Misleading , doesn’t tell the truth , no communication at all , not prepared in court . Negligence , And excessive billing for doing nothing , I fired her , 7000$ n she wants 3000 more . I always had a witness during my phone in office visits except first consultation . Always excuses n long waits t...o see or talk to her , I had an appointment only she never showed in office , sat there 20 minutes called off my day with my client meaning I lost money . Her secretary came out to my witness n I said o she s having personal issues . What no one could call. To tell me n why did I sit for 20 minutes .also when finally got into office meeting with my witness asking a question about my case she’d say o we already went over that avoiding everything we asked . Instead of answering cause she had no idea . We both realized she had her phone on the desk and turned towards myself n my witness leading us to believe she was taping or had someone listening which again with out a consent or knowledge she in Illinois law cannot do this without the consent of all parties in the room . Than she lied to us about my taxes looked at a paper said put on extension , I phoned as soon as we walked out . The accountant said absolutely not , they were sent in no extension . This was the worst decision hiring her wasted money time , and there’s so much more I haven’t put into this review. Im saving for my formal complaint

I was waiting to post a review until my divorce was finalized, as I have had bad experiences with lawyers before. Couldn't be happier with her services! I was very worried going into my divorce, but Laura was straight forward, and didn't promise on anything she wouldn't be able to deliver. Her and h...er team guided me through the process clearly and efficiently. I would recommend her to anyone!

This office loves to bill and accomplish nothing. Had to fill out paperwork multiple times due to the office misplacing it or just never sending it to opposing counsel. Had to call and ask for updates due to having had court appearances and no notification or updates only to never actually get any i...nformation. I learned of updated court dates by going to the county website. Rarely return calls or emails unless being critical of how things are beinf handled. I actually had more cases updates through opposing client than I did this office. All the while getting billed $350 a shot to review the case file when nothing had changed in almost a year and multiple court dates. If Laura responds to this review it will be the first time I've spoken to her in a year. Any other business that runs like this one would be out of business in a year. Just so happenes this one takes your money upfront and then gouges you until you say enough is enough.

I have had to use a few lawyers over the years, and I can tell you that Laura Baluch is hands down the best divorce/family law lawyer I have ever used. Her compassion for her clients is like no other, and she will work to get everything you need till the very end, no matter how long it takes. I am s...o grateful for everything she’s done for myself and my family. If you’re looking for a lawyer who won’t back down, who listens to your needs and wants, then I highly suggest using Laura Baluch.
