Great results

Don Kindwald handled another case for me. It turned out to be a very difficult eviction case with a professional tenant. It started out as a simple eviction case except when the tenant got a lawyer and tried to make my life miserable. Don got the case settled and got the tenant out.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Reprimand issued in IL, 2015

updated on 12/12/2017

Reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Donald’s comment:

“Truly an unfortunate event which made me a much better attorney. Some years later, I still remember well what can happen from getting involved with certain people and I am a far better person because of it”
