The Stogsdill Law Firm, A Professional Corporation

My ex is the one that hired this group and I see why. While trying to cordially talk to her attorney, Robert Boyd, he thinks he is something special and got in my face. When simply telling him to get out of my face, he gives an ugly smile and replied, 'why you gonna hit me'. Now keep in mind I'm 38 and in much better shape. This guy is like 75 yrs old trying to act like he is 20. Like I would get arrested for beating an old man. I did nothing to provoke the immature actions and it was pathetic. So if you're scum like my ex then this firm is perfect. If you have class and want a good lawyer look elsewhere. It was very low class and shows exactly the lawyer stereotype. As in a different setting we all know that would never be spoken

Not knowing anyone in Illinois, a foreign land to me, and being petitioned altogether , not a US Citizen , the support and appeasement that were provided to me during this hard time of my life are priceless. Sir William Stogsdill is an outstanding and a phenomenal lawyer ( beyond words) with a wealth of years and years of experience , had my back through out , I will never ever forget the positive impact he had and still have on my life. Lynn and Carleen are genuine people & true professionals who stand shoulder to shoulder firmly to their clients during their distressed time. Lynn -you are awesome. My only left inspiration to come to US-IL would be to come visit you all! The Lambhorgini of Family law of Illinois , I would say!

I am pleased with my attorney at Stogsdill When you net it out he saved me far more $$$ than the fees they charged to handle my case. Unfortunately this was not my first rodeo and I've had some ringside seats with divorces of friends, in-laws and out-laws. My first atty from many years ago was good. My atty from Stogsdill seemed to be far smarter and a better 'tactician' shall we say. I never felt he prolonged the case to get more billable hours. I have some cognitive issues. Brian was very patient with me, made sure that I understood what he was doing and why. He very patiently listened to what I felt I needed in the settlement and he clearly explained what I was entitled to by the law and what I could expect to finish with. I truly felt like I had a partner in the battle and yes, by definition divorce is a battle. In my experience the 'amicable divorce' is a myth. In my case, Brian was a great war time consiliere. (go watch The Godfather) Another thing that sometimes gets overlooked is that Stogsdill has a great staff. They treat you respectfully. They are well coordinated and on top of your case. Just really nice folks to do business with. We finished up my case a month or so ago. However as these things often go my ex has not yet satisfied her taste for blood. Like Michael Corleone said in Godfather III; 'Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.' So be prepared, forge a good relationship with your atty. You're going to need him/her for the long haul. My atty certainly did his part in forging that partnership. Your mileage may vary.

Great representation

Please read this... Michael Chiero was not at all interested in my case and was always too busy to talk to me. He was not ready for court when trial day came, and I had to call him less than a week before, when I found out from my ex that we were going to court. Michael said he thought it was later in the month. Not so, and he was not at all prepared and ended up pressuring me to sign an AWFUL agreement. So bad that my new lawyer is stuck with trying to amend what he can and claiming it is 'mind boggling' how awful the settlement was. Other people I know have had good experiences with Stogsdill, but are also shocked at what an awful job Micheal Chiero did.
