Very caring and knowledgable lawyers. Fast responses and always available if questions or issues come up. Corey is top notch!! Recommend this law firm to all. 5 + stars.

- Sean Ryan

Couldn't ask for a better law firm. Corey was so passionate about our case. You know you have a great lawyer when you get custody and your finally heard by a judge. Our son even loves Corey, he trusts him and knows he will fight for what he wants and needs. Corey didn't stop and was always a phone call away. Very responsive to our needs. Finally found a lawyer that actually cares.

I am blown away by the kindness of this lawyer. He went beyond my expectations. If you need someone that doesn't look at you as $, but someone who really cares, then this is your guy. Thanks again Buch Miller. Words can't express my appreciation. Thank you.

Words cannot express how indebted we are to helping our owner, Mike Brown, located his beautiful children. Brenden Davis, Esq. is a great attorney who was very passionate about this job and get this...he treated the respondent, the children's mother, with respect as well. Talk about wanting the best for the client and the children without stirring the pot? An excellent law firm to handle delicate matters of emotion, the heart, children, just great. Thanks again, Brenden.

John Buchmiller & Associates were by far the best law firm in Chicago and in the whole country. Corey was amazing!! Couldn’t ask for a better lawyer, he really fought for us, great listener, always a phone call away. Not only, was he our lawyer but our friend who cared so much and wouldn’t stop until justice was served. He was always so positive, always took his time in explaining everything. He was amazing in court! Highly recommend!!!!! Go Corey!!!

I am posting this from my musical moniker account but I don’t want this be taken lightly. My son’s mother took him from out of the home we’re living in across state lines to Minnesota while I was at work. I was distraught. Here I met with Brendan Davis after leaving a voicemail. The first attorney and the only attorney that I met with. He reassured me that I was not out of options. He walked me through everything. He worked with my financial situation. He’s the best and I would recommend him and this firm to anyone that is in need of honest lawyer representation in a child custody case. I was only without my son for two weeks. I’ve had him for 10 months. Thank you Brendan.

I will like to share my experience that i had with attorney Corey Tallent ! He is the most understanding and patient and professional attorney that i ever had (i did work with a different attorney from another firm and I wasn’t happy that’s why I started looking and I found Corey) Attorney Corey take his job serious and listen to you carful, he will try his best on your case and always will be there for you giving you the right advice for your case and present your case with so much professionalism at court ! I couldn’t be where I’m today without attorney Corey Tallent help , he saved me and my daughter from an abusive life that me and my daughter was living ! I appreciate a lot his professional job ! I wish nobody needs to go at court but life sometimes give us what we don’t expect and at that time we just need help from someone that is professional and love his job and be there for you & working with you for your best ! And Attorney Corey Tallent is the right one!

John was quick to get back to me after my initial phone call reaching out. I appreciate that. He heard me out, cut to the Chase and did not waste any time. He was able to explain things clearly in a way that I understood. He also provided me help without asking for a fee which stands out! I'm very grateful for his help and plan to follow up if I need further assistance.

I first saw an add for Buchmiller & Associates on my shopping cart in Mariano's. I thought I would give them a call. What a great move! I couldn't of asked for more professionalism, expedited processing & overall just a great group to work with. I was refereed to Brenden and he just executed right away. Well done! I highly recommend! If I have to lawyer up again I will immediately call them first!

I highly recommend this law firm if you are looking to get divorced. I was given solid advice, and guided through the entire process. I had a lot of questions up front before retaining them and they answered all of them. My ex-husband's lawyer never returned his calls and he had to wait for days to get a call back, whereas I got calls returned within 24 hours. All around, I was very pleased with the entire experience and highly recommend for anyone looking to hire an attorney.

I was looking for an attorney to represent me in my fight for joint custody of my son. I found John Buchmiller and associates. Attorney Jacob Brown help me to understand my rights as a father and navigate through the process of obtaining joint custody. Attorney Brown was not only fair to me but also to the other parent. The other law firms I looked into were very expensive this is an affordable law firm. I highly recommend John Buchmiller and Associates for family law matters.

I worked with Jacob throughout the process and he was very communicative and responsive during it all. Very affordable in comparison to other places I've reached out to! Would definitely recommend this firm.

