Lee R Zeidman

I hired Lee after working with more than one Law Firm for a post decree custody dispute. Lee seperates himself from the other firms that I have worked with (3) because of his personal interest in your case coupled with a very firm grasp of the family law statutes. Lee refuses to get “spun up” in the... wicked web of legal semantics that cause cases to get knocked off track and ultimately see the Billings go through the roof. Lee is a “matter of fact” attorney that fights for his clients for the most reasonable and expeditious outcome. As a father up against the system in DuPage county, Lee and his team worked dillegintely and performed flawlessly which ended up with the results that I was seeking from the onset. I would recommend him to anyone and certainly would hire him again in a nanosecond if the need arises. Simply put, he is the best attorney that I have met.

I sold my home in June of 2016 and Lee Zeidman was my attorney. I couldn't be happier with the level of service I received I always think it’s important to understand the person leaving the review because “good service” to one person could be “average” (or “below average”) service to another. Abou...t me - I used to develop properties, however, now, I am an attorney in California. With that said, I have bought, developed, and sold over 20 properties in my lifetime. For these reasons, I have a deeper level of understanding of what Mr. Zeidman does and how he compares to his peers. On this particular transaction, the buyer was being difficult to say the least. At every turn, the buyer’s were trying to find reasons to reduce the sales price. It was because of Lee’s business acumen and natural negotiating talent that allowed me to stay strong on my price. It wasn’t that he gave me false sense of confidence, it was that he correctly analyzed the buyer’s (weak) position and correctly advised me on what to do. His analysis coupled with his business acumen saved me over $20,000! He understood when my position was strong, and when my position was weak, and advised me accordingly. This is something you cannot put a price tag on. Most attorneys basically act as liaison and get their money when the transaction closes, but not Lee Zeidman. Lee fought for every one of my dollars as if it was his own. When the buyer’s were trying to get credits, I could tell Lee cared, that I wasn’t just a transaction, but a real person who had real money to lose. This is not something they teach in law school, this is something you’re born with. I can say unequivocally, he is the best transitional real estate attorney I have come across in my 20+ real estate transactions over the past 10 years. He’s sharp, to the point, and very professional. He’s a no nonsense aggressive attorney who zealously advocated for me, his client. I think it’s important to note, his rates were very reasonable and were in line with other attorneys in the area.

What started as a simple bankruptcy quickly went south when I was confronted with a difficult trustee. I was riddled with anxiety over the issue while my attorney remained calm. He helped to ease my fears by assuring me that we could and would get it done; confronting any issue along the way. I am no...t sure why my trustee believed I had additional assets but I am glad that Lee remained calm and diligent in his insistence on the state of my affairs. In bankruptcy you are personally copied on all legal proceedings, so every time I received a notice I went into a panic. I am sure I tested my attorney's patience but he never displayed that when dealing with me. What seemed like a daunting process was easily navigated by Lee because, simply put, he knew what he was doing. He calmly and consistently explained the process and did not waste my money on trivial matters. When the trustee asked for additional information I did exactly as Lee advised and watched him handle the rest, Due to the trustee's inquisition my bankruptcy took longer than I anticipated, though it finally ended in my favor and without additional expenses! While I hope to never file bankruptcy again, I will certainly use Lee for other matters.

Although it seemed like Lee had done a couple thousand of these closings, he treated us like we were his only client. He explained every detail at the closing and made sure we were given every dollar from the lender that we were entitled to. Really couldn't be happier with the result. I always hear h...orror stories of how confusing and lengthy closings are, my husband and I had a wonderful experience. We closed in less than 1.5 hours and Lee explained everything ahead of time. The best part is that the explanation he gave was exactly what happened. I found out he does a lot more than just residential closings but that he can also help with our estate planning (wills and trusts) and he said he can also help with business planning for my husbands small business. We will DEFINITEILY be using Lee in the future.

I retained Lee's services a little over a year ago to resolve post divorce issues. Lee’s knowledge of the law was and continues to be very impressive. His council was always precise and correct. He advised me of what my options were at all times and provided deep insight into potential solutions. Lee... understood without a shadow of a doubt that my only concern was the well being of my daughter and not the monetary issues at hand. His fees were more than fair and his attention to details lead to an amicable resolution for all. I would highly recommend Lee’s services to anyone needing legal assistance.
