I am usually not into writing reviews. But I felt like a job well done deserves appreciation and this is the best way to do it ! I reached out to Brad when I figured that my previous attorney was goofing around with my case and no progress was made after months expect my wallet was draining. My ex and opposing counsel was coming up all kind of false narratives to influence the court, keeping my son away from me, mentally torturing me in all possible ways and dragging the case to no end. I needed someone to understand the situation, listen to me and save me out of the deep hole I was in, get a GAL appointed and move the case forward. I did lots of online research to make sure I pick the right attorney and one of the reason that I picked Brad Bennett is when I spoke with him the first time, I could see the friend in him. You can find many attorneys, but if they understand you like your family and friends, support you when things go crazy and guide you in the right direction, then the divorce journey would be much easier and that's my story! Immediately after Brad represented me in the court, we got a GAL appointed. During the process, my ex and opposing counsel tried to influence the GAL with false narratives and drama. But under the expert guidance of Brad and his team I was able to prove my arguments establish equal parenting rights for my son and establish a decent allocation judgment. Mine was a very complicated case with the entire world falling for the false stage set by my ex and standing against me. Adding to the complexity was the foreign assets back in India and the assets my ex was hiding from disclosing, fake documentations produced by my ex and her counsel that were submitted to the court thinking the attorneys in US won't know the Indian law and system. It needed the knowledge, skill and a great deal of patience of a well experienced attorney and team to navigate the various challenges that came our way. Brad's team including Sarah Casey and Cassie Roberts took up the challenge, learned a lot about the Indian law, culture and how things work there in regards to marital assets, bank accounts etc. and was able to use this knowledge and information during the trial to expose the opposing counsel. My case went on for 2 and half years with a trial that lasted around 7 days! At the end of the trial, we exposed all the false claims made by my ex and her counsel, all the assets she was hiding got exposed and accounted for. One thing you always hear is trials are risky and expensive. When you know you are right and you got the right team representing you in the court, it's worth taking the risk and stand up for your loved ones. At the end, our Judge literally entered almost our entire proposed Judgment utterly ignoring opposing counsels'! At Bennett Law, one would find a very skilled, knowledgeable, flexible, composed and friendly team with exceptional communication, people, research, analytical and judgmental skills. Their creativity, dedication, competitiveness goes above and beyond expectation. They are always available for you when you need them and they support you like a friend through out the process. I am happy and proud that Brad and his team represented me in my case and I highly recommend them! A big shout-out to Brad Bennett, Sarah Casey, Cassie Roberts !

Brad is an excellent attorney who is very intelligent and well versed in the law. He is very articulate whether in the divorce trial-court, discussions with the GAL, or in private conversations as we tailored our approach to my priorities. He is an excellent communicator both in his written documents and during conversations. He was always forcefully striving to get the best outcome for me and my children by determining the best approach and exploring creative options. His sincere and focused efforts were integral in the court’s decision to grant me as the primary residential parent for my kids. Brad is an exceptional and gifted lawyer. My case was very contentious and filled with many distractions and accusations from the OC. Brad remained calm, focused, and strategic. He is not only highly intelligent but also is sympathetic and absolutely focused on getting the best outcome for me. He is patient, compassionate, and thorough in what he does and presents. I had interacted with many lawyers during my divorce process, but Brad is clearly set apart from them. He is very knowledgeable, hard-working, and thoughtful. There is every reason why he is a Rising Star. I would highly recommend Brad, in fact, I can not recommend him highly enough while going through such a difficult and heart-wrenching experience as a divorce.

Brad performed a review of a prenuptial agreement that had already been structured and had little room for flexibility. Despite the constraints imposed by the agreement, Brad provided invaluable insights on improving the structure of the agreement, helped identify and remove excessively punitive clauses, and was able to make several recommendations to clarify language and circular references that were ultimately accepted by opposing counsel. Brad was extremely professional in his demeanor toward my fiance’s family’s requests, in his responses to my requests, and in his overall handling of the case. Brad took the time to help me understand the legal jargon and gave me peace of mind that I was protected throughout this sensitive process. He was readily available via email or phone, despite having trials and other open cases, and he made arrangements to meet in person upon request within just a couple business days. Reasonable retainer fee for services compared against several other firms in the Loop. Highly recommended for anyone needing counsel to sign a prenup.

I first met Brad in September 2012 when I was initially contemplating a divorce. Our initial consultation was to help educate me on the whole divorce process and to discuss several delicate topics I had some concerns about how to handle. After our initial meeting, I knew I did not have to interview other lawyers to find a more knowledgeable or committed, strategic advisor to help me through an overcomplicated legal process. Several years later, when my divorce was inevitable, Brad was able to pick up where we left off and then lead the way to a very favorable outcome. Brad was able to secure the exact parenting schedule that I wanted, he was able to negotiate an excellent modified maintenance agreement, and he successfully defended several legal motions against me. While I could continue to review my interactions with Brad, I would be remiss if I did not include the Bennett and Bangser professional support staff. The whole team kept me updated regularly on what was happening, they organized all the paperwork, and kept me on schedule with what I needed to do next. They were always available to me, including after-hours and weekends! Brad and his team removed a lot of the stress and strain of a difficult divorce process and allowed me to focus more on what is important to me: my kids and our future.

Brad went beyond the call of duty in representing me regarding custody and child support issues for my two year old son.  Due to my ex partner's irrational behavior and misguided attempt to represent himself there were many roadblocks during the case including police involvement, unsuccessful mediation and an assigned guardian ad litem.  During this process Brad was always within reach to offer his advice and counsel.  He was also present during the final meeting regarding the Allocation Judgement, and was instrumental in facilitating a favorable outcome for me.  It was a long and grueling process, but Brad was there every step of the way giving me advice as to how to proceed. After finally going to trial, I was awarded more than statutory child support, in addition to 50% of childcare and other expenses.  I firmly believe this outcome was solely due to Brad's persistence and insightful handling of my case.  I am so thankful to him, and know that I would not have received this outcome without his representation. 

