Mr. Schwab and his assistant Richard Labovitz helped me a lot and went an extra mile with my tough divorce. They treated me with respect and they were always behind me in the most difficult situations during the case. Thanks to them I can enjoy spending time with my little girl again :)

I hired Mr. Schwab to represent me in court regarding child support/ spousal maintenance/ marital property issues. My case was complicated and lengthy. However, I was advised by Mr. Schwab on each step and turn it may take, on how to act in particular situation, which happened the way he had predicted. Due to this outcome he has earned my full trust. I am very happy with the fact that he was my attorney and with the end results. I could not have wished for a better lawyer! Highly recommended!

I was recommended by a physician friend to call Mr. Schwab because he'd assisted my friend with his divorce, and was told that he highly recommended him and that his divorce took 5 months. After sending an e-mail to Mr. Schwab's office, within the day I was contacted by him personally to discuss my case. Each meeting, he worked with me during irregular hours and assisted in my hours of availability. He was professional when discussing fees, was transparent in what those fees would be, and was clear in how he billed. As the case went on, more documents needed, Mr. Schwab and his clerks were very responsive to my inquiries, and were quick to answer questions I may have during the process. Having three young children, and I would say not a case that was disputed by my spouse, we moved quickly to come to agreements with opposing counsel. I do have to say that amicable communication in a divorce is key to completing the process. My spouse also has disabilities, and with that in mind, Mr. Schwab was also able to give advice in Elder Law issues. At no time did he communicate personally with my spouse as I’ve read other reviewers say. He at no time seemed to be interested in only money. When I asked for a meeting, we had one. When documents were needed, I gave them and he filed within a quick turnaround. I had no motions. I had no disputes over major things with my spouse, which I am sure contributed to an easier way through the process.

Mr. Schwab and his team were very responsive and experienced on matters for my case (pension payments on hold due to issues with Domestic Relations Order). He researched my case and related cases, and proactively took actions with the court and opposing counsel to obtain a determination in my favor. Mr. Schwab and his team were professional, clear and cost effective in resolving my case.

He is knowledgeable and knows his stuff very well. I would recommend him to anyone. He helped my sister case. It took her more than expected, but it was not his fault.

I was referred to Mr. Schwab for an update of my will and medical directives. He was very prompt and knew his stuff well. I would recommend him for anyone. A good, ethical man who keeps your interest front of mind at all times.

I'm a resident of Buffalo Grove and work in Skokie. Mr. Schwab, I would like to sincerely thank you for all that you have done to assist me with my legal case** I prayed and asked for directions and God sent me your way. Every time I needed to speak with you--you were available (or returned my call in a timely manner). When I sent you an email, you responded swiftly---I am certain this process would not have ended the way that it has if it was not for your professionalism, competence and thoroughness. I have never been through a storm such as this one but I am forever grateful that you were available to assist me during the turbulence. Your affectionate guidance, understanding, your interest in me and my son, your belief that I was worth being your client was everything that I needed. You taught me a lot about myself through this process and I am so eager to set sail and move forward with confidence, peace, optimism, and joy. You made an impression on me that softened the stress and encouraged me to take responsibilities for my choices. I don't anticipate needing your services again, but in the event that I do, and/or if I meet anybody that does, please know, you are my only choice!!!!! Warm Regards.

We needed a new lawyer to help us terminate child support since the child was turning 18 soon. We lived in Florida, but original case was in Illinois. Very beneficial that he is able to practice in both states. He answered all our questions and communicated with us every step of the way. Every scenario we thought of (of how it may turn out), he was able to provide a detailed plan of attack and realistic expectations. Very fair price and support was terminated with no issue. Would hire again!

Mr. Schwab delivers results on his promises. My case was complicated and I came to Mr. Schwab with a big hole (mostly of my own making) to dig out of. Mr. Schwab went to the mat for me on numerous occasions during the process and achieved an outcome that was better than I expected. In the process, he also put me on a better path in managing my relationship with my ex that has helped me to this day. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer in family law.
