. I later consulted Mr. Stanton regarding some post-decree matters and quickly saw the value of his approach, which foremost included minimizing emotional and irrelevant issues. After consulting with Mr. Stanton I came to see that one's best legal counsel in not an attorney who hates your ex as much as you do. Your best legal counsel is a lawyer who can clarify and address the important issues in order to get resolution as quickly as possible...and as much as possible avoid lengthy legal processes that will harm, more than help you. Here is the crux of the matter: When searching for an attorney you need someone pragmatic, forthright, and honest; someone who can cut to the chase and spare you as much turmoil as possible, For emotional support look to your friends and family; but for legal advice, find an attorney who is not a game player in the system. Matthew Stanton is a person of depth and knowledge who knows how to get a case resolved so you can move on with life. I'd highly recommend him.

Hi, im a young black male that owns a t shirt shop in waukegan in a building where Matthew use to have an office in. Im only telling the truth when i say that Matthew fought a child support case for me for a kid that wasn't mines. I'd had two judges and lawyers tell me that there was nothing i could... do about it and i would have to pay child support until she was 18. I ran into him in the hallway and i explained what i was going through. Matthew took the case and without a huge payment or a whole lot of lawyer promises. he fought for me all the way until the judge agreed to his argument and we over turned a case that I was told was a lose lose case. I hug him all the way down the hall! He was better than a lawyer he was a friend first! thank you forever Matt....Ace
