Thompson & Thompson

As first time buyers, I was very selective as to who I would hire to represent me. So much so, that I read all sorts of books, websites, etc. to locate the right questions to help find an attorney, and made a spreadsheet so that I could pit them all against one another to see who was the best.
I called dozens of firms around Chicago and came across Thompson & Thompson. When I called the office to get some general information, I expected to be passed off to an admin who would take my name /​number and get back to me later. Instead, I was put right through to Cherie who answered dozens of questions for me without even asking me for a number back (which made me feel very un-​pressured) — giving me as much time as I needed. I knew right then and there that Cherie was the one for us. She stopped and explained the process and made sure I was comfortable with the answers she was giving.
T&T isn’t a huge Firm, and all they do is real estate. That makes them very accessible, well versed in the field, and allows them to follow up quickly on all issues. Cherie walked us through the entire process and handled everything quickly and professionally. Several times before closing she kept us advised on the status of our offer, and proactively looked out for us when necessary. Her fee was very affordable and was even with other attorneys in the area. At closing, she took us through each document and always stopped to make sure we understood what we were reading.
Further, Cherie is very accessible via e-​mail and phone and always returns messages quickly. I couldn’t have had a better experience with her and I would recommend her to anyone buying (and I am sure selling) a home.
Thank you Cherie for a great experience!!!

I am a Real Estate Attorney and have worked with Thompson and Thompson. I have a great deal of respect for this office and its attorneys.

Responsive, reliable real estate attorneys not out to gouge you.
Thompson & Thompson have represented me at the closing for my condo and my parking space. Each time they were very helpful and efficient. They also have assisted me with some smaller items, such as updating our condo title after my wife and I were married and providing some perspective regarding service issues I have had with my mortgage company.
They were referred to me by a business colleague who had a good experience, and I have had nothing but good experience with them.
