Best of the Best

Shawn and her assistant Yesenia were amazing throughout my purchase of a home. My loan was a longer process than expected, with lots of twists and turns, but they were there every step of the way, available for any questions or concerns I had. Shawn actually saved my deal when the seller was threaten...ing to cancel the contract. I would highly recommend Shawn and would only hire her for any of my real estate transactions. Simply the BEST!!!!

Highly recommended RE lawyer

My husband and I were extremely satisfied with Shawn M Bolger as our Real Estate Lawyer for the selling of a home. From our experience the communication for all parties involved was timely and accurate. We were able to complete the process for closing with minimal stress as we knew our best interes...ts were being attended to. Ms Bolgers' Staff, mainly Nicole, but also Yesenia, were especially prompt for concerns and transmittal of information/paperwork.

extremely pleased and satisfied.

I truly believed Shawn M. Bolger is one of the most honest real state attorney that you will ever hope to meet. Shawn along with her assistant Yesenia was easily reachable and answered questions promptly and patiently. Shawn’s office provided very valuable guidance and expertise through the entire re...al estate purchase cycle as it was a TOUGH ONE due to issues with sellers and amongst other things needing to be taken care of; Shawn was able to detect those issues before any signing and saved me from a dark scary experience; at the end everything was fixed thanks to Shawn and I was able to get this home. Very happy. Thank you Shawn Bolger’s office.

Above and beyond! Hard to find these days!

I decided to sell my rental townhome and Shawn first created a lease amendment to legally end the lease between me and the tenants prematurely allowing me to sell the townhome. She took care of it within 1 business day. She then proceeded to take care of everything else during the sale process and wa...s always very responsive and professional. Do not look anywhere else for your real estate needs!

Shawn is a great lawyer which I will hire again on any real estate transaction in the state of Illinois.

Shawn is very professional & knowledgable. She answers her phone & answers all your questions! I used her on my purchase of a condo in Chicago and she did an excellent job. I will definitely use her services again in any real estate transaction.
