The best for bad times

It's often NOT a sign of good things when an attorney must be retained. I learned of Rappaport Law through networking and our first consultation provided me with the confidence to retain her services. The case was somewhat complicated (details not necessary) but Ms. Rappaport steered my case with e...xpertise and the expected understanding of both case law and relevant current laws. In the end a settlement was reached which I felt, after consideration, to be the best outcome possible, again, given the unusual circumstances. Throughout she was a timely communicator, her fees were fair based on my consideration of value received. I am not a price-shopper. She also has a competent and effective paralegal/manager who was always available and responded promptly on matters that she could address. All in all, I would unhesitatingly recommend Rappaport Law and Ms. Rappaport for family practice cases in Lake County IL.

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.
