Divorce

I hired Florek to handle my case in Cook County. I had been separated from my husband for over a year and he moved to California. Mr. Florek was extremely knowledgeable, gave me great advice, and went over different potential outcomes with me. I felt like I knew what was going to happen throughout... the entire process. He handled my situation with courtesy and compassion and gave me very favorable results. I would highly recommend Mr. Florek for anyone going through a divorce.

An excellent attorney to assist you with your legal needs and advice.

Attorney Florek took the time to understand my problem, gave me excellent advice, and assisted me along the way. Because of the advice I was given by him, I was able to win both my appeals. Had it not been for him, life for me and my family would be so much more stressful while being unemployed. I... shall forever be grateful to him and I would gladly recommend him to anyone that is in need of his services.

Great Lawyer

Tom is a very good lawyer. My family needed Tom to advise on the step-by-step process regarding guardianship of another family member. Tom went out of his way for the meeting, was very responsive to all questions during the meeting as well as subsequent to it. We would use Tom for all of our nee...ds if we were able to do so.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Tom Florek was an exceptional public defender for over 4 years prior to opening his own firm. During that time, Tom successfully defended hundreds of clients, through both trial victories and plea negotiations. His criminal mind is impeccable, and his ability to identify potholes in the prosecution's case is second-to-none. I highly recommend him in all criminal work."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
