Joel was recommended to me by a mutual friend who happened to be a lawyer and a trusted friend. He and Joel had worked together years ago. Joel handled my side of a divorce representing me through not only the bureaucracy of Cook County but expected dealings of an opposing attorney. I found Joel to be focused, knowledgeable and organized. He made himself available when contacted and clearly communicated when and how he would follow-up. He attempted to communicate directly with the opposing attorney trying to avoid court proceedings and costs. This showed he was engaged. Although I had never planned to use him in the past and I have no plans to use him in the future I would recommend him. He even knows a few Lawyers jokes.

Mr .Degrazia was referred to me by another lawyer (Dupage County) who had used him in a case (Cook County) with much success. During my consultation, I liked his no-nonsense approach. I found him to be very knowledgeable and professional. After my ex tried to drag out the divorce by not filing proper documents, Joel knew all the motions to file to get things moving. He was very helpful and available to my many questions and always returned my phone calls or e-mails promptly. I would highly recommend Mr. Degrazia,

I really appreciated Joel's straightforward, fact-based approach to my divorce. What seemed like an easy divorce (no kids, no assets) on the surface became much more complicated by an ex who was refusing to be a willing participant and chose to drag things out unnecessarily over a two-year period. During that time, Joel was always available to paint a realistic picture of potential outcomes and strategize on the best approach. Ultimately, we were able to settle the divorce under basically the original terms that were proposed. While frustrating that I had to pay for two years of attorney's fees before my ex got on board with the reality of the situation, I so appreciate that Joel supported me in sticking to my guns and was flexible with his pricing to the extent that he could. I would recommend Joel if you are looking for an attorney who is very experienced and keeps you grounded in reality versus letting you get carried away with your emotions.

We had hired Joel to help with custody agreement renegotiation. Joel and his team worked hard, at all hours of the day and sometime night, and all were reachable via whatever mode of communication we chose. We called, texted, emailed, and there was always a prompt response for us. Responses were meaningful and fact-based, not speculative. Ultimately, we were successful, sooner than we thought and below cost estimate. We whole-heartily recommend Joel and his team: Erika and Maryam. We hope not to need Joel again, but should we, he would be our first and only call for legal council.

Joel is an absolute GREAT attorney. He fought for me and got me very good results. He has been in the business a very long time and knows the ins and outs of family law. He answers emails promptly and responds to calls right away. I trusted Joel and he did right by me. Hiring an attorney in a divorce is a very important thing and Joel is a great choice!

I hired Joel in May 2018, he was easy to work with. We stayed with the exact retainer amount that he had committed to. He was available and would call me back. He kept in loop all the time.He knows a lot of people in the court. I am glad I worked with him. I already recommended him to other friends.

Not having an attorney, I needed one when my wife filed for divorce. A retired judge friend recommended Joel. After the first appointment Joel outlined the steps that would happen during the divorce process. I liked what I heard and saw. He was always keeping me in "loop" as what was happening. I liked how he operated. i.e.: with 35 years as a lawyer, when people speed up, I slow down. And when they slow down I speed up! Great way to operate. Joel is now my "forever attorney" for any thing that requires legal insight.

My wife and I came to Mr Degrazia not looking for a Lawyer but a Mediator. The fact that he could be making twice the money with his Lawyer hat on made me skeptical. How wrong I was. He was superb! I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a terrible divorce.
