KNOWS HIS STUFF

When I was involved in a very emotional civil lawsuit a few years ago, I interviewed many lawyers but felt that none of them really understood the situation I was in. After contacting Michael Ficaro (a very prominent, high profile, Chicago lawyer that I knew) for a referral in McHenry County; he ref...erred me to Atty. Rob Hanlon, saying that he knew his stuff and could help me. Atty. Hanlon met with me the day I called him and I knew instantly he was the right one for the job. I found it unbelievable how unprepared the Judges were, how the opposing lawyer could outright lie, and how the court could continue on and on. Nobody wins after a civil lawsuit but I didn't loose. You want the best going into court for you. I was GRATEFUL to have Atty. Hanlon on my side.

Glad to Pay for the Best Advice

Atty Hanlon was a breath of fresh air in that he listened to all the facts before advising me in a realistic manner, He wasn't like the Realtor brand of attorney's out there that fill your head with a bunch of fantasies that you'll win in court just to get your business. I was very concerned and he ...consulted me on what I could do to avoid further heartache. If there is anything someone needs when they are in potential legal trouble, it's provide the facts, and realistic advice of a legal battle and its potential outcome. I will highly recommend him.

The best

There simply is no better attorney. He took on my case when no one else would help me. He knows the law, he knows the courts. He’s aggressive and honest. A true white knight.

Worth every cent

Robert was aggressive and worked to get the results I needed. He was honest and gave me the truth instead of prolonging it like other lawyers do to beef up the bill. He was worth every penny I paid and probably more.

Totally satisfied

Attorney Hanlon is a creative lawyer. He is innovative and cunning. When my world was coming down around me he provided a real solution to my problem! He's hard to reach but giving him time produces good things.
