I am myself a litigation attorney and hired Mr. Wilson for a personal matter. I was extremely unhappy with the service because although I prepared almost all of the documents and pleadings for him, he charged me as if I did not already prepare the documents and drafts for him. Furthermore, he was not aggressive at all with the case and we amost missed a deadline. I had to go to his offfice and insist he file some documents/papers and so he scurrlily prepared a pleading on the day of the deadline and I literally had to take a cab myself from his office and run into the daley center to file it. He continually put pressure on me to settle the case, when I told him from day one I wanted to go to trial and needed him to be aggressive. He insisted I come to his office for a meeting to again try to convince me to settle the case (which I always said was out of the question), -and charged me for it. His law clerk and myself did most of the work. I don't know how many trials he has had, but for whatever reason, he did not want to go to trial. He charges way too much for the service he provides. Maybe I caught him at a busy time, but still no excuse. Highly NOT recommended. I retained a different attorney to finish the case.
Pros: He seems to know the process
Cons: He'll bill you big, but not an aggressive attorney
