Robert is a great attorney, he makes sure to explain everything in detail and in a manner that you fully understand all the details of your filing. Even after receiving my discharge documents, Robert took the time to call me and make sure I had no additional questions before closing my file. It has been a pleasure to work with Robert & I highly recommend his firm.
Rob Tomei did an excellent job representing me. He kept me up to date on my case and explaining everything that was happening. I felt well taken care of, and am very happy with the result. Hiring his firm should be an easy choice.
I am a lifetime Lake County resident, born in Libertyville, Illinois and raised in Gurnee. I attended law school at Northern Illinois University, graduating Cum Laude in May of 2012.
Having hailed from a family with Lake County roots, it has always been an aspiration to become a professional entrepreneur in the local legal community. The motivation to further that end, coupled with the desire to assist those in distress, led me to open up my own practice in Gurnee in November of 2012.
Since Tomei Law's inception, I have successfully negotiated settlements on behalf of my clients in a number of different contexts, both in civil matters and in criminal matters. I have also managed trials, where I have both defended and prosecuted civil claims. In addition to bringing many bankruptcy matters to speedy and positive resolutions, I have managed appeals, and have successfully argued many dispositive and otherwise essential motions in open court. Prior to starting my own practice, I spent time working in personal injury as well as insurance defense firms as both a clerk and lawyer.
On my spare time I enjoy reading, staying up-to-date with the legal developments, as well as geo-political changes, in addition to running, working out, and spending time with friends and family.

Successful property tax appeal fee
Persistence, patience, prayers and a good lawyer. A great combination for getting things done. Mr. Tomei went the extra mile to obtain subject fee from buyer when selling our home. He comes highly recommended and we hope to use him for any legal issues in the future.

Highly recommended to me and lived up to that promise
Robert was recommended to me by a long-time Waukegan attorney I trust and I wasn't disappointed. Rob makes you feel as if you are his most important client, despite his busy schedule. He often answers his phone in the afternoons on one of the first rings, gets back to you quickly if you don't reach him on the first try, and replies to all emails in a very timely manner. This is a very bright, earnest young man with a high energy level. He gives it his all and has always been straight with me. During a long, difficult (for me) civil case, Robert was there every step of the way. His parents' insurance firm occupies the office adjoining his, in Gurnee, and made me feel right at home anytime I entered the premises. He explains legal issues clearly and with great patience, on the phone and in writing.

Roberts awesome
I am not a fan of attorneys I'm going to admit that. But I got myself in a situation where I needed one desperately. I reached out to multiple attorneys who either a completely blew me off or two gave me an opinion that was going to cost me thousands of dollars more. I need to mention none of them ask for my case information court documents nothing. And then I talked to Robert. Who immediately asked me for all of my court documents and talk to me about my case. I was able to get out of this situation that had been plaguing me for about 10 years with a very favorable decision that I never thought I would ever get. Robert is amazing

Results!
Robert was recommended to me as someone who had experience dealing with cases similar to mine, and I'm glad that happened. He took the time to explain the process and my options to me. Once we determined a course of action, Robert was very forthcoming and communicative regarding how my case was progressing and an equitable solution was reached as a result of his work. Many thanks Robert!!

Satisfied Client
My husband and I used Robert Tomei when we filed bankruptcy. Let me tell you, we are very glad we used his services. Bankruptcy is often embarrassing to admit to yourself, let alone other people. Robert never once made us feel uncomfortable or like we were being judged. He is thorough and knowledgeable but most importantly to me a kind soul. He was prompt with responses and answered all questions we had without hassle. There were no hidden fees, we paid what was quoted in our consultation. We were pre-warned of any potential issues that may arise in detail so we were not blind sided. But there was no need to worry because he did a great job. All paperwork went through without any issues. He offers other areas of expertise. If we need an Attorney again in the future we will call Robert. I recommended him to my family and friends. Now I am highly recommending him to you! Thank you again Robert!

Extremely Positive Experience
We had an extremely positive experience retaining Mr. Tomei in a dispute regarding a defective product. Mr. Tomei is very knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced. He successfully negotiated a highly satisfactory settlement and brought a swift resolution to our case. Even after he received his retainer, he promptly returned phone calls and gave us individual attention. We felt relieved and blessed to have him represent us, advise us, and deal with the opposing party. In summary, I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney in his field of law.

Thorough and Honest
Robert represented me in traffic court. As with any legal matter, I had a great deal of anxiety in relation to the outcome of my case. I had a number of questions and was overall unsure about the course of action I should take. Robert took the time to listen to my questions and answer them thoroughly. He provided me with honest counsel, and provided overall sound and trustworthy legal advice. I am extremely pleased with the results of my case. Not to mention, I am happy to have had an attorney that is empathetic, honest, detailed and dependable. I would recommend Robert to anyone in need of legal assistance.

House sale
Mr. Robert Tomei Jr. recently handled the sale of our house. He did an excellent job of advising us throughout the process, preparing all of the needed documents, arranging for the necessary surveys, final payments etc. Basically he took care of everything for us, it was a very stress free experience which is not always the case with home sales and closings. We were extremely happy and will definitely call upon Mr. Tomei in the future for legal services.

Worry-free closing
I hired Robert to represent me for the closing of my rental house. He is very knowledgeable in the closing process and offered good advice. From day one he was very responsive to requests from the seller's attorney and my realtor. He stayed on top of all open items and made sure all the paperwork was signed and submitted timely. When an issue arouse at closing his quick thinking and professionalism resulted in a resolution that all parties could agree on. Throughout the process I felt confident that he was taking care of everything and left nothing for me to worry about. I am very happy that I chose Robert and will definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Chpt 7
Lawyer Robert Tomei assisted me in a chapter 7 bankruptcy case. He allowed me to explain and prove to him how I ended in such a terrible situation in my life. He listened and understood. He went over and beyond to provide professional assistance and show me how to recover after my case was closed successfully. He didn't hesitate to answer any questions that had during and after my case. I highly recommend him because he takes the time to get information before he starts to process the given situation. Thank you Attorney Robert Tomei.

Legal Representation with Compassion
I hired Mr. Tomei to represent me in a civil suit. Throughout the entire process Mr. Tomei worked tirelessly to achieve a just resolution to my situation. I felt like Mr. Tomei made my problems his own, and did everything in his power to defend me in the legal arena. Mr. Tomei's compassion and fire were clearly evident during my trial, and he fought hard for the win. Mr. Tomei's approach in representing his clients exudes confidence, intelligence, and integrity. I would hire Mr. Tomei again without any doubt for any legal proceeding.
