About

When I graduated from law school, I decided to start practicing my law. Without a client, without an office, without a practical knowledge of becoming a lawyer, I dealt with every case I could imagine. A few years later, I decided to focus my practice on real estate, small business, will and trust. 15 years later, we have been successful in supporting customers' real estate closure, small and medium businesses, limited companies, and livelihood trusts by honestly, and very quickly, honestly, and sincerely resolving their legal needs.

Established in 1995

Especialities

For over 20 years, I have been helping customers meet all the real estate needs. I represent both buyers and sellers of apartments, houses and multi-unit buildings across the Chicago area

My real estate lawyer chose. Highly appreciates his skills, knowledgeable and sensitive
efficient purchase and sale

John worked with his fiancee and I bought my first house. He was the asset of us in the process. He answered all our questions quickly and looked forward to our ending. We couldn't recommend him enough.

In the past five years, Jonathan has used six of his property deals and plans. His professionalism, responsiveness, friendliness, and expertise are very great. recommend him without hesitation

Jonathan enjoyed working together. Very sensitive and friendly. The close was really good with the first shopping experience. I'd recommend it to anyone!

My husband and I used Jonathan Aben to both sell our apartment and buy a new house. Jonathan was great to work with and we highly recommend him! He was as agile and knowledgeable as Jonathan was before. If you call the real estate lawyer again, Jonathan will definitely use it!

We found Yelp John in the first home purchase. And it turns out to be the right choice.
John's most visible feature of his work is his sense of urgency in everything. He always sends back an email when something happens within one or two hours.  I'm sure John would be recommended to anyone who wants to buy
real estate as soon as possible because I'd like to close the deal as soon as possible.

p.s. He looks better in person than Yelp's profile image: P

Our real estate agent recommended Jonathan to buy our first home.  That was a great recommendation.  Jonathan,  It's fun to do a great job together, very sensitive, explaining each step of the process.  I strongly recommend him.

Working with Jonathan was a wonderful experience. His communication ability was as good as anyone else, and he always had time for us. I didn't feel like rushing or asking too much. Our apartment has received a great special evaluation that Jonathan was able to help negotiate an escrow account to help pay. The first buyer is obviously a stressful process, but I am very grateful to Jonathan for his reassurance. His support at the closing time was great, he was supportive of all important information and was capable of covering it in a light-hearted manner. Jonathan recommends anyone who wants to establish a relationship with a trusted lawyer.

I'm a real estate agent in Chicago, and I've ended countless real estate deals. During my career, John was chosen as a lawyer for my clients. Through our dealings, he was very professional, knowledgeable and very sensitive.

I recently bought a condominium in Chicago, so I naturally asked for a representative. After working with him on the other side of the table, I am confident in his ability. The deal didn't go smoothly and it took only 40 minutes to close, so most of the time the title companies were processing the documents. First-time home buyers and experienced professionals should be Jonathan Aben a real estate lawyer.

Jonathan was looking forward to working with him. He represented me when he bought his first house. He was a professional who quickly responded to all my emails, looked at details, understood and satisfied with the contract deadline.  He made it very easy and easy to manage the first person to buy at home.

This man knows how to do things. We used Jonathan to close the store in March 2017 and he worked together wonderfully. This was helpful for a seamless way through the process, and a fun man helped me close with a smile. Never ask yourself again. Answer the phone and call him right now.

I've been working with Jonathan for 16 years and I'm not working with anyone else.  He is very good at his own work, and the repetition of time and reactivity are incomparable.  Recently, he added a real estate plan to his business with Jonathan, but he's as good a person as he does in real estate.  He enjoys working together, above all.  I don't feel sorry for choosing Jonathan.

If you're looking for the best service, you can't see it anymore. Jonathan helped me with questions and difficult situations that I faced through recent purchases. We were able to respond quickly, early in the morning and late in the morning. Not only did I lead me as needed, but I was able to respond quickly to urgent requests. If you value experience, knowledge, professionalism and attention, Jonathan is your partner.

As a buyer, we will consider Jonathan's number 2.  The shop is still smooth and efficient, despite the fact that it is locked in by the lender.  I was finally able to meet him at the closing of the shop today and he is a kind man who knows his things.  Recommended!

This is the second time I've worked with Jonathan, and this time I'm more impressed. He is very efficient and helpful. He actively communicated his actions and detailed all of the process. He replies to the email immediately. Actually, I don't know when this man will sleep...Ha! If you're looking for a real estate lawyer in Chicago, I definitely recommend it.

