Gloria and the whole team at NextLevel Law was truly amazing in handling my case. From the beginning they were very responsive and professional anytime I had a question or concern. Working with Gloria was easy and she explained everything thoroughly after each court date. I can tell she is very knowledgeable in her field as well as empathetic with her clients. I will be recommending them to anyone that needs these services. Thank you!

Daniel Hernandez is one of the most arrogant people I have ever chatted with. In 2024 i was stupid enough to pay this guy a fee to bid a flat rate for my contested divorce. He took 2-4 weeks to actually bid his rate after i initially contacted his fantastic dream team. After the bidding was done I nicely explained that his final flat fee for the final court hearing needed to be defined in a more precise manner because his vague bid of $10,000 per day was totally unjustified because every trial judge has different amount of court time for their specific courtroom. I asked him to provide the rates for half days , 1/4 days etc. This was totally reasonable on my part because his original flat rate for months before the trial was monthly and much less. His entire concept of getting involved in the case was on a limited scope basis so he could milk clients for the final week of billing which on average when you do the math comes to $400 to $1000 per hour . He makes Ridiculous statements to cover his high rates such as there is three hours of research time for every actual one hour of court time. He sounds like an average car salesman at best and I could see right through his silly billing arrangement to milk clients totally and make him look cheap and reasonably costing. Daniel does not have that many years of experience and has not attended a prestigious law school to charge Steve type of ridiculous rates. The bare Milagro best a top divorce farm in Illinois and has staff are superior to him and they charge about 350 an hour to 400 an hour. His rates are completely unfair, and he has a very arrogant man for thinking that he is worth more or the same as a Bierman attorney. Also paying an attorney to cherry pick the case and toss out a flat rate is borderline unethical. I also don’t appreciate him wasting my time telling me that his office lady would give specific rates for the final trial. He also had other fixed rates mixed into his monthly and daily rates so it’s very difficult to compare his price action to anougher legal firm. But I have to hand it to him he is a robotic machine that probably has made himself Multibillionaire thru very little effort and low case volume. The part of his quotation where he doesn’t even agree to rep you for the final trial flat rate that was the final flat rate is borderline unethical. Most decent flat rate attorneys charge like $3000 to $5000 per day. Is $10,000 per day is totally ridiculous and he does not deserve this kind of money even if he went to Yale law school which he did not go to. I believe he went to John Marshall which is mostly at night school or school of that level. And the fact that he chooses to only handle divorce cases shows that this man has no work ethic whatsoever, and he’s basically milking himself a segment, where people are very ignorant, and he can take advantage of them. I get nauseous, thinking of his argumentation and sales routine. He almost sounds like a pimp, trying to get the most money for his goods. Having a monthly flat rate and then changing to a daily rate for trials that could be less then 2 hours per day ( which would be four hours x 4 ) which would be more then 1000 per hour .for example If the trial was 7 hours per day this would be $10,000 for 28 hours ( including your prep time ) This would equate to $357/ hr. Your flat rate is therefore totally unfair . Please don’t distort my words . Some judges have 4 hour days , some have 7 hour days ( this means your giving clients 16 hours to 28 hours of service per day ) therefore I asked you to give an hourly rate or flat rate for 1/4 days 1/2 days or simply be fair about it. ( either doing it by the hour or modifying your daily flat rate. Also a daily flat rate and providing pretrial Flat rate of such different amounts cannot really be considered a total charge of flat rates. You have to start at the situation to make you seem like you’re cheap when you are not.

I am incredibly grateful for Daniel’s help and vast knowledge of family law. He exhibited the perfect balance between professionalism and kindness. I also appreciated his patience and willingness to answer all of my questions and ensure that I left our conversation with a peace of mind. Due to his guidance, I am able to take the best course of action and do so with confidence.

I sought Daniel’s guidance in evaluating legal options for a moving relocation issue. I was incredibly impressed with him and his team. I found them honest, responsive, and professional. In every conversation, I felt Daniel was offering perspective with my best interests in mind which I found extremely comforting. He was patient and answered all my questions and was willing to work with me to find a solution tailored to my specific needs. I’d fully recommend him and his team if you’re looking for an unbiased and client-centered approach. It can be a real pain to deal with these issues, and it was nice to feel like I could trust Daniel and his team right from the jump to help me determine the right next steps.

Would you like pay someone for providing absolutely no services? This is the guy. Not only do they violate HIPPA by emailing you other peoples cases and then remanding you for not following up when it has nothing to do with your case, but they also never have time for you. They rarely respond to emails. If you want to speak with them you would have to wait weeks to get an appointment. They literally switched my lawyer three times and each time they were completely unaware of the case so they would have to ask for continuances as they were unprepared, but they also charge you 1000 a month stating it’s a very complicated case. They were my lawyers since April and have yet to have anything accomplished. I literally had to find all the information for them as every little thing was an additional cost. I provided them information and each call they stated oh sorry I haven’t reviewed it. You ask for copies of paperwork and they don’t provide. I finally changed lawyers and they took an additional 500 out of my account for an emergency motion that we never were told a cost for. They basically steal your money for doing nothing. Literally I paid for three months of them just saying sorry we couldn’t serve her. Three months of just stating we can’t serve her with divorce paperwork. These people are just there to take your money and provide no service. Save your time and find a good lawyer.
