Lake Toback Law Firm

Do not waste you money. One of the worst and most corrupted lawyers in Chicago. Really bad experience. All talk and no action. Delays your case as much as possible to over bill you. When asked questions Alan does not give straight answers and tries to keep you in the dark, very misleading. Most of the calls and emails were simply ignored and you get responses from his secretary. Finally, during a conference calls Mr. Toback does not remember your case or what was discussed previously. It looked like he was totally detached from the case, so you have to repeat everything again and, of course, every time they charge you for the time. Its like a tactic to bill you more. Documents were provided to them multiple times and later they asked for the same documents again. They mislead you with the billing and do not provide invoices, and when you requested them – you find out they were charging for the services they never did. In summary, I spend over $12k in less than two months and nothing got done. Very unprofessional. Do your due diligence and hire another firm more ethical for much less money. It was a huge $12k mistake to hire Lake Toback DiDomenico, they just wanted my money and didn't care about the case at all.

My wife and I had a very difficult child custody case. All my attorney friends told me it was a super long shot before we started the process. Steve Lake and Alan Toback did a phenomenal job. They were creative, diligent and responsive throughout the whole process. They were available off hours, weekends, during the holidays. Their effort was incredible. The end result was far beyond our expectation. My wife was able to reunite with her sons after years of separation. Steve and Alan played a pivotal role in this. I cannot imagine better family attorneys than Steve and Alan. Kwai Kong

My child is the most important person in my life, and I had been in a highly contested divorce proceeding against my lawyer wife for three years when Lake Toback Di Domenico agreed to take my case. They listened to me, helped me set realistic expectations, and created a strategy that allowed me the time I need with my daughter to be a full time dad, while allowing me to keep my financial freedom. Choosing a lawyer to represent you during a life changing event is a stressful decision, and although Lake Toback DiDomenico was not my first choice when I began my litigation, they proved to be my best choice by far when it came down to being treated honestly and working toward the results I needed to go forward with my life. Thank you Michael!!!

Great partner for a difficult time. I can not say enough about how impressed I have been with Sean and the entire Lake Toback DiDomenico firm. They were great partners during a very difficult time (divorce is not easy) and got a great outcome. Not only are they amazing lawyers, they are a great support structure. I would recommend them over and over.

I went through a very difficult divorce case. I started working with Lake Toback DiDomenico (and soon Hamann) on an appeal to the main case. They did an exceptional job with the appeal and were very professional to work with. Later when my counsel on the main case quit three weeks before the trial was scheduled to begin, I hired them to represent the main case. Again I was very pleased with both the work product and service. I only wish I had hired them originally in the case -- it would have saved a lot of money and emotional toll!