Jonathan was great at working together when he bought our apartment.  He was very sensitive (day or night), frank, and confident in his advice.  When he encountered a delay, he was able to get through the punch and saw that he had finished buying it to the end. He received all the rates he had said in advance.  I am looking forward to working with Jonathan for my next sales and purchase.

As the first home buyer, Jonathan's dream came true. He took time to explain everything and made sure that he was satisfied with all the pieces of paper he signed. He worked seamlessly with real estate agents and sellers and quickly worked as a professional in communication with us.

Jonathan is strongly recommended and will not hesitate to call him again for another real estate purchase.

Jonathan has just closed his new house in Chicago and I can recommend him very much. He knew the nuances of the contract and was always available.

Answer questions quickly and easily.

We have given our property to you, and we have done a great deal of work.

Jonathan helps his wife and closes his first house.
Even when I was in bed, I always replied to my email quickly.
He also thoroughly examined all the documents to obtain better conditions.
Jonathan is a good choice for anyone looking for a great real estate lawyer.

Jonathan is the top real estate lawyer I worked with. He is as sensitive as a professional. I recommend him to whoever is looking for a lawyer in this field.

I have used Jonathan's legal services for both the creation of LLC and recent home purchases. It's a very modest thing to say that my experience is positive. He is the most capable and skilled lawyer I have ever met. He handled my case as hard as he could and took pains to get the right solution. Jonathan is a doctrine-centric expert with a pure desire to deliver remarkable results to his customers. We can't find lawyers with higher motivation and better skills.

After taking ownership of the first house, Jonathan took great care in detail, answered all emails at various times within 30 minutes, and fixed some amendments to his property contracts that would suit the buyer. His experience with his colleagues reassured me in a relatively small city.

Jonathan was great to work with. When I first entered the delivery phase, John helped me and some of the problems that made me more understandable.  He answered the questions quickly and we answered a lot.  At the end, I noticed that the numbers didn't match, so it helped me get more money than I thought. Much more to explain to a sales lawyer than to other lawyers, but he wanted the most for his clients. It is highly recommended for those who buy and sell real estate in Chicago

Assess service and experience in 5 stars. This was my second time using Jonathan Aben, and I was not disappointed. Jonathan was an important factor in getting my deal done on time, and in keeping the seller from using me while negotiating shopping at home. Jonathan is one of the most demanding professionals in the business, with a very reasonable price, the highest integrity and ethics, and 110% effort. The evidence is in the pudding. I introduced more than four friends and co-workers to Jonathan and they repeated the same comments and opinions. Jonathan recommends anyone who wants to work with the most professional and best people in the industry, and is looking forward to working with him in the future.

Jonathan enjoyed working together and had a very good shopping experience.  He worked hard to explain all the documents he needed, especially in compiling an estimate of the closing costs.  When there was some confusion with the seller, Jonathan was very careful and expressed his genuine concern over the best interests of his client.

I listened to my advice, hired John again, and bought and sold two real estate deals.  He sets the standard for this business.  It really means to bring competent, unnonsense, but familiar lawyers on your side.  I will continue to go ahead of him for future real estate transactions.

My experience is very similar to the reviews of first-time residents. I decided to focus on the problem when I was working with Jonathan mainly to separate this review...

Nothing.

I worked with John and worked on buying a recent apartment in Backtown. John took one step ahead of the entire buying process. He first outlined everything he needed and reminded everyone that he was still a few days behind the deadline to ensure the process went smoothly. I was very satisfied with how sensitive John responded through this process. John would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer to help them buy residential property.

I can't say enough about Jonathan! ! We received high acclaim and recommendation from mortgage brokers and bought a new house in the absence of Jonathan.
At the first call, Jonathan answers my first question of who he really works with, and does professional work. This diligent attitude did not change during the buying process. I didn't need to ask him much. for he was always on the way to send us emails. At 4:30 a.m! We were wondering what was going on. Jonathan also organized the documents and made proposals that added value to what we don't know.

Anyone looking for a professional, diligent, and detailed real estate lawyer would recommend Jonathan! !! Thank you, Jonathan!

So some of the growing adult processes have to face a harsh reality that does not always protect the earth. That's why it's time to do a hard job to organize your work.

