Failed to close a case

Use this attorney to have a child support/ visitation case modified and moved from Lasalle county to Will county. Attorney failed to have case properly closed in Lasalle, attorney was contacted and fixed their mistake but now want to charge me a large amount of money for a mistake they made!! Filing ...fees would be one thing but I shouldn’t be paying you hourly to fix your own mistake!!

DO NOT HIRE HER!

TERRIBLE ATTORNEY! DO NOT HIRE SUNNEY KOHLHOSS! This woman first of all is really disrespectful, shouts at her clients and does not call for weeks to give updates, my emails and calls got ignored for months. Even if there is no updates to a case, the respectful and professional thing to do is to info...rm your client when the question is asked instead of ignoring them. She also charged me like 3000$ after 15 days of paying her the same amount and I made her aware of her mistake and she couldn’t even apologize. If you want your family case to move fast and someone that actually cares about your case DO NOT HIRE HER. The only plan B she had was “I am friend of the GAL” but no real work done at all. Seriously a really disrespectful woman, she SHOUTED AT ME like a maniac because I got in touch with the other party’s attorney to get some updates and information about my case, But if I do not get a single call or emails from my OWN attorney in weeks, where could I get more information if it’s not from the other party? When I went to hire other attorney and fire her, a couple of them already knew about how unprofessional she was. Please do yourself a favor and hire another attorney that is more educated and actually wants to help you and not just take your money. If I could give her 0 stars I would, Google needs to add this feature for really bad cases like this.

Sunney Kohlhoss is a trusted legal advocate, who assist me through a contentious post-divorce decree. As a Father, Sunney brought a fresh perspective, and endless effort in assisted all parties achieve a productive solution. Sunney's professionalism, listening, thorough understanding of my family’s... needs produced real results, in a legal system that is not always aligned with families best needs in mind. I have and will continue to recommend Sunney personally and her organization.

Thank you Sunney

I came across Sunney through a friend's friend. His exact words were "You want the best, she is the best, plain and simple. She'll stop all that drama". Not only was this true, this turned out to be the best decision of my life. She was able to turn around the mess my 1st attorney made. I didn't know... what an experienced lawyer looked like till I saw how Sunney operates. She's by the book, understanding, her and her legal team are always on top of it, and she is direct and gets to the real issues. Sunney was able to restore my relationship with my daughter with 50/50 parenting time. This is what I was asking from the beginning and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you once again Sunney. I highly recommend her services, super friendly legal team that cares about what they do and also cares about their clients.

Professional, caring, attentive

I hired Sunney and her team to help me navigate my divorce, and so far she has been incredibly encouraging, smart, direct, and helpful. Initially I consulted with her, but quickly realized that I am able to freely discuss my concerns and receive feedback and advice to help make the best decision. I h...ired her and have been very happy with the guidance she's provided. I look forward to continue working with her and her team.
