John Patrick Lonergan

My 6-week old daughter was taken from me when my ex-husband made a false abuse allegation during our separation that elicited an Order of Protection, criminal charges, and a DCFS investigation. I was distraught, terrified, and desperate for help. I immediately went and retained the first attorney I c...ame across, and spent over $14,000 with no results before I finally met John Lonergan. I knew instantly that I needed John to represent me. Unlike my former attorney, John recognized the urgency of my case, and expressed sincere concern and understanding as to the devastation this was causing to my daughter, my family, and myself. Securing the help of John Lonergan was the best decision I ever made. He worked tirelessly to defend me throughout my divorce, DCFS case, and criminal proceedings, while keeping me well-informed every step of the way through phone calls, texts, emails, and face-to-face meetings. The compensation agreement for his services was more than reasonable, and he graciously commuted numerous miles to appear with me in court, which was located a full hour away from his office. Because of John, I was completely absolved of all charges and the DCFS allegation was entirely exonerated. He helped me secure primary care of my daughter and finalized the divorce quickly and efficiently. He saved my family, my career, and my future. There are no words to describe how deeply grateful I am for the kindness, compassion, and respect he showed to me throughout it all, and I truly appreciate the unparalleled effort and commitment he provided to me as my attorney.

John represented me in a case against DCFS and a biological grandmother. My two grandchildren have been in my care since they was 3months and 3yrs old. They are now 5yrs and 8yrs old. Due to a paternity test found out my granddaughter that I have loved and nurtured for 5yrs isn't biological mine. P...owers that be wanted to take her and place her with paternal grandmother. John saved our family! He wasn't allowing a brother and sister be split taken from the only home and security they had ever known. He won our case and our family won.! My grandchildren and I highly recommend Mr.Lonergan he will fight for you.
