This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend

In a broken system of the Family Courts where there are no winners nor is there much justice Jason Sposeep stands out as an extremely capable and knowledgable attorney. He is responsive, pragmatic, attentive and well -versed not only on the legal issues but also the emotional and psychological toll o...f divorce . I would highly recommend Jason to anyone who is looking to be represented not only by a highly professional attorney but also by a man of integrity and dedication to his profession.

Jason Sposeep is a Rock Star

I engaged Jason to assist in a collaborative divorce process after interviewing 10 other referred lawyers for the engagement. During my interview process, I asked each of the other lawyers who they would hire for a collaborative case (if I were to engage another lawyer) and Jason was repeatedly reco...mmended by the other lawyers, which was the primary reason I engaged him. From the outset Jason was thorough in explaining the process and my options, compassionate about the situation in general and proactive in proposing strategic options to bring the matter to conclusion with as little conflict as possible. Jason is a good listener and is particularly adept at winning the trust of all parties in a negotiation. In my instance, I think my former wife had more trust in Jason than her own lawyers. Jason also did a good job of maintaining cost efficiencies by directly handling what made sense for a senior lawyer to handle and also delegating to junior lawyers only when appropriate. Throughout my matter, Jason was absolutely excellent. I would recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

Well done!

I was referred to Jason by a good friend. He is very responsive, listens and has the right balance of guidance while letting you stay in control. Also, not only as well-versed on the legal/financial issues of divorce but the emotional toll it brings as well. Would definitely recommend him.

A Steady Hand

I hired Jason to represent me in a collaborative divorce process. He explained the process and helped me prepare for each session with the collaborative team. He provided excellent advice at every stage of the process. He was a steady hand during a difficult time. I am also an attorney and can at...test to the high quality of his legal analysis and work product.

Highly recommend

Having to go through a divorce during Covid is not ideal. I met Jason once in person and immediately knew he was the person that I wanted to represent me. The rest of my divorce was handled through zoom calls, telephone calls, and emails. Jason was always available to help me navigate this time. He w...as firm but kind. I knew he always had my back and was willing to work with my ex and his attorney to come to mutual agreements. Jason was the constant professional but also someone who really cared and listened to all my concerns. His advice was always on point. I couldn't imagine going through this process with anyone other than him in my corner.

While the Chicagoland area offers a number of options for divorce attorneys, Jason is one of the select few who has both the legal and emotional acumen to successfully navigate his clients through a divorce process. I've had the pleasure of working with Jason on multiple attorney-assisted mediation cases, and I never cease to be impressed.

"Jason is an exceptional divorce attorney and is great to work with. He's an experienced trial attorney with the ability to handle complex litigation, but also has the skill set and training to work collaboratively with opposing counsel to settle cases outside of court. I strongly recommend Jason as a divorce attorney because his clients can feel confident that they are well represented both in and out of the courtroom."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jason is above all a knowledgable professional skilled at handling all manner of complex issues in both consensual and contentious cases. Having worked as attorney for the other party in a number of Collaborative divorces with Jason on the other side, I have found he has always been not only a strong and capable advocate for his client, but one who recognized that better results can often come from listening and advising as opposed to threatening and grandstanding. In the cases we have worked together, both his client and mine have, in the end, appreciated the results of a difficult but respectful process."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jason and I have worked together on several collaborative law matters and prior to that as opponents in traditional litigation. Jason has not practiced law as many years as I have; however, I have considered him to be a peer since I first met him as his level of expertise is well beyond his years. I have known Jason to always show respect to all parties, to be timely and responsive and to work diligently as a team member in the collaborative setting. Having said that, I know Jason to be extremely skilled as a litigator and any potential client should know that Jason's ability to navigate the best outcome for his clients will serve their needs first and foremost. I give Jason my highest endorsement."
