About

While I have been licensed for about 15 years, I have been in the real estate industry for over 20!  I have learned from what I consider the "best of the best" from a high volume boutique law firm, in the peak real estate years, to general counsel, to one of the largest and highest volume producing real estate firms in this state, during the REO boom.  I truly love what I do and any colleague, friend or client can attest to same.  I am passionate about my clients and their matters, whether it is real estate, landlord- tenant, Guardian ad Litem, or Estate Planning.  Each and every client's concerns and case counts, because, at the end of the day, we are all people, and what concerns my clients, also concerns me.

Staci guided us through the home buying process once we got into contract. She is responsive and got us through the attorney letter smoothly. She really shined when it came to closing. She explained the documents perfectly and was by our side the whole time.

Staci is the best! Extremely kind and so fast in response time, and she gets the job done and understands your anxieties and where you're coming from. So glad we worked with her!

We hired Staci to help with our house purchase. She was excellent to work with, made us feel at ease, and was with us every step of the way thru 3 potential home purchases (2 failed, and the last one successful). In fact, her diligence protected us on on home #2, and prevented us getting from into a bad situation). We highly recommend her, and will be using her for the sale of our current home.

Staci was absolutely amazing during the entire process of buying our first condo. She was very responsive and went above and beyond her role of our attorney. She regularly checked in, emailed people on our behalf when we had any questions and was a genuinely nice person. I would definitely recommend Staci to anyone who is in need of an attorney going through the buying/selling process. Even after out closing we had questions and asked Staci and even though we had closed she still reached out to the sellers for us so we could get some more things settled. She did not have to do this for us but we greatly appreciated everything she did for us.

I have used Staci for three purchases. During my first purchase she walked me through each step of the process and made sure I understood everything. The most recent purchase was with my parents who have never been through this process before. She answered every single question they had and made them feel at ease. She was quick to reply to emails, something our realtor was impressed with. She was very honest and upfront about the possibilities involving our situation so there were no surprises. She's professional and an expert in her field, just a couple of reasons why I will always use her for my real estate transaction.

We greatly appreciated Staci's patience, persistence and determination throughout the process, we do not think we would have reached Closing without her efforts. Continuously went above and beyond in responding to and resolving countless issues. Always there with advice to keep us informed and jokes to keep us sane!

Staci has got to be the best real estate lawyer in the Chicago area. We worked with her for both buying and selling our condo. She knows her stuff, works very efficiently, and is super responsive to messages. Not to mention she is sincerely nice and positive in all business dealings. There's nobody else I'd rather have at my side when buying or selling real estate.

I had the pleasure of work with Staci on a condo purchase and wow was she so amazing. Each step of the way, she answered questions. But she was also very proactive. I got the sense she cares a lot about her clients. Super friendly, personable.

Bottom line, Staci should definitely charge more! Staci was a referral from our buyers agent and worked very hard and effectively for us on a recent condo purchase from a relocation firm (read as motivated seller). The price we got was very good but the seller wanted to close quickly and sell "as is". The closing was little more than a week after the offer was accepted, but Staci still made sure every i was dotted and t crossed well ahead of time. Her understanding of title, condo and Chicago real estate law seemed unusually strong and I never once felt our interests were anything but the top of her agenda. Staci pushed hard to get concessions for us and clearly enjoyed advocating for her clients against a stubborn opponent. At closing, when I saw how little she was getting paid for several hours of work, I told her she should bill at a higher rate. In fact, Staci's negotiations based on the inspection got us a credit that was more than her bill. If I had let her have fun with it, we might have ended up with one or two thousand more. With lawyers, you don't always get what you pay for, but with Staci we got more than we paid for.
