Steven Jay Brody

In November of 2013 I retained Steve to represent me in a divorce and related matters including an order of protection against my wife and child custody proceedings. I was concerned that the odds were against me because I was a man litigating in a forum that favors women. Steve assured me that my fea...rs would be overcome. He was right. I got the order of protection against my wife, he followed through with the divorce and got me full custody with the vast majority of parenting time. My ex-wife appealed and he succeeded in winning the appeal too. Two years after the divorce was done my now ex-wife again tried to get custody and the majority of parenting time. After a long-drawn-out trial, we won again, she appealed again, and we won that too. If you want a trial lawyer who knows how to win then Steve and his firm are the ones for you.

When I got divorced, I was required to pay my ex-wife $5,200 per month in maintenance plus provide her health insurance and life insurance. It was costing my over $7,000 per month. I suspected my ex-wife was engaged in another relationship but could not prove she was physically living together wit...h her significant other. Although he was concerned about the lack of a shared residence, Steve explained that this was not necessary to show cohabitation under the law. He provided a series of factors which in totality showed that my ex-wife was cohabiting under the law and therefore her maintenance should be terminated. I provided Steve the evidence which together we organized for hearing. Steve knew the questions to ask at hearing and presented the evidence in a clear and concise manner over a period of 7 days. The judge terminated my obligations saving me more than $84,000 per year. I highly recommend you hire Steve if you want a divorce lawyer that knows the law and how to present the evidence.

Title – Getting the job done!!! I had some legal issues and my attorney was not getting back to me or getting the job done. I was referred to Steve. He was responsive and proactive. He jumped right in and guided me through a very difficult situation. I was able to persevere through a difficul...t situation due to his representation. I am extremely satisfied with his service and representation.

I read all the positive reviews and can only attest to them as accurate. My first meeting with Mr. Brody was enlightening. At first, I perceived him as slightly arrogant, so I commented on that notion. His reply gave me clarity and confidence to write a retainer check right then. He said: "Mr.xxxxx, ...with all due respect, I don't sugar coat reality and only provide consultative facts. So, you are completely informed at all times as not to later be surprised, confused, or unhappy with my representation for you." "Please don't confuse my confidence with anything other than my credence in experience and expertise," Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised how well and satisfied in the end how beneficial the final outcome was for me. That's why I retained him for my second divorce and received an even better outcome. I recommend Mr. Brody to all I know who can use his services and they too have been very satisfied.

Attorney Steven is an outstanding professional who handled my case so swiftly that it is unimaginable how quickly he got my divorce settled. There was no progress made in my divorce since 2018 Nov, and I hired attorney Steven in July 2020. And lo behold, under his legal counsel, I got divorced under... six months of hiring him. He has the impeccable legal knowledge, tremendous energy, his 100k Watt charisma, and confidence are his core strengths; he shared his direct cell phone number and was personally available to me whenever I needed him, even for clarifying small doubts or questions; I even spoke to him on Sundays. He would be there for you, and he will diminish or clear off any doubts that may arise and also shepherd you through the legal system with the best fathomable outcome. I highly recommend attorney Steven Brody, and I wish him all the best for his successful legal career. Attorney Steven is highly revered and respected in the legal arena and especially in McHenry County, IL. If your situation is giving you sleepless nights or heart palpitations, talk to your savior Mister. Steven Brody, and you will see the HUGE difference day ONE you hire him. He is a man of his words!! I only wished I hired attorney Steven in Nov 2018 to have led me not to struggle so much in my personal life until now, i.e., Dec 2020
