The best attorney in Chicago

This is not enough room. This man is THE best. Always available for me. The courts are scary and confusing! Yet he always explained

Terrible Lawyer

I retained Jeffery Mandell as my attorney for my case he was available to collect the 1500.00 retainer fee he promised me he would follow up with me about my case and he would be a good lawyer for me. The first court date he hired another lawyer from downstairs in the daley center to show up for my ...first date and this guy didn't even know anything about my case he never called me to let me know someone else would show up I called him he had a nasty attitude as if I was bothering him and angrily said ill call you back and ill be there and he said I didn't need to show up because I hired him for that thank god I showed up he never showed up or called me so when I called him he had yet another attitude and I told him if I had not have showed up my case would have been dismissed after I spent seven hundred to file the case and 1500.00 to him I would have had to start all over so I ended up having to handle my own case because I knew he was handling my case and I would lose my case this lawyer is a scam he will take your money and do nothing for you please find a lawyer that will actually help you he never showed up and has a nasty attitude to make you leave him alone I lost 1500.00 with this lawyer

Highly Endorsed This Criminal Defense Attorney

I highly endorse Attorney Jeffry Mandell. As a recent client, I retained this criminal defense attorney for my son's case and was very impressed by his professinalism, knowledge of the law, and his expertise in criminal justice. What I liked about Attorney Mandell were his commitment and investigat...ion strategies that he used to thoroughly work through this case. Further, he demonstrated concern, understanding, and maintained close contact with the family throughout the criminal process. We have established a trusting and respectful relationship with this attorney and would not hesitate to recommend him to other clients. In closing, I would like to express my appreciation for him assessing reasonable attorney fees in this downturned economy. I also think that his legal services are worth much more compensation. Thanks a million!!!

The BEST

Mr. Mandell is an extremely skilled lawyer with experience and expertise. I hired him for a case, which was huge to me, but small in terms of most cases seen in court. He handled my case thoroughly and informed me of events as it progressed through the system. Mr. Mandell treated my case as though it... was the most important he had. He is a kind, knowlegable attorney in whom I have complete trust and respect. He does what he says and knows what to do. As far as fees, I think he should charge more than he does. He's very reasonable.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. His efforts in behalf of this clients are almost always successful. One doesn't successfully stay in one area of law for so many years without being good at it. In my opinion he's is the best. Also, if I ever have a real estate question, he knows the answer. He's the kind of lawyer that we need more of."
