Joel R. Monarch

Did a great job reducing my taxes and just let me know when I need to sign something or when there is a check.

This is so Frustrating, I hired Monarch legal group and enrolled in their program on April 2020, I lost my job due to Covid 19 so I thought it was a great option. They preach on how they can help you consolidated your debt at 0% interest and reduce payments and with their calculations a portion of your debt would have been forgiven. Well after 10 months in the program and with an account in litigation I just have $548 dollars I can use towards the settlement as they use the $4000 to pay themselves first. Little did I know they used all my allegedly savings to pay for fees I didn't even know nor they told me. Nothing has been settled, I have another account with them that I want to remove and work directly with the financial institution but they will not give me back any money whatsoever and will still own them money if I stop the program. They have not done absolutely anything. I have been paying for my lawyer for 10 months and just got a hold of him 2 weeks ago and all he said was that he can't do anything due to not having enough funds. I will still need to pay the full amount I own to them with interest and will still had paid Monarch to damage my credit and close to $3500 in fees. I want my money back. This is A SCAM. Monarch Legal Group is just taking advantage of people in need and not receiving any of the results they claim. GUESS WHAT !!! I want to have a full refund of all the money I have paid to Monarch Legal Group. In the state of Illinois there is a new law that protects consumers about debt settlement scams 1- prohibits all upfront and montly fees upfront, except for 1 time $50 application fee (THEY USED ALL MY MONEY IN FEES) 2- Cap fees at 15% of the saving archived from settling the debt, ensuring that a debt settlement company only gets paid when it does what it promised to do. (THEY TOOK 85% I GAVE THEM FOR FEES) 3- prohibits debt settlement companies from advising customers to stop paying their creditors.(THEY TOLD ME TO STOP PAYING MY CREDITORS) 4 - Allow customers to cancel a contract at any time, with a prompt refund of fees. (THEY DON'T WANT TO RETURN MY MONEY AS ALMOST 4K WAS USED FOR FEES AND NO REPRESENTATION)

Joel and his team have been our property tax attorneys for over a decade. Great results, quick response and good communication each and every year! We would highly recommend Joel.

I have had Joel file an appeal for me and the process was smooth and I only paid him based on the savings he was able to get me. I would use him again and refer his services.

I just discovered that this joker filed an appeal on my tax assessment with the Cook County Assessor's Office in July 2008... without my knowledge or approval. Disreputable ambulance chaser? You decide.
