This Guy is Great

I needed a tough attorney who would not take crap. I got what I wanted and then some. Mr, Hanlon was firm committed and pleasant to the opposite side.

Refreshing

I met with Robert and he suggested a solution where he would mot make any money and didn’t charge me even though he helped me solve my problem. He was clear about needing to be truthful with litigation and how the untruths always burn people in court. I followed his advice and resolved the dispute ...with my business partner. When i need an attorney Im going to call him

One of the best attorneys in McHenry County

One of the best, most honest and capable attorneys in the Northern district. I highly recommend him to anyone needing some of the best legal advice possible.

Wow what a great guy!

I went to several attorneys concerning a fairly complex commercial claim. I was delighted that Mr. Hanlon understood the impact of yield rates and present value as it related to my claims. I recovered over $5 million dollars and his fees were very reasonable and I didn’t get gouged because of the r...ecovery amount. We finished our case within six months and all in the fees were less than $30,000. I would have paid ten times that amount. He told me I could hire less expensive attorneys and he was right. Something told me this was the right man for me. He kept me informed about my case and it’s progress. When the other lawyer, a Chicago hot shot, made mistakes he called him out. The resolution was way better than what I could have prayed for and did!

Consultation

Robert was referred to me by my Oak Park Attorney. I cannot afford Roberts fee's, but he still met with me. He gave me legal advice. He is going to review some documents. If I need to recontact him, he said he will help me. Honest, straight shooting man!!

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.
