Lori Lee Quist

When choosing an attorney to represent you in a legal matter it is most important to choose one that is an expert in the legal matter you are facing. I cannot stress this enough to help ensure that your best interest and legal rights are protected. Every attorney will tell you they can represent you ...in any matter, but a good attorney will only really want to take the case if they know they are versed in the specific matter relating to the case in question. I have used many attorneys for many cases over the years, but I have never used one that is, so laser focused on her niche of practicing law than Lorie Quest. I chose Lori because she is an expert in representing clients in real estate and housing matters. She is brilliant, aggressive, and fully transparent of what is always going on with your case. One of the best things about Lori is that she knows the law and loves practicing it to a lever most other attorney will never reach. Lori is widely respected in the legal community by other attorneys and judges alike. She has gained this respect because she is a no BS attorney that wants to get cases resolved and not to simply keep continuing matters for financial gain. She knows how the legal system works in Chicagoland and the neighboring countries which also make a huge difference, in other words she knows people. If you need representation in a legal matter that is related to a housing or real estate, you cannot afford not to run the case by Lori first before choosing an attorney for representation.

Lori was very gracious at first hire for an eviction. After getting her all the paper work that she needed, she went in and got a judgment, however the amount was $10,000 off. Called her office to get this straightened out, Lori could not be bothered by me. She NEVER returned a phone call. Its be...en four months and I still have not received a copy of my judgment so I (and I stress the word "I" because I have to be the one to go and have it filed with the sheriff's office). Can't file with the sheriff if I don't have a copy of the judgment and amended judgment. Lori DOES NOT return phone calls. Once she gets your money, you don't hear from her and she is very unprofessional. In fact, two of her workers quit during the time period that I have been a client. It's been four months, I still don't have my judgment, order of possession and my squatter tenant is still in the home that I own. Please think twice before hiring her.

I hired Atty.Quist to represent me in a eviction case,that I filed pro se.She told me she would appear on my behalf and she would notify me if I need to appear in court. I called Atty.Quist on numerous times for updates. When I was able to get a hold of her,she gives me instructions for her assistant...,who knows nothing about my case.She had constant turnovers of assistants. None were allow to go into the files without Atty. Quist permission. Atty Quist never initiated any calls to me and it became very difficult to contact her. Finally she tells me the case is going to trial and she will notify of the date. She NEVER did. Again I called her several times to get a trial date from her or her assistant. I left many,many text messages and voicemails all to no avail. Atty Quist never notifiedme of my trial date by phone,mail or E-mail. She never discussed preparation for the trial or any documents that would be needed. I hired Atty. Quist because she said that she would protect my rights and that my case was "winable". She did nothing to represent me and instead cost me a judgement of $969.00 I lost months of rental income and property damages by the tenant. Atty Quist has cause me additional financial loss and ruined my credit. There was no way I would've missed a court appearance or even filed an appeal,if I was notified. I don't understand how Atty Quist can practice law in this manner.
