Steven Jay Brody

I cannot say enough good things about the team at Brody & Brandner, Ltd. Steve Brody, Timothy Brandner, and Mariana Kostova have been an absolute powerhouse. Securing a positive custody outcome as a father is rare, but we achieved it by working together as a true unit. For any parent hiring a firm, y...ou can't just hand over a case and expect a miracle; you have to be involved. By staying highly organized, researching the facts, and presenting them with clean, actionable evidence, I was able to help them execute seamlessly. They are detail-oriented, highly responsive, and exceptionally skilled at navigating complex custody issues when you give them the right tools. Truly an elite firm that delivers real results for proactive families.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with this attorney. From the very beginning, they took the time to truly listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and make us feel heard throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made a stressful s...ituation so much easier to handle. We always felt like they were fully engaged and fighting for the best possible outcome because they listened and knew the charges were false. They did an excellent job, and I’m extremely grateful for all of their help. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to their clients.

I am a single father of two children ages 13 and 9. Their mother is not involved. On Sunday night DCFS took protective custody of them which prevented me from seeing them. I was scared and did not know what to do. I initially saw Mr. Brody on a Monday at 4:00 P.M., the same day I called his offic...e. He calmed me down as much as anyone could. I could tell he was confident. The next morning we appeared in court when we were first provided a stack of documents and reports. Mr. Brody had the matter continued to Wednesday, the very next morning thereby giving him time to review the paperwork. We went to hearing on Wednesday morning and he was on fire. He knew exactly what was in the reports, and thoroughly discredited the DCFS case worker on the stand. The judge immediately returned my children to my care. He is one BAD dude that does not mess around in the courtroom.

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
