Samuel Erkonen, P.C. Attorney At Law

Sam took our case when we were dealing with a significant financial issue with our bank. He immediately applied pressure on the bank to get the issue resolved. He was always available to discuss the case with us, and was quick to return our calls if we didn’t reach him initially. His calm demeanor kept us calm as we were working through this stressful situation. Thanks to Sam, we were able to get this resolved quickly!

After having a very difficult time with a previous lawyer, I switched to Sam. He was so helpful during a very difficult time. He helped me negotiate my needs through a tough divorce. Sam also listened as a friend and was very personable. His prices are very reasonable, he is always available by cell or responds quickly and has a very kind, relaxed demeanor. Thanks Sam!

Sam is a great attorney, and even a better person. He saved us a good chunk of change, and kept us out of harm's way. I highly recommend him!

I just wanted to say a huge Thank you to Sam! He stepped up last minute to help me and my daughter as we was put in a very difficult situation and on a time crunch. Sam contacted me personally late at night as he was referred from a great friend. He truly cared about and listened to our situation and opted to help me and my daughter fight a uphill battle. He addressed our concerns and was willing to go the extra mile if the outcome didn't turn to our favor. But without Sam I truly dont the outcome would have come in our favor. My daughters and I truly appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts!! Maybe me believe in lawyers again and not just in it for themselves!!

Sam is always my go to Lawyer in Plainfield. He has a warm and kind personality that is indicative of how he treats his clients. He has helped me through various situations in the Non-profit entity I was involved with as well as many personal situations. When people need referrals, he is my only go-to right now. I encourage everyone to connect with Sam Erkonen if you have a legal issue.

Sam recently did title work for me on a Chicago condo purchase. Both realtors involved and the mortgage officer were surprised at how smoothly and quickly the transaction took place. I would personally suggest retaining Sam for any type of legal service that he offers. He's a 'people's lawyer', he will explain things, he will keep you in the loop, and do all of these things in a very laid back manner. I will never use another attorney in my life. If I could give 100 stars I would do so. Thanks again!

Sam was an excellent lawyer and represented me beyond my expectations. He was very informative and helped me understand the process the entire way through. Anyone should be lucky to have a lawyer as professional and outstanding as Sam is! Thank you Sam!

We needed a real estate attorney to help us with the contract on a new construction home that we were building. We called several real estate attorneys in Plainfield, IL and left messages on their phones but didn't receive any callbacks. Next we phoned Sam Erkonen and were pleasantly surprised he actually answered the phone. Sam fit us in for an appointment that afternoon. He successfully handled our contract dispute as well as our closing on our new home and our old home. Throughout the process, Sam was professional and upfront on what to expect for our legal matters and we were informed of his fees prior to proceeding. We will definitely see Sam for any future legal matters.

If you need a "down to earth" attorney that really cares about you as a person and your legal situation, and not just as "another retainer in the bank", then contact Sam right away.

Sam was very thorough, speaks the truth, and has 30 years of experience to draw from. When he talks to you, he instantly makes you feel comfortable, and you just know that he is genuinely concerned about helping you.

We engaged Mr Erkonen for the sale of a rental property in the Chicago area. We found the prospective buyer of the property to be rather "demanding" which could have complicated the transaction. However, Samuel was able to handle the various onerous issues, with the transaction ultimately completing without a hitch; with Samuel personally delivering the closing check to us (on the same day of the closing). Could not have been more pleased with the services / legal representation provided.

Since working with Sam, I have come to know he has a great passion for law. As a small business company he was willing to work with my company on several legal matters and work within my budget. Sam is dependable, very professional and great to work with. I recommend this law firm.

Sam did an excellent job on my divorce. Was always there to answer questions and meet with me as needed. Everything went smooth and was done fairly for both parties. I would highly recommend!

I AM PLEASED TO WRITE THIS REVIEW FOR MR. ERKONEN. THIS GENTLE MAN IS EXTREMELY PROFICIENT IN MANY AREAS OF THE LAW BUT HE EXCELS IN THE AREA OF REAL ESTATE. HE HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE ANY TRANSACTIONS PAINLESS AND WORRY FREE.
HE IS A MAN OF INTEGRITY AND HONESTY.

Sam has helped me in so many ways. Very professional and great to work with!

We sought out Mr. Erkonen due to a horrible tenant back in March, the tenant refused to pay rent and her lease was not over with until July 31 of this year. Unfortunately, Mr.Erkonen did the opposite of what we asked him to do. He continued to try to come to a resolution with the tenant instead of starting the eviction process. Finally when he did start the process he told me that the sherriff was behind come to find out he never even sent the paperwork to have the tenant served. He charged my husband and I $1500.00 for nothing. He filed the eviction in small claims under the wrong case which now has prolong my case. I had to end up terminating his services because of his lack of care and following instructions on how we wanted to approach this tenant. Retaining him was a waiste of our time and effort. He also continued to set our case for status prior to even getting in front of a judge. I had to hire another lawyer to get the job done that we hired Mr. Erkonen to do. Please be weary if you choose to go with him. You will have to follow up behind him and then be told lies that he did something that he didnt do. Causing ultimately you even more money than it cost to complete a case. I was very disappointed because he led me to believe that he would fight on my behalf as a landlord, unfortunately that wasnt the case.

Shortly after I submitted this I was contacted by Mr. Erkonen, to take this review down. I have a right to make a review on services that were rendered to me.

Message from Sam, Shayla, please take that review down. I am sorry you feel this way. Remember, at the very beginning I mentioned that evictions take around 6-9 months and would be very frustrating. I never lied to you.
