Jayaraman Law’s reputation is built upon the services and advice that we have given to our past clients. Our focus continues to be the attention we dedicate to each of our client’s unique circumstances and legal needs. Though our confidence speaks for itself, we want you to hear how clients talk about us.
Here is what our clients have to say.
I’ve had a really great experience working with Jayaraman Law. They’ve helped me a ton with business related matters and are always super responsive. Communication is great and they genuinely answer whenever I call. They’re always happy to help and it never feels like an inconvenience to reach out, which is a huge relief when you’re already dealing with stressful stuff. They stay calm, explain things in a way that makes sense. Having someone this reliable in my corner has made a big difference and I’d definitely recommend Jayaraman Law.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with my estate planning attorney Mr. Shekar Jayaraman and his wonderful team, including Elizabeth and Sabrina, on my estate planning.
Over the course of about one month, they helped me build a living trust that is both comprehensive and thoughtfully structured, providing a strong sense of security and clarity. What stood out most was the team’s efficiency and professionalism. It was truly impressive.
From the very first consultation, when I had little understanding of what a living trust entailed, all the way through the final signing ceremony, they guided me with exceptional patience and care. They explained complex legal concepts in clear, plain language, making the entire process approachable and stress-free. Every document came with a well-organized summary explaining its purpose and how it fits into the overall plan, which I greatly appreciated. Their attention to detail and client-first mindset were evident throughout.
I am truly grateful to Shekar and his entire team for their dedication, thoughtfulness, and efficiency. I highly recommend this team to anyone seeking thorough and trustworthy estate planning services.
Incredible Legal Guidance and Peace of Mind
I was introduced to Shekar through a fellow Chicago Booth classmate, and I couldn’t be more grateful. His colleague, Charlie McElvenny, took on my case involving a complex founder dispute and guided me through a clean and secure exit.
What stood out was not just their legal expertise, but how they removed the stress from the process so I could stay focused on running my business. Charlie offered steady, practical, and strategic advice, never overcomplicating things, and always keeping my long-term interests in view. Thanks to their counsel, I was able to reach full ownership of my company with clear terms and no lingering legal exposure.
If you’re a founder, entrepreneur, or business owner navigating sensitive partnership or equity issues, I highly recommend Jayaraman Law. They’re thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely on your side.
We were referred to Shekar by a family friend after our brother passed away in Chicago due to the distance involved. It was immensely advantageous to have Shekar nearby and have him be able to support us in every facet during the establishment of the estate and eventually closing out the estate due to it being in the State of Illinois and the town of Chicago! (talk about a tough town to get things done in a timely and correctly fashion!) Shekar and his team were successful and very supportive in their efforts to get the estate closed in a timely fashion. We were VERY pleased with their support!
Working with Shekar was a pleasure. I truly enjoyed our discussions during the estate close-out. I would HIGHLY recommend Shekar Jayaraman (and his team) for any of your legal efforts.
The team at Jayaraman Law was integral in the legal side of selling my home. They caught crucial mistakes in legal documents from the buyer’s side which saved me money, time, and stress. The team kept an open line of communication during the process. If you value low stress and effective communication, I recommend hiring Jayaraman Law.
We were referred the Shekar by our Financial Advisor to get our Will and Trust set up. We are so grateful to work with someone as kind and knowledgable as Shekar. He is very responsive, professional, and will go out of his way to make sure you understand the ins and outs of legal documents. We feel very well taken care of!
I’ve worked with Shekar since he began his firm over ten years ago. Initially, I would connect him to professional and personal friends who required legal services related to estate planning, family law, and real estate. Given his significant depth and breadth of these matters, he would either advise or point them to a trusted colleague.
His sense of urgency, knowledge, and kindness is why I keep returning to Shekar and his firm. Fast forward to a few months ago when we were buying our house in Illinois. Shekar provided a white glove experience, and we did not stress about the outcomes. With his vast experience and matter-of-fact attitude, he quickly identified red- and yellow-flags, swiftly implemented solutions with the other party, and shared resources within his trusted network.
A typically stressful situation actually became fun! We were able to move into our home knowing we were covered. Going forward, I’ll continue to reach out to Shekar for estate planning, real estate matters, and other legal needs. I cannot recommend Shekar and his firm enough.
If you’re looking for world-class legal representation with the rare personal touch of feeling safe, supported and thoroughly protected throughout the process, Shekar and his team are truly the Gold Standard.
