I have known Ken for nearly 30 years and recently had the opportunity to use him as my lawyer in a real estate matter. Her was thorough, efficient, and explained the process clearly. He is well versed in the details of Chicago real estate and I am thankful for his help.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
