Client Reviews – Part 2

Peter Lubin is a loyal and talented lawyer. He is an effective communicator and sees the big picture. He is honest with his clients. He devotes himself to his clients and is very responsive and available. During the Covid pandemic he has also been very flexible. In all the lawyers I looked to hire he stood out as the most ethical and talented.

– Phillip R.

Pete was an excellent resource in discussing my employers’ non-compete agreement.

– Ben M.

Mr. Lubin is responsible to answer all the questions. He returned the phone call quickly and he is a kind person to work with.

– V. Z.

Peter Lubin is the best attorney I’ve ever worked with. I happen to be an attorney, and over the past decade, I’ve hired 4 attorneys for various personal matters. I’m used to attorneys doing the minimum, especially when it comes to giving case updates and returning phone calls. When I hired Peter, he went above and beyond. With our first telephone call, he was immediately ready to resolve the legal dispute, updated me regularly, and gave me the honest truth about the weaknesses/strengths of my case. Peter was especially knowledgeable in defamation/slander/libel and helped negotiate a quick resolution to my dispute, especially during COVID-19. If you have a serious civil lawsuit, Peter Lubin is impressive.

– Cynthia Pietrucha

Peter was fantastic! He helped us remedy a situation where we purchased a car that was misrepresented by a dishonest car dealership. Throughout the process, I always felt like I was in good hands. He checked in with us frequently to provide updates via phone and email, and I felt comfortable asking questions. He worked hard to make sure that we were satisfied with the outcome.

– Rachel R.

Peter is a very skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. I would highly recommend him to any one looking for legal assistance as Peter is one of the very few attorneys in Illinois I have found who cares and put the client’s interest first.

– Van R.

Mr Lubin helped me in a very complex dispute .He has a wealth of knowledge and brain stormed solutions . He worked hard to help me find a solution dealing with some very bad people who took advantage of my vulnerability. I would trust him to handle any situation.

– Nancy M.

I purchased, over the internet, a high value pre-owned Porsche from a non-Porsche franchise dealer. The seller did not disclose to me prior body shop repair to the front of my car. With Peter’s guidance I reached a fair and amicable settlement with the dealer that reflected the diminished value of my vehicle due to the prior damage. Peter knows automobile dealer fraud and consumer protection laws. His advice helped me reach a fast and fair settlement while avoiding a lengthy, expensive and stressful litigation process.

– Bill Smythe

I conducted a consultation with Peter regarding my non-compete and he was extremely helpful. He clearly had significant experience in the area and was very well-spoken and intelligent. He also clearly had my interests at heart as well as he only encouraged litigation when he thought it was in my best interest. Would definitely recommend to anyone I know.

– Belino Xhafa

Peter is an excellent attorney and was able to guide me through a non-compete/trade secret lawsuit. He provided incredible support and was able to provide a positive result very efficiently. I strongly recommend calling Peter first for any non-compete/trade secret issues

– Peter D.

Peter Lubin is an excellent, thoughtful and dedicated attorney. His counsel is invaluable in seemingly impossible situations and having him in your corner is a huge advantage. He thinks of every possible scenario and truly works to achieve the best possible outcome.

– Amita G.

Peter is a superb attorney. Brilliant litigator with enormous professional integrity.

– Guy D.

Last year I had a situation where money was owed to my business and was not being paid back.

I sat down with my new hero, Peter Lubin. He mapped out a strategy, executed it just as discussed, and the whole amount owed was paid back.

You are in excellent hands with Peter Lubin as your lawyer. I am so glad he was in my corner. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a litigator.

– Jackie M.

Peter Lubin represented me in commission dispute involving a sizable chunk of money that my employer was trying to avoid paying. Peter took over after my former lawyer had mishandled the case with a combination of creativity and a tough negotiation strategy he helped turn the case around and we obtained settlement. He spent a lot of uncompensated time helping to come up with the successful strategy. I highly recommend Peter and his firm.

– Philip M.

On a number of occasions our firm has had the pleasure of referring matters, clients, and a variety of issues to Patrick Austermuehle. The results, the interaction, and the skill level has been nothing short of extraordinary and we have thoroughly enjoyed each interaction with Pat and his firm. He is, without a doubt, one of the finest business dispute lawyers in the Chicago-metro area and I recommend him without hesitation.

– Jonathan H.

