I cannot be sure who "K Weiss" is, yet appreciate antics as a reminder of how grateful I am for William G. Clark, Jr. & Associates, Ltd. I retained Mr. Clark's firm to handle all aspects of my marital dissolution and custody proceedings. William is skilled, prompt, professional and great at his job. I am very happy with his representation and with the outcome of my case and consequently have recommended him to many others seeking divorce advice.

I engaged this attorney to represent me in a post-divorce case. I found this attorney to be less than professional when it came to billing matters. I will give few examples here He has another attorney - John who helps in drafting petitions. My petition moved around between these attorneys and each time I was billed twice given the agreement that I would be billed based on the “time spent”. As a result, for a simple initial petition, I ended up paying twice as much and the initial costs to file petition itself ran in to thousands. He has an assistant who prepares files for court appearances and submits petitions. She billed me for the time spent on “file preparation for the court date”. When William would write me a letter regarding the updates after court appearances, instead of emailing me, he would use his stationary - letter head. His assistant would then write her own elaborate email and forward me William's letter as a pdf attachment. For these simple administrative tasks (submitting petitions/memorandum to the court, forwarding William’s updates), she billed me at $250/Hr which is just as much as regular attorney rates in Chicago. He also drafted needless petitions without consulting me and billed me for the same. They were never used in the litigation. For the pretrial, his co-attorney wrote the memorandum and then he reviewed it, again did final review and then again spent time on it in preparation for pre-trial. The only point I am able to provide to his credit is that he filed petitions timely and was present on court dates. But I would have expected this from any professional lawyer. There are some reputable lawyers on the Clark street and in my opinion, this particular firm is not among them.

Very upset I had high hopes as I was recommended this lawyer by one of his family members. I called and scheduled an appointment I drove 45 minutes and called because I was having trouble finding the office. The receptionist asks my name and says she doesn’t have me down for an appointment I was confused cause I had just made the appointment a week prior. Her response was I called and you didn’t answer so I filled the spot with someone else, I did not receive a call from her or a text. So I just drove 45 minutes for nothing and I get to drive 45 min back with no answers to my legal questions or a lawyer.

Brian Hurst and his staff represented me during a complex, grueling and bitter three-year divorce battle. Mr. Hurst's professionalism and knowledge of the law is only outweighed by his sincerity and honesty. During the entire process I was treated more like family instead of just another "client." At trial I could not have been in better hands as I was astounded by his confidence, expertise and court room presence. I am extremely happy with the end result and would highly recommend Hurst, Robin, & Kay to anyone who wants world class legal representation.

Candace, was a dream come true as an attorney. She was sympathetic, and knowledgeable. She was extremely professional dealing with an emotionally abusive ex husband, who tried to control and take over the divorce proceedings. She constantly checked in with me, made me feels supported listened to me about what my goals and concerns were during the divorce, and responded quickly, regarding any issue. Thanks to her, we got through a very difficult situation quickly and she made sure my needs were not run over but respected the entire time. If you can have a good experience during a divorce, she was my absolute light in a very dark tunnel.

I have had 3 previous attorneys who fell short and this firm was by FAR the best I have ever dealt with. They explained everything in layman’s terms and were sensitive to not incur additional legal fees. I highly recommend them.

When my twin brother was diagnosed with Parkinson's, his wife of 37 years found a boyfriend and decided to file for divorce. He was devoted to his marriage, his children and his faith. His decision to choose an attorney was based upon his faith. My brother chose a very kind and compassionate attorney. Van Schwab took great care, guiding my brother, with patience and empathy, allowing him his dignity, throughout the process. As my brother's disease progressed, I had to step in and help him online. I live several states away, he and his staff kept me informed as to how to help my brother, always knowledgeable and professional, thorough in the process of the complexities of the law, never making me feel inadequate. Van Schwab became more than an attorney to my brother, but also a friend. He had my brother's best interests at heart, as he helped him navigate through a challenging situation, and ending with a fair settlement. I would highly recommend his expertise to anyone dealing with a difficult divorce.

I have had a very good experience with Bradford & Gordon. They handled my divorce as well as a pre-nuptial agreement for my current marriage. I felt that they were invested in my well-being (personal, financial and emotional) throughout the entire process, and that they were fair, honest and direct at all times, which I greatly appreciate. I have since referred them to several friends and friends-of-friends, who also have positive things to say about Derek, Mitch and their team.

