Awful.

This man could be the worst attorney in chicagoland. If you are doing anything more than settling credit card debt you will deeply regret your decision to employ him as an attorney. He will charge you at every breath, for every copy even a stamp. He is absolutely never prepared. He will ignore your i...nput, make reckless decisions on your behalf and could care less how poorly he is performing and how damaging the outcome WILL be. It is fair to say that hiring him is almost a guarantee to lose your case. When dealing with your family find a different lawyer- he only wants your money.

Fake review.

Posted by Michelle | July 11, 2019 | Divorce & Separation

BEST advocate you could ask for!

Mr. Pecherek recently represented me in my divorce matter. From the very beginning he was straightforward, honest, and diligent. He aggressively fought for my rights and was sure to not only explain the legal process to me but also to explain the way Judge's decisions influence the outcome. He never ...stopped fighting for me and was always happy to see me and answer my questions. Also his staff is very knowledgeable and are just as hard working. My ex now hates him more than he hates me since I walked away with more than I asked for and paid so much less! I am proud to call Mr. Pecherek my attorney and will suggest him to all my friends and family for their matters.

Thank you!

Posted by anonymous | July 11, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

He won't work for you.

I had him as my divorce lawyer. I file case against my wife and she had no lawyer at the time. He approached her and told her to get a lawyer. After she hired a lawyer that both of the two guys they were working and talking behind our backs. We had a easy case but he dragged the divorce for months. I...f you have divorce try to settle this outside of the court I will cost you money.

Divorce is never pleasant and generally takes longer than you'd expect. Attorneys can be polite to each other and still represent their respective clients zealously.

HORRIBLE!!!!!

Very Bad Experience! I wouldn't recommend to anyone! They will charge you for EVERYTHING but treat you like NOTHING!!! I opened divorce case and within one month I was charged closed to $6,000.00!!!!!!Every visit in a court cost around $700 when the lawyer is doing cases for other clients so when th...e judge is calling your name he is not even there! Scanning documents cost around$400.00, opening emails around $50.00, each call $110.00.

Attorney Client Privilege prevents me from providing any details in response to your review. I am extremely proud of my firm’s performance and results. I wish you happiness and success in the future.

horrible attorney!

This is the worst attorney in the whole world! Never ever take this guy to represent you. He will only take your money without helping you a bit. He didn't even want to listen to what I have to say! He cannot even do simple math. He screwed everything up for me. Now I have another court date. Waste ...of money and more problems! Please do not take this guy. He is a nightmare.