I bought a vehicle 1,000 miles from my home relying on the car dealer’s assurances that it was like new. When the vehicle arrived at my home, I immediately noticed several serious flaws. I called the dealer and they were unwilling to accept the vehicle back under any circumstance. After trying for weeks to get an attorney to represent me I was losing hope that the situation would get resolved. After some more searching online, I came across Peter Lubin’s firm and spoke to his assistant about my situation. Peter personally returned my call the same day and agreed to take my case. He referred me to an auto expert who examined the vehicle and found significant frame damage and previous substandard repairs. Peter also tried to get the dealer to unwind the transaction before filing the lawsuit, but they still were unwilling. After the suit was filed, he knew what documents to request from the dealer and who to subpoena to get the evidence needed to prove that the dealer knew the car had been seriously damaged and that they concealed this information from me. The dealer offered a settlement that would have left me out of pocket several thousand dollars. On Peter’s suggestion we rejected the offer and a few weeks later, the dealer settled for the full amount. Peter is an excellent consumer fraud attorney and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone else that finds themselves in a similar situation

– David B.

In January of this year, a nuisance lawsuit filed by pro se plaintiffs landed on my door. I was stunned and distraught. I cannot give details, but their claims against me were outrageous. I had also just recently gotten engaged and wanted to be spending my spare time with my fiancé planning my wedding, not fending off a nuisance suit.

I called Peter Lubin and he picked up the phone even though it was after 9 PM on a Friday night. Peter and his colleague, handled my case expertly. They caught the plaintiffs on numerous mistakes and adroitly used those mistakes to my advantage. I’m an intelligent person, I love to argue, and I’ve often been told that I missed my true calling as an attorney, but I can’t even begin to say how glad I was that I called Peter and didn’t try to handle my case myself. I (like the plaintiffs) would have made so many mistakes had I gone pro se.

Peter got the case against me dismissed with prejudice just 2.5 months after I was served, leaving me free to plan my wedding in peace. That’s what you call “results.”

– Bridget Jack J.

Peter Lubin and his staff were remarkably helpful and performed above and beyond our expectations when dealing with potential consumer fraud on our behalf. My husband and I first discussed our case with Peter during a phone consultation. He and his staff did some preliminary research before agreeing to take on our case. He and his staff met with us in person to discuss all our options and the realistic outcomes if we were to hire them. After officially hiring Peter Lubin and his team, they continued to work at a remarkable pace and achieved a settlement on our behalf. Even when respondent put up obstacles, they continued to work tirelessly in our favor. We were able to settle our legal issue quickly with the best possible outcome. Peter Lubin and his staff were very professional and I don’t think our results would have been as positive without their hard work. We would recommend their business to anyone in need of litigation counsel.

– Katrina L.

A great firm with attorneys who truly fight for their clients. Peter Lubin was on the case at all hours and made my interests a priority. All stars that I would have represent me time and again. Great job guys!

– Mark Z.

I was referred to Peter Lubin from someone in the car business to handle a lawsuit. From the moment I made the appointment Peter and his staff were outstanding. This wasn’t an easy case, most lawyers had turned me down. However, Peter took the time to meet with me and review everything. He took on the case and constantly communicated with me about updates and case information. We beat this non-compete agreement case in record time. I would use him again and recommend him to my closest family and friends. 5 stars is not enough to thank him for his service.

– Sebastian R.

When I found myself in need of legal counsel, I was referred to Lubin Austermuehle by a colleague. I had met with several other firms, and I knew from our first meeting that this firm was the right choice. Peter Lubin was our lead attorney and his professionalism and strategic thinking is second to none. It was truly a David vs. Goliath scenario as the Company I was up against had seemingly unlimited resources and a $1,200/hr. firm working on their behalf. It just goes to show that brains win over brawn. Peter and his team wouldn’t be intimidated. They outmaneuvered the other side at every turn over a 9 month period, eventually forcing a favorable settlement without going to trial.

I felt like Peter was personally invested in my case, and it showed through in his honesty, the countless hours discussing strategy, connecting with the appropriate experts, and his no-nonsense attitude when it came to dealing with opposing counsel.

It’s a scary thing to find oneself in need of legal representation. Peter and his team put all of my doubts at rest from our first meeting. They are a formidable firm with quality people. I highly recommend this firm to anyone finding themselves or their business in need of legal representation. They will be my first choice in the future. Gold Standard.

– Charles B.

Never having the need to consult a law firm before to defend ourselves in a small business/family dispute it was VERY overwhelming. Not knowing where to go or who to call, we took the advice of our daughter who did the internet research (Because that’s what young adults do these days) I was hesitant but I knew I need to call to face this issue as it was not going to go away by itself. I had called and left a brief explanation of my situation with a woman who answered the phone and within an hour Mr. Lubin had returned my call. We discussed the situation for 45 minutes over the phone and made a follow-up appointment with him at his office that lasted a good hour or more that he included in his free consultation, which was very much appreciated. As our situation was very complicated Mr. Lubin decided it would be in OUR best interest to take another route- although he could have decided to “take our money” leading to costing us thousands of dollars. We are very grateful for his honesty and directing us in OUR best interest and not only seeing the $$ signs. Based on my experience, I hope I never need to but I would definitely use and recommend this firm.

