Robert Patrick O'Dekirk

Ignore the negative reviews. Bob has handled my extremely long, difficult custody case very well. His style is NOT for everybody. I needed an attorney to tell me when to shut up and what to be doing (I hired him for his counsel; and that is what I get!). Yes his paralegal Shannon is rude; but hon...estly, she gets beat up all day by clients for all the attorneys in the firm, so cut her some slack. She is very nice in person. Bob is the new Mayor of Joliet, so he only handles a few cases and is busy. However; if you can get him, take him!

I will be honest, I was a bit unsure if Bob at first reading the negative Avvo comments. All I can say is ignore them! They must have been written by some of Bob's bitter victims. The man is dynamite in court and has helped me in a very long, drawn out custody battle against a vindictive ex. I have t...o say, having Bob on your side gives you peace of mind. Once my ex saw how aggressively Bob would pursue my case, she became much more reasonable.

I would recommend Mr. O'Dekirk and his firm to anyone needing assistance with a family law case. His team is knowledgeable, compassionate, and they did everything in their power to get the outcome I wanted in my case. The staff in the office were friendly and always helpful in either answering my cal...ls and questions or ensuring that I received a prompt response. I would highly recommend this firm and can say that they fought for me from day one.

Absolutely fantastic attorney.... He is very knowledgeable of family law amd represented me in a very professional manner. He got me everyything I wanted in the case. The case was reharding a change of custody for my child. I described the sitaution to him he did a full backround into the case amd th...e oitcome was just what I wanted. He proved that the mother of my childs boyfriend was a danger to my child he proved that her mother was unfit and he got me everything I needed regarding the case. You dont need to hire any other attorneys or even look this is the attorney for you. Him and his staff are amazing.

Attorney O'Dekirk represented me throughout my divorce and custody battle. I was thrilled with the outcome and could not be more pleased with the representation that I had throughout the case. Attorney O'Dekirk was kind, compassionate, and made sure that I was aware of what was transpiring during e...very step of my case. I would highly recommend him and his firm in any family law related issues.