I’ve known Shekar personally for over 10 years. In addition to being an incredibly warm and highly-intelligent man, he’s always held himself to the highest standard – not only with ensuring his clients achieve the results they want, but – even more importantly – with his personal integrity.
I recently came to him seeking support with a tight-turn, unique situation, and experienced his legal acumen and high-touch client care firsthand. He struck the perfect balance of detail-oriented approach with the legal aspects pared with a broad, knowledgeable perspective of the situation as plus the steps required to navigate through it successfully – which he then 100% delivered on.
Shekar truly went above and beyond, as I know he does for each and every one of his clients. He approached my stressful situation with calmness, diligence, and a repertoire of legal ammo to successfully help me through it. I cannot recommend him more highly, both as an attorney and as an exemplary human.
This is a wonderful team to work with! Shekar and his team are very attentive and thorough at what they do. He was able to simplify and carefully explain things to me which were out of my scope of knowledge. I especially loved that if it was beyond his scope he was honest and referred me to someone who could counsel me. I am grateful I found a great team to work with and would most definitely recommend them to my family and friends!
My husband and I hired Shekar to review various drafts of legal documents for a business venture that two other attorneys had previously looked at. After speaking with him and taking his suggestions we were 100% confident in moving forward with our deal and felt that his feedback was valuable and necessary for us to move forward making sure that our best interest was taken care of in all the transactions we were having with the other party. We will continue to use Shekar as our attorney and/or as a resource to seek other legal advice if it is not his specialty. We trust him with all of our personal and professional endeavors.
I have known and worked with Shekar for over 8 years. His work product and work ethic make him a great legal advisor and problem solver. He is one of the most conscientious, competent and caring persons I know. I oversaw his work and he reported to me at the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office from 2009-11.
Shekar is a superb lawyer and former federal judicial law clerk with strong competencies in business formation & compliance; estate planning; and the general business practice of law. He is a proven responsive innovator who has built up a law practice by being accessible and helping client navigate the legal complexities of life.
He is someone I would go to for problem solving and legal advice.
Shekar has really impressed me with his knowledge, understanding and attention to detail as a practicing attorney. He is extremely client-focused and compassionate about his clients’ needs. All would benefit from his legal expertise and services.
We’ve had nothing but positive experiences with Mr. Jayaraman. He always takes the time to listen and take thorough notes regarding any corporate inquiries to better understand the structure of the organization and offer sound judgement and advice. Mr. Jayaraman goes above and beyond, and is well versed with current trends – taking the time to research and stay on top of any new developments that may affect our organization. We feel much more at ease after receiving Mr. Jayaraman’s legal advice, and are able to make informed decisions moving forward. Mr Jayaraman handles every situation with complete honesty and integrity. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking a Corporate attorney!
Professional, thorough, courteous, knowledgeable and actually caring! Those are some of the phrases I would use to describe Mr. Jayaraman. He helped me with real estate and from the beginning to pretty much the end, he’s super easy and methodical. From the initial meeting where he explained the entire process step by step to working towards the Attorney Review – Mr. Jayaraman likes to ensure that you as his client feel comfortable with every step. There are no pressure tactics, no additional sales pitches (which is a rarity these days). He truly just wants to ensure you are satisfied with his work and come out feeling comfortable with your decision. The client portal on jayaramanlaw.com is an added bonus as it removes the uncertainty of ‘losing’ email attachments and ensures your files are secure. I would highly recommend Mr. Jayaraman and I would not hesitate to call on him for future needs. Thank you so much Mr. Jayaraman.
This is the real deal. Not only was I supported through my entire situation but also received additional support when the unexpected occurred. Professional, Supportive, and Knowledgeable! Thank you Jayaraman Law!!!
I used Jayaraman Law firm to assist with a property purchase. During the inspection period, I found a number of issues with the property. Shekar was able to get me out of the contract and dealt with the seller’s attorney that was being difficult about breaking the contract. I would highly recommend Shekar for all your real estate transactions!
Shekar is one of the most sharpest and pleasant guys to work with. Not only does he simplify the process, he’s with you along every step of the way from start to finish. What’s more impressive is his post follow up. After he had gotten my affairs in order with my planning he followed just to ensure I was satisfied or had any other questions. I felt that he genuinely cared which meant a lot. I’d highly recommend this law practice if you want to work with someone who cares about people and will take time out to actually listen to your needs instead of rushing you out like a lot of other attorneys. Keep up the good work!
