Attorney Angela is the best.As a father who was fighting for custody of my children.Attorney Angela will go to battle for you.I am very pleased and grateful with the outcome.She is the best.The whole staff is great.The prices are great too!FYI ask for Angela
I had the pleasure to work with Ian Elliot! It was a wonderful experience. He was so professional and got back to me in a great amount of time when I left a message or his phone. I really appreciate the professionalism. He always made me feel like myself and my case was really important to him. I appreciate the time he took to keep me updated on things. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone that needs a lawyer, thank you again Ian!
I had a week to find a lawyer and i got served on a Thursday, Last minute find and couldn’t be more comfortable with the decision I made. Every other firm I been through was rushing, went straight to business really didn’t hear me out or made me comfortable or should I say buy me. Buchmiller actually took the time, asked questions, gave me multiple Scenarios of what could happen and business after which really didn’t seem like it was about money just more concern of helping me out. At the end of the day I got half of what I deserved as a father.Good communication all around, made it easy and fast for my situation I was in. Couldn’t be happier with the out come.Thank you for everything.
Christopher Was one of the most responsive and honest attorneys I’ve ever worked with. I finally made some progress in a long 13 year battle for my daughter. It was a hard case and Chris handled it professionally and was very responsive throughout the whole case. If I ever need to go back to court in the future I will definitely be hiring Chris again.
Attorney Dominic Buchmiller is very professional and dedicated to his work. Gave me all the updates in every step of the way. Will recommend this family law firm to anyone. Simply the best.
I have been in and out of the Cook County Family Court system for years. Family Court is unbelievably stressful, especially when you have children involved in your litigation. Kalima Swain was my attorney during this final trip through the court system and she was far and away the very best attorney I have encountered. She returns phone calls and emails and answers all of your questions, even the farfetched and panicked ones with complete professionalism. I would and will recommend her as an amazing and very conscientious attorney. Thank you Kalima!
Super professional, Dominic was my lawyer and he was professional and attentive. He was super nice from the beginning to end of my process of dissolution of marriage. I highly recommend them. Fees were also very reasonable.
Kalima helped me with my family case, she was professional, compassionate and understanding. I felt like she had got the hard part done, so I can be strong for my family again.
Mr. Jake Brown has been outstandingly helpful and professional. I have worked with him for a long time. Highly recommended!
It was my pleasure doing business with Angela Curry. Highly recommend services. Really appreciate this Law Group ! 💙
Before finding John Buchmiller & Associates I really thought my divorce would take forever, it took less than 6 months. Jane and all the other associates stay on top of everything and the communication level is superb. Of your looking for a family lawyer THEIR IT.
I have found John and Dominic to be excellent professionals. They delivered first-class service for me and I would highly recommend them.
No one ever calls an attorney because its fun, or things are easy. You call them when things are quite complicated. In my case a custody battle, which is never easy when there is a child involved. I worked with Evelyn H. who was extremely professional and knowledgable about all things regarding custody and my case. Even when Id get heated regarding what was happening (which Im sorry happened often). She was able to remain calm and talk me through the facts of the case and our next steps. You become very close with an attorney in a custody case over the course of 6+ months and I would say it was a pleasure working with Evelyn under the circumstances. If I needed to use an attorney again (god forbid) I would definitely be calling Buchmiller & Associates immediately. Extremely affordable and professional.
Just finished up a parenting plan and child support agreement Attorney Jacob Brown help me to understand everything through out my case. Every time I called he picked up or called me back immediately.Would definitely recommend this firm. Finish my case quickly had to fired my previous attorney due to lack of communication. Jacob was so understandable the minute i told him what was going on with my case. Very happy with the results and would recommend John Buchmiller & Associates! Good people / great service thank you!
I dealt with Chris. As many family issues this was a very emotional and high stress situation. Chris not only responded to each and every one of my questions i asked, he did so with urgency. He was very understand, honest and did exactly what he said he would do. I know i was not the easiest person to deal with but he handled it and never got frustrated with my millions of questions or scenarios or emotions. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.
I really happy with everything they are doing for and my kids so I can have my time with them just be there for them happy to have them on my side
Me and my wife have contacted the bar association about the fake positive reviews that this firm has posted. UPDATE: We should welcome Google to investigate fake reviews along with the bar association.
I used Jacob Brown to represent me in my child support case. By far the worst experience I’ve ever had with any lawyer. For starters, he didn’t even show up to the first court hearing.Could ONLY get a hold of him when it was time to pay up. Weeks would go by before I could even get an update on my case despite countless attempts to reach out. Absolutely unprofessional.I can’t speak on the whole firm, but whatever you do do NOT let Jacob Brown represent you unless you simply want to be taken advantage of.
