*Excellent* lawyer and very easy to work with

Alec Dardis exceeded my most optimistic expectations. He was pleasant to work with - very responsive and an excellent communicator. He offered clear matter-of-fact advice and guidance, He negotiated very effective on my behalf and reached a settlement that was far lower that I had been expecting.... I very strongly Alec Dardis for anyone who needs representation for any copyright infringement or intellectual property matter.

An Excellent Attorney

While in the middle selling our house and buying another one out of state, I received notice that I was being sued by Strike 3 Holdings for copyright infringement. I had never been sued before and really didn’t know how to proceed. I hired attorney Alec Dardis of the Antonelli Law firm in Chicago wh...o specializes in copyright infringement to represent me. That turned out to be an excellent decision. Alec explained everything to me and patiently answered all of my questions. He asked me to produce numerous documents in order to negotiate a settlement. Every time I sent him a document I got a return email simply saying thank you, sometimes within a minute. He either answered his phone or called me back promptly. He communicated with me every step of the way. I felt like I was his most important client. Alec was able to negotiate a very favorable settlement on my behalf and exactly two weeks after I hired him I had a signed settlement agreement and notice of dismissal. It was done as a John Doe. There is no record of any of this under my name. I am able to move forward with my life. What a relief. Without a single reservation I highly recommend Alec Dardis of the Antonelli Law firm.

The consultation was free, but the representation was priceless.

Alec Dardis eased my concerns about my case involving Strike 3 Holdings LLC at our initial consultation, answering questions and making sure I understood my options. After deciding to retain him, the case was handled discretely, quickly and with a best-fit outcome for everyone involved.

Faster and Less Expensive

Dealing with a bit torrent lawsuit, Alec was able to bring immediate knowledge to the situation in the first consultation and lay out a roadmap on what to expect. He did not over promise, and in fact the process went faster and was less expensive than the original estimate -- though I am not guarante...eing that will happen for everyone.

Online Piracy Case

Alec knew all the details of this type of case and was instrumental in getting me a modest settlement and put this case behind me. He understood the process and explained everything to me well, and kept me informed as new information came in.
