The Law Offices of Edward R Jaquays

Looking for Resolution? Look elsewhere. With an office across from the courthouse, it is my personal experience that Mr. Jaquays finds it too convenient to litigate, instead of work toward settlement. My case has been in the Will County family court system for going on 8 years POST-​Divorce! It is my opinion that this case has been kept in court due largely to his appetite for billable hours, fed by a contentious ex.
He doesn’t stop there. Mr. Jaquays has also served motions on his own client (the ex) threatening to file liens pursuing payment for his considerable fees on two separate occasions. This tactic is effective, and a well-​documented practice of this firm. So, be aware that should you not pay up as agreed, you may be litigated against by your own attorney. (Not to worry, they handle bankruptcy as well.)
For my family, his involvement has significantly contributed to a recipe for disastrous financial fallout all-​around. Of course, it’s not all his fault, he’s just following orders, one assumes. He is a capable professional (although I have questioned his choice in ties). But at some point there should be a logical, ethical end to pointless litigation. Not here.
There are more compassionate, ethical attorneys who can litigate as effectively, or better. (Although he has a reputation as a formidable litigator, we won our case against him.)
Bottom line: Part of the responsibility as an attorney is to advise clients when to call it a day. That won’t happen with this attorney, unless/​until you’re completely out of money. I would urge you to consider these excellent attorneys, instead:
Mr. Paul Braun — Homewood; Mr. James Teich — Chicago; Ms. Carol Barry — Orland Park.
I would hate for what has happened with my case to happen to ANYONE else.
Respectfully submitted.

I was blessed to be referred to the Law Offices of Edward Jaquays by a trusted attorney friend. My ex-​husband had decided that he would file for emergency custody of our son while he was on summer vacation with him July 3^rd last summer. I was left to scramble to find someone to take my case, right before one of the biggest vacation holidays of the year. When I spoke to my friend, she spoke of this firm highly and said they were the best people in this area for anything family law related. I was ecstatic when I was able to hire Ms. Nicole Moore. She was patient, compassionate, kind and did a fantastic job. I cannot say enough good about my experience, even though it was an emotionally tiresome ordeal, I can’t imagine how hard it really could have been with an incompetent lawyer. I ended up with a happy outcome and it was due to having great representation. Someone who fought for my family when I didn’t know how to fight and was scared. I highly and enthusiastically recommend them.
