I hired Mr Tedone to handle a simple traffic ticket for my 20 year old son. I simply looked up traffic attorneys in the Joliet area and picked his firm, well I am glad I did. it was a Friday night and he returned and email after I had just put in request to contact on the firms web site. I couldn't believe he was contacting me after hours and on the weekend. I knew I had made a good choice. He walked us through the process and what to expect and made sure that I as a father and my son as a nervous young man, knew he had our backs. The wait for our turn at the bench was over 3 hours and Mr Tedone and an associate were there in the court room with us the whole time. Not what I was expecting. Believe I have found an attorney that I will NOT hesitate to call upon again if ever needed.

I hired Cosmo to represent my son during a difficult time. Young kid, bad decisions. He took the time to explain everything that was going to happen in detail. His empathy was apparent. He genuinely cares about his clients. It was an long process (as the court system is) but he was there every step of the way. In the end he was able to do what he set out to and help secure my sons future. I will be forever grateful to this man and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needed. Exceptional attorney and person!

This month Mr Tedone took care of two separate cases involving my adult children and I have nothing but gratitude to him for his professionalism, empathy, and respect for us all. He gives undivided attention, returns calls personally as quickly as he can, and makes his services affordable and fair. I couldn't recommend him any higher

Cosmo surpassed my expectations when he represented me. He is very knowledgeable of the law and cares a lot about his clients. I'm glad I was not just another case for him. He actually puts forward his best effort for his clients. I definitely will be recommending him to any friends or family members that need legal help.

Cosmo makes every client feel important no matter how small or large the case. The time and effort he puts into his work is amazing. He is honest and keeps you comfortable through the entire process. I have the utmost respect for him and would never call another law firm.

I hired him for my African American son. I have no regrets. I will recommend him to all. If you are a parent, your children are your most prized possessions, he will consider them important to. He worked with me on an affordable payment plan. He kept us informed. He personally returned many of my calls.

Cosmo and his firm are currently assisting my fiancé and I in the purchase of our first home. They have been with us every step of the way, offering us great advice. Since we are first time homebuyers, we have not been through the process of purchasing a home before, and are quite overwhelmed as a result. Cosmo and his team have helped to ease our concerns and helped explain real estate legalese in a way that we can understand. They've helped us tremendously, with contract issues as well as repair requests, and we are so grateful for their expertise during this hectic time in our lives. I would HIGHLY recommend Cosmo and his firm for any real estate needs you may have! They are EXCELLENT!
