Chicago, IL
Mike returned my call on Saturday morning. I've been working with him for 6 years.
My experience with Hurley McKenna and Mertz was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I first contacted them, it was clear that I was in good hands. The team, led by Michael Mertz, took the time to understand every aspect of my case, no matter how complex it was. They were patient, thorough, and made sure I fully understood the legal process at every stage. It was obvious that they genuinely cared about my situation and were committed to doing their best for me. One thing that stood out to me was the level of professionalism and integrity they displayed throughout my case. In an industry where it can sometimes be hard to trust who is truly on your side, I never once doubted their dedication to me as a client. They worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was carefully examined and that no stone was left unturned. Even when challenges arose, they were there to guide me and reassure me that they were doing everything possible to address the situation. Michael Mertz, in particular, was outstanding. His legal expertise and knowledge were evident from the start, but what really impressed me was his compassion. He treated me like more than just a case number, and his personal attention made me feel confident and supported. He listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, and kept me informed of any updates. In moments where I felt overwhelmed, he took the time to explain everything clearly and help me see the bigger picture. His calm, caring demeanor made a huge difference during a stressful time. While I have seen a few reviews of this firm that mentioned the length of time their cases took, I have to disagree with those criticisms. Legal matters, especially complex cases , take time to handle properly. Rushing through important details could mean missing out on key factors that could affect the outcome. I appreciated that Hurley McKenna and Mertz took their time to ensure that my case was handled with care, and it was clear that they were committed to achieving the best possible result rather than rushing to wrap things up quickly. In the end, I felt not only that I had chosen the right legal team but that I was treated with respect, compassion, and fairness. I would highly recommend Hurley McKenna and Mertz to anyone who is dealing with a complicated legal situation. If you want lawyers who are thorough, honest, and genuinely care about their clients, this is the firm you should turn to. They exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to make sure I had the support I needed throughout the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for better representation, and I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication. Highly recommended law firm.

Have handled my case with BSA class action with good communication and superb expertise

I have to say that I could not be more disappointed with this law firm. I have been represented by them in a personal injury case. I have recently learned that they are charging me 40% instead of 33.3% which is reasonable and customary for cases that get settled out of court. The answer I received is that they only charge that to instate clients because they are bound by law. But the law allows them to charge 40% to clients out of state so that's what they do and that I should have read that in the contract. My response was that I did not realize that I needed to hire a lawyer to read the contract from my lawyer. One of the attorneys named Danielle told me that I would not have a settlement if It was not for them... not true!! So in closing if your out of state don't expect Hurley McKenna & Mertz, P.C. to have your best interest in mind.
My lawyers for many years.. . I know I works their nerves 😂😂😆 my guy's never let me down...Great lawyers‼️‼️
Special thanks to Danille Gonzales who helped me. She made me feel like a human. Thanks to the wonderful legal team who worked our case. god will Bless you all. Thanks John
I highly recommend Hurley McKenna & Mertz, P.C. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication exceeded my expectations. From consultation to resolution, my attorney Mr. Hawkins provided personalized attention, expert guidance, and compassionate support.
Great technician very professional!
I had a very difficult complicated case. Christopher Cortese always kept me in the loop and helped the whole process be easier. He always responded to my questions and worked hard for my case. I appreciated his kindness and professionalism. They are very knowledgeable about the laws and helped me out quite a bit understanding everything. I would highly recommend this law firm. Christopher Cortese was great to have on my side.
They really care about there clients
I had a phone conversation with a young woman Kelsey I was treated with respect and dignity and humor. Which I greatly appreciate. She explained things in a way I could understand.Thank you for choosing her to give me a call

Chris Hurley and the guys, are the ones I just want to everyone to know., Kayla , Megan, Evan, Michael you all, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! Roger Moreland
I have read many of the reviews and it seems like I'm not the only one that has had a problem with this firm. They seem to tell you one thing and then do another they try and pass it off like it's not their fault and someone else is to blame. There fees are extremely high and unfair. They keep telling me it's up to the scouting settlement trust to get my money yet nothing ever happens. They are paying themselves with our money. I have contacted my local congressman as well as Senator Lindsey Graham about them. I will not stop until I get what is owed to me. I am contacting the United States Supreme Court next. I am one of the victims yet the lawyers and Barbara houser seem to be the only ones profiting from this. With our money. They don't care about us . It's all about how much money they can put into their own pockets. I'm fed up and will not rest until this is resolved fairly
Joseph - We take pride in our representation of victims of abuse and are sorry you are upset. Unfortunately, the Boy Scouts of America bankruptcy is immensely complex – perhaps one of the most complex cases in the history of bankruptcy law. The Trustee is busy processing tens of thousands of claims, fairly and with a goal of identifying fraudulent claims. We are at the mercy of the Trustee to process claims. Because our firm works on a contingency basis, we do not earn any fees until your case is resolved. We understand your frustration, but also understand that a case of this complexity, with this volume of claims, will take time to resolve.
The people at the firm were amazing. They kept me in the loop throughout the process that took several years. Would highly recommend them.
Mark - Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We appreciate your kind words and are so glad that you had a great experience with us. We strive to provide the best service, and we’re glad to hear that we succeeded. Thanks again!
I don't think I can really put into words how amazing this Firm has been. I live in New York and didn't trust my case with a firm here. I trusted this out of state firm all the way in Illinois to take care of my business. Best decision of my life. I could not be any more pleased with the service. From all the attorneys multiple paralegals all have been superior. Id definitely recommend this firm to anyone.Thank You Thank You Thank You for all you have done for me❤️👌💯
Thank you so much for the trust you placed in our firm to handle your case! We strive to provide the best service to our clients and we're so grateful for your kinds words and positive feedback.
This law firm Hurley, McKenna & Mertz are the most professional and courteous group of attorneys around. I wouldn't want to go against them in court. I couldn't be happier with Kaya Mazon and Evan Smola. Kaya is a great person and attorney. Thank you again all of you at the firm. With special thanks to Kaya Mazon and Evan Smola. You guys are awesome!
No words can express my gratitude for the excellent work and professionalism Kaya Mazon and Evan Smola have given my case. Having to relive the pain and trauma answering the questionnaires was very difficult but they were patient and understanding and helped me to work through the tears. Hurley McKenna & Mertz are truly amazing attorneys and people.
The settlement that they negotiated for me me was a lot more than what I was expecting, I'm extremely happy with their service!