AWFUL terrible attorneys. Dont be misled by the high ratings. I had a very similar experience to another reviewer. If you have a child custody case and your children are important to you, DO NOT hire this firm. Initially, I looked up some firms and these guys had good reviews and called me right back. I talked to Brenden and told him what had happened up to that point and that my ex wife most likely fled the state with my children He filed some motions on my behalf and got me a court order that my ex was supposed to return the children to the state and to my custody within 7 days. So far so good. Well my ex, who was living with her new boyfriend, just straight up ignored that court order and filed a retaliatory order of protection against me in another county claiming I had assaulted her 5 months prior. They filed a motion to hold her contempt, then suddenly withdrew it themselves. Then they said we would go to a hearing about the EOP and thats when they passed my case to Angela Curry. Without ever having a hearing, the EOP was extended to an interim order. According to substitute counsel, my attorney lost to a pro se (aka someone not a lawyer representing themselves). Ms. Curry, who only passed the bar exam in 2019, should have been shadowing someone because I dont think she has anywhere near enough experience to be working alone. She was completely clueless, incompetent, and borderline negligent. Case communication was awful. Motions were being filed and responded to without ever informing me or sending me copies. Oh, and she forgot to tell me for a straight month that I was supposed to take a drug test. You can imagine my surprise when I shower up to court and they were like mom took a test as soon as we asked but dad hasnt.I could keep going on and on but you get the point by now. My next attorney did more in 2 weeks than these guys did in 6 months. I paid them roughly $7,000 and all they did was make things even worse for me. My divorce could have been finalized already had I not hired incompetent lawyers to represent me. Please dont make the same mistake I did. If your case is important to you or it involves custody of your children, you are playing roulette with this firm. The attorney I hired to replace them was shocked at their negligence and the fact that more than half the documents were missing from my file. They never give me the marital interrogatories or notice to produce from opposing counsel. She said they could lose their license for such negligence and I agree.
Professional and responsive during uncertain times. This law firm went above and beyond. Thank you for your offering your expertise and being honest.
Am so glad i was able to get help, after so long trying to move out of state with my son, that no other lawyer was able to help me out.. EVELYN HERNANDEZ did a very good job.. she helped me get threw this.. every question i had she was there and answer me very fast. always emailing me.. i got very lucky. thankyou John Buchmiller & Associates... specially to EVELYN HERNANDEZ.... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻highly recommend👍🏼👍🏼🙌🏻.. - Erika Gomez
It takes very special people to gracefully handle the emotionally charged nature of family law that involves the personal welfare of children. Brendan Davis was enthusiastic to accept my unusual and challenging case. The tactics of the other party constantly bombarded the case with new difficulties and legal complexities. Jacob Brown joined the effort to help drive closure to the case as he and Brendan successfully maneuvered covid disruption of the legal system. The positive resolution of my case was broader and more empowering than could have been imagined at its onset. Brendan and Jacob have the tenacity and empathy on top of core competency to humanely help families in crisis.
Very satisfied with Dominic. He handled my case very professionally and timely. Also, affordable comparing to a lot of divorce lawyers.
I highly recommend this law firm if you are looking to get divorced. Fast responses and always available if questions or issues come up. Evelyn Hernandez is top notch!! All around, I was very pleased with the entire experience and highly recommend for anyone looking to hire an attorney.
I was not a client due to being disappointed with the person I spoke with on the phone. Pushing the narrative that your competition is smearing your name without doing any background research is the exact mentality I noticed on the phone that made me choose to NOT retain your services. Dismissive and unprofessional. About sums it up.Edit; in response to the firms reply. I would never retain your firms services. Both phone calls to your office have been disappointing.
I had great pleasure of working with this law firm to help me get a fast and easy divorce ..it was quick and easy... as I knew it would be by the way the firm was being Operated ~I would recommend Christopher if you have a Dissolution of marriage in the near future ~ It will be the best money you’ve ever spent ..Christopher kept me posted on all the steps that was necessary in my case ..Thank you
I highly recommend this law firm if you are looking to get divorced. I was given solid advice, and guided through the entire process. I had a lot of questions up front before retaining them and they answered all of them. My ex-husbands lawyer never returned his calls and he had to wait for days to get a call back, whereas I got calls returned within 24 hours. All around, I was very pleased with the entire experience and highly recommend for anyone looking to hire an attorney.
