Amazing lawyer...helped me with Husbands estate I contacted the Law Office of Margaret Szymansky after my husband passed away. He passed away the day after we sold our house and the day before we were to buy our retirement house on SC coast. I had no idea what to do..how to proceed...and was an emotional wreck. With no home to go to I wound up living with my son in GA. My husband didn't have a will...would I have to file probate? Would I have to travel back and forth to IL to settle the estate? So many questions. So I went online looking for a law office in IL I could trust...it sounds funny but when I came across the law office website and saw Margarets photo I felt like she looked like someone I could trust. I'm so glad I went with my gut feeling...Margaret was/is AMAZING!!! There were so many hospital bills and Dr bills! One bill was for over $12,000.00....Margaret in her infinite wisdom talked them into eradicating the bill!!! She didn't stop there...she continued to either settle for reduced amounts or again eradicate them completely. She went above and beyond!!!. She stood in my corner and fought for me. She truly is such a wonderful lawyer...she takes the time to explain everything...walk you through the processes one has to go through when you lose a loved one. I am truly thankful to Margaret for helping me settle my husbands estate. I can't reccomend her highly enough. You can trust the Law Office of Margaret Szymansky!!! View More

knows the laws Margaret assisted me with my estate planning and reviewed a trust I was named in. She is so knowledgeable and explained each document that was prepared. She never rushed me, nor did she have a problem explaining something many times until I understood. She was very fair with her fees. She has many years of experience and knows the law. I will be using her for all future legal needs. I highly recommend her to anyone needing the services of her expertise.

Excellent and very experienced estate planning lawyer Margaret is an excellent estate planning attorney and perhaps one of the best in Chicagoland area. My family and I used her legal services for many years. She prepared and revised my estate plan, including Trusts, Wills, and POA. Also, she represented me in real estate matters. Margaret always clearly laid out all my legal options, so I could made the best decision for me. She was very professional, knowledgeable and returned my emails and calls promptly. She was very pleasant to talk to and very good at explaining all legal issues. What I like best about Margaret is that she is a person of integrity and honesty! I highly recommend her to my family and friends. View More
