Vincent J. Stark

I hired Vince to take over my divorce after being involved with another lawyer for well over a year... I was being advise to move out of my house and walk away from everything I worked my whole life for... Vince took the rains of my case and never looked back... Within three months of taking my case ...over I had a custody agreement and was preparing to go to trial to get my case done... I was never felt left alone again since I hired him my questions were answer promptly and I was well prepared for all that was in front of me... In court Vince was like a puppeteer pulling the strings dancing all around my ex wife's attorney... He was well organized and prepared for trial I was very impressed and satisfied... Vince has a great knowledge of the law and you will be in good hands!!! I am now back in my home with my children rebuilding my life...

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.
