New House Buyer experience in IL

Jim help us to understand the WHY and role of an attorney when buying a house in ILLINOIS.... we had completely different experiences in Ohio and Kentucky before ... as there you don’t need that level of interaction thru lawyers when buying a house .. So he was very proactive and detailed orien...ted which was very good when you are expending such amount of money (including very high taxes). We was open to do things virtually since day 0 during this unusual time ... I will recommend Jim next time someone ask me about a good Lawer no question...

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
