Ken has been my attorney for around four years during a very trying case. He has always spent as much time as I have needed listening and counseling with me. At trial he was right by my side showing considerable support, compassion and kind guidance. He is more than a counselor to me, he is my friend - my knight in shining armor.
I could not be happier with the exceptional service that I received at J,L&L. Their commitment to their client is evident in everything they do. The entire staff is knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. I was recommended specifically to Ken Levinson by a friend and will be forever grateful. It was obvious immediately that he was one of the brightest, honest and caring individuals I had ever met. His extraordinary knowledge of the law and caring demeanor immediately puts you at ease. Ken and the team of legal professionals at J,L&L ensure that every client receives the justice and fairness they deserve by delivering unsurpassed results. I would recommend Ken and this firm without hesitation, they are simply as good as it gets! Kim B - Naperville

Ken has helped me so much in the past few months concerning a lawsuit. He walked me step by step through the entire process providing great insight about my options. He is experienced and very knowledgeable as an attorney. I would highly recommend him; he is trustworthy, intelligent, and highly responsive by keeping me informed throughout the entire process. If I were to need another lawyer, I would want him to be my attorney again. Thank you so much Ken!