With the help of John Buchmiller & Associates, I was able to get an agreeable resolution on a parenting-agreement that I had been working on for over 5 years. They helped get a better outcome for myself and my daughter than I could have gotten on my own, and they were understanding and accommodating for the financial situation that 2020 has put my family in. They were great to work with, and I'm very happy with the result.

Evelyn Hernandez of John Buchmiller & Associates is the most helpful and responsive attorney I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I was in need of a complicated child support modification/arrears settlement and Evelyn attacked the negotiation with persistent communication. I was able to reach out to Evelyn by email or direct line and always received immediate response. Evelyn also successfully interfaced with my former wife, opposing counsel, the judge, the attorney general, the SDU, and numerous clerks at the IDHFS. No surprise billing. Even after the billing stopped Evelyn continued helping me finalize the child support modification and arrears settlement. Evelyn Hernandez helped me and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a powerful attorney who knows how to communicate and get things done!

It takes very special people to gracefully handle the emotionally charged nature of family law that involves the personal welfare of children. Brendan Davis was enthusiastic to accept my unusual and challenging case. The tactics of the other party constantly bombarded the case with new difficulties and legal complexities. Jacob Brown joined the effort to help drive closure to the case as he and Brendan successfully maneuvered covid disruption of the legal system. The positive resolution of my case was broader and more empowering than could have been imagined at its onset. Brendan and Jacob have the tenacity and empathy on top of core competency to humanely help families in crisis.

I had great pleasure of working with this law firm to help me get a fast and easy divorce ..it was quick and easy... as I knew it would be by the way the firm was being Operated I would recommend Christopher if you have a Dissolution of marriage in the near future It will be the best money you’ve ever spent ..Christopher kept me posted on all the steps that was necessary in my case ..Thank you

No one ever calls an attorney because it's fun, or things are easy. You call them when things are quite complicated. In my case a custody battle, which is never easy when there is a child involved. I worked with Evelyn H. who was extremely professional and knowledgable about all things regarding custody and my case. Even when I'd get heated regarding what was happening (which I'm sorry happened often). She was able to remain calm and talk me through the "facts" of the case and our next steps. You become very close with an attorney in a custody case over the course of 6+ months and I would say it was a pleasure working with Evelyn under the circumstances. If I needed to use an attorney again (god forbid) I would definitely be calling Buchmiller & Associates immediately. Extremely affordable and professional.

I had a case and Brendan helped me. He would always return our calls right away and answer all of our concerns. At times, I would ask him to be more aggressive, but he would advise that's not always the best way to reach an agreement. He worked hard on my case and the end result was just what I needed. So I thank him for that.

I dealt with Chris. As many family issues this was a very emotional and high stress situation. Chris not only responded to each and every one of my questions i asked, he did so with urgency. He was very understand, honest and did exactly what he said he would do. I know i was not the easiest person to deal with but he handled it and never got frustrated with my millions of questions or scenarios or emotions. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

I had the pleasure to work with Ian Elliot! It was a wonderful experience. He was so professional and got back to me in a great amount of time when I left a message or his phone. I really appreciate the professionalism. He always made me feel like myself and my case was really important to him. I appreciate the time he took to keep me updated on things. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone that needs a lawyer, thank you again Ian!

I have found John and Dominic to be excellent professionals. They delivered first-class service for me and I would highly recommend them.

Christopher Was one of the most responsive and honest attorneys I’ve ever worked with. I finally made some progress in a long 13 year battle for my daughter. It was a hard case and Chris handled it professionally and was very responsive throughout the whole case. If I ever need to go back to court in the future I will definitely be hiring Chris again.

- Mark Torrejon

I can’t say enough good things about Attorney Elizabeth Mavec and her loyal law clerk Dane Holland. I’ve heard excellent things about their ability to secure favorable divorce settlements. Somehow they were able to get my friends boat back from his wretched ex-wife. If they can do that, they can do anything! I’m not married yet but I plan to be married/divorced at least 3-4 times before the age of 50 and I will be using JBA for all of my divorce needs. Can’t wait to be a divorcée by JBA!

