Wakeman Law Group, PC

I can highly recommend Liz as I had a very complicated divorce. Liz was there to help me navigate through a very difficult experience.

Liz Wakeman, Seema, and the rest of the Wakeman group were so great to work with. I can’t help to think that if I originally had Liz as my divorce lawyer I wouldn’t have had to hire her for my complex post divorce case to begin with. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, and always one step ahead of everyone. She was always upfront and honest about everything and the quality of her work and delivery did not go unnoticed. She was professional and caring throughout the whole process and was successful in getting what we were seeking in court. I will forever be grateful for her services and will highly recommend her to anyone needing legal advice and representation.

Elizabeth has been just what I needed during this transition. She is extremely knowledgeable and able to make decisions with the future in mind, as well as really helping me understand all the ins and outs of what our parental agreement meant. She pushed hard on my behalf to make sure I was heard and that my wishes were honored. As I’m sure most people going through a divorce or separation have a hard time, I was REALLY struggling at the beginning of all this. Elizabeth was nothing short of encouraging, motivating, and compassionate. I truly consider her the reason I felt comfortable and ready to check myself into an inpatient program for alcohol dependency, which literally literally changed my life. It has been a long road, but Elizabeth has been there for me every step of the way. I’m so grateful I have had her as my lawyer and also a great support system during this time. I highly respect and recommend using Elizabeth Wakeman if you need a lawyer.

I have been a client of Liz Wakeman from 2006-2021, as a result of a very litigious ex-husband. I have worked with her for fifteen years and I can say unequivocally that she is both an excellent attorney and an outstanding human being. She combines professional expertise with deep and genuine care for her client and those affected by the divorce; in my case, this meant that she prioritized what was best for me and my children. My experience with other attorneys, who often pay more attention to finances than anything else, confirms that this is a special quality of the Wakeman Law Group. Liz is knowledgeable of family practice case law as well as interpersonal dynamics, so she is always striving to de-escalate tensions and reach amicable settlements. In cases where mediating and reaching mutual agreement is impossible because of the recalcitrance of opposing counsel, she is knowledgeable of family case law and effective in trial situations. During the fifteen years that I worked with her, she prevailed in court repeatedly while maintaining the highest ethical standards. I am very loyal to Liz and have come to consider her a friend, as well as my attorney, who cares about my welfare and that of my children. The team Liz has recruited is also exceptional; of special note, she has an extremely reliable paralegal who is always available for consultation when Liz is occupied in court. For those searching for a divorce attorney, I would encourage you to ask yourself what kind of person you would like representing you in court. Your attorney is a reflection of you to the judges, to opposing council, and to all the members of your family who are affected by your divorce. I have not regretted choosing Liz – a kind, ethical, and intelligent attorney – to represent me for the past fifteen years.

Liz Wakeman is an excellent attorney. She is very professional and knowledgeable in family law, she’s also a kind and compassionate person who listens and understands. From the moment I met her, Liz knew exactly how my case should move forward and she handled it as such. She always had my best interest in mind and through the process she educated me, guided me and kept me informed every step of the way. The office staff was also great to work with. I highly recommend Wakeman Law Group.

Divorce is never a good situation. Liz and her team made me feel heard and also guided me through the process. Liz was very fair and tried to keep all emotion out of the process for me. It can be hard to see clearly when emotions are involved and that's why I needed a lawyer who understands the process and explained everything as we went along. Liz and her staff have continued to be there for me with any questions as I go through my first year of unknowns. She is a phone call or email away. And I truly appreciate her kindness and support.

Liz Wakeman is a great attorney who helped me navigate an extremely difficult post divorce situation. She is very good at giving an honest assessment on a family law hearing and delivering positive results for what she says to expect from said hearings. I highly recommend her.

I worked at a law firm in McHenry County for five years and when I needed a lawyer the first person I called was Liz. The compassion Liz has for her clients is only equaled by the drive she has to fight for their interests. Her unique combination of knowledge, tenacity, and empathy place her in the top of her field. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to family or friends in need of legal services.

Liz has helped us through a post decree divorce and child custody situation. She knew what we were going through and helped to ease the stress by handling everything. She didn't sugar coat it when we asked difficult questions about what could happen. Liz helped to quickly get to a resolution. We appreciate that we didn't have our case dragged out wasting time and money.
The time has come to work on our will and trust. Liz is definitely the person to help us sort out details to ensure everything will be taken care of.

Elizabeth Wakeman is an excellent attorney, She and her team are some of the most amazing, caring lawyers out there. Honest, reliable, professional, and get the job done. Elizabeth has helped me get through a difficult divorce and other matters, and always did a phenomenal job!

As a divorced single mother of five children I highly recommend Liz. She helped get the support my children and I need. Liz did not rush through my case and never overlooked me. She even protected me on issues I did not even think about. I wish I had her years ago, for I am sure I would be in a much better state of day to day living if I had.

Liz is an excellent attorney and a very compassionate negotiator. She turned what would have been a nightmarish divorce proceeding into a very easy situation, resulting in a fair and comprehensive settlement agreement, and a focus on our child.

There is no other attorney I’d recommend.

Liz handled a PI case for me. She did an excellent job and got me what I deserved, given the situation. She was timely and did a great job prepping me for my deposition! I know she is brilliant and knows her stuff!

Liz did a great job at preparing our will/trust. She listens and is very attentive to our needs and requests. Great person to work with. And NO we are not related. No payment was exchanged for this endorsement!

Liz Wakeman is a professional warrior who showed compassion while being tenacious and delivering results in a very challenging situation. She is a lawyer you can depend on and trust.

I happened to find myself in need of an attorney, and I am so glad I found Liz. Liz and her office deserve this positive review for their efforts and professional conduct.

I had a great experience as I job shadowed last year and met Ms. Wakeman. Excellent experience. She puts politics aside and does an exceptional amount of work and does it fairly and thoroughly. I felt welcomed there and it’s a great place.

She's one of the best attorney I've ever dealt with very personable and caring. If you needed a turning you can't go wrong with her!

The review by Lindsay Keaton is inaccurate as she was never a client of this establishment and has been lead to believe inaccurate information.
