Very rude and dishonest

Absolutely horrible attorney. She does not care about anything. She will treat you like easy money, She didnt even remember who filed the motion first. She is rude, and manipulative. Please save yourself the trouble, money and time because you will lose everything.

This person is anonymous because they did not hire me and I was not their attorney. I am a Guardian ad Litem. This means I work for the court. I represent the best interest of the child. I do not represent the parent. This parent is responsible for their motion and knowing when they filed it. The issues I am responsible for are determined by the court and have nothing to do with which parent filed first. Even though this person won’t say who they are because nothing in their review is true, I believe I was paid by the County of Winnebago, not this parent, and at half the rate family attorneys charge.

The best

Maureen did a wonderful job representing my case she almost got everything split evenly. She excepted case knowing my hardship. She traveled to Dekalb. The best Lawyer I have had.

Can’t go wrong with Lawson

Maureen Lawson worked hard on my custody case for my eldest Daughter in which I had been struggling with for years. A past client of hers had heard my story and had given me her business card and assured me I couldn’t go wrong with Maureen. And boy was he right. She is very fair in her prices also an...d understands the struggles some people may face hiring a lawyer. I am forever in debt to her helping me. I couldn’t be happier and now my daughter and I don’t have anything to worry about anymore.
