Peoria States Attorneys Office

Posting on behalf of Travis & Dominique- My attorney was the person who carried both of the weight when my husband and I could not any longer! The fight she put up And the team’s guidance helped us understand that when you feel like you’re alone reach out and prarrie State Legal services hold your hand. Out of respect for our attorney I won’t mention the her name. I will tell you my name is Dominique and I greatly appreciate how you were mindful of medical conditions and I admit I’m a lot to handle but I appreciate the fight and wins

Would give Negative Stars if I could, they claimed to have a conflict of interest Because they want to support a scumlord that has done nothing at all but cause me and my Roommates pain and Agony. they also take forever to get back to you so don't expect to be with someone with in a matter of minutes it took me a month to reach out to anyone here. The current Landlord I'm dealing with Has basically Refused to take care of Any of the problems we have here nor do we have heating for this winter and these guys were no help!

I was told by one of them to try to obtain guardianship of my adult son with disabilities (but that they don't help with guardianship so didn't help with that), then call back when his ssi case gets denied a second time. (They said they could only help after it gets denied a second time). So I call back during second denial and then was told by another of their "attorney" that they couldn't help me because of a "conflict of interest " because I had previously called about getting help with guardianship? (which they didn't help me with, I called the first time about his ssi appeal..they only recommended I get guardianship from what I recall). She told me it was hard to explain.. ok well made no sense either! I believe she was saying the guardianship was for me and the ssi for my son? Well sorry but I don't need the guardianship or ANY of it for myself.. believe me! I'd very much just like to live my own life and not have to worry about my adult son! I feel she may have thought I was lying about something with my son. I have no reason to lie just a frustrated parent unable to seem to get any help for my son because he turned the magic number of 18 and unable to care for himself on his own. Honestly, this woman wouldn't have been able to represent him anyways with the impression I got from her. No thank you. It's pretty sad that this seems to be the only "pro bono" attorney s around in Illinois and they are of zero help only add to the stress, frustration and confusion in my case.

Would not even talk to me or refer me to somebody who could help! I’m a single mom living paycheck to paycheck! I am raising my daughter alone but I’m told I make to much much for them to help me! Where do I go when I don’t have $4,000 for a retainer! Your system is messed up! I need a pro bono attorney and I’m left to fight on my own! No one will help me!!!!

Scammers and of no help to citizens needing their assistance. Use the excuse they have limited funds and won't do what you need. Our taxes ultimately pay their salaries, so you would think they would and could do anything a citizen needs, instead of making excuses. Found out you have to pay per page reviewed, $100's of dollars. I can't afford their peo-bono assistance. What a joke! They must enjoy being an embarrassment to the poor people of Illinois! Must have been Ameren executives in their prior lives!
