Firm is a Legal Scam

All they do is continue cases to charge you for court appearances. They don't fight for you and instead make you give up everything. Then request full balance immediately and if you don't have the 20k for them saying continue you are back in court in under 30 days. I signed the agreement and for t...he next 8 months she went to court and said continued. When agreement was finalized nothing had changed in 8 months other than be charged.

I'm sorry to hear you had a frustrating court process. I do not recognize the situation as you have described it here, nor do I see a name associated with this review to reach out to you personally. If you contact my office, I would be happy to review and discuss your concerns about the process and any balance you may have with the firm.

Beware

I hired Chantel Host to handle my complicated divorce, Chantel handed it down to Jamie, without my permission and I ended up having to get a more competent attorney that understood small family business and divorce. I was not properly informed and certainly did NOT get what I paid for. Chantel or J...amie are not worth the money. After we got my file, my new attorneys were baffled about how much work had NOT been done.

Best Young Attorney in Will County

I recently hired Chantal Host and Jamie to work on some post divorce custody issues. They have been nothing short of fantastic, Jamie is extremely smart and has always set realistic expectations. She should definitely be recognized for her professionalism and knowledge of the law.

Young and Hungry

Jamie and her team, Leanne and Gina, worked hard and communicated with me and opposing counsel throughout the process of getting my case brought to a quick close. Reasonable dialogue and realistic expectations kept me at one court appearance to bring a close to this proceeding. I was impressed enou...gh to (unfortunately) refer them to a close family member who is also benefitting from their familiarity with the Will County courthouse and it's presiding judges. It made all the difference in the world. Hopefully I never need them again but I'm glad I found them when I needed them the most.

Best New Lawyer Money Can Buy

Ms. Jamie Collins helped me on my on-going post-divorce case. I was struck by Ms. Collins confidence, poise and knowledge of my case and the practical workings of the legal system in Will County. She is a newer member of the firm as an associate attorney, yet I had no reservations trusting her with... me case. This speaks volumes about her abilities and the firm that recognized her skills. Sometimes what I see in the court room and hallways on the third floor of the court house, is crazy scary. Ms. Collins and my other lawyer, Chantal Host, gave me every confidence that they would work hard on my behalf and, if the news was bad, they knew how to explain it in empathetic reasoned ways. Going to court is very stressful and the unexpected delays and sudden changes in the case make it worse. Ms. Collins, while not a miracle-worker, sure can calm the fears and get a fair settlement.
