Lori Lee Quist

I don't know how there can be so many positive reviews from other people. Based on this one and only case that I will ever use her for, she has been nothing but a complete nightmare of an attorney for me. She missed two of the actual appearances and had someone else show up for them. But neither s...tand in attorneys would advise me of anything on the cases. I specifically asked for the case to be heard in markham because I knew Markham would only give the tenant two weeks to play court date games. She said that chicago was better for her and they were all the same. Well 14 weeks later and I still didn't have a possession order or know the results of the hearing. So clearly they are not the same. In the second court hearing in early december, The tenant's attorney offered to be out by the 1st of January if I agreed to give up the money claim. By agreeing to let them stay an additional month, I was explicitly told by Lori over the phone (the actual attorney that stood in for her refused to give me any advice as he said I was not his client) that I would automatically get a judgment of possession and the money if the tenants were not out by the 1st. So I agreed. First of jan came and went and nothing. She then told me that on the court date on Jan 4 i would get possession but not necessarily the money. What????? Thats why agreed to the extra month in the first place. So of course she was out of town on the 4th and had someone stand in for her AGAIN. She told me several times they would contact me with the results on both the possession and the money. Nothing. I called and left vmails. Sent emails. She was back on the 9th. But she didn't respond until the 12th. On the 12th she emailed and said we didn't get a money judgement. But the kicker was she didn't give me a single thing on the possession order ruling. Was it granted? If so, for what date? Her one email said she'd get me a copy of the order but then she never did. Not until Jan 24 after I filed this complaint. Not to mention, the whole reason I tried her is because she said she would file the possession order downtown with the sheriff's office which saves me an entire day off work. But this attorney is impossible to contact. She absolutely misled me about the agreement back in december in telling me I would get the judgement for possession AND money if they weren't out by the Jan 1 date.. DO NOT use this attorney. She's incredibly unresponsive. When she doesn't show to her own cases she doesn't have people that stand in for her cases that will act as your attorney in terms of advising what the results actually were. She's been an absolute nightmare for me to get any answers from!

I am a first time landlord this year and found a tenant that never paid on-time and missed payments altogether. Lori was on point from the first conversation and was able to tell me typical patterns of poor tenants with inherent knowledge. My tenant met all of the criteria and we were able to mov...e forward that week. She was also able to navigate through the eviction process in DuPage county with precision and we received a judgement in just over two weeks. Very Satisfied and would recommend. -G
