Thank you for the recommendation. A short review still takes a moment to write, and our team notices it. We will make sure Jerald sees your comment.
Best lawyer. With 35 years plus in the business it definitely shows. Truly a honest lawyer not looking to take advantage on your case but provide the best possible outcome for you. I’m thankful that he was able to give me advice for free on something simple instead of charging me by the hour and still having questions afterwards. Thank you Jerald I enjoyed our conversation over the phone.

Jim, thank you for taking the time to post this. We will pass your comments along to Jerry. Our office remains committed to treating each person who contacts us with attention and courtesy.
Got a great outcome with Jerry, got it downgraded and saved me money. It would of cost me more per year in added insurance costs, then it was to pay them to fight it. Highly recommend them. I didn't have all the money up front and they gave me time to pay it. Can't thank them enough.

Joseph, thank you for the recommendation. We try to be accommodating when it comes to payment timing, and it is good to hear that mattered to you. We will pass your comments along to Jerry.
Let me start by saying that Jerry is not only the best attorney in Lake County Illinois when it comes to his expertise but Jerry is an individual who will help you become successful in life. Once you encountered being one of Jerry’s clients he treats you like family helping you navigate thru life in a positive light. We all make bad decisions in life, and Jerry understands but what Jerry does is turns negatives into positive leaving you better off in life and a 2nd opportunity to make all the right decisions in life. You ultimately WIN at the end with JERRY.

Highly recommended and worth the money. I was looking at a long time away from my family and with his hard work and amazing team behind him he saved me from going away for a long time. Best lawyer in Illinois by far.

Andres… I’m relentless in getting the best possible outcome for my clients! Everyone makes mistakes but it’s my goal not to let one error define you, label you or derail your life !! Let met st them !!!
I retained Jerry to handle a citation and court appearance for an elderly family member. I spoke with him over the phone for a few minutes, sent his team the paperwork, answered a few questions, and they prepared a declaration based on that information. My family member did not even have to appear in court with the attorney from Jerry's team. He got the citation dismissed! No penalties or fees owed to the state. The price was very reasonable---actually, shockingly reasonable. I cannot give a higher recommendation. Great job.

Rob,… my 1st goal is to talk about the nuts and bolts of your case and its defensibility. My 2nd goal is to
talk from my heart because I know you’re hurting from what brought you in to see me. I must achieve both goals to make you whole.

Jerald was great!
I spoke with him late at night. He answered questions that my hired attorney did not answer. If I need an attorney again, I will definitely use Mr. Novak.
