Hired Attorney Mary C. Ludwig

Our Family hired Mary to execute the sale of our Farm. As the General Partner living in another State Mary was Outstanding in taking me thru the process from start to finish. We found our own Buyer so Mary handled everything for our Family Partnership. Mary revised the Sellers offer to Protect our Family and removed all my concerns by her Excellent Representation. We can't Thank Mary and Kara who took my calls when Mary was with other Clients enough for all they did for us.

Hired Attorney Mary C. Ludwig

Mary Ludwig, attorney, was excellent from start to finish of my Central IL farmland sale. I live in another state and knew nothing about current farming, but Mary professionally and patiently guided me through every step. Mary Ludwig worked well with my brokers (who both complimented her) and the buyer’s attorney. I was relieved to trust Mary who I felt always represented my best interests. She encouraged me to ask any questions at any time; and responded quickly by email or phone with her expertise. I will always appreciate Mary's incredible assistance through this process. Thank you so much!

Listens to your needs and provides assistance when I was confused. He helped me gain a better understanding of what I could clarify in the Will and Living Will.

Hired Attorney Mary C. Ludwig

Working with Mary was a nightmare. If you hire her get ready to be put on the back burner and get ready for some incompetent work. During a time of high emotion she provided no relief or support. Be aware she is unpolished when it comes to laws that require in-depth knowledge. Not to be too specific but she provided a suggestion that turned out to be highly illegal and unethical and she had to recuse herself due to this folly. The last thing to mention, it was due to her ineptitude that caused more strife within my family.

Absolutely awful experience. Mary did such a poor job handling an estate litigation, especially concerning her poor handling of a family dispute over property. Mary is currently being investigated by the Illinois Superior Courts due to her poor actions. Please AVOID her at ALL COSTS. Thank you.
