ADVICE to those considering a Divorce Lawyer

My marriage ended abruptly after 27 years. I turned to a Chicago lawyer that was highly rated. Let me tell you, NOT all lawyers are created equal. Many tell you what you want to hear. They are so good at it, I felt the man I chose to represent me, being higher priced then the average, assured my adva...ntage. I WAS WRONG! Take my advice please, and save yourself from having to shop twice, and paying out double retainers. Finding the right divorce lawyer is CRITICAL to maintaining your parental rights, and your finances. THE MASTERS LAW FIRM was heaven sent. Erin and Anthony are first rate lawyers who fight to the end. They are true professionals, trustworthy and compassionate about their work. You will not feel "pushed aside" after you submitt your retainer. They will answer all your questions, and develope a strategy that allows you to retain your dignity when accusations start to fly. Do not settle for 2nd best. I highly recommend this law firm. You will come to realize their true value in the courtroom. They are in your corner, and you could not be in better hands. Thank you Erin & Anthony! My very best wishes for a Happy Holliday! Regards, Mark C.

Recommendation

I recommend Erin Master. She is someone who is truly on your side. I had a complicated case but she was able to have it completed from start to finish less than 10 months. Erin follows up on all emails or phone calls in a timely matter. Her invoices are clear and nothing is hidden. She was always w...illing to answer any of my questions or explain "lawyer language" to me. I highly recommend Erin Masters.

Petition under Hague Convention

I had a very difficult case in the United States Federal Court. My ex husband filed a Petition against me under the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child abduction asking to return our two sons to Lithuania. Seeking for the legal representation, I was advised by the U.S. Department... of State to contact lawyer Erin E. Masters. I was so lucky to have the team of the best lawyers Erin E. Masters and Anthony G. Joseph representing me in this difficult trial. They represented with the highest standards of law, but also provided support and empathy through the process. The communication was fantastic, always answered every question, explained every situation and possible outcome. As it was a very fast track case, Erin and Anthony worked hard including weekends to prepare everything for the hearing. There was only one hearing and the Decision was totally in my favor. All my family, especially the kids, are very grateful! It is also fair to mention that the legal expenses for the amount of services provided was very very reasonable. Taking in mind my difficult financial situation, Erin even agreed to provide the service for the reduced fee. I will gladly recommend Erin Masters and Anthony Joseph to represent any of my friends and family in need of an excellent and highly professional family attorney.

excellent attorney

I recommend Erin as an excellent attorney in family law. Erin is helpful and attentive explaining the family law situation as it applies to your case. She was very quick to respond to my inquiries for legal information.

Fantastic attorney!

I was introduced to Erin by another attorney.  I was immediately impressed with her professionalism and approachability.  I hired her to assist me with a pre-marital agreement roughly 4 months before my wedding.  Erin was very knowledgeable about the existing Illinois statue and I felt very comfortab...le having her represent me.  Erin and I communicated via email, text and phone calls at all hours due to my hectic travel schedule. She maintained the highest level of availability to answer my questions; both from a legal point of view, as well as identifying what was realistic and practical.  She did all of this while she was 8 months pregnant preparing for her first child!  Erin will go above and beyond to make sure the job gets done well and with precision.  I will gladly recommend Erin and her law firm to represent any of my friends and family in need of an excellent and highly responsive family attorney.  I look forward to following her career and watching her succeed.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had the pleasure of recently working with Erin as opposing counsel in a very contested matter. Through it all, Erin demonstrated both her ability to not only litigate ferociously when needed but also her ability to negotiate, compromise, and find common ground between two parties that were set on trial. In the end, we were able to reach settlement, thanks in large part to her outstanding work. Her reputation certainly was not overstated."
