Does not communicate with clients and did little for me.

I worked with Cathy through reidy law office. Originally I wanted the owner, but they assigned her to my case and I went along in good faith. The initial conversation we had was good, but it was very quickly apparent that she was being out performed by the opposition. I was required to submit ever...y piece of information about my financials and received very little in return from the other side. Cathy would set up meetings with me and then never show. No response or acknowledgement to the missed meeting was ever given till I reached out to the owner. Less than a year later she is no longer with the firm. I have to wonder why. Because of the pandemic we had all court meetings over zoom. While my judge had a very positive view of my lawyer, what I saw was very different. Here mind set was give them everything they want. She never considered my situation and I ended up dismissing her because I couldn't get information or updates and when in court she misrepresented me to the judge. Had I known what the game plan was or had a say things may have been different, but she didn't show me the respect I deserved as her client to know what it was. Sure we discussed it, but what I saw and heard, when I did hear anything was not what was discussed. In the end I would say that when the stakes are this high she is not the person you want in your corner. Maybe she used to be better, but the person I got had lost all passion for the job and integrity to their clients. Maybe she is better at fighting for women, but as a man I would say do not trust her. After dismissing her I agreed to an unfair deal with my daughter's mother because I was out of money and time. Cathy really screwed me over.

Great lawyer ( paternity fraud)

My experience with the law offices of Jeffery M. Leving was everything I expected. I had a really difficult situation. I had a girlfriend in high school and she was pregnant during our last year of high school. I was with her everyday. She knew my family and I knew hers. She told me she was pregnant ...with my baby, told me that I was the father. I believed her. I was at the hospital when the baby was born and I ended up signing all of the paperwork that was presented to me acknowledgement of paternity, birth certificate everything. Only to find out five years later that the little girl that I considered my daughter wasn't mine. After buying a paternity testing kit from Walgreens. I called and set up an appointment with Mrs. Catherine Delgadillo. When I went in for the consultation everything was very professional and after hearing my situation Mrs. Catherine Delgadillo decided to take on my case. Her persona in court was everything. She took my case very seriously and fought for me. Even at times when I was losing hope she still maintained her composure and confidence. I can honestly say that she maintained her persona and composure through out the whole time I had her as my lawyer. In the end Mrs. Catherine Delgadillo was able to get me removed from all the paperwork that I signed and taken off child support. She was able accomplish everything I asked for. She really help me towards a better future for my self. Thank you to Mrs Catherine Delgadillo and the law offices of Jeffery M. Leving for helping me win my case against paternity fraud. I fully recommend Mrs. Catherine Delgadillo and the law offices of Jeffery M. Leving. They perform miracles over there.

Outstanding Work Performance

Catherine Delgadillo and the team at Jeffery Leving’s office did an amazing job helping me protect my children. First they got me a court order so that I had sole possession of the children without any parenting time for the mother. When the mother tried to get the police to take the children from sc...hool, the Jeffery Leving team stopped her by talking to the police. The next day they went to court and got me an order of protection so that the mother couldn’t do this again. I could not have done this without my attorneys.

In the end, we successfully brought our client's son back home. Thanks for all you do, Cathy!"

"I endorse this lawyer. Catherine Delgadillo recently won a great victory in a difficult case. After 4 days of testimony and an indicated DCFS finding against our firm's client, Catherine convinced a Judge in Will County to remove all supervised visitation and allow our client normal, healthy unsupervised visitation. Catherine is one tough litigator who you want on your side, and who will NEVER give up!"
