Hale & Monico, LLC

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.

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.

I met with John Chwarzynski Jr. from the Hale & Monico Law Firm to discuss my case. I found him very knowledgeable. He took the time to really listen. I knew he would protect my rights. He was very professional and made sure I understood the process. I think John went above and beyond. I would highly recommend John and the law firm. Thank you so much, Karen Socha

John Chwarzynski handled a personal injury matter for me in the past. He was incredibly helpful and always provided valuable insight. The result he obtained for me on my case was over 10x the insurance companies first offer. John is the best! I highly recommend his services!

Words can't express how happy I am to have found John. Just when thinking the fight to free an innocent man was over I found confidence in John. From the moment I met him and told him about the case he was ready and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. What other lawyers have been working on for years, John has completed in weeks! He is always there day and night answering questions and always keeping you informed. He is never afraid to fight for what he believes in. When searching for a criminal defense lawyer it doesn't get any better than John.
