Sulaiman Law Group

People who need help with money troubles are often taken advantage of in many ways. I had the good fortune to meet /​work with Mr. Sulaiman yesterday on a project and I was first impressed at his professionalism and courteous manner of speaking to all types of people, then I was even more impressed with his passion. This is the head of a very successful firm yet I noticed how he treated his employees, customers, even his family and as a photographer I have literally worked with thousands of legal professionals in front of my lens, but Mr. Sulaiman is as caring as he is honest as he is helpful to his clients. I hope you are never in need of the services he provides, but if you are, be sure to «interview» a few lawyers and see if you are as impressed with Mr. Sulaiman as I was?

Thank you to the entire Sulaiman Law Group team for helping us through a very difficult situation. Your knowledge, guidance and professionalism are outstanding. Because of the team at Sulaiman our outcome was better that we could have ever hoped. I encourage you to give them a call and schedule a meeting. They will listen and provide knowledgeable counsel specific to your situation. They are amazing!

The most insightful and educational hour of I have spent. I sought legal advice from Mr. Sulaiman on several issues, fearing a BK would be the final result. Instead he offered me alternatives and armed me with the information needed. This man is passionate about the law, his practice and truly helping those in need. I would very much recommend contacting this firm should the need arise.

During my 25 year career in the financial industry, I personally had dealings with dozens of attorneys. Many were fine individuals and quite knowledgeable: many were not.
Recently, I had need to consult with a foreclosure/​bankruptcy attorney on a personal matter. A friend recommended the Sulaiman Law Group.
From my first contact (Jessica) to my consultation with Ahmad Sulaiman, I was treated with respect, compassion, sincerity and a knowledge of the subject matter that was beyond compare.
Mr. Sulaiman not only has a total comprehension of his field (bordering on genius) but he also possesses the ability to answer your questions in an easy to understand manner, while conveying his caring and empathy.
I highly recommend this firm. Furthermore, should I ever require the services of an attorney practicing in an area of law that was not in the Sulaiman Law Group’s purview, I would seek their suggestion as to who to use because I trust their judgment 100%.
Please look no further than the Sulaiman Law Group in Oak Brook and Schaumberg. You will not be disappointed.

Having experienced the help and service from Sulaiman Law Group, I was extremely pleased and satisfied. Their greatest characteristic was their experience in dealing in cases which was very reassuring. In the initial consultation, Ahmad was extremely knowledgeable, listened carefully, assessed my situation and spent all the time necessary with me. After I decided to move forward with my filing, I worked solely with Atty. Nathan Volheim. Nathan was experienced, extremely knowledgeable and aware of the legal aspects in my filing type and county and was always reassuring. Nathan was always quick to respond to either email or phone call and in addition, pleasant to work with. In the end, my case was confirmed (success) and I could not be happier. They are a tad expensive — but worth it when you receive a team of experienced, qualified, reassuring and helpful team on your side. I recommend Sulaiman Law Group.

Absolutely excellent service! Excellent results with very personable and professional customer relations. Love these guys and grateful or all they did for our family!

It was a pleasure to work with this firm. Everyone I worked with was knowledgeable and pleasant. They answered all questions promptly. And most importantly they did exactly as they said they would and accomplished exactly what we set out to accomplish timely and accurately! I would recommend them to everyone.

We went through a difficult time in our life when we needed to declare bankruptcy. After having some bad experiences with different lawyers, we found The Sulaiman Group. Mr Sulaiman and staff made us feel like friends, not a number. Everything explained and he made sure we left the office with peace of mind. We can not thank him and his staff enough. We highly recommend him to friends and family if ever in need!

