This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great work ethic, good moral values, excellent lawyer all around!

Tim and Kate were exceptional to work with through our difficult probate case in 2024 of my late father in law who passed away with no will. He made the process as easy as possible and was so helpful in guiding us through the legal aspects of obtaining power of attorney and executor of the estate, as... well as the sale of the home. I appreciated how gentle they were with us through the entire experience because it was a legal matter but also was a matter of grief. They handled everything very tactfully and we will forever be grateful for them for this help! Then, in 2025 we also enlisted their help to sell our own personal home recently and the entire process was smooth and went off without a hitch due to their incredible diligence! I double reccomend them for any legal matter needed! They are good, kind hearted, genuine people with great values and ethics!

YOUR BEST DEFENSE!!

Tim is an outstanding lawyer and a person with the highest integrity. I value his straightforward approach to resolving the many difficult issues that must be dealt with and his ability to explain the optimal path to succeed.

Excellent lawyer

Tim Somen is my third lawyer hired for my lawsuit. I do not have a lot of experience needing a lawyer but the first two lawyers hired had me feeling hopeless and very discouraged. Tim is kind, caring, professional, confident, and easy to work with. What I valued most in Tim is he is very direct, ret...urns calls immediately, and his ability to guide me through a difficult situation efficiently. Tim will be my go to lawyer in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a excellent lawyer!

Great Professional and Personal service

Tim handled my real estate closing for my Wauconda property after I had already moved to Florida. I could not have been more pleased with how he handled things. Despite being so far away, Tim always kept me up to date and made this a worry free transaction. His lovely wife even went above and beyond ...the call by meeting village inspectors at the property twice to resolve last minute issues. She was terrific. I HIGHLY recommend Tim if you require any legal service… I promise you that he will give you professional, timely and even friendly consultation and service. Thanks Tim, I couldn't have done this without you!

Property sale

Tim handled my closing for my late father’s townhome. He was great to work with and made everything seamless. I really appreciated Tim’s level of professionalism and he put me at ease. I would definitely utilize Tim again.