Evelyn Hernandez of John Buchmiller & Associates is the most helpful and responsive attorney I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I was in need of a complicated child support modification/arrears settlement and Evelyn attacked the negotiation with persistent communication. I was able to reach out to Evelyn by email or direct line and always received immediate response. Evelyn also successfully interfaced with my former wife, opposing counsel, the judge, the attorney general, the SDU, and numerous clerks at the IDHFS. No surprise billing. Even after the billing stopped Evelyn continued helping me finalize the child support modification and arrears settlement. Evelyn Hernandez helped me and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a powerful attorney who knows how to communicate and get things done!
Im more than elated with my experience! Communication and professionalism was perfect! Save yourself some time,and have them do it the right way!!
Good evening I had a huge problem trying to get my child support to stop in Chicago Illinois. I called down to the child support office they put me on hold never came back to the phone on lady was so rude she told me that sense my child had been emancipated that I was to continue to pay the same amount as the original order which was a complete lie and when I ask for her supervisor he called back the next day and told me that yes the laws changed and your to continue to pay the original amount so I contact John Buchmiller & Associates talk to them the said they could help the attorney that worked on my case was a-gentleman by the name of Ian Elloit was awesome listened to me read the paperwork on my case EVERYTIME I CALLED HIM HE RETURNED MY CALLS Now I contacted this firm at the end of November Ian Elliot had a court date at the end of January now I told Ian I live out of town and could not be available do to my work schedule no problem he said I’ll take care of it I owed back pay Ian got me a great price on my back pay got me the paperwork of the final decision very quickly the price for the case was awesome I highly recommend this firm and Ian Elloit
With the help of John Buchmiller & Associates, I was able to get an agreeable resolution on a parenting-agreement that I had been working on for over 5 years. They helped get a better outcome for myself and my daughter than I could have gotten on my own, and they were understanding and accommodating for the financial situation that 2020 has put my family in. They were great to work with, and Im very happy with the result.
Terrible service just straight money hungry tell you everything they can do basically what you wanna hear and achieve nothing at all. If you wanna be tried cursed at and talk to like a child they are great for that.
I worked with Jacob throughout the process and he was very communicative and responsive during it all. Very affordable in comparison to other places Ive reached out to! Would definitely recommend this firm.
I was looking for an attorney to represent me in my fight for joint custody of my son. I found John Buchmiller and associates. Attorney Jacob Brown help me to understand my rights as a father and navigate through the process of obtaining joint custody. Attorney Brown was not only fair to me but also to the other parent. The other law firms I looked into were very expensive this is an affordable law firm. I highly recommend John Buchmiller and Associates for family law matters.
I had a case and Brendan helped me. He would always return our calls right away and answer all of our concerns. At times, I would ask him to be more aggressive, but he would advise thats not always the best way to reach an agreement. He worked hard on my case and the end result was just what I needed. So I thank him for that.
Hi I used this firm for child support. At the last minute my case was transferred to someone else within the office. All the things that were discussed with the previous attorney before it was handed off did NOT get communicated to the current attorney. I would say mediocre service. Things I requested like retro active support, wages, etc. was not put into place. Although the team was always professional there was discrepancies with the price of attorney fees. I had different attorneys tell me different prices. If I had to do it over again I would choose a law firm who prioritized my case as a priority even if it is only child support. I am still paying my hard earned money for services. Another thing is that I was not updated regularly, however I would get a called regarding payment monthly and not much was done during the month but maybe a mailing. The monthly fees are expensive and to pay that for only sending a mailing or waiting for a reply from the opposing party should be reviewed. Thank you.
I first saw an add for Buchmiller & Associates on my shopping cart in Marianos. I thought I would give them a call. What a great move! I couldnt of asked for more professionalism, expedited processing & overall just a great group to work with. I was refereed to Brenden and he just executed right away. Well done! I highly recommend! If I have to lawyer up again I will immediately call them first!
Terrible service just straight money hungry tell you everything they can do basically what you wanna hear and achieve nothing at all.
Got my devorse finalized. Love Elizabeth 💘
They are willing to help people there really professionals
John was quick to get back to me after my initial phone call reaching out. I appreciate that. He heard me out, cut to the Chase and did not waste any time. He was able to explain things clearly in a way that I understood. He also provided me help without asking for a fee which stands out!Im very grateful for his help and plan to follow up if I need further assistance.