My private life is a bit complicated. I want to make it clear who (especially who) got the Jo W Empire, or not. Jonathan helped me build a will and a trust, so I say: It would be easy if you stopped putting off and actually sat down.

All the orders are now in order. A clear will, an advanced command, a trust, my property, and property were transferred to the trust, and other necessary contributions were connected. I don't think there'll be any legal fight about my things if I get caught by the bus tomorrow. Or my property is iron clothes, and I shut out people who like to sue.

Jonathan is a great place to work with a lawyer who is very easy to work with and a good personality. When he forgot to return the original of something important, he followed me. We also discuss what we actually need and what we don't need. From my personal standpoint, we took the right path.

I don't think I'll care about my death (and wait a very long time from now on), but now I'm concerned about everything.

Jonathan worked with us last month to close two real estate in Chicago, and it was great to work together.  We live outside the state, but he made the process smooth and quickly responded to our emails and was always in the best condition.  And all his introductions were great and we worked with them in this deal.  On the whole, with much easier experience than we thought, we thank him!  We will definitely contact him in the future.

Jonathan was a lawyer at my closing shop last month (cash transactions, new construction apartments) and I realized he was very sensitive, systematic, patient and expert.  
The price is clear, along with the market price.  As with

service providers, it is important to read and understand what you receive.  When I asked or asked his opinion, Jonathan answered quickly. He was not unusual because he was up at dawn  I send an email at night and get a nice reply in the morning.

He will send you everything you need before closing.  For example, in my case, the lawyer of the seller had withdrawn the letter of credit Jonathan had demanded during his trial.  When Jonathan said it, the seller's lawyer asked for evidence that we had demanded it.  Jonathan quickly turned the page - boom!

This is a great recommendation and I'll try again.

Jonathan helped me with the three deadlines and everything went well. He made the process easy.

Only using Jonathan to close the store made his process as transparent as possible, opaque and irritating. He creates a table with intelligence, experience and incredible accessibility. He does not hesitate to recommend him.

Patient, expert, true problem-solving.  Jonathan represents both the sale and purchase of our residential real estate transaction...  Because the buyer's settlement problem was not a smooth process at the seller's side, it was very fortunate to have a conference until the two companies were able to make a deal.  He had a very good response to email and phone calls and had the opportunity to hear our opinions and concerns throughout the process.  Jonathan is a real estate lawyer and I recommend it without hesitation!

Jonathan recently helped me sell a Chicago apartment. It was the first time for him to be on the seller's side, and he helped me a lot in teaching me the process. I was shocked several times during the closing of the shop, and Jonathan gave me an education and made me understand my options. He liked to write down all his documents himself so he could reconfirm the details, he replied quickly and felt like I was his only client. I can't recommend him enough.

Jonathan passed through the closure of my old and new houses with my husband's guidance. The entire process was seamless from beginning to end, and prompted to answer the questions and request documents. The closing of the document was a simple, fun, fun one. We will re-hire Jonathan for future home purchases.

Jonathan dealt with my new apartment purchase. He was very sensitive and called on me to explain it carefully. Everything went well.

When he closed his first apartment in 2004, he hired Jonathan as a lawyer and consulted Jonathan as his landlord. Jonathan offers excellent advice, knowledge, usability and responsiveness. Recently, when he needed legal advice for an unpleasant tenant, he was very generous, even though I haven't worked with him for years. His kindness, attentive ear and sense of humor are the best things to work with Jonathan. These qualities are highly valued in stressful situations, so if you need a real estate lawyer, do not look at anything other than Jonathan Aven. I strongly recommend his service and advice!

My wife & amp; I've been involved in several real estate deals with Jonathan for several years.  He responds quickly to our inquiries and overall gives us confidence in the handling of the real estate we are looking for.

Many reviews appear to be from the buyer.  From the seller's point of view, Jonathan is wonderful.  We lived at home for more than 30 years, so the sales process was a bit scary.  The answer to the question became faster (I wondered if he was asleep) and everything went well.  He is clearly "aware of his possessions" and is not "legitimate" to deal with.  Use it!

It was wonderful to work with Jonathan.  He was my closing lawyer (bought a condominium in downtown Chicago).  He was very agile when he contacted the store by email.  If I had any questions, Jonathan replied very quickly and gave a detailed explanation.  My only feedback was that I should have given a brief introduction and explanation about the legal documents he sent me, about what, for what, for what, for what, what, for what.  Jonathan did it all during the closing.  The meeting went very smoothly through each document that explained who they were, what was important, and all the charges one by one.  He managed to have a good time without feeling stress.  I will definitely work with him again and recommend him too!

