Paul Albert Kolpak

This attorney handled the short sale of my home and it was truly a nightmare! I was referred to him by my realtor and knew shortly into the process that he was not familiar with short sales. Thankfully, I requested that all correspondence be in writing so I had proof of his lack of knowledge. Sinc...e it was a short sale, the lender offered money for relocation assistance. I met with him on the day before closing to sign all documents and he asked if I would like the check mailed to me or if I would prefer to pick it up. I asked him to mail it and he said it would be mailed out on Friday. Then the next week I got an email from his assistant, JoAnne, asking if I would like the check mailed. I advised her that I had already discussed this with Paul and he was supposed to mail the check on Friday. I received a very unprofessional email from her stating that there was no way the check would have even been ready on Friday. Way to throw your boss under the bus JoAnne! I then sent her an email back asking for the status of the check and stir have not received a response! He did, however, run straight to the bank to cash my check to him. Extremely unprofessional assistant who should never work in customer service!

Being a Realtor we work with all kinds of different people. Some are just starting out, some are on their third or fourth purchase. Over my 36 years years in the business I have used a handful of attorneys. Paul Kolpak is one of the best. He explains everything to the first time buyers. He also ...has helped me with zoning issues, and many other legal questions. He and his staff are able to get me answers when I have a tight deadline. I have recommended him to others in our Century 2l office. We are the number one office in Illinois and are held to a very high standard. That being said I feel he has always stepped up to the plate to help those who really need it. I will continue to use Paul and would recommend him to anyone I know.

I have been working with Paul Kolpak as my recommended real estate attorney for the last 20 years. Paul is knowledgeable in all aspects of real-estate law. He returns calls timely and is always available to be reached either at the office or his cell phone. The most important thing Paul does is he is... a great relationship builder. This skill is not only with the clients, it is with everybody related to the real estate transaction. He is on good terms with most of the attorneys in the area which helps resolve any and all problems that may come up. He is well liked and respected for people at the title companies and municipalities throughout the area. As a productive real estate agent I highly recommend Paul Kolpak to handle your real estate transactions.

Paul is a trustworthy and hard working attorney. He is thoroughly competent in all real estate matters including zoning laws, closings, etc. He has a great network of contacts and can always have an answer to any of my legal questions, even if not within his expertise, very quickly. He is my #1 atto...rney referral to all of my buyer / seller clients and I can not recommend him more highly.
