Excellent legal representation

Attorney Robert (Bob) Kuehl is extremely responsive when communicating with his clients. He is very knowledgeable and compassionate about assisting his clients win resolving their legal issues. He’s truly a one of a kind Attorney which is very rare these days! I would strongly recommend letting him r...epresent you as your legal counsel.

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.

Genuine and Approachable!

Bob is professional, open-minded, and compassionate. I contacted him about an issue I had with a company who owed me money, and he provided me with sound advice and a multitude of options during the initial consultation. We have exchanged several email and phone conversations since then at no charge.... Bob practices law with integrity and looks after his client's best interest. I would be comfortable hiring his firm if I needed legal representation for my case.

He conducts himself with the utmost intergrity, and seeks true justice and the well-being of his clients, above all else. With Mr. Kuehl, yo...u can be entirely confident that all your concerns will be met with the best possible solutions. my family and I tremendously thankful to Mr. Kuehl and his firm. They are the best of the best.

SUPERB AND SENSITIVE ATTORNEY

I have worked with Attorney Bob Kuehl on several issues regarding Illinois Tort and Personal Injury Law. Attorney Kuehl is superb in terms of possessing extensive (almost encyclopedic) knowledge of the law as it applies to his areas of specialization; in his sensitivity and authentic caring for his c...lient's emotional well-being as they experience the stress that often accompanies legal proceedings; and in his absolute commitment to protecting his client's best interests from a legal perspective. Consulting with Atty. Kuehl, it quickly becomes evident that he possesses exceptional vision as to the possible ramifications of taking legal action to address incidents where one has been a victim of "wrongdoing," and appropriately points these possibilities out during consultation, so that a prospective client is well informed and enlightened in decision-making. Atty. Kuehl is very generous with his time and it is evident that his key priority is to focus on his client's best interests rather on his fees, which to begin with, are very reasonable. He also provides clients with a wealth of resources and information for further research. This humanistic and service-oriented "construct" for provision of legal services is refreshing, inspiring and practically extinct, in today's profit-driven market. I am most deeply and sincerely grateful to Atty. Robert Kuehl. I am proud to know him, and thankful for the fact that someone with his humanistic and ethical values, in combination with his brilliant command of his field, exists in this challenging and convoluted world. God bless you for the work you do, and for your exceptional caliber as a human being, Mr. Kuehl!

Replied last May 22, 2017

I just wanted to note, in response to the appearance of the word specialization in this very kind and very well-written review, that the Illinois Supreme Court does not recognize any specialty/expertise certification, and that an Illinois lawyer in this context is prohibited from representing himself/herself as a specialist, under Rule 7.4 of the rules of professional conduct governing Illinois attorneys.
