Schlesinger & Strauss, LLC

Mike and his team couldn’t of done a better job representing our family in the most unfortunate of circumstances. Not only was Mike prepared for every eventuality in the courtroom, he treated my family with compassion & empathy and struck the perfect balance between preparation & understanding.

Deanna and Gary were a breeze to work with. Deanna was always calm and level-headed. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly. They were always courteous and professional and I appreciate how they handled my case.

My experience with Schlesinger, Strauss & Hoyt, LLC. was top notch. Always responsive and professional. Deanna took care of everything and made an otherwise un-fun process simple and smooth. Grateful for her guidance and expertise.

I cannot say enough GREAT things about this entire firm! They worked relentlessly to help me regain full custody of my daughter and in a timely fashion. Gary was amazing, not only professional, but also honest and kind. I HIGHLY recommend Schlesinger & Strauss to anyone in search of a lawyer in this area. Thank you Schlesinger & Strauss for bringing my baby home! I am forever grateful! ?

Please do not hire these people. Gary is by far the worst lawyer I have ever worked with. He can't even write a complete sentence or spell correctly. He often sent emails that I could not even understand due to poor grammar. All he cares about is filing useless motions. The case never ends. The entire law firm is scam. I filed a complaint with the Illinois bar. This man needs to be stopped. He will extort money from you, double bill, and he will demand full payment the day before court. He is forgetful, dishonest, lazy, messy, unprofessional, not prepared, and his appearance is unclean. He charged us for phone conversations while he talked about Covid, his wife, family, illness, office staff, and asked medical advice on the Covid vaccine )Maybe, I should bill him for my services. I am a health care professional and in the words of Gary "Why should I work for free" I paid him for phone time to hear about "How well his wife was caring for him" and his medical conditions. I should not have to pay 400.00/hour to hear about his psoriasis and reason why he can't wear shoes. Gary will tell you what you want to hear in the beginning but he will do nothing with your case. You will just be another case, another file, and another invoice. He is a thief. I will not stop until he is stopped! The double billing alone is grounds for attorney discipline. Please Please Please stay away from this crook!