The first time a house buyer bought a house, 99% of the initial purchase process did not know. When Jonathan made me his client, everything changed. Not only does he respond quickly to any problem, he also looks forward to working consistently to fulfill all his promises. a fair price Thank you for your hard work. I'm really glad I put him in my team.

Jonathan represented his wife and me at the end of July, both in our sales and purchases. This is the first time I've bought a new construction, and Jonathan reassured us. He is very learned, patient, and careful. In many commentaries, he says that he thinks you are his only client. If I could afford to buy another house, I would like to use him again. Don't miss the opportunity to work with Jonathan!

John dealt with my closure in a two-story apartment in the city.  My broken lawyer was clearly on his head, so he was called to me.  He saved the deal!  Throughout the process, John was agile, professional, and most importantly, had a knowledge of the law, and of many of the pitfalls peculiar to the real estate business in Chicago.  I strongly recommend John!

I use John only for the legal needs of the real estate. He finished shopping in several houses for me. He is always working and always looks useful to answer questions. He connects with customers and makes the process of buying and selling real estate very easy.

Jonathan was a great lawyer to work with.  He quickly answered our questions and questions and told us how to go when he first bought a condominium.  In particular, I strongly recommend using him when you are the first buyer.

I worked with Jonathan while I finished my apartment in Chicago. Jonathan answered with no exception, in substance and swiftness whenever I needed him or had any questions. He showed a clear and detailed understanding of the process. I bought at home for the first time, but Jonathan's excellent handling of individual steps enabled a relatively unconcerned exit process. His wit and personal fun added lightness to the paper pile showing another. Jonathan and his company are highly recommended.

We used Jonathan to help close both the sales of old houses and the purchase of new ones.  Up to the end, Jonathan answered many of our questions quickly and bent back to make sure that our end had come to an end.  He helped me to do emergency business with the new seller. Therefore, due to the delay in the evaluation process, it was necessary to postpone the final decision immediately before closing, so we could move before closing.  As a result, we were able to spend Thanksgiving, not a motel, in the new house.

Jonathan is knowledgeable and experienced and his fees are very affordable.  When I think of the time we were working on each other's ending, I feel that I have fled by stealing.  If you need a real estate agent in the future, I will always call Jonathan so I recommend it to anyone.

Jonathan is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. He answered almost instantly (during the vacation - without doubt what I had not thought) and was very polite. During the sales process, less than 100% was guaranteed because Jonathan was fully trusted. And all ended perfectly thanks to his efforts he offered.

I worked with John for more than 10 years, and I haven't worked with a full-time real estate lawyer like him yet.  It is the only lawyer that takes more than 10 days before the deadline to inform customers of the time required for the deadline.  He has a very comprehensive understanding of the inside and outside of real estate transactions with appropriate expectations.  Don't use anything but John!

Jonathan was a lawyer who sold our house in July 2014.  He was always sensitive, professional, and knowledgeable. He recorded multiple dates and tests and always gave sound advice. We are very pleased with him and want to highly value him!

John helped me to close the apartment.  He answered me quickly, and was quick and evidently learned.  On the closing day he came very ready  He was able to answer all my questions well and explained a lot of things that I didn't want to ask.  Choosing a lawyer who knows a lot about Cook County was a very good decision like John. because he knew exactly what to look for and helped to find some mistakes.

I was hired by a friend to Lek to close the property  The response by phone or email is very fast.  Everything went smoothly.

Jonathan has been processing documents for SMEs for more than three years, so it's really fun to work with them.  If you call him, you won't have time to call him or contact him.  The prompt, efficient legal advice and direct guidance we receive when we have recently grown and merged with another company is what we received.  

I think it's very difficult to find the ability to do this service anywhere in Chicago at this price unless your relatives do it.

Jonathan was a great champion in the process of buying and closing at our home. He was diligent in all communication (both our and the seller lawyers), quickly (respond quickly and consistently to emails and voice mail starting at 4:30), familiar with opportunities and pitfalls, and acquired a wealth of knowledge about this journey. Jonathan and his services are highly recommended! !

We used Jonathan to close our first house. He looked forward to working together and gave us a sense of security through a difficult process. He sympathized with the questions we asked immediately. I recommend him to everyone and I would like to use him in the future.
It's a really wonderful experience. Thank you, Jonathan! !