I have been in and out of the Cook County Family Court system for years. Family Court is unbelievably stressful, especially when you have children involved in your litigation. Kalima Swain was my attorney during this final trip through the court system and she was far and away the very best attorney I have encountered. She returns phone calls and emails and answers all of your questions, even the farfetched and panicked ones with complete professionalism. I would and will recommend her as an amazing and very conscientious attorney. Thank you Kalima!

I had a week to find a lawyer and i got served on a Thursday, Last minute find and couldn’t be more comfortable with the decision I made. Every other firm I been through was rushing, went straight to business really didn’t hear me out or made me comfortable or should I say buy me. Buchmiller actually took the time, asked questions, gave me multiple Scenarios of what could happen and business after which really didn’t seem like it was about money just more concern of helping me out. At the end of the day I got half of what I deserved as a father. Good communication all around, made it easy and fast for my situation I was in. Couldn’t be happier with the out come. Thank you for everything.

Kalima helped me with my family case, she was professional , compassionate and understanding. I felt like she had got the hard part done, so I can be strong for my family again.

Great experience with my attorney Dominic that heard my case and got it done, QUICKLY. Divorce is never easy and it helps when my lawyer takes a case off my shoulder, and with few zoom meetings to discuss my case.

- Leonzy Adam

We have been through 4 different attorneys over the past 4 years to get our case closed out. Ian was fantastic. He took the time and effort to learn our case, learn us, and he did everything he could to close the case in a timely manner. His goal was closure, not continuance. He was very responsive in meeting our needs and getting that added into the case.

In one of the most trying times in my life, going through a divorce, the amount of care and professional shown to me was unmatched. My lawyer Jane A.

I BYRON WILLIAMS became a client of John Buchman about 9 months ago, I was assigned Kalima Swain attorney almost immediately, at first I was a little skeptical, but soon after my attorney Kalima gained my trust, and she been there every step of the way, she always had the time to answer all my questions, and kept me well informed if there had been any changes or motions filed on my case, and she fought hard to give me the out come that I wanted. My case just recently closed thanks too Kalima Swain and John Buchman, and it closed with exactly what I WANTED! Thanks again ever so much Mrs Swain. I recommend that if you have custody or visitation issues hire John Buchman and associates and Mrs Kalima Swain to solve your problems. I promise you will not regret it!

I contacted this law firm back in 2020. At the time my lawyer was Chris Zarek. He went above and beyond to help me get my daughter back. Chris was always available and walked me thru this complicated process. Unfortunately he left but made sure I was in good hands with kamila. I will definitely contact them if I ever need help again. My family is forever grateful for representing us.

This firm is awesome. The attorney's are pleasant, patient, professional and informative resulting in a sense of confidence in their abilities. All my anxiety was removed. Their fees are reasonable and they worked with me during the pandemic surge that caused employment lay off resulting in the reduction of income. As a very much satisfied client, I highly recommend John Buchmiller & Associates to anyone needing legal representation in the field of their advertised expertise. You will not be disappointed!!! Kudos to John Buchmiller & Associates LLC.

Ian Elliott was my lawyer handling my divorce. I greatly appreciate the time he took to help me understand the processes I would go through. Ian guided me with talking with my X- husband to make the divorce easier for the both of us.He always called me back in a timely manner, and answered text messages when I had any questions. In the beginning I was very stressed with starting the process of the divorce but that stress did not last very long. I would recommend Ian Elliott with John Buchmiller & Associates to anyone wanting their divorce to be quick, done right and not cost a fortune. Thank you very much for your help and I wish you all the best.

What a relief to work with the lawyer, Angela Curry. I was a bit aprehensive and not sure what to expect during the whole divorce process. She was professional, knowledgable and most importantly, kept things smooth and easy throughout the entire process. We spoke only a handful of times, and from then on, it was just the signing of the paperwork and the final meeting with the judge. I'm a single mom with two boys, so I already had a busy schedule, and she understood with the get go what needed to be done. I highly recommend there services, in particular Angela Curry.

