Disloyal

My brother had him as a lawyer in 2016-2018. Mr. Sperry took his money $12,000 an walked away from the case without saying a word. My family has tried to contact him but nothing. I do not wanna call him something he his not. I’m black an he is white.

Professional, Responsive, Personable, and Experienced

My husband and I met Mr. Sperry under unfortunately bizarre circumstances. It happened that we needed a second attorney for our case, and Mr. Sperry was the perfect complement to our initial attorney. He was professional, very knowledgeable in case law, and ensured that we were prepared in the event ...we had to go to court. We feel it was his citing case law that helped to dismiss our case entirely. While our experience was traumatic, Mr. Sperry was definitely a source of assurance that helped to ease any of our worries or doubts. His demeanor, responsiveness, and experience made us feel like we had a covert heavy hitter in our corner. We are so grateful for his work in representing us, and cannot recommend him enough. Should you need quality representation, you should be so fortunate to work with Mr. Sperry.

Excellent lawyer&team

My wife and I hired Mr. Sperry for our Immigration Process of getting the Lawful Permanent Residency for my self through Legal Marriage. Mr. Sperry and his team made it feel; easy, smooth and pleasurable. Keep the process in a very professional manner, down to the ground and simple. Thanks for y...our support and hard work. 100% recommended.

A FANTASTIC lawyer!

My son lived in Illinois and was fighting DCFS for custody of his children. I found Mr. Sperry through the recommendation of another attorney that practiced law in St. Charles, IL. My son called his office and had a consultation with him the next working day. He was so thorough in explaining in deta...il how he can help my son, and regularly contacted him on the status of his custody fight. Although my son’s situation was VERY complicated and VERY unique, Mr. Sperry was able to work a miracle, and my son got his children back within just a few weeks. My son now lives in a different state with his children and is grateful every single day for Mr. Sperry. Please, if you know of anyone who is fighting DCFS, have them contact Mr. Sperry ASAP!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
