Great job administering my Mom's estate - Thank you very much.

Mr. Lee was extremely helpful in administering my Mom's estate after she passed away. Mr. Lee was very professional and possessed great legal knowledge. He always communicated with me in a timely manner. Mr. Lee was readily available at a moment's notice and was always on time for meetings to disc...uss matters. During a very sad time, he made administering my Mom's estate quite painless. He was able to communicate all the legal matters to me in easy to understand terms. I was beyond satisfied with the outcome of his legal work for me. I would definitely recommend him to other people. In fact, I already have.

Phill did a phenomenal job in no time! He is Top notch at an affordable price!

i was involved in a hit and run auto accident. The case was a huge mess, misunderstandings and lies! There was 6 charges against me and No lawyer wanted to take my case because they said it wouldn't make enough money. I started off with a public defender and 5 months later my case was basically in th...e exact place it started. Then i was referred to Mr Lee and he without a doubt took my case. He responded right away to me. He was not only quick at taking my case he was quick at winning it! By the next court date that had already been scheduled, Phill got the greater 5 charges dropped and i was deemed not guilty. I was amazed!!! His availability is fantastic and so is his knowledge, and he was on time. On a different issue, the police department had 2 laptops a phone and a few other things stored as evidence until my case was over...Once my case ended the police department said my property had been destroyed. Phill helped me get a really nice settlement check from the police department! At all times within both of my cases phillip kept me up to date and never did anything without previously consulting with me. I was informed on every single step and everything was my decision.

Goes above and beyond

I hired Phillip to help me with some legal issues with an insurance company. Not only was he able to win the case, but he went above and beyond for getting rid of of some nasty out of state collections. He worked in junction with the state to get the unworhty insurance company to pay. It was a ha...rd time for me but Phillip took alot of weight of my shoulders. Phill was very professional and kept me in the loop the whole time. He always returned all my phone calls and emails in a very short time. On top of all this, Phillip is is vey knowledeable and reliable.

Took a huge weight off my shoulders, outstanding lawyer!

I hired Phil to straighten out some issues I was having with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Secretary of State - two of Illinois' more vile and disagreeable governmental bodies as far as I was able to tell. My own efforts in negotiating with them got me nowhere and actually ...made everything worse. Phil took care of everything across the board. He kept me informed of my case and was very proactive in keeping me on track to get through these difficult situations. I feel very relieved that it is all over and I can finally get on with my life. I also want to mention that I randomly ran into him at a bar in downtown Joliet. Phil is one of the most interesting and hilarious people I have ever met. A great lawyer and a very cool guy who "gets it" - very relatable, personable, and real. I highly recommend Phil to anyone!

An attorney who has real intergrity

Phil helped me facilitate a couple large entertainment deals I was working on. He didn't hesitate to give me his honest opinion. Phil was professional but more importantly, I really felt like it's a guy I'm going to use for years. Phil didn't just explain everything to me in legal terms. He simpl...ified everything & helped me make the right decisions. A lot of attorneys try to tell you what to do. They run up hours and fees. Phil was up front honest and showed me the best way to execute the contracts he had worked on with me. He was there by my side from the start to finish. Highly recommended, thanks Phil!
