Suburban Legal Group, P.C.

John is great! He is responsive, cares for his clients, and is willing to go the extra mile for his clients. He is competitively priced and a great guy!

Last year, I found myself in another strained financial situation. I wasn't sure if bankruptcy was my only option so I reached out to John Carlin, who handled my bankruptcy in 2008 wonderfully! He did not try to convince me one way or the other ... but rather gave me very detailed information on my available options. He didn't give me a sales pitch, just answers to the questions I had which was very much appreciated! When I decided for myself that bankruptcy was the better option, John helped me through the entire process - beginning to end. With the millions of questions I had, that took quite a bit of patience. I am so glad I met John years ago and would highly recommend him!

Piloting through the legal system is not nearly as easy as some think it could be. A complex chess game is easier. Having not only a good attorney but a patient and reliable legal group is a lot harder to find. When dealing with the Bankruptcy is bad enough but when you top that off with a "Cook County" trial makes it oh so much even more difficult than it should be. When I brought in Chang and Carlin I read the comments from other clients and they do not even begin to say how good they really are. Winning in not just about the courts but feeling good enough about the process and results that are laid out and all potential outcomes are laid out for full understanding and comprehension. nnThey have walked me thru all the aspects of the case and offering to hold my hand as necessary.nnNot only would I recommend them but say that you would be a fool for not working with them.nnAbility is judged by performance and they have certainly proven their ability and more.nn

I was going through some hard times. I had an nearly 800 point credit score before my life started on a downward spiral. It wasn't only my financial situation on the blink, however, I knew I had to find a way to recover from the economic side of things with the least impact to myself. I did not want to file a bankruptcy at first, because of the stigma associated with it. But, from the news, listening to all the BIG companies filing bankruptcy, our Government and all its financial negligence, I began to see that, you know, it's alright for me too. I pay and pay into the system, and never truly get anything in return. Well, at this point in my life, I need help. I began researching bankruptcy attorneys and firms, I went from those advertised on TV like Peter Jerasy and others, I didn't feel comfortable with these firms, it felt too much like a meat market to me. I found the law office of John Carlin and set up an interview, this was my 3rd interview with a law firm. It seemed a good fit, John was more than a vulture wanting my money and business and set me free in the system to land where it will. John had reviewed with deep concern and individual attention, set up the best offering available for my situation, and I felt at rest and at ease, as a weight had been lifted. At least my financial life was taken care of, and I felt comfort in the professional and personal aspects of how John Carlin handled me, and my situation. From the beginning to the end, John was with me, on top of things, in constant communication. And I must say, John has always responded and gotten back to me in a very reasonable time, which really impressed me, this has never happened ever. During the entire process John was able to cancel a creditor from the bankruptcy due to their negligence on filing, and also, during this period I was getting harassing letters from a creditor still after filing, John was able to stop this, and impose on them a penalty and fine, of which went in my wallet, now, that felt good. All situations are different or not equal, but through it all, I appreciate John Carlin and the way he does business, his personal touch, and professionalism, During this time, I gained not only financial freedom, and a fresh start, of which John pointed me in the direction to rebuild, and I am on my way again, but, I also gained a good friend. I highly recommend that if you are in financial turmoil, along with the other stuff that goes with it, like myself, a bad divorce, broken down, life falling apart, attacked from all angles, I highly recommend that you stay away from the so called meat market industry of financial healing like credit fixing institutions, and the heavily flooded bankruptcy industry law firms and seek personal and professional advise before you begin your journey, with John Carlin at Chang & Carlin LLP.n nSincerely,nGary Dunn

I interviewed and researched 7 law firms prior to hiring Chang and Carlin. I am very happy with my decision. I recently recieved my discharge and validated my credit report. John Carlin was very intuitive and kept me in the loop through every step of the process. A++ Service.