Brad is very a dedicated and committed attorney who focuses strongly on achieving the best possible results for his client. Brad represented me through my challenging divorce and was always on top of all the complicated details. Brad was very responsive and provided positive solutions to issues that came up through the divorce process. Brad is resilient and a true leader who worked with me every step of the way. Thanks to Brad, the outcome of my divorce was very favorable for me, including a favorable settlement and a creative parenting schedule for my pets. I highly recommend Brad to get the job done in the best interest of his client!

Marc and Brad have worked as a team to address post-divorce issues for me for the past several years. They make a great team as they balance each other's strengths/weaknesses to ensure all options are reviewed/explored. They have both helped me keep things in perspective as well-there are times during proceedings where one can loose focus-but they are willing to have those difficult conversations with their clients to ensure their clients expressed priorities remain at the forefront of focus. I recommend them for any one dealing with divorce/family law issues.

I remember the first email I made to the Bennett & Bangser Law Group regarding setting up an appointment for a consultation. Like many of you I blindly searched for online reviews, selected the three highest rated firms and sent out blind emails… This was at 6:30AM. I was impressed when I received a reply by 7:00AM. This wasn’t an automated reply. Rather, it was Brad Bennett reaching out to set up our initial consultation. We spoke immediately thereafter and I explained to Brad that I was about to get married. As my fiancé and I were both successful executives, we were interested in a very balanced prenuptial agreement. And, our wedding was in 30 days… We met the following day and after Brad made it a point to walk me around and introduce me to his Law Partner and the B&B staff we settled in for our initial discussions. I was impressed by his knowledge of every aspect of marital law, and in particular, his knowledge of the pending & potential changes in the Illinois statutes. This expertise was very relevant as we entered negotiations with my fiancé and her attorney. His experience, having focused on family law throughout his career, was instrumental in getting to a reasonable and realistically executable agreement -- all while helping maintain relationship harmony as our wedding date was fast approaching. Brad took the lead and drafted, redrafted and negotiated some creative solutions balancing both our needs to get the Premarital Agreement done. I was very happy with the final agreement reached in the 11th hour – yes, we signed our agreement the day before our wedding! Throughout the entire process, I was kept well informed. Brad and I communicated via email, text and phone calls at all hours due to my hectic travel schedule. He maintained the highest level of availability to answer my questions -- both from a legal point of view, as well as identifying what was realistic and practical – he too remained focused on getting this done. I will gladly recommend Brad and his law firm to represent any of my friends and family in need of an excellent and highly responsive family attorney.

When looking for an attorney I needed someone that would have my back, guide me through the maze of legal documents to ensure I was protected, and be available on demand to quickly resolve any issues. Brad did all of these things and more. Not only was he able to ensure I kept my marital property, but also the marital car, sole custody of the children, child support even if my ex wasn’t working, and protected me when my ex’s attorney withdrew. He was not only my attorney but my friend. Thank you Brad and Marc for being there for me when I needed you the most!

Let’s be reasonable, if you are hiring an attorney, it’s probably not for a good and exciting reason. However, if you hire the right one (Brad Bennett) you are certainly in good hands. This attorney truly understands that clients work hard and have a family to support and a life to live; he is not one of your typical attorneys. He is a genuine and professional subject matter expert of the Chicago-land area and will fight with you every step of the way. There is a reason why he is the Illinois Super Lawyers "Rising Star" for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, & 2016 and the Illinois Leading Lawyers "Emerging Lawyer" for the year 2015 as well as the NATIONAL Advocates Top 100 Matrimonial & Family Lawyer for the year 2015. A man of such integrity and initiative to not only get what you want as a client but to see through the opposing counsel and achieve matters that only benefits his clients. I, personally, wanted to simply be defensive to the petitions raised against me, however, with the help of Brad, I was able to respond back to my petitions aggressively -and- with a “Structured Parental Visitation Agreement” that was not in my original divorce decree. Picture Brad Bennett walking into court and all other attorneys tucking their tails between their legs; his aggressive demeanor, overwhelming focus, and tactics do just that. I couldn’t be any happier with my decision to hire Brad. WANT TO WIN THE FIGHT? .....HIRE RIGHT!

Let’s be reasonable, if you are hiring an attorney, it’s probably not for a good and exciting reason. However, if you hire the right one (Brad Bennett) you are certainly in good hands. This attorney truly understands that clients work hard and have a family to support and a life to live; he is not one of your typical attorneys. He is a genuine and professional subject matter expert of the Chicago-land area and will fight with you every step of the way. There is a reason why he is the Illinois Super Lawyers "Rising Star" for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, & 2016 and the Illinois Leading Lawyers "Emerging Lawyer" for the year 2015 as well as the NATIONAL Advocates Top 100 Matrimonial & Family Lawyer for the year 2015. A man of such integrity and initiative to not only get what you want as a client but to see through the opposing counsel and achieve matters that only benefits his clients. I, personally, wanted to simply be defensive to the petitions raised against me, however, with the help of Brad, I was able to respond back to my petitions aggressively -and- with a “Structured Parental Visitation Agreement” that was not in my original divorce decree. Picture Brad Bennett walking into court and all other attorneys tucking their tails between their legs; his aggressive demeanor, overwhelming focus, and tactics do just that. I couldn’t be any happier with my decision to hire Brad. WANT TO WIN THE FIGHT? .....HIRE RIGHT!
