Highly recommended Attorney went above and beyond!

I hired John to handle the eviction of my tenants, and the experience was absolutely phenomenal. John guided me through the process with professionalism, efficiency, and clear communication every step of the way. What was a stressful and complicated situation was handled quickly and effectively, givi...ng me complete peace of mind. John’s expertise and dedication made all the difference, and I highly recommend him to any landlord or property owner in need of reliable legal support. I cannot say enough or thank him enough. John should be recognized as an award winning attorney for Will County and surrounding counties. I now see why he was highly recommended.

So So Grateful For This Man!!!!!!

I hired a contractor to complete a large amount of work on my fixer-upper house I had purchased, which was also my first home purchase. The contractor I hired not only butchered the work he was performing, but he was further damaging my home, and did not even pass any inspections with my county! We h...ad a contract signed for around $43,000. I called him over to discuss my concerns with his work, and he walked out on me! I ultimately terminated him due to his unprofessionalism and poor work. He filed a lien on my home so no other contractor or myself could touch it to continue the work on my home, and I couldn’t sell it considering! I contacted John, and John was cool, calm and collected the entire time since day 1, assuring me he know EXACTLY what to do! HE SURE DID! This was my first time ever needing to hire a lawyer, and he did not disappoint! He was very quick and got right to the nitty gritty of what needed to be done! He got my first lien removed, the contractor filed another, so he got that one removed as well and got the county to sign a judicial order prohibiting the contractor from filing any further liens with the recorders office! I was able to sell the house within the next week and have finally closed on my potential forever home! All thanks to John! If it wasn’t for John, I would still be dealing with a disaster and paying on a home I couldn’t even live in! If you EVER have any issues with a contractor doing the same things to you, trust John! I promise you won’t regret it! He will get the job done!
