When Attorney Ken Apicella stepped in on my earlier case against Chicago Public Schools, his presence changed everything. From the moment he filed his appearance, he brought order and discipline to a process that CPS had been dragging out for years. He secured sanctions against them and made sure the judge held CPS to filing deadlines, court orders, and accountability when they tried to delay and obstruct.
What impressed me most was his firm yet strategic approach. He was not intimidated by CPS’s tactics and made sure the court stayed focused on the facts and the rules. His ability to cut through the noise and demand fairness left a lasting impression on me. Ken was effective, decisive, and unwavering in his advocacy.
Because of how he handled my case during that critical period, I will never forget the professionalism and strength he demonstrated. I continue to hold him in the highest regard and would recommend him to anyone facing a powerful opponent who thinks they are above accountability.

I had an outstanding experience with Ken Apicella, an employment lawyer whose legal acumen and negotiating skills transformed what began as a modest settlement offer into an outcome worth multiple times the original proposal. From our first meeting, Ken instilled immediate confidence as he navigated the complexities of my case with precision and strategy. His calm and focused approach ensured every detail was addressed. Furthermore, he kept me in the loop and well informed every step of the way.
Without hesitation or reservation, I absolutely recommend Ken Apicella to anyone in need of legal counsel. He is an absolute game-changer and delivered results that far exceed expectations.
Colin and team made our home purchasing transaction very easy. They were very helpful in answering our questions as new home buyers. I would highly recommend them.
I hired Ken Apicella to support me regarding a financial dispute. Ken eagerly informed me that his fee for this service was $2,500. I paid him in full immediately, he did a great job convincing me that he would fight for me. As time goes by I found it to be impossible to get Ken to simply return my phone calls, leaving me in the dark on what was actually happening in my time sensitive case. When I did finally succeed in making contact with Ken, he presented a nonchalant, uninterested dialogue. I called and left several voicemails inquiring as to why Ken has decided not to follow through with providing the service that I paid for. I am still unaware due to the fact that Ken refuses to return my calls. I understand why comics criticize lawyers after soliciting Ken Apicella! NEVER AGAIN!!
I’ve had the privilege of working with Ken Apicella on a few manners. One in particular involved collecting a large commission from a former employer. When I brought the case to him I considered it a long shot and had managed my expectations accordingly. I am certain that my case was a small matter compared to most cases he works on, but his dedication, attention to detail and the final result exceeded my expectations. I can’t say enough about Kens professionalism and commitment to insure that I was made whole. I tend to be cautious about referrals, but I would gladly recommend him to a friend or acquaintance without reservation.
Ken is a very compassionate, patient, and understanding person... not just an attorney. Ken took a personal interest in my case and went above and beyond. Ken is straightforward to get a hold of and will return your call asap. He can make things very easy to understand in layman's terms. Take advantage of his abilities!!
Ken Apicella has been nothing but the most diligent, honest and compassionate attorney to myself and my family. His diligent work ethic, his honest perspective and his prompt response has meant more to us than we could ever say. Anyone that is in the very difficult situation of dealing with civil litigation should defiantly consider retaining Ken Apicella as their attorney.
Ken is by far one of the most efficient and passionate attorneys we have ever met. We have done a lot of business with him not only because of his knowledge but his honesty. I can assure you Ken and his team are who you want to call whenever you need legal advice.
