This attorney completely relies on younger associates to do work, and remains out of touch with case. My case was in Cook County and he was almost NEVER available; he was always in Court in Lake or WIll County with someone else's case. You probably wIll spend a lot of money trying to even get him ...to do work. He relies on the client to manage his associates. He misplaces documents and emails and doesn't personally return phone calls ; relies on associate to do all work ongoing. Very frustrating===Horrible experience. His constant mantra is how hard he works for you. He will work hard to get your business then basically drops you as client, continues to charge double rate when he accomplishes little work and drags things out. He frequently doesn't show up to court--sends associate, even for trial, sends someone else not familiar with case. Not a strong attorney, neither a shark nor is he collaborative. Beware. Very weak with depositions. NO game plan or discussion of process. He tries to get you to hire his buddies for mortgage, for tax work etc. and they are not particularly competent. He doesn't seem to care about you-- the client. He talks down to you, does work harmful to your case without your input or agreement. Be careful. He is an experienced client but you will spend a great deal of time--trying to get him to stay on top of your case.