– Gina G.

I worked on two occasions with Peter Lubin and his staff. They took their time with me and discussed each and every item in detail. The group makes you feel like you are part of the family and not just another hourly charge. I recommend Peter to anyone who asks me for a referral. If you are looking for a top-notch attorney at a reasonable rate, look no further than Lubin Austermuehle.

– Kurt A.

Peter Lubin and Patrick Austermuehle represented my company in a lawsuit, they were extremely professional, and possibly the most competent attorneys I have ever worked with. Their research was outstanding, they were always on time, answered calls or emails promptly, and provided time and cost estimates accurately.

It was a pleasure working with them both.

– Gary B.

Peter Lubin and folks at Lubin Austermuehle law office are very professional and quick to respond. We called them with a request for the consultation and 2 hours later we were sitting at the table reviewing our concerns. Our consultation went really smooth and with no pressure. They reviewed our case and laid out all the options and possible scenarios before we made the decision to use their services.

They give the updates of the case even after the regular business hours which gives me feeling that they care about what they do!

Overall a pleasant experience in a tough situation.

– Kaspars M.

Excellent law firm. My case was a complicated arbitration dispute from another state. Was handled with utmost professionalism and decency. Mr. Peter Lubin was able to successfully resolve the case on my behalf and got me a very favorable settlement. Would recommend to anyone looking for a serious law firm. Great staff and great lawyers!

– Albey L.

This law firm is AMAZING!!

I sent them an email on a Sunday because I felt I was the victim of consumer fraud and was livid. Attorney Peter Lubin responded immediately, discussed my situation, and laid out my options.

He even suggested some non-legal remedies initially to avoid litigation!! Every other lawyer wanted me to sign them up immediately so they could get paid, without even having a consultation.

Peter is a great human being who cares about his clients and really put me at ease during a difficult time.

Oh, and did I mention that he was very well versed on the law? Peter ran through several different scenarios and, having substantial experience with similar cases, had a great understanding of how certain judges would rule. He really knows his stuff inside and out.

– Jim E.

I have known Peter Lubin for over 30 years. He has represented me on occasion with sound legal advice. He is a shrewd and tough negotiator leading to positive outcomes and averting prolonged legal hassles in court. He comes from a family with a legal pedigree and deep roots in Chicago’s top legal community. You want him on your case. You need him on your opponent’s case. He won’t stop fighting until he wins.

– Christopher G.

Lubin Austermuehle has been our law firm for over 6 years, we have a growing IT services company. We have been very happy with their level of service and expertise. 1 thing I personally appreciate is they try to do whatever possible to de-escalate potential legal issues. I trust them.

– Steve M.

Peter Lubin has represented our software company for over 20 years. As general counsel of our company, I have relied upon Peter and his firm for numerous issues ranging from protecting our intellectual property rights, enforcing judgments, drafting contracts and writing correspondence. Peter brings passion and intensity to his work, and it definitely pays off for his clients.

Moreover, over the years, we have dealt with various other attorneys and staff at Lubin Austermuehle. I sincerely can say that each person with whom we have interacted has always been professional and courteous.

I highly recommend Peter Lubin and his firm.

– Melissa H.

When our business was looking for legal assistance we didn’t know where to turn. When it comes to legal advice for your business it becomes a very personal matter. The team at Lubin Austermuehle came in and reviewed our existing Agreements and hand-held us through restructuring these keeping our best interests in mind. They continue to keep us informed on current news, changes to the law, and they are always available to advise. They are extremely knowledgeable and subject matter experts in their field.

As a business owner, you have enough on your plate to focus on. It’s important to find a legal team that you can rely on and who makes you feel truly comfortable. Glad we found them!

– Kevin R.

I’ve used Peter since 2010 for a number of issues including Asset Purchase Agreements, corporate litigation, non-competes, family law and currently to challenge the constitutionality of some Illinois statutes. They are always straight to the point and don’t tell you what you want to hear. I’ve found them to be open minded and willing to think out of the box to solve issues and usually over deliver on projected outcomes.

Will recommend and continue to use them.

– C Y.

First-rate litigators!

Strong on strategy and the law. Excellent client communication. In a dispute, Pete is certainly the guy you want on your side. Commitment is 100% to your success!

– James M.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this firm; Peter was phenomenal! They were always available when we needed them and kept us up-to-date on what was happening. Great communication, very professional, and reliable. I would, and do, recommend this firm to anyone looking.

– Jill B.

I want to thank Lubin Austermuehle for handling our case that ended up in Chicago Federal Court, they were excellent and very professional. A special thanks to Peter Lubin who assist us and always answering our questions..very pleased with their work and more so pleased with the outcome of my case. Thank you so much!

– David B.

