Jaquays and Ellis Attorneys At Law Profile & Reviews

Looking for Resolution? Look elsewhere. With an office across from the courthouse, it is my personal experience that Mr. Jaquays finds it too convenient to litigate, instead of work toward settlement. My case has been in the Will County family court system for 8 years POST-Divorce!! It is my opinion that this case has been kept in court due largely to his appetite for billable hours, fed by a contentious ex. He doesn’t stop there. Mr. Jaquays has also served motions on his own client (the ex) threatening to file liens pursuing payment for his considerable fees on two separate occasions. This tactic is effective, and a well-documented practice of this firm. So, be aware that should you not pay up as agreed, you may be litigated against by your own attorney. For my family, his involvement in this case has significantly contributed to a recipe for disastrous financial fallout all-around. Of course, it’s not all his fault, he’s just following orders, one assumes. He is a capable professional (although I have questioned his choice in ties). But at some point there should be a logical, ethical end to pointless litigation. Not here. There are more compassionate, ethical attorneys who can litigate as effectively, or better. (Although he has a reputation as a formidable litigator, we won our case against him.) Bottom line: Part of the responsibility as an attorney is to advise clients when to call it a day. That won’t happen with this attorney, unless/until you’re completely out of money. I would urge you to consider these excellent attorneys, instead: Mr. Paul Braun – Homewood; Mr. James Teich – Chicago; Ms. Carol Barry – Orland Park. I would hate for what has happened with my case to happen to ANYONE else. Respectfully submitted. PostScript – Wow. 2022! SIX YEARS after sharing my experience, this “Firm” decides to post a reply to my review with a haughty, generic cut-and-pasted response. (…Basically identical feedback for all the other negative reviews.) That honestly says so much about how this Practice operates. I’m pretty sure astute individuals can appreciate the lack of authenticity therein. Well-wishes appreciated and aside, I’m grateful that my next chapter started in 2011 when we won our case. And despite the 3 Post-Divorce Appeals this firm filed, embroiling my family in the courts for nearly a decade post-divorce, I’m good now. It’s taken quite awhile to recover from the exponential fallout resulting from my ex’s devastating decision to retain this firm. I wasn’t going to bother responding to this ‘sudden’ knee-jerk response to my still-heartfelt review, since this was so long ago… But, I sincerely pity the folks who have to wade through the toxic waters of Will County family court–especially if they are anchored to this Outfit. (One just needs to google some of this Office’s court cases to find other atrocities, even more circus-like and catastrophic than mine.) Divorce is difficult enough. My fervent wish is that all who happen to be going through this tough chapter, take note. Do thorough research. Find competent counsel with some conscience. It IS possible. The beneficieries of my best wishes are the individuals who may happen across these words, who are struggling and seeking to find real help. Hang in there, folks. This too shall pass! (…and keep movin’).

Please do not hire Mr. Jaquays to represent you in a divorce case. In my case, he proved himself to be a poor communicator and a heartless person, who actually provided only mediocre legal representation. His office did their best work when billing me for services. The last thing anyone needs during a difficult time is a mean lawyer. Stay far away.

Best service I’ve ever had from any attorney! The right choice is 100% Nathaniel Tate for your new Attounrey !
