Amazing Lawyer

I used Jesse for my divorce. He made everything very easy for me. He was very through on all the paperwork and didn’t leave any stone unturned. He really knows what he is doing and is very knowledgeable. In addition, he was personable, easy to talk to and understanding. He answered any questions abov...e and beyond and kept me informed throughout the process. He definitely has a lot of experience and knows the laws forward and backward. I felt comfortable in trusting him with my case. He is fair and always had the best interest of me and my children in mind. I would highly recommend him!

Great advice and representation

Jesse did an outstanding job with my case. He was very responsive and professional; a very good communicator. He always took his time and was clear and concise when answering my questions. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Very professional and educated in Law

Jesse was very informative and prompt when handling my case. I was referred to him from a close friend who also was represented by Jesse and was very pleased with his services. My case was prolonged due to the fault of the other party involved, but Jesse took extreme measures to ensure we were heard ...and sped up the process as much as possible. I highly recommend Jesse for any family law cases.

Well , better late than never . 27 years later. Hi Jesse .

In the early 90s I used Jesse . He was a young up and coming attorney . I met him through his girlfriend at the time who I worked with at Midwest Mortgage . Jesse did an amazing job and he hadn't been practicing very long . He did such a good job the judge that day called 5 Elmhurst Police officers ...in to his private chambers to chew each and every one of them out for illegal entry , no probable cause , and not following proper procedures and protocols. Jesse and I celebrated after court that day . He roasted these guys in court . They didn't have a frickn chance against Jesse . That was 27 years ago . I cant imagine how much his skills and knowledge has evolved since then . Thanks again Jesse . Havn't seen you in decades . I hope you read this . David Grohe

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.