HI my name is Tonesha White and Elizabeth is assisting my daughter in her battle against her childrens fathers with abduction of her children, attorney Elizabeth step right in with so much compassion as if the children were her own, she has showed professionalism, promptness and always readily available for any questions or concerns!I greatly appreciate all the support she and the firm has provided!KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Brendan was fantastic! Every time I called he picked up or called me back immediately, i was very impressed with the level of service I was given and definitely will recommend John Buchmiller & Associates! Good people / great service !
This firm is seriously the best! I worked with Domenica and she was very helpful, patient, and to the point! She responded quickly and answered every question I had! Definitely the family law firm to go with!
John Buchmiller & Associates were by far the best law firm in Chicago and in the whole country. Corey was amazing!! Couldn’t ask for a better lawyer, he really fought for us, great listener, always a phone call away. Not only, was he our lawyer but our friend who cared so much and wouldn’t stop until justice was served. He was always so positive, always took his time in explaining everything. He was amazing in court! Highly recommend!!!!! Go Corey!!!
Just finished up a parenting plan and child support agreement. Domenica worked on my case. She made herself available to answer all of my questions along the way. Even working from home during Covid. I was very happy with the results and would recommend her to anyone in my situation. Thank you!
Best group to work with! We had the opportunity to host and meet the company. What a team! John and Brendan are such professionals what a delight to work with. I highly recommend!
I had an experience with Elizabith Mavec she was professional and she knows her job very well, she helped me a lot and she answered all my questions and explained everything !I didn’t have much time and I contacted her 1 day before but she accepted me and reviewed everything in short time .Even after our meeting I called her and I have some concerns and she reviewed everything again with me and give some suggestions that really helped me.It was nice & pleasure working with her .
I loved everything about them!!! Patty was amazing and always on top of everything! She was always quick to respond even on the weekend! I would definitely recommend to anyone!! Plus the price was very affordable!!!! Love love love them!!!!!
Wonderful experience working with them on my case. They were very professional and answered all the questions I have.
Words cannot express how indebted we are to helping our owner, Mike Brown, located his beautiful children. Brenden Davis, Esq. is a great attorney who was very passionate about this job and get this...he treated the respondent, the childrens mother, with respect as well. Talk about wanting the best for the client and the children without stirring the pot? An excellent law firm to handle delicate matters of emotion, the heart, children, just great. Thanks again, Brenden.
I am posting this from my musical moniker account but I don’t want this be taken lightly.My son’s mother took him from out of the home we’re living in across state lines to Minnesota while I was at work. I was distraught. Here I met with Brendan Davis after leaving a voicemail. The first attorney and the only attorney that I met with. He reassured me that I was not out of options. He walked me through everything. He worked with my financial situation. He’s the best and I would recommend him and this firm to anyone that is in need of honest lawyer representation in a child custody case. I was only without my son for two weeks. I’ve had him for 10 months. Thank you Brendan.
Beutiful staff and coordination. Took care of paperwork and explained everything in the process. I would email them with questions and they reply within minutes.Definately reccomend
Couldnt ask for a better law firm. Corey was so passionate about our case. You know you have a great lawyer when you get custody and your finally heard by a judge. Our son even loves Corey, he trusts him and knows he will fight for what he wants and needs. Corey didnt stop and was always a phone call away. Very responsive to our needs. Finally found a lawyer that actually cares.
If I could give this firm zero stars I would. I am currently going through a situation where the lives of three children are involved, and I Was looking for representation .Spoke to Brandon on the phone who gave me completely different information from when I spoke on the phone with John. John offered a completely different plan to go to court in two or three weeks and cheaper payment plan while Brandon was claiming it could take a very long time to even get into court AND offered a different rate. John seemed more interested in my case while Brandon seemed bored. The reviews on the internet seemed telling, but immediately this phone call exchange between the two was already sketchy. Nevertheless I decided to meet with John and when I entered the office at their 1 N Lasalle I encountered three things that were unprofessional,1.) there was no receptionist or anyone to sit and greet at the front desk2.) there was paperwork from different clients cases for everyone to see sitting on the desk where you are greeted. That is most likely confidential information, yet they had it strewn all over the desk. Assuming I had to sign in since no one was there I looked over these papers and saw court papers, etc. UNPROFESSIONAL.3.) when Brandon eventually greeted us, we were sent into a room to wait on who we THOUGHT we were going to be talking to. ( keep in mind when we called we spoke to John Buchmiller) instead of meeting with John we met with a young woman who knew nothing about our case and had little experience in the field of family law. We wanted someone with extensive experience in family law as this case is EXTREMELY serious. Then we were told that John is at their other location in LAS VEGAS YET NO ONE INFORMED ME OF THIS, JOHN SPOKE TO ME ON THE PHONE AS IF I WOULD BE MEETING AND DISCUSSING PAYMENT WITH HIM AND WORKING WITH HIM. That itself was misleading.!!!!!!!!!!!! Then Brandon who was at the office proceeded to try and meet with me but explained he only had a couple of minutes to discuss MY CASE since he was taking calls. Only a few minutes !!!!!So on top of the fact that they mislead POTIENTAL CLIENTS THEY ALSO DID NOT HAVE THE TIME TO INVEST. ALSO BRANDON HAD NOTHING TO SAY WHEN I EXPRESSED TO THEM HOW DECEPTIVE AND MISLEADING THIS FIRM ACTIONS ARE! BEWARE OF COMING TO THIS FIRM. THEY ARE MISLEADING BECAREFUL BEFORE YOU SIGN ANY PAPERS REMEMBER THE MAIN LAWYER IS IN LAS VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!***edit***In response to the firms reply, yes you are CORRECT that you have never represented me, WHY would I choose a firm to represent me that has false misleading information? 22 reviews !! Where are all the rest of your client reviews? I notice that you fail to address every other thing I mentioned. A great law firm would acknowledge when its failed to be professional.
