Susan E. Kamman

Completely disappeared after she got my retainer! Our last conversation she told me she was going to respond to my ex’s attorney the moment she hung up the phone, and she never did. Since then, she has not returned a single call, or email, no matter how much I try. This is an extremely difficult t...ime in my (or anyone’s) life and by abandoning me after she got her retainer, she’s made it exponentially harder. Do your research, and understand that lawyers are exactly who you think they are. Especially this one. After over 4 months of no contact from her, I was able to finish out my divorce without the help of Sue Kamman. I had to go around her back in order to get things done because she would not act. She blamed server/email issues for her reason not for contacting me, for over 4 months. Not once did she return one of my many phone calls. Having given up on any help from Sue, I requested she withdraw from my case, so that I could represent myself and finish my divorce. She made zero efforts to do this, and when the court date came, the judge was waiting for her to show up to the zoom call for over a half hour. After my ex’s attorney pressured her, Sue joined the call, just to withdraw as my attorney. She still has over half of my retainer, and has done the bare minimum of work, and effort. If you ask me my opinion, Sue Kamman is a criminal, and a fraud. I’ve requested my retainer back from her multiple times, and I’ve again received no response. This practice shows absolutely no professionalism, or human decency. I am disgusted by her behavior and I hope that the ARDC investigates these claims, as no lawyer should be allowed to do this to anyone. Sue Kamman should be disbarred.

I had a very positive experience with Mrs. Kamman as my divorce attorney. My case involved custody, a shared underwater home that was complex to get my name removed from (due to the mortgage company), and my wanting to maintain a positive relationship with my Ex. In other words, while it was a frien...dly divorce; it did involve several issues that needed legal expertise. Sue was able to provide that for me. Also Sue did an outstanding job presenting me in court. The McHenry county judges respect her and she has an excellent working relationship with them. She has the divorce court system memorized down to every detail and form. Recently my Ex passed away, and our child is still a teen. Sue was able to help and guide me on who to contact to take on this next complicated journey. She also was able to provide the estate attorney with the divorce documentation needed. It was very helpful and again it was very good experience. even though it occurred after my divorce business was complete and finalized.

I'm eternally grateful for Sue Kamman!! Not only was she able to assist me way beyond my expectations, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered so such emotional support. She explained everything, she gave me different options and so much advice. It didn’t stop after the case either! She goes above a...nd beyond for her clients. I highly recommend Sue without reservation.

I hired Susan to handle my not so pleasant divorce. From the very start Susan was as knowledgeable as they come. I was quite nervous as this was my first dealings with divorce and Susan had all the answers I needed to calm my nerves. The opposing attorney tried to play games during the process... and Susan stopped her in her tracks! Susan is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the complicated divorce laws in IL. Susan explained every step of the process and made sure I knew exactly what was going to happen and why it was going to happen. There were no surprises in the billing, as it was clearly stated upon the initial visits what I would be charge and why. Susan's court demeanor is excellent, there were times during my divorce that needed Susan to be stern and forceful which she did, and got the outcome we needed. Susan was always professional and polite with me, there were times when she was tough, but she had to be as things needed to get accomplished and I was dragging my feet... There were times when she was in court all day during trials, and still made the time to call me and make sure things got accomplished. Overall I'm very happy that I went to Susan. My ex wanted ALOT more than I wound up giving her, AND I get to see my kids on a weekly basis that originally wasn't going to happen.
