Reda Ciprian Magnone, LLC

I am happy to highly recommend the law firm of Reda Ciprian Magnone, LLC. My family recently lost a much loved aunt who was very precise in her business dealings and estate planning. However, when we began the work of probating her estate, we found a few complications that required determined and informed legal advisors. Ed Reda provided that critical advice. From my first phone conversation with him, Ed’s warmth and calming disposition allayed all our concerns and made the process manageable. Christine Travers offered advice and legal services that beautifully complimented Ed’s. The office staff is friendly and competent. The location is convenient and accommodating. We have recommended this firm to friends, and will continue to do so. It was a pleasure working with them.

Christine Travers handled the purchase of my home in Sept. 2015 flawlessly, excellent job!

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.
John was a true advocate in the biggest legal matters of my life. I recommend John with the highest amount of confidence.

Ed Reda is the finest Real Estate Attorney I have ever dealt with. I have used him for years for both residential and commercial property. No nonsense straight shooter that has reasonable rates. My family embraced him over the years and have also used him for wills and other legal advice.

Ed, John and their team have provided me and my family (including a couple of attorneys) with the most thoughtful guidance and friendship on many occasions. These include times of urgent need and the occasions when we just needed another set of (educated) eyes to review and refine important estate planning documents. I cannot think of a better life/​legal adviser that I can recommend than Ed Reda. He is what you are looking for when you need friendly, non-​judgmental legal counsel. Highly recommended !

Ian Fidler handled the closing for my condo which I bought in the middle of April. I was a first time buyer and did not know a lot of stuff, but Ian walked me through the whole process. He explained each and every item in the contract and bylaws. He was quick to response my inquiries and advised at each and every step of the process. He is reliable, knowledgeable and provided us with the best guidance one can expect from a great lawyer. If you are looking for a real estate attorney, I will definitely recommend Ian.

Oddly enough I trusted Unilocal 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 I know his direction. Ed— thank you again and again!

Ed Reda has been a friend for many years and we have had a professional relationship for about the last 10 years. Ed helped me and my siblings navigate the difficult and emotional loss of both of our parents. His professional, expertise, and practical/​honest approach made us all feel comfortable in the end. I highly recommend Ed and his firm to anyone in need of legal services.

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.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Reda Ciprian Magnone multiple times over the past several years. Our experience, in each instance, was outstanding. Unlike a lot of people, we read every word of every document and they answered our questions very honestly and thoroughly. Everyone we’ve worked with, from the office manager to the attorney’s has an incredible sense of customer service. I highly recommend this firm and we will continue working with them for years to come.

Rich Magnone recently helped us out with buying a new condo in Chicago. For first time home-​buyers he provided us with the best possible service, which was underpinned by his clear understanding of contract and property law. The advice that was provided was comprehensive, thorough and made the process smooth and worry free. I would recommend Rich and his team to anyone requiring assistance with property acquisition and contract services.

I am an attorney and have done a few ordinary probate cases without complications but I have not had much experience in complex probate cases. I found myself in a rather complex probate case and needed some assistance. Christine Travers at this firm if very knowledgeable with probate and knew exactly what was needed for my case. Christine is very courteous and helpful and promptly did what was needed for me to complete my case.

I have worked with and for lawyers for the past 15 years and when I needed one to help with a real estate closing I went straight to Rich Magnone. Rich is all the things mentioned in the other reviews, but in addition to legal knowledge, responsiveness, and attention to detail he also has a sense of humor. Most people dealing with legal situations find them stressful and Rich maintains an appropriate level of gravity with a mixture of empathy and levity that helps keep things in perspective. Also, paralegal extraordinaire Joy Luperini is responsive, helpful and happy to explain the mystery that can be some real estate forms. Great team, great experience, happy camper!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ed Reda with Reda Ciprian Magnone. He has provided excellent counsel for my family over the years including reviewing important work contracts, establishing estate planning, closing on our first house, and setting up a business. Not only is Ed Reda knowledgeable of his field, he is very honest, personable, and a great communicator.
Thank you Ed!

I have referred many friends and clients to Rich Magnone. He is a fantastic attorney whether the need is real estate, estate planning or landlord/​tenant law. Definitely a 5-​star review for Rich.

I have worked with Ed Reda and Rich Magnone for various matters. Ed has been a great resource for our family as it pertains to RE Contracts and all matters associated with our personal Estate Planning. They do not over charge for conversations nor provide unnecessary legal counsel to run up fees.
Rich has helped with setup of various tenant leases and is an expert in Chicago RE law for landlords. Very honest group of professionals.

I recently moved away from Chicago and had a security deposit dispute with my past landlord. After exhausting all negotiations on my own, I searched for someone to help recover the deposit. Being in a different state, I needed someone that was familiar with Chicago ordinances and had a solid reputation. I contacted Ian Fidler and was sure glad that I did.
Ian was very professional and handled all communications with my past landlord. He was extremely easy to work with, he knew that I was busy and did not have time for lengthy conversations with him or my past landlord. Without Ian, I never would have been able to get the settlement that I did on my own.

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 combined with a common sense approach have been very helpful for me and my family.

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.

I was referred to Rich Magnone by my Realtor Claudio Varo. Mr. Magnone’s expertise and farsightedness allowed me to get a judgment of ~$ 7600 on a security deposit of $ 2700. With Mr. Magnone’s help and the landlord’s refusal to to follow provisions of the City of Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance, we were able to secure a judgment. We would definitely use him again.
