My direct advice: see reviews on Yelp. I don't know if these are personal friends and family leaving positive high scores but in my direct and costly experience ... 1) Closing was delayed several times with extensions needed 2) I paid for every extension 3) I didn't receive nor do I believe they acted in good faith. Deadlines consistently missed without explanation given to me, the BUYER, nor forewarning. 4) I know it's not the Chicago way because we've dealt with other Seller Attorneys on different properties around the area without these issues. 5) I cannot recommend. What should have been a 30 day closing ran 2 months if not a day shy.
This law firm does the absolute minimum to finish the task. When a buyer backed out at the last minute, he did nothing to retain the escrow. We had to prod him to call and find out how a bank pre-approval finance letter could be issued then suddenly not be approved. He didn't want to go through the hassle. When the condo was finally sold, he did not ask any questions regarding the tax exemptions on the property. As a result, 7 months later they came back asking for $2k more for taxes. *** PROTECT yourself and pick another Lawyer who actually REVIEWS the contract and explains everything before giving it to you to sign. ***
I spoke with an attorney about a personal issue with a local mechanic shop. The gentleman I spoke with was very informative and helpful. Thank you!
Thank you John for helping me with an emergency!!
Does a great job, explains things so you can understand.
