Testimonials

"Ms. Casey, I wanted to express to you and Janna Dutton my appreciation for your excellent and very competent legal assistance during the past ten months in my efforts to provide guardianship services for my friend and former neighbor.  You were timely in your responses to my telephone calls; your answers to my many questions were quite satisfactory; your mailed and faxed communications were timely and your advice on even the smallest details was extremely helpful.  Essentially, you gave me all the necessary legal support I needed to proceed with confidence and be successful in the guardianship process, which for me was an entirely new experience.  I sincerely thank you for all your past assistance."

"Humanity is the first thing you notice about Janna when you talk to her. You quickly realize she’s not just in this for the money – she really cares about what she is doing. Janna is extremely competent as an attorney and caring as a person. She takes the time to make sure you understand what is legally involved with your situation. Janna is also backed by a knowledgeable and compassionate staff. Everyone is just remarkable at Janna Dutton & Associates" (now Dutton & Casey, P.C.).

"I'm fortunate to have attended one of Illinois Elderlaw Conferences a number of years ago in which Janna Dutton was one of the presenters. Her knowledge of the subject matter and the manner in presenting the information impressed both my son and me.  As a result I engaged her to update my will, my trust and powers of attorney and later to handle and guide me through additional elder care work, the latter which was done mostly by one of Janna's very capable, knowledgeable and efficient associates.  My thanks to Janna Dutton and her associates for their professionalism and concern.

Your knowledge, professionalism and ability to satisfactorily and efficientialy complete the elder care work you did for my wife and me is truly appreciated.  I enjoyed working with you.  My thanks."

"Hi Kathryn, Now that this process seems to be about over, I just wanted to write you a quick note to thank you for your help, knowledge, and professionalism.  I've been on a big learning curve throughout this process and you've done a great job explaining things and getting me up to speed.  If I ever have a friend going through something like this, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.  I really appreciate that there was never a touch of arrogance on your part, and that you could explain things in a way that was simple to understand."

-Gary Ward, G. Thomas Ward Photography

"Please know that I am very grateful to Melissa and Janna for helping me out in such a
calm, reasonable, and knowledgeable manner.  Without them both, I probably would
have seriously had a meltdown.  And yes, I will be referring your firm to any of my
network that needs help with elder stuff."

-M. Markowicz

"Janna's approach was very thoughtful. We were in a difficult situation and I greatly appreciated her combination of expertise and compassion."
- Greg Oreskovich

“I just want to tell you how great Melissa Howitt is, and how helpful she and your law firm have been through a very tough time in our family. Two of my brothers and I had no idea how to go about helping my father, who has dementia, to be taken care of the best possible way in spite of other family members trying to take advantage of him, and Melissa's expertise in this area, and ongoing help, has us on the right path. She is readily available every time we need her, and is very knowledgeable about the laws regarding elder abuse. I've appreciated everything she has done to help us. I can't say enough about her and your law firm. I will recommend Melissa and this law firm to anyone who needs help in this area.”
-J.S., Tinley Park

"Melissa is a delight, she has a full knowledge of the law and is a wonderful and understanding  person to work with. She is always very concerned about what is going on and is always in my corner with full control of the situation. Just wanted to let you know how lucky you are to have her working for you she is the BEST!"

 

"I wanted to thank Erin Vogt for being such a good advocate today for my parents. I hope something positive comes from all her efforts."
