About

I am a life-long Joliet resident, married, the father of two young daughters and the son of two lawyers with whom I practice law. Drawing on their experiences and my 18 years of practicing law, I can often bring a perspective to cases that many attorneys do not. Basically, I think of myself as an "old school" attorney - one more interested in fighting the cases that have real issues in them and working hard to settle the cases where either there are slim chances of success or the cost of winning doesn't justify full-blown litigation.Abraham Lincoln understood that compromise is necessary in certain circumstances.  "Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can," he wrote in a lecture for lawyers.  "Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser--in fees, and expenses, and waste of time."I love that quote because the real job of any professional is to tell you the truth and assess your situation - not simply tell you what you want to hear.  I often advise clients that "lawyers make more money when clients fight" and we make much less when they settle. A good lawyer will help you tell the difference so that your best interests are served - not theirs. Divorces in particular are prone to emotional decisions. These emotions can cloud judgment and prevent settlement. Of course there will always be cases that need to be litigated aggressively. I am prepared for difficult cases and fight hard for my client's rights in those instances. I am also invested in my community serving as the past President of Troy Consolidated School District School Board and current board member for the Guardian Angel Community Services of Will County and I actively volunteer my time with the Will County Legal Assistance Program and Pro Bono Program.

Mr. Andreano helped me win a very long running, ugly divorce. He was knowledgeable, responded quickly, and very personable. I couldn't have asked for a better experience in this situation. My money was well spent and I am VERY satisfied. I highly recommend him.

Tony is simply the full package. I found his billing extremely FAIR and accurate. He's not out to run up your bill like most lawyers, he's there to get the job done. When it comes to getting the job done, he is extremely smart, experienced, and strategic. All in all, you're going to get a fair judgment at a fair expense. That is all I wanted, and it is exactly what I got. I am so thankful I found Tony and he was able to help me in my divorce case.

He assisted my husband and I on a family case. He is very knowledgable and familiar with the Will County courthouse and judges. Very pleased with his work!

Randy - Jan 17, 2012 Tony Andreano is the best….. After being served divorce papers while working in another state, I researched Joliet divorce attorneys in Joliet. I needed to find an attorney that was competent, fair and within my budget since I wasn’t working. Furthermore, I’d had two other matters for which I retained legal counsel and wasn’t at all satisfied with the outcome or the costs. After looking at mixed reviews for attorneys that had solicited me and a number of those I found online, I came across Andreano and Lyons. Before even reading the reviews, I was impressed in that there were 5 reviews all rated five stars. Each review shared at least one or two characteristics in common – Tony Andreano’s fees are affordable and he is a professional who knows the law. As long as you are honest with him and give him all the facts, he will get the job done in the most expeditious and economical manner possible. He’s an extremely likeable and knowledgeable attorney. I now have retained him for a misdemeanor that I would like expunged from my record. If I have the need for counsel on any legal matter in the future, I will always now go to Tony first. If it is an area of law he does not practice, I would trust whoever he refers to me. He is a man of impeccable character and a true professional. In addition, he has the ability to put you at ease and explain your rights and best course of action in easily understood terms. Finally, the man is very thorough. He does not miss anything and will fight to protect your best interests 110%. I would recommend him to anyone without question with complete confidence they would end up as satisfied as I was with his services.

My case was one of those that take you to court almost every week, like a nightmare. My attorney was always there prepared, and his expertise really made a huge difference in the outcome. After 9 days of trial, he won my case. He is very professional, trustworthy and he will fight for your rights.

Anthony Andreano has been our family attorney for over 10 years. We have been extremely pleased with his repspresentation and highly recommend him. Over the years, Tony has represented us in several real estate transactions and several traffic tickets. We have continued to retain Tony as our attorney because he is professional, works very hard and always provided us with answers to our questions in a very timely manner. Additionally, Tony's fees were more than reasonable and we continue to refer our friends to him.

I had a hard time finding a will county divorce lawyer who would handle my uncontested divorce but Mr. Andreano was a real find - he completed the divorce papers in a week and within 2 months it was all over. Thanks for the freedom!

Anthony stands out in the lawyer business, because he has a heart. He took up our seemingly hopeless cause and gain time and information for us, which helped us in the long run battle against one of the biggest and worst predators in the State of Illinois. Anthony is our first choice for any legal work we need and we would trust him with our family issues and the things most improtant to us.

Lawyer really worked hard to get the case done and returned all my calls directly (sometime as day later). Kept to the agreed fee. Nice person too. Thanks!
