“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

“Just want to say thank you for the time you spent on the phone with me last week regarding my auto accident.  So many people were giving me unsolicited advice - it made my head spin!  I am grateful that I was referred to you.  You advice was sound, fair and ethical.  Just what I needed to hear.  After speaking to you, I felt much more assured.  I hope we can do business in the future (on an unrelated matter I hope!).  And if ever someone I know is looking for competent, decent lawyers - I will not hesitate to refer them to you.  Thank you again!” Michelle - Oak Park, Illinois
