Your website says this firm is client-centered and relationship-based. Unfortunately I did not received this experience on my case. The communication from my lawyer was absolutely terrible. Extremely lazy with collecting necessary documents needed for my case. I was not expecting such a lackluster work ethic and terrible experience from a law firm in Wheaton. I would not recommend Huck Bouma’s Wheaton law firm to anyone.
Gina was extremely diligent and helpful in a difficult situation. I would recomend her for all life estate planning needs.

Steer clear of this firm! Don’t use. They took my retainer after review of my case and failed to help in any manner. The communication with Eric was distant and non engaging, he was happy to accept terms and then quickly shifted hurting me as a client in many ways thereafter - his attitude towards his client was very unprofessional and he was very rude. It was the worst choice to trust them and I cannot recommend this firm for anything contract, IP, or any services in which it’s going to take diligence and effort to facilitate.

Communication (positive)Semi-PersonalizedSentiment: positiveGeneric ReviewLikely Client Experience
Let me start by honestly saying I never leave bad reviews as I don't believe in it but our experience with this law firm justifies it. Our mom passed away in November and we were referred to this firm by the attorney that originally created her will. The attorney and assistant both misspelled our moms name even after being corrected multiple times, which I found disrespectful but we moved on. We had a preliminary phone conversation to discuss how the probate process would play out. At no point did we discuss a fee schedule or sign anything related to that, so it was assumed this was a complimentary phone call and we would discuss the overall fee of the case at a later point. After the phone call we were unable to get a hold of the attorney even though we reached out several times via phone and email. After three weeks I sent an email out of respect letting them know we would be finding a different attorney to work with as they had obviously not taken on the matter. Of course at this point they responded, attempting to blame us for the lack of correspondence, which is completely false. Fast forward to now and we receive a bill from the law firm... with both my mom's first and last name misspelled. Disrespectful and dishonest behavior across the board during an incredibly difficult time
Owner response

We would like the opportunity to address this and find a resolution. Please contact us directly at 630-221-1755. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. <br><br>Best,<br>Huck Bouma Team
Huck Bouma's strength lies in the manner in which they communicate. If someone was not improperly treated by an attorney handling your Mother's estate after she passed away..

I reached out to this law firm over a week ago regarding estate planning and left a voicemail but never received a return call. I followed up with a second phone call and spoke with someone who told me they would be emailing me the necessary paperwork, but I never received anything or any follow-up communication.
I understand that firms can get busy, but not returning calls or following up after saying paperwork would be sent is simply rude and unprofessional. Communication is a basic expectation, especially when dealing with something as important as estate planning. Based on my experience, I was very disappointed with the lack of responsiveness.
If you are looking for a competent attorney, keep looking. My father's probate case took much longer than it should have due to their mistakes. We were given lame excuses, even blaming the court system! Do not use this law office.
