Stressless Closing - Highly Recommended

John Lara made the sale of my house a stressless process. He took care of everything and it was almost as if I did nothing. I highly recommend John Lara. Thank you for your assistance.

Always helpful

John Lara was always helpful and did a great job handling my sale closing and new condo closing. He is very good explaining everything and answering my questions.

John F. Lara is very professional

John Lara helped me to resolve an issue that I had at the Cook County Assessor’s office regarding my property tax exemption. John was helpful in explaining and simplification of the entire process. He even helped to aquire my exemptions three years retroactive. John was extremely knowlegeable, res...ponsive and proactive regarding the situation. Most of all, he helped me to achieve my desired outcome and actually exceeded my expectations. Thank you John!

Excellent Lawyer

I was referred to Vince Mancini from another lawyer regarding a complicated legal issue with the Illinois Attorney General. I want to say I worked with John Lara on a daily basis. He was always out numbered three attorneys to one but fearlessly out performed them. John is aggressive when he’s needs ...to be and extremely competent as a lawyer. John always returned calls promptly and was good at reassuring me when I was feeling defeated. Special thanks to Mark Scarlato for his help during my deposition. Highly recommend.
