Joseph John Bogdan

I can’t thank my attorney Joseph Bogdan and associate attorney David Mattson enough for the work they did on my case. As a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator in Illinois, I received an Immediate Jeopardy citation from an IDPH survey, which was an incredibly stressful and overwhelming situation. Fr...om the beginning, attorney Joseph and David took the time to really listen and understand what I was dealing with from the case itself to my emotional and physical stress this has caused. They explained the process in a way that was easy to follow, gave me clear guidance on what to expect, and were always quick to respond to my questions. What impressed me most was how knowledgeable and dedicated they were. They knew exactly how to handle the complexities of the IDPH and IDPFR process and hold a very strong working relationship with IDPH and IDPFR. They also helped me feel supported every step of the way. Their professionalism and advocacy made a huge difference in the outcome of my case. Attorney Joseph has extensive experience with IDPH and is very knowledgeable with IDPH administrative hearings, which certainly made this process VERY easy and understandable. I am truly grateful for everything attorney Joseph and David did to help me through this challenge, and I would HIGHLY recommend them to any Licensed Nursing Home Administrator who needs strong, reliable legal representation that is facing an Administrative Hearing.

For those who actually got a positive result from him. I’m happy for you. However, here’s my experience. I’m a licensed healthcare professional that got into trouble with the law by accident few years ago. He was referred to me by one of my friends. Before I retained him as an attorney, my friend ...warned me that Joseph “tend to making too much promise” but “he is a smart guy”. I wasn’t sure what that means back then, because I was desperate, I paid him $5000 (which is a lot compare to other attorney, others usually charge $3500) to retain him and let him working on my case. During the first year, I was facing too much uncertainty, therefore, I had lots of questions for him and of course, he charge me EVERY SINGLE MINUTE ($450 per hr, $112 per 15 mins) and he round up those mins, so for those time i called him for 6, 7 or 10 mins, I still get charged for 15 mins. Bills aside, what’s really bother me was his professionalism. Most of the time, it always took a long time for him to respond to my email, text or voice mail. Sometimes just no respond at all. He didn’t keep me updated about that’s going on (for example, my current attorney, he usually reply to me within few mins if he’s not in court or busy or had his associates reached out. He also forwards me the emails communications between him and the IDFPR people.) so I’m basically in the dark until he needs something from me. I was thinking about switching to other attorney during this process but he talked me to stay. I am licensed in multiple states and one of my licenses was due for renewal. I decided to let Jospeh to handle my renewal and self-reporting. Knowing him probably won’t get to it right away, I send in all the required paperwork to him 30 days prior to the deadline, him and Patrick (long story short, I don’t recommend Patrick Callahan either) still couldn’t get it done til few days before the renewal deadline. Few months after my conviction, IDFPR decided to discipline my license. With Jospeh’s “help”, I got the second worse deal with the IDFPR and I even signed the paper agreed with the conditions. However, after some research and paid consult with other attorney, I realized I got a horrible deal and thank god I still had time to retract it. It only took two emails from my new attorney (he CC me on all the emails with the IDFPR) to get me a way better deal. That’s when I realized Jospeh didn’t fight for me at all. If you are thinking about hire him, proceed with caution. I know he does some MPJE tutoring, so that explains some of his 5.0 ratings. Joseph is known for “won’t fight” among his IDFPR peers. Money comes and goes but if your attorney doesn’t have your best interest in mind, your license/career will be done forever.

I went to Dr.Bogdan after I failed the MPJE law exam. He helped me not only pass the exam but build my confidence too. He knows what is important for the exam and gives you a lot of tips and tricks to help you remember what you need too. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Thank you Dr.Bo...gdan.

Dr. Bogdan was great help when I had to remediate for my pharmacy licensure. We read thru all the documents pertaining to pharmacy from IDFPR and I found many questions I had on my exam from there. In school, he provided a review, but this packet is for general knowledge to help you pass. If you are ...doing well on the exam, you get harder and harder questions and you do not know where the questions may come from. My third attempt at the ILMPJE, I can proudly say I passed. I was getting some real interesting questions, and a lot started to come from what we read. He was very helpful and explained concepts and clarified if I misunderstood things. I would recommend going to Dr. Bogdan for MPJE help anytime.

You never believe it can happen to you. You do your best to do everything right, you work hard, and somewhere between all of that, you believe that doing so will protect you and keep you from harm. When I received a complaint against my professional license I was in shock. I was scared that I was goi...ng to lose my career and everything that I had personally built. It was a mess...I felt like a mess trying to navigate the steps and where to get help. The process was a nightmare. I’m so happy I called Joseph Bogdan (told me to call him Jay). The first thing he told me was to breathe, it was all going to be all right. He was great with explaining all of the steps and keeping me in the loop. He made sure I always knew what the next move was. His previous work at the department of the very people who were investigating my complaint was paramount for me. He knew the in’s and out’s and what we were up against. I am very pleased with his work and the outcome of the whole situation. Thank you Jay, you helped saved my career and helped me to regain my faith with those that regulate our licenses.
