Reviews

Peter Storm was very helpful to our family with regard to a small business and the issues involving partnership. He is extremely knowledgeable, articulate and personable. We are pleased with the outcome of the issue and will be turning to him again when we need assistance. I recommend him to anyone with a legal issue. I also found his assistant to be very supportive. She was able to coordinate schedules and distribute information in a very timely fashion.
I received excellent advice and counsel from Peter Storm. He and his legal assistant have great personalities and seem to care about their clients. I highly recommend their firm.
This particular review is for Attorney Peter Storm personally. Please don't use this attorney. He is terrible with communication, and if he does not find your case his priority he will just nickel and dime you with charges. I presented him with a good case in the consultation, and at the consultation he assured me it was a very strong case for winning and he wanted to take on the case. That was not how he treated me and my case after I handed over to him the $2500 retainer fee. He basically absorbed the cost with emails and phone calls, never actually filing in court (which I begged him to like 5 times - but charged me for emails and phone calls every time I asked). He asked for all the documentation, which I supplied at the beginning , then later he asked again for the same documentation which he charged me again for documentation he was already given. Just really take this review into consideration, and shop around for attorneys.
Peter Storm has represented me on several matters since 2003 and now that I live in another state I still have him handle all of my legal matters in Illinois. Peter has been professional, ethical and has always looked out for my best interest while making sure I understood all of my options. I would highly recommend Peter Storm to anyone without hesitation.
We have been using Cooper, Storm, and Piscopo for all of our business, real estate, and personal transactions for many years and am overwhelmed with the prompt, professional, and personal service we have had from them every time. Their office staff is always polite and efficient and never leaves any stones unturned. Thumbs up to this group!
