About

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me.  Rest assured, when you retain my services, you will get someone who communicates with you every step of the way.  We live in a fast-paced environment, and I understand how important it is to follow-through on producing high-quality legal services.  When I am not serving my clients needs, I find that I am serving the needs of my family.  I used to be an avid golfer, but I find my free time is now spent with my children.  From coaching my sons' little league baseball teams to serving on the local school board to spending long days at their chess tournaments, I just don't have the time to be out on the golf course.  My golfing buddies will have to wait a little bit longer for me to get back out there.    Being born and bred in Chicago, I have a love-affair with the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, and Chicago Bulls.  You might be surprised to learn that I used to be a beer vendor at Wrigley Field and Comiskey Park.  Those were great times when I was able to work outdoors and enjoy the roar of the crowd.  Honestly, though, my back doesn't miss it as much.  Now that you've learned a little bit about me, I look forward to learning more about you and your legal needs.  Don't hesitate to call me for a free consultation.

We relied on Ben's guidance in buying and selling properties, and were greatly pleased in how he kept us up to date, worked through small problems and helped us to trouble-free closings.

Being new to the home buying experience in Chicago, we were very skeptical and did not understand the complexity of the settling procedures. As representation for us, Ben was very helpful in explaining the standards for purchasing a condo in Chicago and helped us attain the items we needed during the negotiation process. I would certiainly recommend Ben for any real estate representation needs that someone may have

Ben is an amazing attorney that assisted with the sale of our home and was on top of all the requests made by myself and our agent. He handled our sale as if it was the only one with great attention to detail despite the busy time and all the other clients he was dealing with. Will definitely keep him In mind for future needs !! Thank you !

Ben was our attorney for buying our home and selling 2 of our homes. We kept going back to him because we received excellent services from him each time. He was always responsive and get what he needs to do right away. He always gave us valuable advice and helped us through negotiations.

Ben was our real estate attorney during the two-month purchase process of our new home. He was knowledgeable and consistently prompt in responding to questions. He provided solid advice prior to closing when our loan consultant didn't respond. Highly recommended.

I recently worked with Ben and Jude to buy my first condo. I originally had a contract on one condo - which fell through because of financing issues with the building. Ben and Jude worked to get me out of that contract and my earnest money returned to me with no hassle. I then acquired a contract on a second condo, which was a new construction project. The developer had a contract with several questionable provisions, which they tried to negotiate to my favor. One provision, a $100/day penalty for closing after the scheduled date, was not negotiable. However, when I needed more time because of financing delays, they were able to secure an extension, and I did not have to pay the penalty. Overall, Ben and Jude both made me feel at ease during this process. They do not act like "typical" lawyers who huff and puff - they break things down and make it easy to understand without being condescending. I did not purchase a very expensive condo, and despite the relatively low fee that Ben and Jude charged, I never felt as if I were an unimportant client. I would recommend Ben and Jude to anyone, and especially first time homebuyers. It is reassuring to know you have people in your corner!

I used Ben for the purchase of my first condo. He was very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful throughout the process. When some issue came up from the seller side, Ben was very proactive and willing to go extra miles to get things done on time. I will continue to use his service and I would like to recommend Ben to my colleagues/friends who are also looking to buy their first home.