In current custody litigation and I wanted to give special thanks to Ian Elliot ,Kelly and Bailey. Ian took over after a year of being Pro Se , sat with me , and for the first time , someone listened . Ian and his team have been so compassionate and have provided more than legal services , they brought a sense of calm. This team is not afraid to stand there ground and their decisions and actions in this complex , high conflict case so far have been grounded in nothing but my child's best interests . The firm itself has been very willing to work with my limited income , afters almost 2 years of being in and out of court , they understood my position and limitations and found a way to make it work. Communication has been spot on , I don't wait for days for answers and the answers given are straight to the point. I could not speak higher of this law firm, and can honestly say I trust in their work. Thank you Ian

I contacted John Buchmiller and associates for assistance in changing my child’s last name. They were very professional and patient with me and the process of getting this done. I am very pleased with their services and the price that they agreed to help me with my case I highly recommend for anyone else.

Had a superb experience from start to finish with this firm and highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and cost efficient (compared to other Chicago firms) representation for IL family law matters. I was new and uneducated on US family law as a Canadian Citizen, however from start to finish I was guided with care throughout the process by this firm. After calling many firms in Chicago which were both out of reach financially and/or had mixed/poor reviews, I came across Charlotte Christian Law (formerly John Buchmiller and Associates), and was instantly impressed by all the staff. Firstly, by their case manager/coordinator Paul for selling me on the proficiency of the firm when I was scattered to find good/affordable representation, managing attorney Evelyn Hernandez who guided me on my options for the case, and then of course my go-to gal, my associate attorney assigned to my case the ever so fiesty Britney Retess! She fought for my rights in my family law matter and insured I got the outcome I wanted without missing a beat. She is extremely professional, polished, well-spoken, kept consistent communication, never had me hanging for replies or callbacks, and unlike many other attorneys I interviewed at other firms, she never talked over me/made me feel inferior and was always so patient with regards to any/all questions I had. I always felt respected and kindness in my interactions with her, which is hard to come by in cross-border litigation matters. I was so comforted to have an associate attorney who not only was passionate about my case, but genuinely cared for my well-being as a woman and Canadian citizen. She went the extra mile of throughly researching immigration laws, Canadian law, and jurisdictional disputes in her spare time to insure we covered all our bases in my case. It was such a pleasure working with Britney/Charlotte Christian, and made a challenging time in my life a lot more comfortable. Thank you Britney for everything! - Yurshin Ayuhan Sufi (Now Former Client) Toronto, ON, Canada

Great experience with my attorney Dominic that heard my case and got it done, QUICKLY. Divorce is never easy and it helps when my lawyer takes a case off my shoulder, and with few zoom meetings to discuss my case.

I have found John and Dominic to be excellent professionals. They delivered first-class service for me and I would highly recommend them.

Very satisfied with Dominic. He handled my case very professionally and timely. Also, affordable comparing to a lot of divorce lawyers.

I will like to share my experience that i had with attorney Corey Tallent ! He is the most understanding and patient and professional attorney that i ever had (i did work with a different attorney from another firm and I wasn’t happy that’s why I started looking and I found Corey) Attorney Corey take his job serious and listen to you carful, he will try his best on your case and always will be there for you giving you the right advice for your case and present your case with so much professionalism at court ! I couldn’t be where I’m today without attorney Corey Tallent help , he saved me and my daughter from an abusive life that me and my daughter was living ! I appreciate a lot his professional job ! I wish nobody needs to go at court but life sometimes give us what we don’t expect and at that time we just need help from someone that is professional and love his job and be there for you & working with you for your best ! And Attorney Corey Tallent is the right one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's like they say the third time is a charm. I hired Charlotte Christian Law, formally Jonh Buchmiller. I must be honest; I was not impressed with the first two lawyers assigned to my case. I was on the verge of going with another firm. I am happy I did not. On August 26, 2022, Attorney Britney Retess took over my case. Ms. Retess, oh great, another attorney is what I felt at first. I was wrong. Ms. Retess did not disappoint. Not only did she take my case, she understood the assignment. Not only did Ms. Retess take my case, she owned it! Her grit, resilience, determination, compassion, and pride in her work are unmatched. Britney, thank you for taking me as a client and taking on this complex case and winning. Thank you for keeping me sane during this challenging time. You pushed me never to give up, and as a result, I got the outcome I was expecting. Thank you Britney, this would not have been possible without you.
