Honest and simply the best at what he does!
Steve is the best! he has represented my husband and i when we got into some landlord tenant issue. He has also worked with my sisters and my mother on a number of legal issues throughout the course of several years, and has always fought for us, Steve has always been honest, reliable, great communicator. He is very professional and gets back to you very quickly. Steve has become my families go-to guy when any legal issue arise. I highly recommend his services!

Great Attorney!
It was my first experience with any attorney and I can definitely recommend Steve McCann. He helped me with the case where the other lawyers didn’t give me any hope. Steve was very professional, understanding and followed through until the case was resolved. I will definitely use and recommend him when needed.

Heatless Apartment
Steve represented me when my apartment complex in Chicago failed in providing me heat. He was extremely knowledgable on relevant laws and statutes that were applicable to my case. He is very professional and honest. I am honored to have retained him!

Tenacious
When an immigrant friend's new van was involved in a crash, and his insurance claim was denied for what seemed to me to be unfair and wrong reasons, we contacted Steve McCann. The case was complicated and daunting, involving a three-way finger point among an insurance agent and the two separate insuring firms my friend's account had been funneled to. Steve dug in, and after a year's back and forth, he was able to get the liability issue completely resolved, and he recovered the cash value of the van from companies that were hoping to walk away from their shoddy practices. Steve McCann righted the wrong, and we are grateful.

Great Honest Lawyer
My husband and I experienced a devastating loss several years ago, and did not know where to turn. We found ourselves scourged by unscrupulous people, scavengers whose only interest was to make money. We unknowingly hired people who deceived us into thinking that they could solve all of our problems. We eventually realized that these lawyers had deceived us with false promises. We looked on Avvo, and contacted Steve McCann and Drew. After spending countless hours talking to them and sending them all the correspondence we had relating to our case, we felt complete confidence in choosing them to represent us. They have always been available and supportive, and we feel confident that the smartest thing we did was to hire Ball and McCann. Our case is coming to a close, and Steve and Drew have worked diligently to assure us that we will be very well compensated monetarily. More importantly, it gives us great comfort to know that Steve McCann and Drew are there for us. We value their trustworthiness and consider them to be our friends. Sincerely, Joe and Wendy

First I want to start off by saying that Steve McCann is a great lawyer! My family and I were in a situation and Steve helped us and assured us that he will help us with this matter and let me tell you he actually takes situations like my family and I went through seriously. He's professional and very firm on what he says and stands on it 100% long story short he got us an outcome we were looking for due to the situation we were all going through and lost alot of household items if I ever were in the situation again he's the only attorney I would go to! Thank you Steve McCann for everything you have done for me and my family justice was served

Amazing Service!
He took the time out of his schedule to speak with me about my situation and he offered his services to me and he was not rude or pressuring at all! He explained each scenario multiple times in detail and asked me what I want and what approach we needed and he was available around the clock he responded in depth even after hours and I really felt comfortable hiring him for my case and he gave me advice on any other situations I need regardless of the situation and I really would recommend him to anyone who needs a great lawyer!

Profesional, very prompt and caring
This was our first experience with a lawyer and we will definitely be hiring Steve for any personal injury needs. Steve was always keeping us updated on our case and was very caring. He always responded very promptly to our email and was able to settle our case. It was quite lengthy, but that was due to ththe horrible insurance company the other person who hit us had. we appreciate his help to speed up the process because we would have not have gotten anywhere on our own. My sister got money to pay off her car and put a down payment on a new one. It worked out very well. Highly recommend Steven

Second opinion
Called Steve to get a second opinion regarding my current HOA lawsuit. Steve provided a lengthy and detailed cansoltation without even charging me. At this point I reaffirmed that my lawyer is on the right track and on top of his game. Most important when I spoke with Steve, he never tried to rush the conversation and gave full detailed explanations regarding my situation.

Seamless Experience!!
Steve was consulted and hired to represent our family on several personal injury issues. The first issue, a different lawyer tried to get us to settle and it just didn't feel right. When I posted my issue here, Steve quickly gave us his professional opinion (both the good and bad) and we decided to have him take a second look. We were well pleased with the end results. It wasn't long that another issue arised and we knew just who to contact. Steve gave us immediate consultation and his communication thereafter was very consistent, thorough and honest. He was very upfront about timing, communication with insurance companies and adjusters. Once again I felt he did a wonderful job at representing us. I will definitely recommend Steve and his law firm to friends and associates as well as use him for real estate or insurance when needed.

Real estate
During our initial consultation he seemed professional, a good listener, and knowledgeable about the Landlord /tenant issue I had. He gave an honest overview of how my matter could proceed and possible outcomes. His goal was to settle and negotiate a resolution without having to go to court. I hired him and he satisfactorily resolved my matter in less than a month, including recieving an agreed settlement amount, without going to court. Prompt communication and follow-through, I would definitely recommend Steve to others.
