Costigan & Wollrab: Robert W. Porter - Bloomington, Illinois

Matt F.

After a bad experience with a previous probate lawyer, we looked at google reviews of many lawyers. Mr. Porter caught our eye since he had a good review from a judge.

It was even more difficult since my sister had just died which precipitated me taking over my mother's estate as well as executing my sister's.

After speaking to him and two other probate lawyers, we chose Mr. Porter.

It was a great decision. Mr. Porter is very efficient, very clear on time lines and explains things very clearly when asked. He made great use of email and billed for these emails extremely fairly. He was very supportive during this very difficult time. He prioritized necessary actions, e.g., placing the notice to creditors as soon as he could.

His assistant, Deanne, is also awesome. She would return emails and phone calls very quickly. She would also answer any questions she could. If she couldn't answer them, she'd get the answers and respond in a timely manner. She was also very kind and supportive during this awful time.

From what I can tell, Mr. Porter got the estates running and closed within the minimum time possible.

If you are in the unfortunate position of needing a probate lawyer, Mr. Porter should be at the top of your list.

Robert Porter and Costigan & Wollrab staff are highly recommended. Mr. Porter provided legal services as our subdivision went through some issues and starting a new HOA. His help in the legal process was much appreciated and he provided clarity in the legal details of our journey. The staff were always courteous and professional.

Robert was a huge help as we established a will and trust. He was attentive and knowledgeable. He was thorough and efficient - and accommodated our schedules.

Highly recommend if you want to feel secure in your decisions. We started knowing very little but learned a lot quickly.

I was referred to Robert Porter by a family friend who happens to be a Judge, and I'm glad I got the referral. Mr. Porter walked that fine line between professionalism and personable. I always felt comfortable with him and I believe he really does care about getting the best outcome for his clients. He got everything I needed accomplished without delays, and his entire staff was a pleasure to work with.

I will always recommend Mr. Porter to anyone I come across needing legal assistance in his specialization.

Robert Porter helped us work through several legal issues as our HOA was developed, taking ownership from a controversial builder. He helped us navigate through issues we were not sure existed and made many suggestions that kept us on track. We cannot thank him enough for his assistance and would not hesitate to use him again for either personal or professional legal needs.