My fiancé and I used this law firm to free her from her underwater mortgage and clear our path to get married. They did exactly that. They are great people and an outstanding law firm.
Here’s our facts: Her condo was underwater by about $ 75K. The first floor of her building had a condo owner that developed Alzheimer’s and with his dementia, he also developed a hoarding habit. He hoards garbage from floor to ceiling. The building developed a pest problem and regardless of how often the condo association contracted an exterminator, the problem would not cease. For months we tried a variety of methods at the city, state, police, and fire department level to evict this owner but it became clear that the process to get him out had no end in sight.
My fiancé makes good money, she had no debt other than her mortgage, her debt to income ratio was ideal, she had excellent credit, and paid her credit card balance to zero every month. She’s hardly the profile of a bankruptcy candidate.
Short Sale wasn’t an option because the property would appraise much higher than the sale price due to the hoarder (what type of sale price can you expect from a place that has notices of exterminators and roach traps in all of the common areas?). We wouldn’t find a renter that would live in those conditions, particularly with a rent fee high enough to cover the mortgage. We needed to get rid of that property.
We met with Sulaiman Law who very patiently reviewed each option we had and balanced that with our life goals. They didn’t pressure us into anything and we felt like they had our best interest at heart. They designed a method that utilizes Chapter 13 bankruptcy to free you from your mortgage. It is a brilliant concept based on a US Sepreme Court precedent. The decision was a no brainer. Once we got over the taboo of filing bankruptcy, we went through with the Chapter 13. We made that decision because we didn’t want to pay every month into an investment that would never pay off and we didn’t want to be on the hook for $ 75K of equity. It was the easiest, the most predictable, and had the best case aftermath of financial future of any of the other options.
The process was simple. It involved some paperwork, one visit to court for 40 minutes, and the attorney fee that was made back by not paying the mortgage after we were no longer required to pay. My fiancé has received zero collections calls from her lender. Sulaiman Law was 100% correct on everything they said. These guys figured out a way to use the law to help people like us transition their lives. For us that meant buying a house (done) and getting married with a fresh start (January 2014). You can tell that it’s very personal for them. I’m truly grateful, and it’s why I’m writing this long-​winded review. If you are stuck because of an underwater mortgage, they are worth a consultation.
BTW, The process went so smoothly, and they so impressed me with their expertise on real estate, that I hired them as my attorney for the sale of my condo and the purchase of our new house. They did a great job for us there as well.

What a Joke! Do not waste your money with their $ 150.00 consult fee, learn from my mistake. First off… this one’s for you Ahmad :-) During our consult, he looks at me and asks, «did you see our Unilocal reviews»? I said, «well I tried but couldn’t find any» at the time I met with him these reviews were hidden, I wonder why ;-) He then goes on to ask that I promise to review him on Unilocal,what a narcissistic personality.
I went it seeking foreclosure defense and he bypassed my foreclosure and tried to talk me into bankruptcy., which by the way I don’t presently qualify for. He wasn’t interested in fighting my foreclosure which could have led to to a consent foreclosure or deed in lieu. He spent No time discussing options and The entire time trying to sell me on a bankruptcy. At one point, he acted like he had the greatest option/​idea for me qualifying for a bankruptcy. He told me that because my foreclosed property had turned into a rental (it was residential at time of purchase) it would be wiped out in bankruptcy because it would be treated as as a business. Meaning… I would not be sued for 100k. I asked him how this could be, I specifically said, «wouldn’t it have had to be a rental from time of purchase?» He replied, «no, we’ll just tell the judge your situation changed.» Well, I left feeling like maybe I had some light at the end of my dark underwater tunnel, until… a quick search online revealed he was… WRONG. And, my suspicion was accurate, the law clearly states for a property to be considered business it must have been purchased as a rental property and never used as a primary residence. For someone who was pushing bankruptcy so hard he didn’t even know the law that seemed pretty simple and obvious to a laymen like myself.
The entire process felt like buying a car, he was really trying to sell himself to me. Take your business elsewhere.

We walked into our meeting with a problem and walked out with a solution. One of the best choices we have made in regard to legal matters. I will go back with all of my legal questions!

I haven’t written a review on Unilocal in quite a long time. After a recent meeting with Ahmad Sulaiman, I felt compelled to come write one right away.
Let me start by saying that no one impresses me. I consider myself an extremely intelligent individual that can do a better job at most things, than the majority of people in their own profession. Ahmad was one of a handful of people, probably the second or third attorney that actually spoke well, was articulate and simply an expert in the field he works in.
After a major change in income related to a diagnosis of cancer for my mother, wife being laid off of work, and both her parents and mine having financial troubles, we decided to come in and talk with an attorney about the options. We heard a commercial on AM radio and met with attorneys at Fish Brydges & Associates. Because of timing, they were hired right away and to say the least, they accomplished absolutely nothing, yet took payment for it. In the end, we started looking for another firm. Surely, I’ll write up my experiences with Fish Brydges as well, which would get zero stars, if there was such a choice.
Anyway, we met with Ahmad and explained the details of our needs, as well as those concerns of each of our parents. Not only did he give us very detailed answers, strategic thoughts and direction but he also suggested that after talking with us, that he recognized that we knew a lot more than most about the related laws that we were discussing with him. He offered to accept a retainer and explained how it would work going forward but that he did not want us to hire him. He said that he wants those who actually need him to hire him, and not those who don’t, like us. He was extremely detailed in each and every point, with no need to reference anything but his own head. He talked about various strategies that no other attorney was even familiar with, but I researched what he talked about and sure enough there is supporting information on the web at various legal sites, but not one local supposed ‘foreclosure’ expert even talked about those options.
In the end, our parents will be using Ahmad’s services and we have taken his advice on our own needs as well. In addition, the following day, one of his associates called to answer any other questions we may have come up with in the day following our meeting with him. He has also personally been extremely responsive.
