It might be unprecedented for the City of Chicago to release the CRLTO interest rate BEFORE the new year, but that is what just happened. This rate has remained unchanged since 2015. Here at Reda | Ciprian | Magnone, LLC, we don't represent tenants in residential eviction cases. We help residential landlords.
We help lots of them. We talk to lots of them. We are usually glad to have a quick conversation to see if we are a match for an engagement at no cost. Unfortunately, these are unprecedented times and the laws affecting Illinois landlords and Chicago landlords are complex and they seemingly change daily.

Ed Reda and John Ciprian can put anyone at ease, even in the most complicated circumstance. Ed has been our family attorney for 20 years and provides the careful time to explain in very simple terms, your options, his opinion and in a very matter of fact way, puts you at ease. His follow through is swift, thorough and always in the amount of time budgeted or less. The most down-to-earth friendly attorneys you can find. John has the same demeanor and thoughtfulness as Ed. 5 stars

My mother passed away 2 1/2 years ago. The attorney who wrote her Trust and Will had retired, but still reachable. He suggested we get in touch with Ed Reda. Boy am I glad we did! From the first day we met until the closing of my mother's estate, he always responded quickly when we reached out with questions or concerns. Little did either of us know how challenging the journey would be. When one of the family members became difficult and demanding, he handled it very calmly and with diplomacy. All the while having a good sense of humor with the rest of us. If you ever need an attorney for

There is absolutely no question that I would never enter into any real estate transaction without consulting Ed Reda. All of the legal anxiety is taken out of the equation because I know that Ed has my back. When Ed says he's going to do something, that something is done immediately - not hours or days later. Ed's years of legal experience have turned all of my real estate transactions into a seamless process. Ed Reda and Joy are an invaluable team and I consider myself lucky to have found them.

Ed Reda is an outstanding attorney, and this is a great firm. Ed represented me on two real estate transactions recently, and I couldn't be happier with everything he did. He's very knowledgeable, experienced, accessible, fair and wise. I'm glad he was on my side--Great negotiator! Look no further than Ed Reda.

I needed to update my will and powers of attorney for property and health. I was referred to Ed Reda for his decades of experience. After listening to my wishes he offered a wealth of suggestions that fit what i wanted perfectly. My documents are now configured such that my executor will not have to deal with probate court and all the headaches that accompany going through that process. Ed Reda has allowed me to feel confident and worry free about the future. That is priceless.

Even though I lived in Lake County I decided to use Ed Reda for my recent real estate transaction because he was well known for his expertise in this field. He was professional, compassionate, thorough during the house sale process. I also was impressed with his paralegal, Joy L. This team will have your best interest in mind and will give you solid advice and timely advice. I highly recommend Ed Reda and his legal team.

Ed Reda was my legal counsel for the sale of my home in Park Ridge. He was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, experienced; and most importantly, my advocate. Ed knew where to stand firm on certain issues and where to compromise to ensure the buyers were happy. His staff was efficient and courteous. We had to sign closing docs early and his office was more than accommodating. I would highly recommend using Reda Ciprian Magnone, LLC for your real estate dealings and transactions.

Ed Reda helped my business review and negotiate an industrial space lease. From the beginning Ed explained throughly what each part of the lease meant and suggested several amendments to make it more fair for us, the tenants. He was quick to respond to the landlord via email. I felt like he had our best interests in mind through the entire process. Thanks Ed!

Ed Reda is a stellar attorney, but more importantly, a kind and personable human being. It was a real pleasure to work with Ed to determine the best course of action regarding our estate planning. He was so knowledgeable and helpful as we navigated a sometimes difficult discussion to have around end of life decisions. We wouldn't hesitate to take other business back to Ed and his associates in the future.

Richard Magnone was the best attorney I have ever had represent me in a real estate transaction. I’ve worked with quite a few attorneys and Richard was the most thorough and apt at negotiating terms. He caught quite a few errors from the other side and also fought for and negotiated additional terms and credits I requested even when I was being aggressive. Every concession we asked for - we got - mostly due to Richard’s negotiations. He was also able to explain all the legal jargon very simply and thoroughly. His staff was also very competent and helpful. I will definitely use Richard again

My wife and I worked with Ed on a unique contract - he was succinct, easy to work with and very knowledgeable. He quickly understood our situation and was able to work within our narrow time frame. As first-time home buyers, he was patient with our questions and was always available by phone and email. We highly recommend using Ed and his firm, and will be recommending him to our friends and family.

Rich Magnone is great for landlords. Working with him is like having an encyclopedia of landlord tenant laws at your fingertips. He quickly and cheerfully answers calls and emails. He gives me great advise and keeps me up on the latest rules in Chicago. Also great for suburbs. If he doesn't have the answer he gives great referrals too. I been working with him for many years and I highly recommend him.

I recently purchased an apartment and my real estate agent recommended I use Rich Magnone as my attorney. Following his guidance, I used Rich and couldn't have been happier. All of Rich's work was done well and it all got taken care of promptly.
My old landlord was arguing that I would owe fees to end my lease early, but after consulting Rich he was able to get me off the hook and had an assortment of backup plans should I need a way to break my old lease early.
When it came time to close on the apartment, Rich patiently went over all the documents with me and it was very evident that

I will never forget attending my first real estate closing. Through the course of exchanging and reviewing documents, my attorney, John Ciprian, noticed a PIN did not match one of the documents, and the seller's attorney dropped his jaw, looked straight at John, and said, you just saved me a lawsuit.
He also saved me the hassle of a lawsuit.
John also gave me great advice on a family matter. I highly value his representation. He holds the utmost standards of professionalism and ethical behavior, and displays expert knowledge of the law.

Oddly enough I trusted Yelp for a referral to this Law Office. After seeing the amount of positive reviews and the 5 star rating, I made a call to get set up for my sick husband and I to get our wills done. I was put through to Ed and he immediately made me feel like family. He is kind, a great listener and a thoughtful communicator. We set up a meeting and connected on all things we were interested in having documented and then some. I can't tell you enough how much he made an uncomfortable conversation like a will, trust or power of attorney feel. I am so grateful and will gladly refer anyone

Ed Reda has been our lawyer for over 30 years. When my parents needed legal assistance, I had them meet with Ed. My aunt recently passed away and my mother was the executor of the will. The whole process was overwhelming for my 85 year old mother. Ed met with my parents, and immediately put them at ease. My parents were very impressed by his professionalism plus he is genuinely a nice guy. Ed also helped them with settling some issues with their own estate planning. They were equally impressed with Joy, who assisted Ed Reda in the process.

I found myself being denied a security deposit to which I was entitled, and as I tried to find out more information online the web site for the firm was especially useful. I spoke with Rich Magnone and in a brief conversation he was incredibly helpful. I was able to resolve the issue with an appropriate letter.
Since then I have hired Rich to draft estate documents for my family. I was impressed with his attention to detail. He anticipated many of my needs, and made the entire process an easy one. I look forward to using him in the future for real estate and family matters. His broad knowledge

The more you work with Rich Magnone, the easier it is to see why he is such an excellent attorney. Rich possesses a rare combination. In all of my dealings with him, he has demonstrated a thorough knowledge and expertise of the law while taking the time to explain it in layman's terms. I highly recommend anyone to call him regarding their real estate needs.
