Cory D.
I am deeply grateful to Johann and Mina for their exceptional support during a challenging period. Their expertise in navigating the probate process for my aunt’s estate was invaluable, and their assistance with acquiring my new home was equally commendable. Johann and Mina’s dedication to their work truly makes a difference, and it’s individuals like them that make the world a better place. They are truly doing the Lord's work. Thank you both!

We found the law office of Johann Chau through Legalease service. We found him to be friendly, easy to communicate with (primarily online) and willing to answer any and all questions we had. Mina was very helpful with keeping the timeline moving right along. As the process of creating a trust progressed, Mr. Chau explained alternative ways of completing it and advised us on what would be most in our favor. I feel that we received what we were looking for and it was well worth it.
Vince C.
We hired Johann and team to do a will and trust. It was done professionally and timely. Mina was so nice and called us to remind what we needed to bring ahead of our meetings to ensure maximum efficiency. Will hire them again! They even gave us a cute binder with all the materials printed. Yes, they do reject clients if you don't have your act together. So go in prepared!
William C.
We were referred to Mr. Chau for estate planning through our legal benefit plan. We dealt with Mr. Chau and his paralegal, Mina and the whole process was done very quickly, efficiently and professionally. They are answered all our questions, and they have a very good online system for questions and draft review. Very nice people too. Definitely recommend.

Johann Chau did our Trust, Guardianship, Advance Directives, etc. Took our MetLife insurance. I loved the fact that everything was electronic… filling out forms, secure transfer, etc. Worked quickly and good communication about timeline. I started this process with another firm before finding Mr Chau and was so glad I moved on to him. This was much more efficient and I feel confident about the documents. Clear communication about expectations on both sides and very professional.
Thomas D.
We worked with Johann through the process of buying our first house. Johann was very communicative and understanding with us throughout the process. He took time to explain the contract and our options in a straightforward manner and helped us navigate through multiple challenges. We definitely will work with him again.

Johann is a very knowledgeable real estate attorney! He did his best to protect our interests. And I truly appreciated hearing from him from time to time during this stressful buying process, “do whatever is best for you, there are plenty of condos in Chicago to buy.” From my experience as a first time homebuyer, nothing is more important and reassuring than having a lawyer who doesn’t shy away from giving honest inputs and the pros and cons of each decision!
Jimmy M.
Johann helped me to transfer property into my trust, and did so without any issues. On the original call, he detailed very clearly what the timeline would be, what steps would need to be taken, and what the total costs would be. Nothing hidden and no additional surprises during the process. Everything was done very professionally and I can tell that he reviews documents very carefully. The first time I had documents notarized, he noticed minor inconsistencies that some may have overlooked but he caught and had them re-notarized so that no future legal issues may arise. Also, the man is a public notary himself, so he can assist with that if needed. Would gladly work with him again.

I worked with Johann to sell a condo in Chicago. He is amazing through every step of the process. He also was in-network for legal services (a perk through my employer) and the process was simple and straight forward. He was always responsive and I had the BEST experience with him!
Johann is organized and really understands the real-estate market well.
While researching lawyers, it was important to me to work with one that has extensive experience with Real-Estate -- and that is Johann!
SF O.
Johann helped with closing my first home purchase and was on top of following up with all the details. He was exceptional along with my awesome realtor and lender. Such a great team! He explained what I would be expecting at the closing and chimed me in on the status of my loan as well. Thank you Johann!!! I highly recommend his services!
Megan M.
We used the Law Office of Johann Chau for our home buying process. They were exceptional throughout the entire process and were very detail oriented. Being 1st time home buyers, we were anxious to miss something, but Mr. Chau and team showed us the entire process and walked us through every step. We'd highly recommend Mr. Chau for any legal services needed in the Chicagoland area!

Elle M.
I had an excellent experience working with Attorney Chau & Mina on my will and trust. They were professional, patient, and extremely knowledgeable—taking the time to explain every detail in a way that was easy to understand. I truly appreciated how organized and thorough they were, making what could’ve been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. I now have peace of mind knowing everything is in order. I highly recommend Attorney’s Chau to anyone looking for trusted estate planning services.
