Tom and Marcus are two of the most professional yet down to earth, hard-working, reliable and dedicated attorneys I have had the pleasure of getting to know. They have guided my husband and I each step of the way during a very stressful time. They have both taken time to completely explain the bankruptcy process and answer all of our questions. I highly recommend them to anyone needing to make a fresh start.

Attorney Herbert took the time to answer all of my questions. He has the know-how and confidence you expect when seeking an experienced lawyer and I honestly could not be happier with the attention to detail and professional demeanor he displayed while dealing with my case. He was thorough and went over everything. He is very responsive, and if I could not speak to him directly when I called his office, he would return my phone call the same day. Attorney Herbert knows what it takes to get the best results and he comes through. If you are looking for legal representation he is the one to go to. Very happy with the results.

If you want someone who is going to watch out for you and not take advantage of not knowing anything about Bankruptcy, here is your guy. He went step by step through everything and did not make me feel embarrassed or dumb. Wonderful staff and loved his dog! Anybody who brings there dog to work is my kind of guy. You will get everything taken care of in a professional and friendly manner this is the place to start.

I hired Mr Herbert in regards to a bankruptcy case. He was very knowledgeable, organized and available when I had questions. His staff is excellent too, especially Karmelin. She is patient, caring and makes you feel important. I recommend Mr Herbert and his staff!

I hired Mr. Herbert in 2008 and filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Mr. Herbert helped me clean out my debts I was unable to pay. At the same time, I was able to keep car and home by reaffirming my loan and mortgage. 12 years later I applied for a refinance on my mortgage. The title agency notified me of a lien on the property from a creditor who was included on my bankruptcy from 2008. After research we learned that the lien was placed on my property during the automatic stay. I was offered a low interest rate on the refinance and had only 60 days to get the lien removed before the interest rate offer expired. I hired Mr. Herbert again and he was able to work with the creditor to release the lein before the interest rate expired. He also had the creditor reimburse all legal fees involved. I highly recommend Mr. Herbert to anyone needing a bankruptcy attorney. I also want to mention his office staff is very helpful and quick to respond when calling and emailing.

I have hired Mr. Herbert to help me on 3 different matters in the last 5 years. I have also consulted with him on a couple of other matters without hiring him. I recommend Marcus Herbert to anyone needing help with debt problems, or banking matters. Most recently, I had been a victim of an identity theft scam and Mr. Herbert helped me make a police report and deal with my bank and credit card companies to protect my credit rating and my bank balances while keeping me out of trouble with the law. He was patient and knowledgeable and knew just what to do.

Attorney Herbert helped me lower my car payment and I was able to pay it off earlier. He was a big help when I needed it.

I have known Marcus Herbert for going on 26 years. In that time he has handled several legal situations for me both personal and business. Over the years he has looked over business contracts and advised me on how to proceed. He came to my rescue, driving for hours from southern Illinois to Chicago to represent me at a law suit when my Chicago attorney was tied up in trial. He worked diligently and successfully when my completed bankruptcy was challenged by a creditor; combing carefully over every detail of the transcripts of the trustee meeting, contracts, and all other paperwork and convincing the plaintiff and their attorney's that they did not have a valid case - they dropped the suit. Personally Marcus Herbert is a man of integrity and honor. While his quite manner and good humor will put you at ease you will also come to realize as you speak to him that you can trust him implicitly. Professionally he is extremely knowledgeable in the law and as an attorney gives his utmost attention to the details and the truth. I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal services; particularly in the areas of financial advice, contract law and bankruptcy law.

Mr. Herbert put in several hours of time personally with my husband and me examining our financial situation and finding the best solution for our financial problems. He explained both Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcies to us and the pros and cons for us personally for each type of filing. His service prices are fair and his staff was very helpful in guiding us through a stressful process. I strongly recommend his services to anyone considering

Mr. Herbert & Karmelin were super great to work with! They always explained everything and made it all easy to understand and what I needed to do. Karmelin is very patient and always answered all my questions in a professional and caring way. They were a pleasure to work with and I would Highly Recommend them! They are really good people!

Mr. Herbert and his staff were extremely helpful during my situation. I could call any time and they were more than willing to help me. They are very professional, compassionate and there is no judgement. Just all around good people to work with.
