Federal Court Case Review

Alec explained my options in detail and we agreed on a settlement approach. He negotiated the case quickly and with a satisfactory settlement amount. I highly recommend his services.

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.

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.

Fantastic Work!

Alec had valuable insight and communicated with us every step of the way. He was able to get a settlement amount that reasonable to allow us to move on quickly. Highly recommend others to work with him.
