Best Attorney in every aspect of case.

Christopher p. kelleher is an innovative, hardworking attorney who's drive and determination will be clear through his work product. Mr. Kelleher is an extremely positive, high-producing, client-focused personality. I have enjoyed him working at my complex case on several large issues over the la...st couple months. I have found he has an infectious optimism, which seems to increase the productivity of all those around him. I hope we will continue to have the opportunity to work together. I have witnessed his diligence and fortitude in challenging and varied situations. He has always shown great personal and professional integrity. I would definitely hire him again one day if I need to.

Best Attorney for your Appeal

Christopher's knowledge of the appeal process and the appellate court system is state of the art. He has a passion for this type of law like no other attorney in downtown Chicago. So much so, that he has been published in prominent law journals all over the Midwest. He takes time with clients and tre...ats them with respect and dignity, no matter what their case involves. His appeals have resulted in shorter jail sentences and successful judgments in civil rights and employment cases in which Plaintiffs have been wronged.

Highly Recommended, Very Knowledgeable and Responsive

I totally agreed with the below reviews. Chris is an exceptional attorney. 1. Very Practical: Before I hired him he spent the time with me – he sat down and laid out the situation for me, including possible risks and outcomes. He took the time to review the case and told me that I had a very good... chance to win the case based on similar cases he has fought. Although he made it clear to me that the appellate court, on average, only reverses 10% of all of cases. He was fair and did not pressure me to hire him. I am so glad I took that chance because my case was reversed last week and I was in the small percentage of winners! 2. Chris always kept me updated through e-mails, or phone messages. He was professional – prompt and easy to work with. 3. He captures all details in the brief with enormous accuracy – and made compelling arguments that the appellate court reversed every single one. 4. His price was reasonable compared to other attorneys. He set a price after he reviews the case and gave me a few days to think about it. Chris is absolutely 100% above the board and very professional! I would recommend Chris to any of my friends that would need legal help. I do not trust easily, since I worked before with more than dozen of attorneys that I was not happy with, but Chris definitely has my trust, he is straight forward and honest which is very rare these days – he is wonderful!!!!

Thank you again…. Very, very satisfied.

My case was so terribly handled within the court system that I had lost all hope. Mr. Keleher's team captured this absurdity within their written appeal, with amazing accuracy. They were able to see and articulate what no other party associated with my case acknowledged. Regardless of the outcome o...f my appeal, this law firm did its job well.

A smart lawyer with very imformed research and experience

I would recommend Mr. Keleher. Based on my past experiences in business and accounting law, as well as with general law questions, he always he multiple options and informed, experienced solutions that helped me make a more informed decision. Please feel free to ask him anything that pertains to hi...s specialty or general questions, Im sure his education and experience can provide a specific number of choices.
