Aaron is awesome. My roommate and I have a horrible landlord -- and when I say horrible I mean ent out your apartment 3 months before your SIGNED lease is up and try to kick you out\ horrible. Not only did Aaron give me great advice on what to do, but he also gave me the peace of mind that my course of action was great and the confidence to stand up to my landlord and not let him harass me. If you're having any issues with your landlord/rental agreements/security deposits not being returned/etc., Aaron is your guy!

I retained Mr. Siverman to help me with an eviction matter. Before doing that I spoke to multiple attorneys in the field. Mark's attention to details and knowledge of the law was unprecedented. His prices were extremely fair. His guidance allowed me to exit on most favorable terms.
Mark was reliable, professional, and got the job done. In my case my landlord deducted a number of BS repair \estimates\ from my security deposit which were never followed up with proper receipts (because she just pocketed the money) A few key points about working with Mark. 1. He offered substantial and honest advice prior to me paying the retainer. His advice even included telling me to wait a month for further inaction from my landlord before paying him anything. 2. I never met Mark in person, but I never needed to. Everything was handled over email which he responded to promptly at all hours of the day. 3. My claim against my landlord was for a relatively low dollar amount (compared to some of the stories in other reviews) but I did not feel like it affected the importance of my case 4. With current tenant laws and Mark's pricing model there is very little downside risk to pursuing what you feel is rightfully yours. Landlords have the burden of proof for every deduction and if they lose in court they have to repay the deductions large penalties their own legal costs Mark's legals costs. If you lose you are only out the retainer fee and court admin fees. Because of this I have to imagine that most landlords will seek a settlement unless they are very confident that they did nothing wrong. Our case ended with a settlement. After I received my reduced sec. deposit check from my landlord my first reaction was to just cut my losses and not deal with that person ever again. But unreasonable/false deductions are no different than your landlord stealing money straight from your wallet, and it should be treated as such. Take action. --- Bob M. (From Yelp)
When I ran into a security deposit issue with my old landlord I started researching attorneys online and came across Mark's reviews. I narrowed my list of potential attorneys down to three different Chicago area attorneys and e-mailed them all with the same information. I wanted to evaluate speed of communication, their style, thoughts on the situation and ease of working with them. Mark responded very quickly and immediately offered up his opinion on the matters and suggested next steps. The other attorneys immediately asked for money, responded days later and it was far more of a \transaction\ feeling vs. a partner. Mark was the partner. From the beginning to the very end, Mark has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I never met him in person and it was the easiest, most efficient legal process I've been involved with. He was always in communication with me providing me updates or answering my questions within 24 hours. It was a successful case and it went exactly as I hoped it would. Something that doesn't typically happen when it comes to legal matters. I'd give Mark 6 stars if I could. I really appreciate his help with my matter and if anything ever came up that Mark could help with, I'm definitely going back. I highly recommend Mark!
