Agnes is a very sharp individual. Agnes will deliver news to you when there is news to deliver. Agnes works hard and so does her team. Agnes does a good job explaining the process of how your case will go and then explains what/when things happen in a realistic way.

Agnes and Haley Laird did a great job representing me through my uncontested divorce. They educated me through the entire process, provided timely updates and responses to my questions, and ensured I had all important information and documents from start to finish. It was a pleasure working with them. Highly recommend!

This attorney is a real deal. Hire her immediately. Hats-off to Agnes for her dedication, persistence, punctuality and most importantly strong ethics. My OC unfortunately turned out to be litigious with countless motions, subpoena, and depositions. Agnes, however, maintained her calm and focused on what was most important – getting the judgement as per law which is precisely what I had hoped for – not to escalate these matters needlessly from our side. I saw this attorney replying to my emails on odd hours and on weekends. When I read all the positive reviews before engaging her, I did not believe. But it’s all true. I never had to worry about my case a bit. At the end, when we appeared in front of the Judge, I knew that Agnes will represent me. This lawyer walks the talk. There are many good lawyers on the Clark Street. But this attorney stands tower high above all. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this attorney to anyone who is going through a painful legal process.

I was very happy that I find Agnes and hire her. Before her I had another layer who only take money and did almost nothing. Since I hired Agnes I know that my divorce will go smoothly. She answers all my questions and concerns. Informed me about every step in the process, answers my emails the same day. Send me bills showing where the money I paid goes. She also speaks polish so it was easier for me. I definitely recommend her. Very nice person and very professional layer.

Agnes Olechno guided me through my divorce which I consider, emotionally, the most difficult time of my life. She helped me understand my options and held me by the hand when I felt lost. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely care about the outcome for you and your kids, I cannot recommend Agnes enough!

My husband and I hired Agnes when he had to go back to court for custody of his two children. We worked with Agnes for a little over 3 years. Although there were upside and downs throughout the case she never suggested giving up. Instead she always managed to find a new way to approach the case and ultimately we ended up with both children living with us full time. She was always available when we had questions and her fees were very reasonable. At the end of the case it felt like walking away from a friend not just an attorney who was handling my case. I would, and have, recommended her services without reservations.

Agnes represented my interests with very active listening skills and an empathetic style. She provided thoughtful counsel and was an advocate for dignity of the client. Her approach was pragmatic, yet always considered my best interests.
