Fantastic Legal Team

This is a fantastic legal team. They truly cared about my case, and about me. They are exceptionally great attorneys, and they worked very hard to help me. (One evening after a long trial prep meeting I left their office at 11 p.m., while two attorneys and a paralegal were still hard at work.) LeFante Law gets A++ for both skill and compassion. They took great care of me, and nobody could have done a better job.

Well Prepared in the Courtroom

I was recommended James LeFante Law by a friend at PND high school. Jim was very honest about my concerns and worked with me through the entire court process. Jim is very talented and well prepared in the courtroom. Could not be more pleased with LeFante Law!! All his staff treated me with the utmost respect! I would recommend James LeFante and his office staff if looking for a great team of lawyers.

Mike Russell

One of the Best Law Firms in the Midwest

LeFante Law Office is one of the best law firms in the Midwest. Mr. LeFante and his staff not only took care of my case in a timely manner they made me feel like I was part of their family at the law firm. Mr. LeFante and his staff checked in on me after numerous surgeries to make sure I was getting the care needed. Mr. LeFante and staff always replied to an email or phone call promptly if I was having any issues. If your injured at work, in a car accident or find yourself behind some metal bars I would highly recommend reaching out to LeFante Law Office.

Timely Correspondence

LeFante Law Office is not you typical law firm. You are made to feel from beginning to end that your case is their top priority. Correspondence is always returned in a timely matter and all of their resources are available to you to make this a team effort. The LeFante team will offer their opinion but all decisions are left to the client. Great group to work with.

Blown Away

I was blown away by Jim LeFante and his associates. They did an excellent job for me. If I ever had a question and needed to talk to Jim or anyone assisting on my case, they were always there for me to answer any questions. Phone calls were returned in a timely manner and case was also resolved in a timely manner, even during an epidemic. I suggest, if you are reading this review and need an excellent law team, its LeFante Law. Thank You to all! Especially Jim LeFante.

Amazing Team