2.0 stars Posted by Paul December 9, 2019 While Mr. Bradford seemed very supportive and enthusiastic when I first retained him, his attention to my case dwindled as it went forward in court. As time went on I found it very difficult to get a hold of Mr. Bradford in a timely way, even as some conflicts with my ex required a timely response. When my case eventually came to its climactic appearance before the court Mr. Bradford handled himself very poorly before the judge, to the extent that the judge became very angry at Mr. Bradford and ordered him to sit down in the spectator's area and remain silent. I was left to speak for myself as my case was settled. Mr. Bradford then asked me not to mention what had happened to anyone.

It appeared Mitchell Gordon and his team were very thorough and helpful when taking on my case which had been delayed in pre-trial court for 2 plus previous years. I thought I had found a good, ethical representative for me, but when the time came to 'negotiate' with the trial judge and the ex's unscrupulous attorney, the monies I was told I would be getting paid back to me, for example: monthly support from my ex, court ordered to me during the divorce in which he refused to pay, $40K the ex deceivingly took out of one of our joint accouts which I had pointed out to Mitchell and ask him to go after (in which he said he would), but did not, $70K the ex had accused me of stealing and told I had to pay him back, in which I had provided evidence to the contrary numerous times and was told I was cleared of, plus other items totaling ~$300K, Mitchell Gordon let my ex walk away with. I was yelled at, threatened, gas-lighted and told if I didn't pay the ex these monies, I would be forced to go to trial. All that this attorney wanted to do was end the divorce proceedings quickly no matter what it cost me. Do not believe any attorney who tells you they will make sure you get the funds owed you 'at the end' of the divorce. It Never happens. After a 30 plus year marriage as a stay at home mom of 3, my disabled son and I have had to now figure out how we will live on much less than we were promised and suppose to have received, but never will. In addition, at one point I was told by this attorney that he did not need my business, because I was not receiving very much in the settlement anyway and he had many other wealthier clients. This did not seem to matter though when I asked him to forgive $10K of my very large last invoice, but he refused. I ended up paying this attorney over $64K to finalize a divorce where I ended up losing ~$300K to my ex which belonged to me and my son. Beware.

I came to Marie Fahnert with a difficult divorce challenge and detailed to her specifically what I was hoping to accomplish. She was forthright about where I should set my expectations (as they were initially both too high and too low) and we began developing a sensible legal strategy that allowed me to do some of legwork (to keep fees reasonable). What I quickly discovered is that Marie is a hard-working (and sometimes overworked), thoughtful, honest family law attorney. There is no glitz or attitude or pretense. I always felt like I was getting straightforward counsel. Two particular areas of her practice deserve praise. She shines in her research, writing and preparation. And her firm is mostly paperless utilizing the web application Box to create virtual file cabinets to share communications and documents with her clients. I always had access to every document related to my case. Do not be dissuaded by the fact that she is a younger attorney. She has honed her courtroom presence, never seeming flustered by grumpy judges or overzealous opposing counsel. While her hourly rates are not cheap, I still felt her services were a true value. I couldn't be more pleased with the partnership we created and the results of our efforts. I highly recommend her.

Marie is a smart, thoughtful, effective attorney who approaches law the way you would want your advocate to represent you. Above all, she is a person of integrity, who approaches things calmly, strategically and with a solid understanding of the law. Integrity in the field of family law is a rare quality; there are so many ego-maniacal, self-serving, self-dealing attorneys out there. You never know if they are out for you or out for themselves. People get so caught up in divorce; they think they have to file this motion and that motion. Most of it is nonsense and just serves to jack up the fees of the attorney, who will gladly tell you why you should be at "war" with your ex. They then start a war for you that nobody can win and everybody, but the attorneys, lose. Marie won't do that. She will counsel you, help you, empower you to make good decisions for yourself. It is the most important thing you could ask for. And, if your ex starts a war against you, I can not think of anyone more effective than Marie at stomping out that fire and getting you safely and reasonably out the other side. Marie is the attorney for people who have a life and want to get on with it, rather than spending every last bit of energy fighting it out in the courts. I could not recommend Marie more highly.
