Excellent Recommendation for Amy Schellekens of Bennett Law Firm

Ms. Schellekens instilled confidence from the very beginning. At our first meeting she gave me a big picture look of the divorce process and then broke it down into smaller pieces for me. From the first filing to the prove-up, I felt like I had a partner in a very difficult process. Ms. Schell...ekens was not afraid to go to the mat if need be. Her primary concern was for me and my children and getting us to the best possible result. When I was hesitant, she reassured me. When I needed more information, she provided it without delay. She always had options and strategies for me for me to consider. I made decisions based on sound advice and practical thinking. A huge concern for me going into my divorce was the cost. Ms. Schellekens was a good steward of my limited finances. I even got money back at the end! I was a little fish to her firm, but never felt less important. I was treated with respect at all times. I would recommend Ms. Schellekens without hesitation. Hopefully, I will never need her services again, but if you do, you will have peace of mind.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Amy was the guardian ad litem on a case I had in DuPage County. Amy did an excellent job as the guardian ad litem. She was strong, zealous, well-prepared, intelligent, and cared strongly about the minor child involved in the case. I would strongly recommend her both as a family law practitioner or as a guardian ad litem."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
