Decedents’ Estates

"I've been a Hoy & Sahlas client since 2012 when Colleen provided counsel representation for the Probate and Estate of my then deceased wife. They have also represented me in real estate closing and Trust & Estate Planning. Needless to say, I've experienced quality counsel from both Colleen Sahlas and David Hoy. They pay careful attention to details and have been very pleasant to work with. I would recommend their Law Firm for personal and business needs."

"When my husband's brother passed away with no Will and leaving behind a HUGE mess of real estate and personal property and complicated financial issues, we were recommended to Colleen Sahlas. She made a situation that was overwhelming so much easier. She is incredibly kind and very efficient. Several complications arose during the probate process, and Colleen handled them with grace and efficiency. A friend at my mother in laws law's church recommended Colleen. We highly recommend Colleen. "

"I have sent Colleen a lot of cases. Everybody I send to Colleen comes back and tells me she was wonderful, she did such a good job she made me feel so comfortable!"

"I, as the executor of an estate knew I needed a qualified lawyer. I called a person who immediately recommended the Law Offices of Hoy & Sahlas. I met with them, and found, to my delight, that they were the lawyers I was looking for. The entire estate was done with utmost care and without delay. I would recommend Colleen Sahlas, who does the highest quality of work, and with complete cooperation at all times! Thank you Colleen for the excellent service rendered."

"I appreciate your help. You folks have been a blessing to me and my family through this difficult time. I know why my Mom trusted you so."

"Thanks for your help in the conclusion of my father's estate. We appreciate the work you did for us but also the manner in which it was done. Our trust is in the same Lord whom you have also testified to serve. That trust gives us considerable comfort. Thanks again. "

"Fellow probate/estate planning attorney here Colleen Sahlas is a valued resource for countless attorneys in the Illinois Bar. She has provided and continues to provide cherished input to myself and my colleagues via seminars, periodicals, panels/forums, as well as personal mentoring. She is one of those special attorneys whose actions make it apparent that she cares about her field and her clients."

"Thankful for you, David E. Hoy, you were there for me at the worst time of my life when I lost my 1st husband and you came at the wake service and preached and then you sent me a book of God's Promises that I read daily while grieving that helped me so much to focus on God! Also you helped my Dad and I with the purchase of (a building) and the church is still going strong . . . for at least 34 years now! May The Lord bless you for being a blessing to me,"

"Colleen, thank you for your patience and for not making this process as intimidating as I feared it might be. I appreciate how well you've explained the steps to me . . . It's really a comfort to work with someone like you. Thank you for all you've done for me this year in terms of guidance, support, and encouragement."

"Just a note to say how very grateful we are for you and the wonderful work you have done for us. It's been a pleasure doing business with a firm of high standards and integrity. Thank you and may you be blessed. "
