The Gold Standard in Consumer Protection

Mario Kris Kasalo is exceptional in consumer protection law—smart, strategic, and relentlessly effective. He understands how to protect consumers when the odds seem stacked against them, and he does it with integrity, precision, and real compassion.

Would hire again and again

Hired him for a case where a debt collector tried to collect a debt from me when I was a minor. Great result and we won.

100% Trust

I was referred to Mr. Kasalo by another attorney, and I could not have been in better hands. He assisted me nearly 15 years ago, and when my husband required legal representation, he was the first person I thought of. I am grateful that he continues to practice in the Chicagoland area. I highly re...commend retaining his services. I would advise prospective clients to be patient with his communication style, as he may not provide frequent updates and responses can occasionally take a few weeks. However, when he does reach out, it is always with meaningful information or to request important details related to your case. You can trust that he is diligently working on your behalf and is committed to achieving the best possible outcome. In my experience, he is truly exceptional in his field.

Excellent service

Attorney Kasalo is truly excellent at what he does. He’s detail oriented and takes the time to uncover the facts that really matter to your case. I’ve also always felt well informed, as he makes a consistent effort to keep me updated throughout.

I read good things about him before hiring him. We worked together to the results I wanted and that I could handle. It was a pleasure working with him, and I’m so thankful for his help.
