Best lawyer and staff!

Jeremy is an amazing and knowledgeable lawyer. He provided assistance in a foreclosure I was going through. Without him and his staff, I'm not sure I would've gotten the answers i needed.

Posted by Josh | December 16, 2013 | Real Estate

One of the top lawyers in Lake County

I called Harter and Schottland for a real estate deal I had. I needed someone trustworthy and someone who would get things done correctly. I wasn't disappointed. I bought a short sale home which is a nightmare to deal with and the sellers side was so slow and seemed like they didn't really want to... progress; took their time getting back to us and it felt like they wanted to draw the whole process out. But throughout the whole process Jeremy kept a level head and pushed the deal forward. Jeremy always had things under control. I was a nervous mess and any question or issue I had I could call him and he'd have an answer. Jeremy knows his law and I wouldn't hesitate to go to him for anything that his law firm does. Hes an all around friendly guy and its easy to talk to him. He gives you precise answers and if he doesn't know something, he'll take the steps to find out and let you know. If you go with Harter and Schottland you're in good hands!

Review for Attorney Jeremy Harter

Attorney Jeremy Harter was recommended to us by our Wisconsin family lawyer to handle a family matter in Illinois court. Attorney Harter consistently showed due diligence during this family matter which took 10+ months to resolve. His knowledge of the law was very apparent and gave us confidence we... had hired the right attorney. We found him to be friendly and caring, professional, and understanding of our situation. He always answered any questions we had to our satisfaction. He was upfront about everything so we knew what to expect in court. We have since retained Attorney Harter for a criminal matter in Illinois court.

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.
