Andrew Eichner - Berger Schatz Law Firm $15,000 retainer paid immediately, not even a partial return. Fired him after 6 wks of NO communication ripoff Chicago Illinois
Andrew Eichner is a unethical Chicago attorney. He aided in my divorce nightmare. I was referred to him. Signed a contract with a $15,000 retainer fee. He also told me I needed to hire a local suburb attorney so I didn't incur his hourly $475 travel time rate. This made sense. Of course, he had a referral for a local attorney, Steve Brody (another unethical attorney).
Andrew Eichner did not one thing in my case. The stories / lies he told were amazing. I never knew people could be so dishonest and unkind. I would call, no return call. I would leave messages with his assistant, no return call. I am a professional business women and wouldn't treat my worst enemy like this.
I was in a major child custody battle wanting primary residential custodian. I learned that Andrew was on a major news network promoting his 50/50 shared custody arrangement. He never revealed this info to me. He drafted me a 50/50 shared agreement. This is went he was fired. Rumor has it he is Mr. Berger's right-hand man. Stay away from this firm. Unethical by nature.
After 6 weeks, I terminated him, requested a refund. I received an approx. $465 refund check after spending $15,000 on him + $2500 on a local attorney.
There is major corruption and a mans network in Chicago. And yes, it includes the judges.
How do I get my money back? Any recommendations?

I read the original report with amazement. I am currently one of Mr. Eichner's clients and have found him to be professional, honest and ethical.

With thirty years of experience, I have hundreds of satisfied clients, not one of whom has lodged an ethics complaint against me in any forum. My acumen in divorce cases was recognized with an invitation to join the American Academy of Matrimonial Layers, a prestigious fellowship of the top domestic relations lawyers in America. I have authored articles and lectured on a variety of topics, including protection from domestic violence and maximizing child support collection. I have never been sued for malpractice nor disciplined by any regulatory agency for any sort of ethical violation. Unfortunately, in any service business, there are impossible customers. The claims alleged by this anonymous poster are absolutely untrue.
