Mc Gehee, Olson, Pepping, Balk & Kincaid, LTD

Went in twice about an issue neither time was the lawyer was interested in helping us. They put me with a lawyer that had no clue. Kept shrugging his shoulders I don’t know. Definitely not willing to go over and beyond to help us. Finally said he could try but wanted a retainer, he said this would not be covered by John Deere’s legal plan. According to metlife it is. Very disappointed

Absolutely worthless! I made the unfortunate mistake of coming back to this office after a less than fantastic experience the first time. I gave the benefit of the doubt but that was my poor judgment. The communication in this office is abhorrent! I left 17 messages over the course of a month as a returning client and got no calls back. I wasn't told about court dates, had consultations scheduled for dates after the court hearings they were meant to address, and literally no response to emails or phone messages. They were prompt with billing though. Imagine that. While I understand that there are nuances to legal dealings that I may not be privy to no attempt was made to explain why things were being handled as they were. I had several goals that I wanted accomplished and I was told we should take it one goal at a time. That approach lead to me being the victim of a crime for which I now have to pay more money to get justice. They make sure to take their sweet time billing $300 for 10 minutes of work. But no real progress to show for it. I placed an offer on a house a month ago and have heard nothing more since then. They're definitely the epitome of slimeball attorneys who milk every cent they think they can instead of actually helping.

Very patient and friendly. Would definitely go there again.

I always refer my real estate clients to Jerry Pepping. Always a smooth closing, great communication, and they go out of their way to help with any questions!

***FIND A PROFESSIONAL LAW OFFICE!!*** Spoke with katherine teel who agreed to represent me one week the following week papers were signed for representation and fee designation details and retainer paid in cash. Only to find out two whole business days later that they can no longer represent me because they allowed the respondent in the case to come in and have an interview with one of the other attorneys from this office because they can't bother to have a list of currently represented clients. That being said that indicates that there is a huge communication issue with this office as well as the ability to handle services in a professional manner and for charging $285 an hour to appear to be professional this is absolutely unprofessional and quite honestly disgusting. So not only do I now have to attempt to find a new attorney, but I also have to do it 2 days behind the respondent as their ability to communicate their failure took them that long during a standard business week. Then when I called in to find out how about getting my refund I'm told by the receptionist that she's currently in a meeting with a client despite having just been hung up on and hearing her in the background speaking very poorly about her previous client that she failed. Save your time and money anyone and everyone who reads this!! I'll be following up with the Illinois better Business bureau and hopefully some organization that oversees attorneys in Illinois this is unexcusable.
