This was the first time I had to hire an attorney for an injury due to a neighbor’s dog having bit me and I really had no idea what to do or how to handle any of this. Steve did a great job making sure I was informed through the entire process as well as taking the correct steps. I really felt like nobody was on my side, but Steve made sure things went smoothly and worked with the neighbor’s insurance company for a settlement. I appreciate you guys, thank you for all of your support.

I called to have a consultation and Mr. Greeley was so helpful! He provided me with the knowledge and information I was looking for. And he even did a call back to make sure I was on the right track and had everything I needed. I have a family member that works there and I will continue to use this firm for future legal aid.

John and I were very pleased with the service we received from Joe at FGPG while updating our wills. He clearly explained several options involving trusts and answered all our questions. The staff greeted us and were very friendly. After putting this off for many years, it turned out to be a very pleasant experience. We would highly recommend this law firm.

A year ago, my 11 year old daughter and I were involved in what could have easily been a fatal accident. A semi trucks tire came flying over from the oncoming traffic and totaled my car. The truck was not found and the damages to my daughter and I both physically and mentally, along with the cost of a new car, was a burden no one should ever have to deal with. Steve Greeley worked with me and helped take some of the burden off of my shoulders. When faced with such an unusual accident, I didn’t know where to start but he walked me through everything and I couldn’t be more grateful!

I am so happy that my friend and neighbor referred me to Franks Gerkin Ponitz Greeley. This was my first time having to work with an attorney due to a work-related injury and I must say that I am very content with the way my case was handled. The firm moved quickly on my case. I was informed every step of the way. With every encounter I had with this firm, either with the staff or Attorney Greeley himself, I felt I was treated like family. Mr. Greeley did not settle with the first reasonable offer made by my Adjuster in my case and instead pursued additional monies and made the insurance company see things his way! In addition, they have staff that speaks Spanish, so I felt right at home. I will recommend this firm to my co-workers.

I was a client back in 2009/2010. When I call I get an answer if not right away within 24 hours. I had worked with Joe in the past. The good communication led to a good settlement.

My co-workers told me to go to a lawyer after I was injured. I didn’t know what lawyer to trust. My father in law told me to go to Herb Franks.

Highly recommend Herb Franks and Franks Gerkin Ponitz Greeley to other people.

I was referred by another client, a fellow employee. He told him to come and talk to Herb. I found him to be personable genuine and can be trusted. He responded quickly in a language that we could understand and thoroughly explained the process. I was pleased with the settlement. It is going to go a long way. The case went a lot faster. I thought it would drag out. It all worked out very well and I am very thankful.

I have utilized FGPG several times and most recently for a residential loft purchase in downtown Chicago’s West Loop. Although, they are located in Marengo, IL, Terry McKenna, attorney and Kelsey Bowen, paralegal, communicated almost on a daily basis and Terry was at my closing. From start to finish, it took less that 60 days to close! I am in the process of utilizing them again for a business contract. I highly recommend all of the attorneys at Franks Gerkin Ponitz Greeley!

I recently used them for selling and buying a new home and with all the paperwork craziness, they were helpful, patient and helped me feel a little less stressed about the whole thing. I didn’t have to worry about a thing when it came to the paperwork. Shout out to Terry McKenna and Kelsey Bowen who did a fantastic job of getting me through all this with their quick answers to questions and patience with all the questions!!!

Very professional and thorough. Highly recommended. We consulted with them for starting our small business and also asked them to prepare our estate plan. The plan they provided went beyond our expectations and provided us with confidence to know we have considered all the contingencies. At the same time, they were personable, speaking English not legal-ese.
