Probate is stressful and complicated. John Lara, with all his expertise, knowledge and understanding, guided me through the entire process from beginning to end. Some unique and complicated matters arose; but, with his broad understanding of the law, John was able to handle and resolve anything that came along. He is an excellent communicator and has a way of looking at all things in a positive light. It is a privilege to have John Lara as my attorney.
I contacted Fornaro Law regarding a family real estate matter and was directed to John Lara. John was understanding of the situation, responsive, knowledgeable, exercised excellent judgment, and was an all-around pleasure to work with. I highly recommend John Lara of Fornaro Law to anyone needing legal representation with a real estate transaction.
I started my relation with Fornaro Law in late 2016 with purchase of my condo. My immediate gut feel with Philip and Mary are their attentiveness to clients. They helped me navigate the purchase contract maximizing my protection at every stage. Communication was timely and clear all throughout the entire process to closing in 2021. I feel they are genuinely invested in each client's wellbeing no matter the size of the transaction. This has been their modus operandi throughout their growth to the current firm. My attorney for closing was Habib Wardack. He was extremely easy to work with and answered all of my concerns. The mortgage application was very challenging with one bank and necessitating changing bank at the very last moment. Habib then helped me secured pre closing possession with the most favorable terms. Closing was a breeze with him patiently guiding me through the mountain of paperwork. I had complete confidence in him which is what made the process nearly stress free. Again, the most important aspect of Fornaro Law is the people and the feeling they have not changed their philosophy despite tremendous growth. That is hard to find these days.
My experience with Allison Walsh and Mary Bryk was beyond phenomenal. They guided us throughout the entire lengthy process of buying a short sale. They are highly professional and very responsive to correspondence. I highly recommend Fornaro law to guide anyone in the process of buying a property.
Words fail me in explaining how wonderful this law firm is! I was having issues in a legal matter. They completely took care of me. Answered my questions, assisted with all of my concerns. The speed of their response to my queries was OUTSTANDING. I really can't say enough good things about this law firm. They really represented me in such an amazing manner and their rates are beyond reasonable!
Just closed my second home sale with Fornaro Law. Allison and John H. were professional and extraordinarily helpful in this, an unusual sale. In particular, John was diligent and maintained frequent communication to make sure I understood what was needed and when. I appreciated his direction and his good humor! I recommend Fornaro Law for any real estate needs!
Fornaro Law has represented my business partnerships in some very difficult matters in both Cook and Will County. Phil Fornaro and Vince Mancini know the law very well, but they also know the latest in new technologies -- where business of the future is headed and how business decisions will be made. I have not hesitated to recommend them to other business professionals.
Allison Walsh and John Heneghan epitomize what clients are looking for in their real estate transactions; communicative, professional, and efficient – I have had Fornaro Law handle buy/sell side transactions and been impressed with the process and post-closing communication associated with each transactions – I highly recommend Fornaro Law –