Affordable and efficient family-law attorneys, also have free consultation and no hidden fees!
I am blown away by the kindness of this lawyer. He went beyond my expectations. If you need someone that doesnt look at you as $, but someone who really cares, then this is your guy. Thanks again Buch Miller. Words cant express my appreciation. Thank you.
Elizabeth Mavec totally made an unnavigable, untenable personal situation into a layup for me and Buchmiller. Brava.
Patricia was very professional and gives amazing advise highly recommend
Very caring and knowledgable lawyers. Fast responses and always available if questions or issues come up. Corey is top notch!! Reccomend this law firm to all. 5 + stars.
Fake reviews from law firms should be illegal.
I will like to share my experience that i had with attorney Corey Tallent !He is the most understanding and patient and professional attorney that i ever had (i did work with a different attorney from another firm and I wasn’t happy that’s why I started looking and I found Corey)Attorney Corey take his job serious and listen to you carful, he will try his best on your case and always will be there for you giving you the right advice for your case and present your case with so much professionalism at court ! I couldn’t be where I’m today without attorney Corey Tallent help, he saved me and my daughter from an abusive life that me and my daughter was living ! I appreciate a lot his professional job !I wish nobody needs to go at court but life sometimes give us what we don’t expect and at that time we just need help from someone that is professional and love his job and be there for you & working with you for your best ! And Attorney Corey Tallent is the right one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
USA docs referred me to them. The consultation was very unprofessional. I believe this company has alot of beginners on the team.
Very fast and professional Im happy Whit the service
They claim to be a fathers right attorney, but NOT BLACK FATHERS....
If youre looking for a law firm to neglect your case, give you the worst legal advice, only call you to inform you that your monthly payment is due, juggle your case between 2-4 attorneys at a time and hold no one accountable then look no further you found the right place! do yourself a favor and AVOID this firm! youre only an atm to them.
Great variety, Great Taste
Excellent family law attorney. Best in the county.
Very professional team
They seem very caring
First off, when I first needed an attorney I tried these attorneys out because of the great reviews. At first I kept on getting contacted by like 2 or 3 attorneys to try to get me to go with them. Me being young and eager to get some type of documentation for custody of my child, I tried them out. When I went ahead at first, can’t remember the attorney, he seemed very nice and eager to fight my case which made me happy to see someone fight for me. I was told law firms switch attorneys but I didn’t believe it. Until a month later after my first payment, I was contacted by someone else. Don’t want to call out names but said attorney was like entry level. Only reason why I’m leaving a review is because I would have to contact them after court dates to see what happened. I would have to call them to know how court went. Fought for about 6 months and tried to fight more. My attorney said that I’m just wasting my money and to leave things as is. Not really what I wanted but left it as is. He was also suppose to send me info to set up a payment arrangement for me but I never received anything after my last payment. Will definitely be looking for someone else to handle my case. For my first time using an attorney, was not my best experience. Lack of communication, lack of compassion, and a waste of money. Would definitely not use them again or recommend them to anyone. Poor experience.
Thank you very much for your help, lawyer Evelyn Hernandez, you are very kind, you do not charge expensive and you are very good at her job. I recommend her for any family case, she helped me in child support and I am very happy if someone needs help in any of those cases. I recommend it is very honest and he answers the phone every time K. You call him muxas thank you lawyer and happy holidays
