Adam has been my family law attorney for about 2 years. He recently helped me gain sole legal custody of my children and residential parent, several years after a bad settlement the first time around.
What great about him is he actually listens. He will tell you the truth and what he can and cannot do for you. He's a great communicator and he ALWAYS followed up with me. He returned my emails in a timely manner and when he went to court on my case the same day or next day I'd receive an update email.
Unlike my 1st attorney who I felt didn't care about my case, Adam never let me down, he remembered the details of my case and it showed time and time again. Setting expectations and having good communication is so important for easing your nerves during a court process. His office staff is really nice and efficient too. Highly recommend!!
Very concise in explaining what he could and couldn’t do. Took the time to listen to my concerns and address the most significant issues in a timely manner. I only had a few issues with emails, but he handled them when the secretary was out and made sure I got the paperwork. He also explained that there is no guarantee on how “fast” you can be divorced. There are multiple factors at play. I would hire him again and definitely recommend him!

Efficient, relatable and knowledgeable
Adam was by far the best family law attorney I've ever worked with. His knowledge of family laws and rapport with court and counsel far exceeded anything I had hoped for. My case was complex and lengthy when Adam entered yet he went above and beyond to ensure I not only understood various potential outcomes but also protected what was in my best interest. Not to mention his fees were extremely reasonable, and definitely worth every penny, plus more. His calm and reassuring demeanor make him one of the best attorneys, hands down.

I Would Highly Recommend Adam Gynac
If you’re reading this, maybe you need an attorney. I’m sure there are good lawyers out there, but if you’re in a situation needing legal representation you want an excellent attorney like Adam Gynac.
Earlier this year, I went through a very nasty divorce. It was one of the worst times of my life. After interviewing several lawyers, I chose Adam. He was professional and confident and I left his office with peace of mind. It was a contested case dealing with a difficult judge and ex-spouse. With his wisdom and expertise, Adam fought and successfully won a fair settlement for me. Adam always kept me informed of the status of my case promptly returning my calls or emails offering sound advice. I always knew and understood what the next step would be. As I stated earlier, Adam helped me during a very difficult time and helped me get my life back on track. All I can say is, if you ever need representation, do not go to court unless Adam Gynac is standing by your side.

I will be working with Adam again in the future
I was referred to Adam from a family member for representation in Will County. Adam did a great job on my divorce case and I would highly recommend his services. He was very specific, explained all options and the best route and possible outcomes for all scenarios during the case. His staff too was professional and prompt and did a very good job. You need a good lawyer during the most difficult times in life, Adam was the one.

Competent and Caring
I hired Adam when I discovered my attorney literally did the very opposite of what I wanted in my divorce case. Adam was very direct and knowledgeable about Family Law. I have been devastated by the damage my first attorney has done - losing custody and having to pay child support. The divorce is now final and with Adam's help, we are on a journey to recover custody of my children from my convicted child abusing ex husband. I am confident that with Adam's mastery of and tenacity for Family Law and doing right, my children will be legally returned back with me where they belong.

True Professional
If you need a divorce lawyer Adam is your answer. I had 3 lawyers before Adam, he called me before court, he was very prepared, we went to court and for the first time in 2 plus years the decision went my way. My thanks to the Davi Law Group in Wheaton

Excellent Child Custody/Family Matters Lawyer
My legal situation is somewhat unique in that I have been divorced for over ten years and just recently have been back in court with my ex-husband regarding our son wanting to be homeschooled. My ex is adamantly against homeschooling even though I have a masters degree in education and 14 years experience in the public school system. Adam took on my case with vigor and proved his integrity both in the courtroom and through developing a professional, reassuring client relationship. When the opposing attorney resulted to slime tactics, Adam maintained a factual and professional demeanor, leading the judge to a fair and just conclusion. Adam was retained in an emergency situation where we literally had 24 hours to prepare for court. He put forth the necessary time and energy to be there for me and has maintained that level of attention ever since. I highly recommend Adam for cases involving child custody and family issues.