Peter Lubin and Patrick Austermuehle represented me in a breach of contract and a non-compete case in the medical field. Our case not only prevailed in the local circuit court, but the firm went on to defeat our opposition in the higher court of appeals swiftly on a Summary of Motion Judgment. From the beginning to end, Peter and Patrick worked tirelessly on my case. Peter and Patrick went above and beyond to get to the finish line. Their passion for law, commitment, and compassion for their clients’ predicament were self-evident from day one. Also, I found impressive was when my lawyers knew the minutiae and details of my case more than I did. Their litigation skills are superb. I find their memory of the details of my case extraordinary. Their in-depth knowledge of my case and relevant laws were phenomenal, that they were keen in catching the opposing deponent on a lie or having made contradicting statements. Lastly but most definitely not the last, Mr. Lubin and Mr. Austermeuhle are notably very accessible and very prompt in answering calls. If they were not in court, I would receive an email response or return call in literally a couple of minutes (even early on a Sunday morning). These are lawyers who love their jobs and truly want to help.

Great law firms start with great lawyers and he is one of the best.

I reached-out for assistance on a matter and within 15 minutes of submitting contact info I was contacted by Peter Lubin. We talked live and I shared the background of the issues about which I had questions. Peter provided an immediate and succinct opinion on the matter as if I had been a client of the firm for years. As a lawyer for more than 25 years, I was very impressed with Peter’s responsiveness, confidence and substantive knowledge.

A confident lawyer that you can feel confident in, allowing you to stress less.

– Cynthia C.

This attorney at law is above the rest, in my opinion. In fact, he is my SUPER HERO. My case was difficult to find help because it crossed state lines and was a complaint about a used car dealership. Then along came Lubin law firm. I personally worked on this issue for a year, even to the point of taking used car dealership classes to find a way to right this wrong. No case is too small or too large for Mr. Lubin and his qualified team. Peter Lubin has years of experience working with used car dealerships and is not intimated easily. With his highly qualified team and auto expert our case was finally settled. His litigation expertise put us in the right arena right from the beginning. Things not often found in a law practice that this firm has abundantly is a real desire to help, respect for the client and doesn’t mess around with the truth. I can’t thank Mr. Lubin and his team enough and HIGHLY recommend them to become your HERO.

– Donna S.

Peter Lubin, thank you for saving my case, you are the best. After ten months of no results, Peter join the case as a co-counsel . From that very day everything changed. Peter’s knowledge and expertise closed and settle this case in three months. During the process, Peter was always available to guide and explain the steps for fair and quickest resolution. I would gladly recommend Peter as your next, He is above the rest. He is the BEST!!!

– Wojciech G.

Wonderful attorney who really cares about people and wants to help people. Peter Lubin was very responsive, listened and gave honest answers to my questions.

– Sarah J.

I reached out to Lubin Austermuehle to review a non-compete agreement I had with a previous employer. Peter Lubin promptly reached out to me and reviewed my contract. His legal expertise was exactly what I was looking for as he had seen many cases that were similar to mine. He provided me with free legal advice that other lawyers were trying to charge me big bucks for! Being a skeptic, I expected that I’d actually end up paying at the end of the “free” consultation. Nope, it was actually just free. Thanks Peter! I know who I’ll be reaching out to next time.

– Ken Y.

I needed the opinion of an experienced employment lawyer in the Chicago area. He responded quickly, delivered a well-informed consultation about my situation, and it was just generally a pleasant conversation. Definitely glad I called!

– Joseph H.

Peter Lubin was the only lawyer who was willing to take our case. For two reasons we were not able to find help. 1-We lived in WI and had an issue with 2-a used car dealership. No concern is too small or too large for Mr. Lubin and his highly qualified team. It took me a year of trying to get a wrong righted. Peter Lubin has years of experience working with car dealerships and is not intimidated easily. With his team and auto expert our case was finally settled. His litigation expertise put us in the right arena from the beginning. Something not often found in a law practice that this firm has abundantly, is a real desire to help, respect for the client and doesn’t mess around with the truth. I can’t thank this firm enough and HIGHLY recommend them to be your HERO.

– Donna S and Roger O

Peter Lubin is incredible. I personally hate dealing with lawyers and have always found them to be stuck up and pretentious. Not Lubin. Super helpful, super down to earth guy. Made me feel a lot better about my position and even though he knew I couldn’t afford his services at the time, he still gave me ample advice to work with and was honest about what I needed to do. Never gonna forget this lawyer and not going to anyone else if I need a lawyer again in the future. Also, their front receptionist who answered the main line was also so pleasant and had so much empathy, instantly put me at ease.

– Immad Khalid

Just had a phone consultation with Peter. I will not hesitate to hire him and recommend him to my relatives or friends. He provided very detailed professional consultation. I appreciate his attention to details, patience and time he spent with me. I am confident he will competently handle my case.

– Rimma P.
