About
My Practice: My primary areas of concentration are estate planning, transactional law, and real estate. I also have extensive experience in business succession, not-for-profit law, and legal issues concerning church ministry. I endeavor to practice law in a way that honors my Christian faith. I strive to provide not only the best legal advice, but I also care about my clients on a personal level. My background also includes biblical counseling and financial consulting based on biblical principles. I welcome phone calls from all areas of legal and non-legal concerns and am open to helping those in need when it is possible for me to do so. While my practice is Christ-centered and spiritually-led, I believe diversity provides opportunities for education and growth and as such, work with clients from backgrounds different than my own. I believe in transparency and integrity in all aspects of my professional and personal life. While I know that Avvo provides data regarding my professional background, I welcome you to review my profile at the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois. Should you wish to connect with me on social media, I am active on the following sites:Facebook, Linked In, and Twitter (links in Contact Info section above)Experience:Over the years, I have honed my skills as an attorney in three distinct areas of concentration: estate planning, transactional law, and real estate. Estate planning includes the preparation of wills, trusts, family planning, business succession, and strategies to minimize potential tax liability. Transactional law includes the starting, maintaining, selling and purchasing of all types of business entities. Advising on corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships is part of my representation. Real estate includes the buying and selling of residential and commercial property as well as the drafting and review of leases. Education:I graduated from Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska, in the Spring of 1989, with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration concentrating in Finance and Marketing. I then went on to Thomas M. Cooley Law School and received my Juris Doctorate Degree, with Honors, in the area of Sales and Negotiable Instruments, in 1993.Personal:I am a member of Harvest Bible Chapel and attend the Rolling Meadows campus. I am a supporter of Christian education. My goals are to acknowledge the Lord in everything I do and to use the gifts He has equipped me with to serve Him.If my approach and background seem to suit your legal needs, please call me at: (847)423-8047 or e-mail me at: [email protected]. I’m happy to set up a free, no obligation, telephone or office consultation. After our initial consultation, if I don’t feel I have the experience to best represent you, I will do my best to provide a referral to another attorney whose areas of expertise are better suited to meet your needs.

We use Chris Nudo for all of our real estate transactions. We find him very professional, responsive, and always provided us high-quality service. I would recommend Chris to anyone in need of legal services. -Robert
My Wife and I hired Chris for our estate planning and we got more than we asked for. His advice was extremely genuine and he tailored all his advice towards our beliefs. We are also thrilled with his assistant Martel who's been so good with communication, answering all of our quick questions and so sweet. They moved promptly and with precision. We'd highly recommend hiring Chris Nudo and team for estate planning.
Chris was thoughtful and answered all of our questions. His work was done correctly the first time. It was a pleasure to work with him and his staff.
I was referred to Christopher By my primary lawyer on a very specific legal mater of a Trust. Christopher actually picked up the phone when I called him. Christopher actually listened to my legal matter patiently and asked a few questions to clarify. He gave me good legal advice suggested what I might do next and gave me options which is exactly what I was looking for. I would absolutely use Christopher again for timely, sound legal advice.
Chris has the knowledge and experience dealing with realestate for long time and it shows with his guidance. His feedback was very valuable.
Chris is easy to work with and extremely trustworthy. He made the process easy and he is reasonably priced.
Chris did an excellent job on our estate plan. He explained the process in simple terms and was available to answer questions along the way.
Christopher has represented myself and the companies I work with for many years. He has always been extremely diligent and wise in his research and counsel.
We hired Chris Nudo as our lawyer for our selling and buying a home process, as many know this process can be quite stressful and take very many different turns along the way, our case was no different, we definitely went for a roller coaster ride on this one. From the beginning Chris was there for us at any point in time, to call text or email with any questions and was very quick in his responses to ensure that we were well informed and in great hands, and up until closing day everything seemed to be going very smoothly. I say seemed to be because on closing day the roller coaster ride began. We were selling a home and buying a home at the same time and in order for us to put our down payment for the new home, the old home needed to sell first. So 9am Saturday morning was suppose to be the closing on the old home, (and 11am the closing on our new home) we had already signed all our papers for it so we didn't need to be present for the sale but Chris was there for us. Then the roller coaster began, the couple buying our house was from another state and their mortgage company was based there as well, they were suppose to send all the proper closing docs the previous night but somehow managed to forget to send them or they got lost in the process somewhere and nobody at that office was in yet, as they are in a different time zone and we couldn't get a hold of them, so the waiting began. Then when they finally opened, the buyers mortgage broker who was suppose to send the docs was gone out of the office on vacation so no one could get a hold of him to find out where the docs had gone, or how we could get them. This ensured that our closing on the new house was going to be affected and pushed back which also caused the people we were buying from, who were suppose to leave for Arizona that day, to be delayed in their efforts as well. We were also planning on moving all our stuff into the new house that day as we had to return the rental truck. It felt like the twilight zone, we didn't know what to do or what was going to happen next and there really wasn't anything we could do, accept wait. Chris proceeded to take us out to lunch and talk to us to try and relieve some of our stress and worry and ensure that he was going to do everything he could to make sure this sale and purchase happened and all the terrible "what ifs" that seemed so likely now weren't going to happen. We then proceeded to go and figure out what we were going to do with our truck full of all our stuff as it seemed the next possibility of us getting our house, at the very best, wasn't going to be until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest and Chris went to work. Chris stayed in contact with us over the next several hours keeping us updated on what was happened and being honest as to the most likely options and results but kept ensuring us that hes doing all he can. He worked from lunch until about 6pm tirelessly trying to make this happen for us even though at this point, being so late, it seemed impossible that it was going to happen that day. To our amazement we received a phone call from Chris around 530pm telling us to meet at the closing office and that the funds from the buyer of our house had finally come through and we have officially sold our old house and bought our new one. We were then able to get our keys for the new house that night! Between Chris, our real estate agent, and the people at the closing office (that Chris had persuaded to keep working even though it was far beyond time to go home) they somehow pulled off a miracle and made it happen for us. Chris Nudo went far above and beyond working tirelessly for us to pull off the impossible and ensure that we were able to get into our new home that Saturday! We are 100% sure that if we hadn't hired Chris we never would have gotten into our new home on that day and possibly the whole thing could have fallen apart.
Chris is our business and personal family lawyer. Chris displays extreme work ethics, integrity, a man above reproach. Chris communicates at an understandable level, simplifying terms. Chris is a true advocate for our company, an integral part of our advisory team, and fortunately I can continue running the business without concern for putting the company in jeopardy because Chris is on retainer. We’ve been in business for many years and finally feel we have a lawyer who will work on our behalf. I never hesitate to run something past Chris because his advice is vital to our success and protection. Just in the last couple of months he has completed a trust on my behalf, is working on leasing agreement terms that are fair to both parties, an employment agreement, sales rep agreement. He has had plenty of opportunity to prove himself and has to the utmost. There have been no surprises after the fact. I highly recommend Chris.
