Zeidman & Carpenter PLLC

What should have been a straightforward divorce proceeding became anything but. And yet, at every turn, I felt supported, informed, and fully represented, which gave me enormous peace of mind during what has been an incredibly difficult two-year period. Grateful to Lee and his team right through to the end.

My family and I would like to thank Lee Zeidman and his team for all their help and support. We had several legal matters that their team was able to help me resolve. Regardless of the amount of time it took to address, their team always had my back. I can say with confidence that all my issues have been completed favorably all the way to the end. A huge thanks to this group!

Lee was very responsive and very clear in all communications.

​I had a truly excellent experience working with Lee R. Zeidman at Zeidman & Carpenter PLLC for my Will, Trust, and Estate planning. From start to finish, he was incredibly responsive and demonstrated outstanding knowledge and professionalism. ​Lee took the necessary time to clearly explain all my options and patiently guided me through every complex document. He wasn't just knowledgeable; he was genuinely caring and helped me and my spouse make confidently informed decisions, especially regarding the Power of Attorney for healthcare and property. ​If you need comprehensive, personalized estate planning assistance, I highly recommend Lee R. Zeidman. He provides complete peace of mind.

My wife and I loved working with Jade and her team. Professional, knowledgeable, efficient, friendly -- the whole package!

Lee Zeidman to the rescue!!! I have been a client of Lee's for the past 7 years. I had a very contentious divorce that led to me having to readdress a number of post decree issues for the health and safety of my minor child. After working with no less than 3 previous firms, with little positive outcome, I found Lee Zeidman. Lee is a no nonsense straight talking attorney who refuses to get spun up with all of the drama that is so typical of Family Courts. Lee's knowledge of IL family law is unmatched and his desire to seek solutions instead of delay them is a very bright spot in an otherwise dark place. End of day, I was awarded custody of my minor child due to Lee's approach and determination to see things right. More than one attorney told me that it simply wasn't possible ( especially in DuPage County) for a father to gain custody of a minor,,, well, they were wrong. Fast forward 3 years and once again : Lee Zeidman to the rescue! I was involved in another very complex business dispute with my partners and Lee stepped in to help guide me through, and lead the process toward a very favorable outcome for myself and family. Who knew?? The best Family Law attorney that I have dealt with also has major chops in business and contract litigation. Lee is also extremely knowledgeable in trust and estate planning,,, so for the trifecta,,, Lee and myself sat down and re-did my entire estate plan and updated my needs to reflect updated IL estate planning law. All told, Lee is my one and only attorney and he earned that right through his knowledge, his shrewdness and his tenacity. If your looking for one of Chicago's best attorneys, congratulations, your search has ended!!! Lee is a cut above all of the rest. JF

I've worked with Lee and Jade several times over the past few years and the experience has always been great.

My business partner and I recently acquired two car washes with the tremendous support and expertise of Lee Zeidman at Zeidman and Carpenter. At first, we had our doubts and didn’t fully understand the process, but Lee quickly put us at ease with his professionalism and honest guidance. For me, timeliness and courtesy say a lot about a person’s character, and Lee and his team excelled in both. They responded to calls and emails almost immediately, remained thorough every step of the way, and ultimately guided us to the finish line. I would highly recommend Lee and his team to anyone considering a similar venture. Our business is thriving, and we’re grateful for all of Lee’s help. Thanks, Lee!

Great with communication, efficient, and a solid advocate.

$4500 retainer for a child support case. That's ridiculous!

If you’re reading this review and unsure let me help you. Hire Lee Zeidman as your attorney right now! He is reasonably priced and knows what he is doing. He is best reached by email and responds the same day. You won’t regret hiring him.

Lee was wonderful to work with! He helped me cross the finish line with a divorce case that had stalled out with other counsel. He really listened to what was important to me and was able to provide expert guidance while being mindful of of my time / billable hours. Highly recommend!

Lee and team were very responsive and had great follow up. He was very patient and understanding of my needs moving through the process. Highly recommend.

I had an excellent experience with Attorney Jade Carpenter at Zeidman & Carpenter. Jade handled document preparation for both my personal and professional business needs with exceptional care and professionalism. The process was smooth, efficient, and stress-free. The firm’s attention to detail and expertise were evident throughout, and they had an impressively quick turnaround and response time. Jade went above and beyond to ensure everything was done perfectly. I highly recommend Zeidman & Carpenter’s services to anyone looking for reliable and top-quality legal support. Thank you for making it such a positive experience!

I worked with Jade on preparing estate planning documents and Jade's services and approach exceeded my expectations. She is extremely knowledgable about estate planning, cares about understanding her clients' needs and is creative + flexible in navigating open questions to create best possible outcome. I found her easy to work with and she made the whole process smooth and efficient.

All I can say is Jade and her firm were incredible. I appreciated the prompt responses , kindness and professionalism I encountered with everyone at this firm. I highly recommend using this firm!

First time using Zeidman & Carpenter for a real estate closing and it won't be the last! Lee and Corrie were great communicators during this super quick 7 day closing requested by the buyer. Lee had to navigate finding a surveyor who could get the property surveyed quickly which he did before I was able to utilize my contacts in this area at a very reasonable price. They were fantastic to work with and am looking forward to the next real estate transaction.