Professional and Results-Orientated Counsel
Mr. Gynac was my representative counsel in a recent highly-contested divorce case. I appreciated Mr. Gynac's approach of relaying honest and realistic expectations to me about the case, the legal process, and my litigation options at every juncture of the case. Mr. Gynac was on top of the case and was very responsive to my inquiries throughout. His professionalism was part of his litigation tactics to the extent that he argued the right issues at the right time and in the right way. He totally out-classed the opposing law firm and its counsel. I would give Mr. Gynac a very high rating for successful courtroom litigating skills, a huge factor that facilitated a favorable outcome for my case.

Outstanding Divorce Lawyer
At one of the most difficult times of your life, facing a divorce, you need a lifeline that you know will fight for you and has the professional skill set, demonstrated success and calming demeanor to steer you through the journey ahead. Adam Gynac was hands-down that lifeline for me through a challenging 18 months. He is extremely knowledgeable of Divorce and Family Custody laws and has developed strong relationships with County Judges that over the years he has worked with on committees as well as demonstrated strong ethics in front of them during court proceedings. Having a Lawyer that is well-respected and obviously liked by the Judge made me feel confident every time I was in court with Adam. It always felt like I had the "edge" and the "tie" would lean our way. As a male facing a divorce that I was blind-sided by my wife's Divorce filing, finding a Lawyer that would help me protect my rights with my children as well as protect my fair share of assets was my number one priority. I am so thankful that I had Adam from day one. He was always responsive to my requests. He was always cognizant of keeping my costs down by being very efficient in all that he did, whether it was communicating succinctly via email with all action points and recaps over phone conversations or by driving action with opposing counsel instead of allowing things to drag out. In the end, my ex-wife ran legal expenses through multiple Lawyers she replaced at twice the dollar billings I incurred with Adam, yet I feel I ended up with the strongest representation. I was able to keep the family residence, maintain fair share of my assets and secure child visitation that I am very happy with. I am extremely pleased with Adam and so thankful he was here for me throughout the entire ordeal. I would be happy to provide any reference regarding Adam if any prospective clients would like to speak to an actual client of his.

The opinion expressed herein is my own personal opinion. I would not use or recommend Adam Gynac.
It is from my own personal experience and therefore my own personal opinion in working with Adam Gynac that he is unprofessional, unfair, and in my particular situation made me very emotional to the point of tears. I bared my soul to him on the phone, on emails w valid proof from other professionals and in person as to how manipulative my ex was, only to be “eye rolled” back by him when describing my pain.
I honestly do feel he is a narcissist, a complete male chauvinist and quite down right rude.
I would never personally recommend him to anyone.
Also, I feel he did not have both of my children’s best interest at heart.
As a female, I truly felt completely discriminated against.

Never
I, too, was handed off to this guy from the attorney I had originally hired to handle my case. He seemed a bit too friendly to opposing counsel, and motions and orders were always prepared "on the run". Not much discussion on specifics. Therefore in dealing with later issues, it was discovered that orders were vague in their content, and nearly unenforceable. Nothing was ever considered final. It continues to this day. I am happy to say that I have retained an attorney who is aggressive and willing to fight for my causes.

Response from Adam GynacMay 21, 2013
I have no idea who this anonymous poster is. Further, I don't think this person was ever actually a client of my firm. I would never "do nothing" on a client's file for 8 months; that's not how I or my law firm operates. Further, the way our local divorce courts work, most parties would be forced to address certain issues, such as clarifying their intentions on custody and visitation, within the first 90-120 days of their case having been filed, even if they were dragging their feet on those matters. In the unlikely event this person actually was a client of mine, rest assured there would be more to the story than what was posted here.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Adam is an extremely intelligent and skilled attorney. However, it is his dedication and attention to detail which really sets him apart from the rest. He has a passion for the law which is evident by both the stellar reputation he has earned in his practice and his experience teaching as an adjunct professor at Rasmussen College. I highly recommend Adam in the area of family law, and I have the utmost confidence that any client of his will be in very good hands."
