John Patrick Lonergan

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible legal services provided by my attorney during the seemingly never-ending ordeal of my divorce proceedings. I was trapped in a relentless battle with a narcissistic ex who refused to cooperate or negotiate on any terms. From the very first consul...tation, John demonstrated an unparalleled level of attentiveness, empathy, and professionalism. His genuine concern for my well-being and understanding of the complexities involved in my case immediately put me at ease. I finally felt like I had a competent and compassionate advocate fighting by my side. What truly sets John apart is his remarkable ability to navigate the intricacies of my divorce. Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles presented by my ex, he fearlessly forged ahead, leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of justice. His tenacity, strategic thinking, and thorough preparation were simply awe-inspiring. Finally, after ten long years, my divorce is final. John’s expertise and mastery of the law, combined with an unwavering commitment to my case, ultimately led to a favorable outcome. I cannot adequately express the relief and joy I experienced when the divorce was officially concluded, thanks to his unwavering efforts. To anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation, I wholeheartedly recommend John Lonergan. He possess an extraordinary ability to tackle the toughest of cases and an unwavering dedication to his clients' best interests. His outstanding legal skills, coupled with genuine compassion, make him an absolute gem in the legal field. Thank you, John, from the bottom of my heart!

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 was level-headed and professional which is exactly what I needed as a mom with a child in trouble. He explained paperwork and procedures clearly, I never felt rushed. In my opinion, he went above and beyond what I had expected, as this was my first experience hiring a lawyer. I cannot say enough... about the excellent quality of work and character John offers. We are forever grateful.

After being arrested at the Summer Camp music festival in Chilicothe Illinois, I reached out to several different lawyers looking for council. It was apparent immediately that John was more concerned and invested in my case than any other lawyer I spoke with. My situation did not leave myself with a ...lot of options, but John fought the entire time for what he thought was the best outcome for my future. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and after going back and forth with the defense attorney for several months we were able to negotiate an unexpectedly positive outcome. Since I do not reside in Illinois my situation was very complicated, but John was able to help me find an outcome where I was able to continue living at home, working, and I did not have to do any jail time despite being arrested on a felony charge. I cannot thank him enough for his determination and I would recommend him to anyone who is in a similar situation, especially regarding the Summer Camp music festival. He was experienced, knowledgeable, realistic, and friendly. Many thanks John!
