Michael Overmann, Ltd. - Darien, Illinois

Susan W.

This is a long time coming since I haven’t needed Michael for much in years however a family member needs trust assistance so I referred what I knew and remembered fondly.

Michael was incredibly professional, courteous, expressing genuine concern for my father’s trust handlings many years ago.
There was never a time we felt disappointed, disrespected or neglected.

The office always handled our calls and visits like we were family.
The attention given was beyond reproach.

So at this point, I’m extremely confident in that I have referred him to my family member as I know the assistance offered will be nothing but above board.

On a note to Michael, you should be receiving a call from Gary #%@!# this coming week.

God Bless you and your family with continued success!

Have always had great experiences with Michael and his office. I've never been that knowledgeable about wills, estate planning, and other similar legal needs, but Michael has always answered all of my questions to help me understand what I need and guided me throughout the whole process! The office is very personable and definitely values you as an individual. As my needs have changed over the years, I've always contacted Michael to help me keep my documentation up to date and accurate.

My wife and I have used Michael Overman for estate planning beginning in 2006, when we first created wills, trusts, powers of attorney, etc. Our thinking has changed over time regarding the disbursement of our estate, and Michael has helped us with that evolution. His fees are very fair, and his work is impeccable. He makes estate planning painless, and we have full confidence that ur estate will be easily passed on to beneficiaries.

I have used the services of Michael Overmann for my will and estate planning. I found Michael Overmann to be very professional, prompt, and very down to earth. I used to think dealing with lawyers would be daunting, but working with Michael was a very pleasant experience. His office is conveniently located and very welcoming. His office assistant was very helpful and getting an appointment was easy. I would highly recommend Michael for your will and estate planning needs.

I highly recommend Michael Overmann for both estate planning and probate matters. After meeting with my wife and me, he prepared a trust for us that was specifically tailored to our wishes. Months later, I had a probate issue come up in my family, and I reached out to Michael. My call very promptly returned, and my questions were answered. He is professional and easy to talk to. I am 100% satisfied with the attention and service I have received.

I will start this review by saying that I am not one to leave bad reviews for honest, hardworking people and businesses - however, this is a time that I am making an exception.

I was referred to Michael Overmann by a friend of my Mother’s after my Father passed unexpectedly. He had no written will, therefore we needed to open a probate account to manage & distribute his assets. We also needed to appoint an administrator of the estate, which ended up being me.

Upon reaching out to Michael, he was very responsive and gave us the base amount of information that we needed to get started, but that’s about where it starts and ends. My family and I were VERY clear from the start that we knew little to nothing about this process, and would need to be walked through step-by-step, which we were assured by Michael that this would happen.

Any time that I called (and he actually picked up), we were rushed off the phone without clear answers, AND THEN subsequently charged for the call on our final ledger. After the initial opening of probate, we went legitimately several months, after attempting to reach his office to close the account, without hearing back. It took me writing an email through his free consultation form on his website to get a message back.

Along with the above issues, there were 2-3 instances where he either sent mail to a wrong address, or failed to make corrections to addresses, thus delaying court dates. We were not charged for the extensions thankfully, but due to my aforementioned lack of experience in this area, this created a lot more unnecessary stress on my end.

I don’t know if it was just because he knew that we were blindly going to pay him anyways, or that my Father’s estate wasn’t very big, but throughout the entire process, Michael and his office could not have been more apathetic towards my family and our needs, during what has been clearly an emotionally draining time in our lives.

Again, I do not condone ruining business’ ratings on Google/Yelp/etc, but I feel that my experience with Michael Overmann warranted this 1 star review. DO NOT hire Overmann Law to handle your estate or probate account. He may be better in other areas, or if you are richer than my family, but his work is not up to par compared to other *honest* lawyers that I could have given my money to.

We felt that Michael gave thorough consideration to all aspects of our estate planning and wasn’t out to squeeze us dry in the process.
