I am very grateful and thankful for all of your assistance during these last three years.” Judith - Cicero, Illinois

 

“Thank you, Colleen.  I don’t know if we ever fully conveyed how much we appreciated your work on (our brother’s) Estate.  We really did, and you made a very difficult situation much more palatable!"  Trish & Ross - San Diego, California

“Hi David, I received all the paperwork [estate planning documents].  By the way, you did a very excellent job! I am very, very pleased.  You were worth every penny.”  Shirley - Naperville, Illinois    

 

“I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the very professional and caring handling of my duties as executor of my sister-in-law’s estate.  Since this was all so very new to me I was at a real loss as to what to do and how to do it. You were extremely sympathetic to the complex situation confronting me at that time. There were numerous heirs, complex bequeaths as well as property to be assessed and sold during a time, I might add, that was not conducive to quick and easy sales. Your vast knowledge of real estate law saved me many pitfalls and hassles along the rocky road to “sold”, thank you for your expertise! Needless to say there was a tremendous amount of bookkeeping, banking and correspondence which you and your staff handled professionally and expeditiously. I could not have done all of this alone, I was fortunate to have you and your staff helping me. Thank you for your moral support as well as your expertise, I would, and have, recommended The Law Offices of Hoy & Sahlas, Ltd. to my relatives and friends.”  Margaret - Oak Park, Illinois

 In 2011, I, as the executor of an estate knew I needed a qualified lawyer. I called a person who immediately recommended the Law Offices of Hoy & Sahlas. I met with them, and found, to my delight, that they were the lawyers I was looking for.  The entire estate was done with utmost care and without delay. I would recommend Colleen Sahlas, who does the highest quality of work, and with complete cooperation at all times!  Thank you Colleen for the excellent service rendered.”  Howard - Wheaton, Illinois
