Lori Lee Quist

I really appreciate Lori’s help with my eviction case. I was quite frustrated by my case before finding Lori who was recommended by my other lawyer. She really listened to me and made me feel safe and calm. She is always smiling and kind. My eviction case was complicated and Lori was always patient a...nd showed cares. My tenant treated her very badly during the trials and even tried to hurt her. With all these, Lori never gave up helping me. Also, during the whole process, she has been giving me advices on each steps and explains things very thoroughly. In my opinion, that is very helpful for people like me who has no experience at all. I would say without her, things cannot go so smoothly. I would recommend Lori to anyone. She really wants to and is able to help!

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.

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.

Before I was recommended to see Lori for my complicated, child custody case, I hired an attorney out of desperation because I was prevented to see my children due to false accusations. Regardless of how unfair I feel about the initial visitation schedules, I was told to agree temporary for the sake o...f seeing my children again. When the initial court date was finally established, that attorney ended up dropping my case, with an excuse saying that I can’t afford them. It was very contradicting of them to mention that I can’t afford them, when they advertised themselves as an affordable law firm that will work with clients with payments. When I talked to one of my good friends about my situations, she recommended that I consult my case with Lori. My first impression with Lori was wonderful! When I first talked to her, because her office (at the time) was very far, she was willing to accommodate with my work schedule and waited for me. And even though her office was already closed, she still take the time to listen to my child custody issues, was very understanding, and still accept my case, even though it was considered complicated. When Lori came to the first court date, I was really impressed with how she handled the case. While the opposing counsel was very rude and unprofessional to Lori and the Judge, Lori remained calm, professional, and respectful at the same time. During the child custody case, with all the obstacles, accusations, and games that the opposing counsel(s) did to make me seems like an unfit mother, Lori’s integrity, determination, knowledge, compassion and hard work have proven again and again that the claims were false and the truth prevailed. And when she sensed my discomforts/fears of the opposing counsel/client, she makes sure that I feel protected, safe and reassured. I cannot say that I agree or disagree about the negative comments, but I feel that even though each case are different, at the end, everything depends on the honesty, patience, communication and team work between clients and their counsel(s). There are many clients that expect their attorney to do everything for them because “they pay them to do so”, and there are attorneys that don’t do their work on a timely manner because they are trying to get as much money as possible from their clients. But Lori has many times, shown that she cares about her client and looked out for the best interest in her clients. Money wasn’t her priority, and was only involved when the services/fees was applied and necessary. Again, it’s a team effort and honesty between clients and attorney. And the results will depends on what was given to the attorney(s) to present it to the judge to make the case strong. From the beginning to the end of the child custody case, Lori remained very kind, compassionate and professional. With the retainer fees and other court related cost, she is very reasonable and fair. She never gave me a feeling of being abandoned because she is very reliable and have always been honest about the case. I really appreciated that she goes out of her way, even with her busy schedules, to check up on me. I truly feel that Lori cares about her clients and do her very best to accommodate with her clients’ requests and needs. I am very grateful that she represents my case. I couldn’t asked for anyone better to represent me and will definitely hire her again if needed!
