I hired Leo Ghantous of Ghantous Law Offices in Peoria and lost my case. When I received the final bill I was shocked. It was much higher that the original quote and considering he lost my case, you think it would've been less.
For my appeal case, I hired an attorney from in the same area (Peoria). My new legal representative graduated from a famous law school (Harvard; Ghantous's degree was from Thomas Cooley College... That sounds made up). Lawyer spent more time with me to prepare my case and we won on appeal. AND my bill was less than Ghantous charged me for brief pre-trial meeting and a losing decision.
Maybe I should take Ghantous to court to get a refund. After seeing him in action fumbling through my case, I'm pretty sure I could win a case a against him acting as my own attorney.
If you are looking for a good lawyer in the Peoria area, stay the heck away from Ghantous Law Offices. I can happily recommend, and have also heard good things about and. I heard a few bad things about Ghantous, but he quoted me the lowest price initially, so I went with him and paid more money in the long run just to lose and have to file appeal.
Sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company. Plus, if you post a competitors name more than likely they will show up on search engines as a Rip-off! - - your comments on this policy are welcome.
