Automobile Accident

In February 2016, while I was driving north bound on Highway 295 toward O'Hare, suddenly an entire wheel felled off an 18 wheeler truck hitting directly onto the windshield of my Fiat 500. After the accident, I tried numerous times to contact the truck's owner and driver without prevailed. Frustrat...ed, I went online searching for a reputable with good ratings attorney to represent me in recovery the damages of my car from the accident. I found Mr. Christopher Ackeret. Chris accepted my case and handled the entire process expertly and professionally. The case eventually become somewhat complicated since both the driver and the owner of the truck refused to accept theirs responsibility. It takes almost a year after the accident, Chris managed to win the case and finally recovered the entire cost of the damages. Chris is a skilled professional in the field he practices and is highly recommended.

BANKRUPTCY, FORECLOSURE

We hired Chris as our lawyer for looking into filing bankruptcy. He went through the different types & what would be best for our situation. He was extremely thorough & sensitive to our needs. Chris made the process extremely tolerable considering the circumstances. Wonderful, caring guy! For our ...foreclosure process, he did an excellent job & used his skills to our benefit! He helped us to fight the foreclosure process for a very long time & did everything in his power again to make the situation tolerable for us. I can't recommend Chris enough! You don't find attorneys like this who care for their clients' well being & go way above & beyond. 5++ stars!!!

Highly Recommended - Student Loans

Throughout my case, Chris was very professional, honest, knowledgeable and accessible. The case dragged out for longer than expected, but he stayed diligent in working toward a positive outcome versus National Collegiate. He was always available to offer guidance and did very well in explaining the l...egal jargon and aspects entailed in the case. Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. He is genuine, honest, and will give you the truth and educate you on your possible options/outcomes. Result ended in dismissal of the case which was the best I could have asked for. Would highly recommend to anyone!

A critique of a lawyer.

A trustworthy attorney? OK, maybe an oxymoron but with Chris it happens to be true. He made an unpleasant experience more bearable. Answered all my stupid questions and replied to all my emails usually within hours. Highly recommended!

'Triple A'... Above Average Attorney

After being injured in a car accident, not know what to do and where to turn I called Christopher. I had met Christopher several years ago through my union's legal assistance fund and he helped and adviced me through some financial matters, and I was truly satisfied with what he did for me. Shortly f...ollowing the accident while sitting in the emergency room at the hospital with a painful right shoulder, Christopher came to mind. Due to the accident happening on a Sunday, I called Christpher first thing Monday morning to ask for advice, and "what he thought that I should do"? Turned out to be the best phone that I've ever made. Christopher took matters in his own hands. I knew nothing and he guided me through the entire process from beginning to end. Educating me along the way, making sure that I understood what I was going through and why I was going through it. He answered each and everyone of my questions and assured me of my concerns. When ever I needed anything he was there, giving me advice that really helped me. It's like not only did I get a 'Triple A' but I also got a friend...my case settled a few weeks ago, to my satisfaction and Chris is still there for me. What a great guy!!!
