Replied last March 10, 2026

As an attorney it is my practice to always ask for the name of anyone that calls me in order to do a conflict check. I do not recall speaking with anyone named Donna around 12/4/2024 and certainly was not hired to handle a $152 lien on a property as the post indicates I was. Further, in order to speak with me if someone calls my office they need to go through staff and get an appointment, they cannot simply call me. I'm disappointed to see this review because I believe it was made in error by someone who confused me with someone else. Further, the implication that I judge someone by their voice is not who I am so I'm doubly disappointed to read any such comment. I've flagged this post and contacted AVVO to discuss this post, but AVVO has not removed it and has not called me to discuss.

Dedicated Attorney

If you need an assertive, honest, and experienced attorney that will be as invested in your case as you are, look no further. I can say without a doubt that Drake Shunneson is the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with and his service is second to none. In the courtroom he is conf...ident, well prepared, and well versed in the case he is presenting to the Court. He is a well respected and well liked member of the McHenry and Lake County legal communities. We retained him for two separate cases and have no doubts when it comes to placing our trust in him to act with the best interest of our family in mind. I initially retained Mr. Shunneson to register a parenting plan in Illinois (my career moves me around a lot). This simple case quickly became very complex and high conflict because of an uncooperative respondent. When my case became exceptionally complicated, Drake accepted the challenge head on. He was flexible in his practice and not afraid to step out of his comfort zone to see our case through. Drake respects the fact that every case is unique and wants what is best for his clients. It is evident with the amount of time he devotes to his clients and their cases. (Just keep in mind that what is best and what you want may not always be the same thing, but he has a way of helping you understand why it is the best thing). Mr. Shunneson handled our cases with ease. He was very communicative throughout the process and we were always well informed of our options along the way. He was always very attentive and we never felt as though we were just another client to bill. For all of these reasons and many that are not listed, we will continue to retain Mr. Shunneson and this firm for all of our legal needs.

Very Knowledgeable and Compassionate Attorney

Life hands us things we need help to take care of. We were blessed to meet Drake Shunneson and work with him. He was so much more than just another lawyer handling my case. He seemed genuinely concerned for me and that has meant the world! I highly recommend if anyone is in need of a great lawyer. If... he can help you can rest assured he will do everything he can.