We have been talking to Jonathan via email for several weeks until the shop is closed. We were so much looking forward to the money-lending promise that he came in with a big smile and a cheap lawyer joke that reassured us. He focused, enjoyed the end, excited and humorous. Through the process of the end, he was careful, agile, and we endured endless questions and actively worked on our busy schedule. We felt lucky that the first house was closed and became a member of his team.

I definitely recommend Jonathan as a real estate lawyer.  The first person to buy is limited in real estate experience.  But Jonathan has been strongly recommended by several other advisors and has lived up to his reputation.

He was agile, professional, and aggressive, and led a seamless process to close.  He was careful about the details and always made the line of communication clear early.  Looking for legal representatives and comparing them with the others he met while working with the other lawyer, Jonathan certainly got up and proved his decision to work with him.

Jonathan says it directly, tells it, and explains it in simple words. He has been practicing for a while, and it shows. He really cares about his customers and wants to make sure they are getting legal documents as they say. I was overwhelmed by the first person to buy it at home, but Jonathan came in and made everything as easy as possible. He has a wonderful personality...He is calm and has a great sense of humor. I can't say anything bad about him. Choose Jonathan if you don't want to waste any shopping experience at home.

Jonathan did a great job at the cornering of our house. He was sensitive to our needs and was active during negotiations with the seller.  He communicated well everywhere and led us to close down efficiently.  We don't hesitate to use him again and unconditionally recommend him.

Jonathan was recommended by a friend who used him to buy a house before. I used Jonathan to buy a new apartment. Jonathan had a great time communicating with him by buying a new site and explaining all the details of it. He worked hard on the developer's lawyer to get everything he had promised from the developer. Jonathan was very patient and detailed when he was able to work very well and when he closed, when he looked at all the documents. I'd like to recommend Jonathan to a friend who buys a new house.

I started using John for my will and trust in 2007. He is good at follow-up and follow-through. Since then, I've had two more children and received a lot of changes.

I'm looking forward to seeing us work together.

Jonathan has been under the legal need for me in recent years.  I used him for several real estate transactions, my family's will, my letter of attorney, and my business's company.   I've always liked Jonathan's work.   He gets things done quickly and demands fair wages for his work.   I want to encourage everyone to use Jonathan's service.  I'm glad to work with him.

Jonathan was recommended by my real estate agent and I couldn't get good luck. He was true and useful, satisfied with my decision, and showed me what was most important.
When I got all the documents to go shopping and felt a little bit uneasy, I felt that I was able to deepen his confidence.
I closed the shop two months ago, and I am still helping myself to answer the buyer's first question. He is quite interesting, has a loose personality, and it helps to reassure you.

Jonathan's reaction was very timely and personal, he helped a lot to buy a bank owned real estate that took a confusing time. He kept in touch with the seller many times when he didn't answer. When the closing time came, he was very patient and thoroughly explained everything to us. He enjoyed his company while waiting for a very long time until the seller was over by the close!

Anyone can introduce to Jonathan who needs a good real estate lawyer!   Six years ago I sold my apartment here and helped me buy a new one last month.   He responds quickly, is caught up in the situation, understands things, helps to close things, not to feel stress.   By the way, his talent is growing beyond real estate. He also did a great job, helping me review my employment contracts.

Jonathan may be the best experience with a lawyer. My wife and I reviewed the contract with our builder in need of his expertise. I was deeply impressed by the critical review of Jonathan's contract and pointed out many of the things that gave me very good advice. His response was always thorough and convenient. He is a very intelligent man and a straight shooter.  On another occasion, when there was a financial dispute over a common fence, I asked Jonathan's advice. After all, he didn't deal with the incident, but he divided the 30 to 40 minutes period of cheerfulness into two talks with me and said, "No charge" to me even if I asked. Aven is very skilled, but he knows when to call someone to another place...I respect him. he said. A sharp, calm man and a straight shooter. Jonathan is an honor of his profession. Thank you.

Jonathan handled the closing of the house I bought.  He was very sensitive from beginning to end.  He replied to my email in a few hours, eager to make sure I was scattered and that I had a T-line.  I couldn't make my point of view smoother.  He reassured all the processes, and we felt safe and confident that everything would go smoothly.  I will definitely use him again and now I will use him for the property plan and will.  It's rare to find a lawyer you like!
