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.

I hired this attorney for the eviction of a tenant. Not only did she file it in the wrong county which postponed the process by thirty days while my tenant was living rent free but she also negotiated with him when they went to court costing me an additional month with additional expenses that could... have been avoided. Worst service ever. Do yourself a favor and hire a real professional.

We are property management company that is a client of Lori Quest. She has represented us exclusively for over 5 years. She is a very capable attorney and has a good report with the judicial staff in cook county. She is diligent and versed. If you are looking for a competent attorney to handle your c...ommercial property needs call Lori.

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!

Lori is simply amazing!!!! I was referred to her by a co-worker who told me that she is the nicest person and that I would not be disappointed. They were right! My son's mom left before Thanksgiving to go to her parents house in Texas. One week turned into three and three turned into almost three mon...ths. She kept delaying and giving different excuses as to why she was not coming back with our son. Lori came to my rescue!! I had already hired before this happened to figure out custody and child support. When my son's mom finally said she wasn't coming Lori promptly filed an Emergency Motion for my son's return and for temporary and permanent custody. The case is still ongoing, but Lori has kept me calm with her expertise, knowledge and demeanor. She has kept me updated on the entire process and make sure that I understand and comfortable with her actions in court. She is very reasonably priced at a flat rate and worth way more than what I have to pay. I've only paid the retainer fee and the filing fees (when appropriate) and she doesn't even want the remaining balance till after we've been to court. I'm grateful for her service and you will be too!!!
