Hale & Monico Law Firm performed exceptionally well on our family case. Attorneys Brian Hale and Shawn Barnett displayed utmost professionalism, securing a decisive verdict in our favor. Their responsiveness and thoroughness in addressing our inquiries underscored their dedication and expertise. I would not hesitate to engage their services again if the need arises.
Needed hell with a case and when I called to see they could take it didn't call and get all the information or anything just wasted my time when I called that could have been said instead of waiting until the end of the Week just to tell email with the recommendation definitely wouldn't recommend to anybody

Contacted these attorneys for a case that was contingency based. They wanted to take the case. I was given a contingency contract with them, but after looking over the contract I noticed it was written so that they can receive more than the 33% required by law in the state of Illinois under their "reasonable fee's". Went back and forth with them for several days, over a week of wasted time. I even said that I would increase it to 40% total of the settlement, however that wasn't good enough for them. This just showed me that this law firm is most likely after settling and taking all of the settlement in "fee's" to themselves and not at all making sure their client is properly compensated. They even tried to change their contract from a contingency to a fee based if I didn't want to agree to settle in their contract at one point. Read reviews. Someone has already stated they have been dodging them for their settlement. Any attorney trying to have open ended "fee's" with no cap is a huge red flag. After all the wasted time they didn't even bother to give me a recommendation. I do not recommend this attorney. Read contracts carefully.

How rude I have spoken to several people between number for justice center in Peoria Illinois and Chicago. Left name of attorney for mr hale to please call. Betting hope reason is he never got message. Nor have I been called back from Mr Hale. I will not talk. He needs to please contact the attorney whose name and number was left. Professional courtesy. As for justice center please a zoom appointment after with an attorney. First attorney needs to speak .

We were referred to Ms. O’Connor of Hale & Monica during a very difficult time. She immediately responded to our needs and treated us with empathy and respect during a trying time. Ms. O’Connor was thorough and effective with our case. She exercised professionalism during a sensitive matter. She worked tirelessly, even on weekends and late nights putting together our response. Although she was empathetic with us, she was energetic and effective with the opposing party. Thank you Ms. O’Connor for all of your hard work, care and attention.
