Neal Charles Zazove

I have worked in Public Accounting and then as an Executive in the CFO and CEO capacities for over 20 years. During this period of time, the companies I was associated with have needed legal counsel for various matters over the years. Neal Zazove was recommended to me originally in 1999 by a former... college classmate of mine who also is an attorney. It was for a complex business interruption damages case the company was involved with. My company hired Neal's firm and they did an outstanding job working with six insurance companies and five law firms handling the intricate details of the case to a favorable conclusion. Several times since then over the years I have engaged Neal Zazove or his firm to represent my companies. There were times when I had lost touch with Neal for years until another complex legal business issue arose. There were two occasions I would work with the prescribed company law firm on retainer to no avail and then looked up Neal to come in and clean up the mess. Each time his legal skills were exemplary. Not only is he a great negotiator, but he is a great litigator as well, and able to practice in the Federal Courts as well as the State Courts of Illinois. More recently I have used Neal for much less complex HR issues as well. When some personal tragedy struck and I happened to mention a few details to Neal just as an aside, Neal gave me some invaluable advise and help I did not even ask for. I realized at that time what a truly great human being and friend this guy truly is. If you want an attorney who really will look out for your best interest and give you a fair and honest opinion of what your best course of action should be for your particular problem, this is the guy. I have worked with many attorneys over the years, and no offense to the legal profession in general, but there are very few attorneys I can strongly recommend. Neal Zazove is the attorney you want to have on your side as an adviser, protector, and advocate.
