Ethical and responsible Attorney

Robert provided exceptional assistance and advice to our church. Although our case ultimately did not go to litigation, he took the time to walk us through the pros and cons with patience and courtesy. He was very responsive. I highly recommend him.

Conscientious

Bob, communicated well and would find the answers if he didn't know. Was always professional and didn't waste time he was very well prepared when we went to court and we had a favorable out come. We have used many lawyers over the years and Bob is by far one of the best and we will use him again if ...the opportunity presents its self again.

Thank You Robert

Robert did a very good job being my attorney in a case that was difficult. His determination in this case was key. During the case he was informing me about every single step via call and email and also every bill I received from him was very well explained. Robert is a very honest person with very g...ood work ethic. I really appreciate his work and dedication. If someone is looking for a good attorney, RoberT Kuehl is the right person.

Exactly what an attorney should be - intelligent, honest, communicative, and assertive

I was the plaintiff in a defamation case in the federal court. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with my initial attorney who was extremely expensive, disorganized, and had made some significant errors in the case. I was reluctant to change attorneys in the middle of the suit, since there was a... lot that had already happened in the case. However, it became clear that I would need new representation. Mr. Kuehl was exemplary in every way. It quickly became apparent that he was smart and experienced. He was able to catch up rapidly with where the case was and to absorb the critical details. His strategies were excellent and he always reviewed them with me to solicit my input. Mr. Kuehl was also very honest and conducted himself with remarkable integrity - always making sure that while we were being aggressive in the litigation that we made sure to proceed in an ethical manner. Communication with Mr. Kuehl was always easy. He was consistently responsive to my emails and messages and it was common that he would have conversations with me after hours to accommodate my schedule. Mr. Kuehl built a very strong case against the defendant and won several key motions. Ultimately, I decided to settle with the defendant, but I am certain that Mr. Kuehl would have presented a very compelling case had we proceeded to trial. While the issues that I have mentioned above are the most important, I think that it is also noteworthy that Mr. Kuehl was very kind and empathetic toward me throughout the time that I worked with him. His fees were also significantly more reasonable than the other attorney I had worked with and than others with whom I consulted - something not easily found in Chicago. This country would be a much better place if all attorneys were more like Bob Kuehl.
