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.

Appellate Expert and Zealous Advocate

Mario is a tremendous lawyer. He has been working on my current case for a long time and has been clear and communicative about how it is going and what he needs from me. We even got a bad decision during the case, and he appealled it for me and won the appeal. He does not give up, ever. He is the sm...artest guy in the room and I'm glad to have him on my side.

Mario is an amazing attorney

Mario was extremely helpful in a civil matter involving a debt that I had owed to a financial institution. I truly would not have had such a great outcome had I not hired him. If you're on the fence, call Mario. He is knowledgable and always has your best interest. Edited to add: Mario has now as...sisted me with two cases. I could not be more pleased with the outcomes. He’s knowledgeable, hardworking, and cares about his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of assistance. I appreciate his help so much.

Timely Resolution

Very quick resolution to the case. This is the second time I have hired Mario and each time he won the case in a very quick way. Thank you so much for all the hard work.

Helped this pro-se contestant with good advice in a complex case

Mario helped me after I - a pro-se defendant - partially won an earlier appeal. The ball is now in my court and Mario's level-headed remarks are steering me in the right direction. If my motion to modify counterclaim is successful, I will certainly consider asking him to represent me.
