Professional, honest, and caring

As I was once told "your divorce is like watching "Law and Order" live". I had a very hard high-conflict case, that involved abuse, protection order, and a bitter custody dispute. I could not wish for a better attorney team to handle this case. Josh and Shay are professional and fair. They do not giv...e you promises but explain openly what to expect in the court. Their courtroom tactics are impeccable. Besides professionalism, they care for you. I felt their emotional support throughout that tough journey. Thanks to them, me and my kid can now live a happy and safe life. I wholeheartedly recommend Josh and his team to any woman who is going through a hard divorce. You will be in great hands.

Creative; Experienced and Caring

Another law firm was representing me, but I am glad that I switched to Josh's firm. Josh represented me in a divorce case on two continents. He is smart, engaging, creative, smooth and persuasive in court. His bills were very reasonable when compared with my spouse's. I would recommend Josh and his ...firm with no hesitation.

Difficult Relocation with a win!

I had a difficult case in that I wanted to remove my son from Illinois (specifically- Cook County). His father visits often with him, paid child support, etc. Though my teenage son has an involved father, I could offer a better quality of life in MO where I would be able to reside with my husband. Th...e case seemed pretty simple but I knew that I had a 50/50 chance as Cook County does not like to allow removal of a child- specifically when the father is involved. I researched several attorneys but ultimately felt the Josh Haid was the best choice if I was going to have any chance at all. I met Josh in his office and we spoke about what my odds were. Josh helped me through court. Though I can not say enough great things about Josh, Suzette (another attorney on the case) was really my rock. She called me when I needed her to, responded to my worried emails and helped me think through my next course of action. My case was not typical in that we were thrown a couple surprises by the judge but that is why I wanted to best attorney that I could possibly have. The case lasted around 5 months but I can finally say the judge granted my relocation request today. I can finally give my son the white picket fence, great school system and community that I have always dreamed of for him. Thank you Josh and Suzette. You have forever changed our lives!

No One Better for a Difficult Divorce

Joshua Haid and everyone at the firm have been amazing both during and after my divorce. Josh was very upfront and honest from the first time I met him. He didn't make guarantees or sweeping promises. But every step of the way he has been there fighting for me, and my divorce was a rough one. In fact..., he once called me on a weekend during a particularly hairy time in the divorce process, which I still believe was above and beyond his duty. Josh is personable and able to explain legal jargon in simple terms without being condescending. He listens to each issue and responds efficiently or assigns the task to his assistant. My divorce ended with terms that were more than satisfactory (nobody really wins when a marriage ends), and I still call Josh whenever the ex starts causing trouble. I recommend him to any woman who is dealing with divorce, but especially to those of you expecting a difficult divorce.

This lawyer failed to represent me. I felt like I was inconvencing him with my case. I was completely ignored unless my ex’s attorney wanted to change something or change the agreement for my ex.. I would not re-hire him.
