Tyler Keller is a scam artist and a scum bag I was paying lawyer fees for an ex of mine. Tyler never answered any phone calls, never responded back to messages, and very importantly she didn’t explain any legal terminology or give any legal supporting documents. Tyler suggested it was best for me and my ex to break up and that’s what happened after we broke up I contacted Tyler to inform her that my card needed to be removed from file due to me no longer having obligations to pay or help contribute she told me it would be taken off yet proceeded to charge me $600 monthly for several extra months after a $2,000 retainer fee until I called again and stated they will be sued for fraud. If you need an Attorney look else where. Tyler is not vocal for her clients, she’s easily influenced by the opposing counsel and will agree with anything they recommend despite her clients best interest. When you look for a lawyer you look for someone who’s going to express your best interest with confidence. She is not confident in her self. She needs more training and practice.

I work for a non-profit in Chicago, IL assisting victims of domestic violence. One of my clients to who was receiving assistance from this firm, paid $6000 and never got to talk or meet with the attorney Tyler Keller, who was working on her case. One week before her court, my client received an email from this attorney, saying that she was about to close her firm and won't be able to represent her at the first audience. My client came for advice, and we called the firm, and they never gave any reliable solution or option for a refund. It is unfair that besides the abusive treatment from her spouse, this CHARLOTTE CHRISTIAN LAW FIRM is taking advantage from a mother who is under poverty level. Please do not use the services of this firm.

It's like they say the third time is a charm. I hired Charlotte Christian Law, formally Jonh Buchmiller. I must be honest; I was not impressed with the first two lawyers assigned to my case. I was on the verge of going with another firm. I am happy I did not. On August 26, 2022, Attorney Britney Retess took over my case. Ms. Retess, oh great, another attorney is what I felt at first. I was wrong. Ms. Retess did not disappoint. Not only did she take my case, she understood the assignment. Not only did Ms. Retess take my case, she owned it! Her grit, resilience, determination, compassion, and pride in her work are unmatched. Britney, thank you for taking me as a client and taking on this complex case and winning. Thank you for keeping me sane during this challenging time. You pushed me never to give up, and as a result, I got the outcome I was expecting. Thank you Britney, this would not have been possible without you.

Had a superb experience from start to finish with this firm and highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and cost efficient (compared to other Chicago firms) representation for IL family law matters. I was new and uneducated on US family law as a Canadian Citizen, however from start to finish I was guided with care throughout the process by this firm. After calling many firms in Chicago which were both out of reach financially and/or had mixed/poor reviews, I came across Charlotte Christian Law (formerly John Buchmiller and Associates), and was instantly impressed by all the staff. Firstly, by their case manager/coordinator Paul for selling me on the proficiency of the firm when I was scattered to find good/affordable representation, managing attorney Evelyn Hernandez who guided me on my options for the case, and then of course my go-to gal, my associate attorney assigned to my case the ever so fiesty Britney Retess! She fought for my rights in my family law matter and insured I got the outcome I wanted without missing a beat. She is extremely professional, polished, well-spoken, kept consistent communication, never had me hanging for replies or callbacks, and unlike many other attorneys I interviewed at other firms, she never talked over me/made me feel inferior and was always so patient with regards to any/all questions I had. I always felt respected and kindness in my interactions with her, which is hard to come by in cross-border litigation matters. I was so comforted to have an associate attorney who not only was passionate about my case, but genuinely cared for my well-being as a woman and Canadian citizen. She went the extra mile of throughly researching immigration laws, Canadian law, and jurisdictional disputes in her spare time to insure we covered all our bases in my case. It was such a pleasure working with Britney/Charlotte Christian, and made a challenging time in my life a lot more comfortable. Thank you Britney for everything! - Yurshin Ayuhan Sufi (Now Former Client) Toronto, ON, Canada

Tyler is an awesome attorney, very professional and patient. She is very helpful, and always responded to my calls and emails. My case was successfully resolved in no time. I highly recommend John Butchmiller & Associates LLC for anyone.
