Unethical practices

Stay away from this firm. They are very nice in the beginning however, they treat you poorly once you become a client. I was a client on a bankruptcy and I would ask questions while I was in this case to ensure I was missing anything. Every time I asked a question it became a battle with this attorn...ey. He is very rude and arrogant. He belittles his clients and basically make you feels worse about the situation you are in. Stay away there are several reputable and respectful bankruptcy attorneys in the Chicagoland area.

Very Responsive, always made time to answer my questions.

Very good attorney, really was available to answer my questions, and save me a lot of money. I like the way he always made sure answers he gave me were accurate, even when that meant saying let me look into that and call you back. Most attorneys just give BS answers.

Great Attorney for Complicated Matters

Adam Really knows what he is doing, super confident in his ability to get results. I went to him with a complex business Ch. 7, tons of little details, and he took it piece by piece, and solved the puzzle. Actually expected much less then he was able to accomplish. When he was done, he assisted me wi...th other legal matters I had in relation to negotiating non-dischargeable debts.
