Excellent lawyer

Austin was very kind, efficient and easy to work with when my parents needed help to modify their will and trust. Having moved from out of state he quickly determined what documents were necessary and worked with us in a timely manner to make the amendments.

Exceptional Work

I certainly recommend Attorney Mr. Vandeveer highly – I engaged Mr. Vandeveer to do some legal work for our family, and we needed a quick turnaround. He was able to prepare the legal docs and get them to us for review less than 24 hours later. Mr. Vandeveer was responsive and attentive to a very sens...itive and timely situation. He explained the pros/cons and explained everything in detail. We are very pleased with the process and results. Mr. Vandeveer is extremely professional – anticipating issues and reacting quickly. He makes certain things are thought out, risks evaluated, and options in place. Mr. Vandeveer explains the process fully so that you understand it. While some attorneys opt to charge top of scale, Ms. Vandeveer is very fair with billings, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything works our in your favor. Thank you, Mr. Vandeveer, for all your help, and getting the job done quickly and correctly.

Estate Matters

After the passing of my late husband, I hired Austin Vandeveer as my attorney to help guide me through the important process of finalizing Estate matters. My husband and I had not prepared a will or trust prior to my late husband’s passing. I was unaware how complex the process was. Mr. Vandevee...r was there to educate and guide me through the process and always answered my questions thoroughly. He made what was an intimidating situation, less intimidating and more doable during a difficult time in life. I would encourage anyone that needs a qualified and approachable attorney to consider hiring Austin Vandeveer to help them through the complexities of their legal matters.

Great divorce lawyer

My divorce was drawn out over several years due to COVID and the ex dragging things out, but Austin stayed on top of things and got a very good read for the kind of person my ex is as well as predicting the kinds of things the ex would do in court. Austin helped us achieve the best possible outcome f...or our family, with custody in my favor, and always kept the focus on what's best for my child.

Understanding, Thoughtful & Detail Oriented

I worked with Austin and one his partners at the Jeffery Leving Law Firm in Chicago. Austin and his colleagues were extremely understanding of my situation and equally as importantly, the IL Family Law. This gave me a lot of confidence at a time when I really needed it -- to be able to negotiate fr...om a position of understanding, rather than fear. Austin is a responsive, understanding and detail oriented and I highly recommend him.
