Scammers and of no help to citizens needing their assistance. Use the excuse they have limited funds and won't do what you need. Our taxes ultimately pay their salaries, so you would think they would and could do anything a citizen needs, instead of making excuses. Found out you have to pay per page reviewed, $100's of dollars. I can't afford their peo-bono assistance. What a joke! They must enjoy being an embarrassment to the poor people of Illinois! Must have been Ameren executives in their prior lives!

I was told by one of them to try to obtain guardianship of my adult son with disabilities (but that they don't help with guardianship so didn't help with that), then call back when his ssi case gets denied a second time. (They said they could only help after it gets denied a second time). So I call back during second denial and then was told by another of their "attorney" that they couldn't help me because of a "conflict of interest " because I had previously called about getting help with guardianship? (which they didn't help me with, I called the first time about his ssi appeal..they only recommended I get guardianship from what I recall). She told me it was hard to explain.. ok well made no sense either! I believe she was saying the guardianship was for me and the ssi for my son? Well sorry but I don't need the guardianship or ANY of it for myself.. believe me! I'd very much just like to live my own life and not have to worry about my adult son! I feel she may have thought I was lying about something with my son. I have no reason to lie just a frustrated parent unable to seem to get any help for my son because he turned the magic number of 18 and unable to care for himself on his own. Honestly, this woman wouldn't have been able to represent him anyways with the impression I got from her. No thank you. It's pretty sad that this seems to be the only "pro bono" attorney s around in Illinois and they are of zero help only add to the stress, frustration and confusion in my case.

Would not even talk to me or refer me to somebody who could help! I’m a single mom living paycheck to paycheck! I am raising my daughter alone but I’m told I make to much much for them to help me! Where do I go when I don’t have $4,000 for a retainer! Your system is messed up! I need a pro bono attorney and I’m left to fight on my own! No one will help me!!!!

I feel that the attorney really don't fight hard enough for their clients. I feel like my eviction could have been avoid. I'm a take it as a blessing because the apartment me and my kids was residing was falling apart and PHA didn't even want to fix the decaying walls, the rusted pipes that was in the kids room rusted completely out of the ceiling. I was being charge for repairs that was never done, and the fact in had proof. Pictures that go back almost two years and recent ones as well. Not the fact of my money order I had paid Aug 7, 2017 of $212.00, went missing i didnt know that until the middle of September when I went in to pay rent. The fact they put in my hands to fix, knowing a chance of unfortunate circumstances or events to happen. Bottom line my story can go on for days but I feel like I really didn't get justice. Wasn't that what we was fighting for any way.
