helped my children start a new life
The appellate court is a mysterious and intractable authority that can undo a hard-won trial decision with the sweep of a pen. You may have the best trial team in the world, but if your case ends up in the appellate court, you need a specialist like Paul Feinstein. Paul took over my case in a...

I am an attorney who has known Paul for well over 10 years. I have had many cases with Paul on the other side and I have always found him to be extremely professional, knowledgeable and well-prepared.

Do Not Hire
He abandon my case just before going to court. I was forced to start all over again. I discover that he did the same to another client. Under the façade of a good man, he does not care.
Your matter does not sound familiar to me. If you were in fact a client of this firm, I apologize if you feel I did not provide you with the service you desired. I am unsure you were actually a client since you neither provided your name nor the name of the person you claim was similarly treated which makes it hard to respond. Also in court litigation if I were to leave a case where I had been your lawyer I would need the judge's permission and a good reason before I would be allowed to do that. And I do not recall formally withdrawing from a case in court over at least the last 10 years. Over my 45 years of practicing law I have not withdrawn from many cases but when I have, I always had a good reason. So I don't know how long ago my supposed representation was, but again, I try to have satisfied clients which is reflected by the fact that this is my only negative review on Avvo. But I guess no one can "bat a thousand." Again I apologize.
"When a case on worked on at the trial level was appealed by the opposing party, I referred my client to Paul to handle the appeal. He is an extremely accomplished attorney with a unique understanding of Illinois case law and procedure. He is trustworthy, smart and reasonable. I strongly recommend his work."
"Paul is an outstanding lawyer. He is intelligent in all aspects of divorce law. He leaves no stone unturned. He is caring and respectful of his clients. I have the highest respect for Paul. Joy Feinberg"
