Real Estate 45%

Buying and selling real estate is never an easy transaction. Every transaction is different, but they all have deadlines under which various aspects must be addressed in a timely fashion. The purpose of my representation is to make sure all the different moving parts of the transaction are moving towards closing, and to protect you from any collateral problems that might arise. I worry about the details, so you can concentrate on moving.

Estate Planning 40%

A natural progression after buying a home is to make sure that home is protected in a properly drafted estate plan that ensures your real estate and other property goes to the people you want it to go to. No one ever plans on dying, but we all do. Leaving no direction for where your property should go, can be an unnecessarily costly court event for your heirs.

40%
Business 15%

Many small business owners are good at what they do, but confused at how to handle the legal side of what they do. Most partners in business also know that they don't always make decisions the same way. Without clear operating guides to help define how legal issues and business decisions are to be dealt with, a business can self-destruct. I can help a small business owner have clear structure and operating documents, so the business runs smoothly.

Artistry Level

Joe was fantastic to work with. In the often stressful and chaotic process of selling our home and buying another Joe navigated obstacles before they become problems, he correctly advised us of wise actions, and he handled countless issues throughout the process. We could not have been happier with h...ow Joe interacted with us and how he handled our purchase and sale.

Great defense attorney in Maywood/cook county court

Joe is not flashy....knows the law and trial procedure, is always respectful even if I want him to ask tougher questions...knows what to do to get not guilty findings

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Agnello for well over a decade. I have gone up against him when he was a Cook County Prosecutor, and I have worked with him on matters when he went into private practice. To this day, he is one of the most knowledgeable and prepared attorneys out there. He has earned, and maintained the respect of his peers; often referred to as "a lawyer's lawyer". I have often turned to him for advice, and I never hesitate to refer a case to him, because I know the client will receive excellent service and representation. Most importantly, as good of a lawyer as he is, he's even a better person. That is why I endorse this lawyer."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the honor of working with Mr. Agnello for a number of years. Joe is a sophisticated and adept trial attorney who has the unique ability to communicate to clients, opposing counsel and juries in a very down to earth and comprehensive manner. His knowledge of the law and extensive experience working in the various court systems throughout Illinois make him a formidable advocate. He is always well prepared, as are his clients because he counsels them in a straight forward manner and he makes the nuances of the law understandable. Joe thinks well on his feet in the heat of trial; and he is not one to back away from difficult challenges. His results speak to the respect he has earned in the courtroom, both from Judges and opposing attorneys. I seek his counsel often because of the integrity he has demonstrated throughout his career. I recommend Joseph S. Agnello highly and would not hesitate to hire him if I was in need of an aggressive counselor and attorney."
