Evan James Mammas

Warning…do not retain Caidi Vanderporten or her father, Evan Mammas. During your consultation they will present as kind, caring, and ready to fight hard at trial. However, they will do everything to avoid trial. I paid Caidi bout $200 for her free consultation as token of my gratitude, appreciation, ...and respect for her time. However, after retaining her and her father, and paying them thousands to argue at trial, Caidi did the unimaginable within ~3 weeks. FIRSTLY, against my repeated objection, Caidi converted the trial from in-person to Zoom. SECONDLY, at the beginning of the hearing, she requested a PRIVATE breakout room for her to talk with the judge, opposing counsel, and child representative (all women). The trial NEVER occurred because she lied to the judge that I wanted to cancel the hearing in exchange for an agreement to see my infant son (and only child) TWICE PER MONTH for 45 minutes each “visit.” I brought the matter to her father’s attention, and he explained that he saw nothing wrong. I even had the transcripts of our conversation for evidence. THIRDLY, she filed an Order of Protection against me in an attempt to prevent me from publicly exposing her. LASTLY, she had the nerve to bill me an additional ~$5,000 after I complained about what she had done to me and my infant son. I hired them to argue, at the IN-PERSON EVIDENTIARY TRIAL, for me and my son’s entitled rights to a sufficient amount of WEEKLY parenting time. They took advantage of me while I was a desperate father and full-time graduate student that could not even make ends meet. I’ve had to use $7000 of my student loans to hire a new attorney to undo the mess they created. I’m heartbroken and hope no one else becomes a victim of her firm.

After losing my entire life savings on greedy lawyers, I found Evan Mammas. Mr. Mammas is superior to Schiller Ducanto & Fleck, and the rest. Mr. Mammas knows what he's doing. HE IS A GOD SEND. Trust me been there done that with lawyers. Mammas was the ONLY atty who was able to handle my ex h...usband criminal court atty. No one could handle my ex except Mr. Mammas. Do not waste your time shopping for attorneys. MAMMAS IS the best in the Chicago area. I lost everything with other lawyers. Mammas was able to get results without spending another 8 months in post decree. He knows what he is doing. I would never use anyone else again. He is skilled, experienced, articulate, strong, intelligent. He would be able to handle a divorce matter blind folded.

Mr. Mammas is a family law atty. that I would recommend. Here is why: 1. Prepares, does his homework. 2. Cool, calm, collected in the face of the opponents contention and judge questioning. 3. Skilled and knowledgeable 4. Highly intelligent. The small off items to be prepared for: 1- Not... easy to reach (but what lawyer is)?

I am a practicing attorney in Illinois and I have chosen Evan Mammas of Mammas and Goldberg to represent me. I have had the experience and pleasure of having Evan represent me in a complicated and complex family matter. He has been there for me. he is a wonderful lawyer deeply devoted to his clients ...and their well-being. I find him to be an excellent lawyer and would recommend him any day anytime.
