Expensive for nothing

I went to see this lawyer for my case and he told me there was many ways to resolve in your favor. He told me he was the # 1 lawyer around and If I retained him ,he would be at court day one. Since he told me he had all this experience and he would handle the case, l retained him. He never showed u...p at court and never discussed anything about the case with me. He had a male associate who had appeared in court and never discussed any strategy to resolve the case in my favor. He seemed to have no experience in this type of case at all. His associate never wrote any motions. This Tomczak makes you believe that he is personally going to appear and diligently work on your case but does nothing.

Bait and Switch

We hired Jeff Tomczak and his Law Group. He told us about all his past accomplishments. Jeff assured us that we made a wise choice in choosing "The BEST Law Group in Will County" . After initially talking about the case, he said it would be an open and close case. He told me that HE would be the one ...working my case, however 3 months later, still no Tomczak. Instead, he sent one of his other attorneys, Bob Bodack. I called the office three times, left messages, and received no calls back. I finally got a call back from Jeff, because I stopped making payments. I did not want to hire the other attorneys at the law firm, I wanted Jeff. He said that all of the attorneys were his lawyers, and whoever was available would take the case. Due to Jeff's reputation, he was the one I wanted. However, Jeff no longer seems to want to take on cases, and just wants to take money for work poorly done. I did not hire Bob Bodack. I have never seen anything about Mr. Bodack, and would not have hired him if that was who I initially spoke with. He showed up late to every court date, had no information or knowledge of my case, and overall just did NOT have the confidence you would expect from a lawyer working for "The BEST Law Group in Will County". After I realized that Tomczak could not care less, I decided I no longer needed his law firm's services. DO YOUR RESEARCH. After making my decision, I found an awesome, young lawyer out of St. Charles, whom I am very pleased with. PS. We had to leave a star in order to leave a review. So, I guess we will leave one star for his initial presentation, because he had us fooled.
