McAdams & Sartori, LLC

Teresa McAdams has been an amazing lawyer for our case. She not only has gone above and beyond but has become a dear friend as well and that is rare. Thank you so much for all you do in helping families and friends you are greatly appreciated. Just want you to know that!

I have used them over the years and absolutely recommend them. They are very good at what they do……..

Teresa is always EXCELLENT to work with. She’s personal while professional which is hard to find when working with lawyers. Her responses are prompt, and she is always going above and beyond for her clients. Highly highly recommend!

Teresa is a wonderful person. She helped me a lot with my situation; I was really scared, but she calmed me down. I hope that, like me, many other people will get to know how wonderful she is, both personally and professionally. Thank you so much, Tere, for your work! 🩷

I recommend Teresa to everyone I know. And I will always hire her and her law firm. You not gonna get no smoke and mirrors with her. She's a great lawyer who really cares about her clients. It's not about a paycheck it's about justice with her. If I could give her business a million stars I would but they only gave me 5. So trust me when I tell you she's worth it. Give her a call.

Teresa McAdam is the best lawyer you could possibly hire. There are not enough words that I could use to describe her amazing work ethic and character. She's truly passionate for the work that she does and always puts her full effort into her work. In conclusion, I highly recommend this lawyer.

I want to share my experience working with attorney Terri McAdams, because her help truly changed my life. My driver’s license was revoked back in 2015, and over the years I was arrested five different times for driving on a revoked license. After that, I stopped driving completely and relied on Ubers for everything—getting to work, going home, even running simple errands. It became extremely expensive and stressful, and I knew I couldn’t keep living that way. I needed help getting my license back. In Illinois, getting driving relief means going through a formal hearing with the Secretary of State. There is a mountain of paperwork, strict requirements, and a hearing where you have to answer detailed questions. It’s overwhelming to handle on your own, which is why I hired Terri McAdams—and I am so thankful that I did. Terri made sure every piece of paperwork was accurate and complete. She walked me through my evaluation and all of my documents so I would be fully prepared. During the hearing, I misunderstood one of the questions and gave an answer that didn’t match my documents. Terri immediately recognized it was an honest mistake and stepped in with follow-up questions to clarify the situation for the hearing officer. Because of her quick thinking and her understanding of the process, my petition was granted. I can’t express how grateful I am for Terri’s help in getting my driving privileges back. She is knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about her clients. If you need help getting your license reinstated, Terri is absolutely the person you want fighting for you.

Nicole and Yohana handled my traffic case extremely well, providing me with details and information on what to expect. I felt at ease having them work on my case from start to finish. They made the whole process stress- free and as easy as it gets! Big thank you to the best in the business, thank you Nicole and Yohana!

DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM. THERESA MCADAMS BURIED ME BY NOT INTRODUCING ANY ASPECT OF MY DEFENSE, NEVER PROMPTED ME TO REVIEW EVIDENCE, AND LET ME GET DESTROYED ON THE STAND. -10 STARS IF I COULD

When dealing with anything legal, there is a high level of anxiety and stress. From the moment we spoke to Theresa McAdams to the final verdict, she was there for us to help ease our minds and explain the process. She is a realist and will tell you her thoughts. Terri is very knowledgeable! She's good at what she does! Highly recommend!!!

Nicole Sartori is the best! I've had to hire her for a traffic case, and now a family/custody case. Absolutely 100% the best I have come across. She handled everything extremely professionally. Her and her paralegal, Yohana, have kept me in the loop every step of the way. I couldn't ask for a better outcome in either situation. Thank you, Ms. Sartori!

We couldn't be more grateful for our experience with Nicole Sartori. A true advocate, she fought tirelessly for our family and never backed down — even when things got tough. Her expertise, dedication, and results-driven approach gave us peace of mind during one of the most challenging times in our lives. Highly recommend to anyone needing a strong, compassionate family attorney who truly gets results.

Nicile actually wrote opening statement on the day of trial....she did the least amount of work for the most money...DA. made her look like a fool..the judge actually wondered why they prosecuted ..my daughter was found guilty of asalt by a security guard that grabbed her by the throat !! VIDEO EVEN !!

McAdams & Sartori were referred by a co-worker to assist me with resolving an issue that happened decades ago. Nicole and Yohana made the whole process so smooth and seamless. This experience left me wondering why I waited so long to address this. Nicole had us in and out of the courthouse within 10 minutes. Yohana was my point of contact and had been phenomenal since the beginning. This team was quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns. And, it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I would highly recommend McAdams & Sartori to anyone in need of legal representation.

I hired Teresa McAdams as my attorney in 2021 and she & her team are still helping me fight in court today. After a brief attempt with an attorney that was very much not up to the task, someone recommended Teresa, and we have never once regretted the switch! My divorce was *extremely* difficult and dirty, and Ms. McAdams handled everything thrown at us by opposing council like a complete pro. My divorce was finalized in 2023, however we are still being thrown curveballs (here in 2025). This firm has continued to work through the many issues and trials we have had to deal with, and I couldn't be happier with the work they've done. The staff (especially Mrs. McAdams paralegal, Lori) have been truly phenomenal. On a side note, I'd also like to say that, unlike many attorneys out there, they bill fairly and don't try to wrack up huge numbers for the sake of a profit. As a single mom and sole parent to 4, it's really great to have an attorney and team that's honest and works hard to fight for you! I can't recommend them enough.

Dad's can be custodial parent! During what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life, Teresa McAdams proved to be an invaluable support. She navigated through my divorce proceedings with sensitivity and grace. Teresa was thorough in her approach, making sure I understood all my options for child custody. Her genuine care and empathy made a significant difference in my experience. The process was just over two years from the day I filed for divorce. After psych evals and a GAL, I was awarded full custody of one child and primary custody of the other two. My ex went through a local attorney that ended up firing her after the psych evals and then she hired a Chicago attorney at Davis Friedmans law firm. This just goes to show you that you don’t need to pay $525 an hour for a Chicago attorney to be represented. Teresa’s paralegal Lori was the best! Lori’s professionalism and timely communication helped alleviate my stress. At times I think I used her more as a therapist! I am deeply grateful for her service and highly recommend Teresa McAdams to anyone facing similar circumstances.

When you need a law firm in kendall County. For family issues this is the firm you NEED! I've gone through quite a few firms before and the results from those other firms were horrible. As a male fighting against female in family court to me seamed unwinnable with previous law firms. I've gone through the ringer until I hired McAdams & Sartori to represent me, this firm will fight for you every step of the way! I have nothing but the most upright respect for them! Need a lawyer in family court look no further this is the firm for you!!!!!!

Your favorite law firms favorite law firm, can’t say enough about how helpful Terri mcadams is and how much she knows the law , highly recommend.

This is a long overdue review of my interaction with Nicole. Nicole was extremely professional in our encounter and made sure that we knew everything that we needed to in a timely fashion. Responded super fast to inquires (often within hours) and walked us through EVERYTHING we needed to deal with. I could not be happier with the service provided by Nicole, (and I mean this in the best possible way)...I hope to never need her services again! But...if I do, I know she will be there!
