I have been a lawyer for over 30 years.  It has been been very rewarding to help people who are in need of legal assistance.  Helping countless families in foreclosure keep their homes by securing afforbable loan modifications for them is extremely rewarding.  Also helping people setting up their estate plans, buying and selling real estate and helping clients with debt issues and bankruptcy have been very rewarding.   We offer a free consultation where we will fully evaluate a client's situation, explain all options, and recomend the best course of action. 

I currently serve on the Board of Directors of the Illinois Real Estate Lawyer's Association and am a past Co -Chair of the Real Estate Committee of the LCBA.

I have been working with Stephen Newland for the last 8 years. He is a very reliable lawyer who does not promise what he can not deliver. I am very thankful for his services and because of him I am still in my house after all these years.

Great Attorney and Excellent Human
Changed my life. I feel my family and I can move forward. Went to several lawyers for bankruptcy and he explained things the best and had the best approach. Saved my home with a modification.

Very Knowledgable
We had a consult regarding my dad's condo in foreclosure. Stephen really knows his stuff. I appreciated his insight and advise.

Excellent and Highly Competent
Steve is a great guy and an excellent lawyer, we very much appreciate his care and skill. We hired him for filing Chapter 7, which he masterfully administered, along with knowledgeable Paralegal. He allowed us to make payments, which really helped our limited cash flow. All is well that ends well, for us that means a fresh start, which from our 2 young kid's perspective, is all that counts.

Bankruptcy, foreclosure, professional – simply the best!
Stephen and his team handled our very complicated situation like no other could in the business. We started with a very complicated Chapter 7 bankruptcy, then a US Trustee challenge and ended with keeping our home thru 2 foreclosures. Often described as a “Harvard Review” case we spent over 3 years working with Steve’s team and could not be happier with the results. Steve never gave us false hope but never gave up either. Very calm under adverse circumstances, he has a fantastic staff and has a huge network of resources. Would I recommend him… absolutely!

AWESOME! THE ONLY ATTORNEY I WILL USE!
Steve Newland and the entire staff were outstanding! Steve has been my attorney for many years. I have hired him for many real estate purchases, sales and most recently a CH7 BK. Steve and the entire group are extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and patient!! They always kept me informed throughout the process and responded quickly to my questions. Steve is always willing to provide me with expert advice (which was always correct) and has the ability to put me at ease when I was frustrated with my situation. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Steve and I personally would not use anyone else!

"I have referred clients and friends to Steve Newland for issues relating to foreclosure defense, bankruptcy, and business matters. The people I have referred are often in the midst of extremely stressful circumstances (losing their home, struggling financially to pay bills and support their families, etc.). Steve is always able to navigate them through these difficult situations both with expert legal advice, and with compassion and understanding. I have repeatedly received feedback from people telling me that they simply "felt better" after speaking to Steve as he would calmly guide them through options in a straightforward manner they could easily understand. Steve also always analyzes and assesses the client's circumstances in totality, to help the client choose the best strategy for his/her specific outcome (i.e., he does not just work on a bankruptcy if foreclosure defense would suit the client's needs better). I will continue to endorse Steve as a highly competent attorney."
