Forcible entry case (Condo Association Delinquency)

Board of Directors of a Condominium Association in Lakeview needed attorney referral for a forcible entry case. Mr. Hamann was incredibly professional, helpful, and responsive. He responded to the board's inquiries immediately as time was of the essence, which enabled the association to make a qu...ick decision. He gave introductory new-client rates that were more than reasonable compared to what other attorneys are charging for the same service. He laid everything out beforehand and answered any and all questions quickly and thoroughly. I would highly recommend Goodwin, Hamann & Associates for all your Illinois Condo-related legal needs (tax appeals, forcible entry/debt collection etc). They are professional and efficient. They aggressively represent all their clients, and have a proven track record to back it up.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