I was able to use Mr. Jayaraman’s service just recently as I was going through the home buying process and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Mr. Jayaraman went above and beyond, filling in gaps that were even outside of his responsibility to ensure that everything went smoothly. I 100% recommend his services – he stands out, valuing the client relationship above all else, and conducting himself and his team with honesty, integrity, and a fine tooth comb to make sure that all the i’s are dotted, and the t’s are crossed! Thank you again :).
Shekar is one of the most heartfelt, compassionate and kind attorneys I know and I know many! He cares about his clients, advises them wisely, without ulterior motives and pays great detail to the case or draft at hand. I highly recommend Shekar for Real Estate, Business, Estate Planning or simply even contract drafting legal counsel. Thank you Shekar!
Shaker (sic.) and his team were wonderful with helping me close my properties. What I really liked about him was that he was always available to answer all my questions and would get back to me asap. He was always on top of it all and gave great inputs as far as how to negotiate and what is the best to do considering the situation. He even pick up the slack that my agent forgot to do and and should have had it done but thanks to Shaker (sic.) it got it all done and had a great and smooth closing. Thank you again Shake (sic.) and Jayaraman Law team. I highly recommend Jayaraman Law and would definitely do business with you again my friend.
I’ve worked with dozens of attorneys over the years and find Shekar truly exceptional. His work is top notch, which is nice. His demeanor, though, is what really sets him apart. He’s endlessly patient with questions. He sets meetings at times that are convenient for you. He makes sure everything is ready. You’ll be glad you hired him.
Loved our experience with Jayaramen (sic.) Law! We worked with them to set-up our trust and couldn’t be happier. Shekar took the time to explain everything to us in depth so that we had a clear understanding of the difference between wills and the various types of trusts. All of the details of moving our assets into the trust were handled by Shekar and he was very respectful of our time. He is extremely professional and detail oriented. Looking forward to having Jayaraman Law handle our other legal needs as well.
Very professional, flexible and easy to work with!
Attorney Jayaraman is an experienced and highly skilled business lawyer with an impressive list of satisfied estate & business clients. Perhaps its his mid-west work ethic, effectiveness and authenticity that has clients seeking his counsel from coast to coast; or, maybe it’s the results he delivers. His fee structure is a lot less than the big firms and he’s very responsive. He generates trust and confidence with clients and attorneys alike. He gives the legal profession a good name. He is someone you’ll want as your life long lawyer.
Shekar takes client/attorney relationships to a whole new level! We hired Shekar as our Trust Attorney and the process was great. He’s a compassionate, kind and just an all around nice guy! He made the process painless and fun. He was thorough, professional and very efficient. We learned a lot and feel so confident that we put the right guy in place for our estate. We highly recommend his services.
Shekar is providing the best service to help clients solve the problems and get work done. Would highly recommend the law firm to anybody who needs legal services. They are friendly and very efficient.
I have worked with Shekar on several matters. I found him to be thorough and prompt. I would endorse him for Business Law, Estate Planning, and Prenuptial Agreements.
Have worked with Shekar on many different areas of law. He is an excellent attorney who cares about his clients. He explains things thoroughly and does great work. Look forward to working with him in the future.
I have been introducing my clients and their estate planning and real estate needs to Shekar for quite some time now. He is very helpful and goes above and beyond expectations. What’s nice about working with Shekar for trust and/or will drafting is that he completely creates the estate plan from scratch. He has a very strong detail for attention and can count on reaching him at all times of the day. Jayaraman Law is highly recommended in the Chicagoland area.
Shekar is absolutely fantastic to work with. Professional, detail oriented, and has a good attitude.
Inquiring about an Estate Lawyer in Illinois, Shekar of Jayaraman Law came highly recommended. Upon calling his office, the first impression was a good one. When I received a call back from Shekar, he was compassionate, transparent and showed some energy. Being in two different states, it was so good to have you working for me and keeping me abreast of everything. It was a seamless process and I hold you in high regard. Thank you a million times over.
Shekar was such an amazing attorney. Always available, day or night, and definitely passionate about meeting his clients needs. I will continue to use his services.
Attorney Shekar Jayaraman, is the epitome for a Real Estate Attorney. Not only does he communicate well with all parties involved, but he has his clients best interest(s) in mind at all times. He picks up the phone at all hours of the day, and for whatever reason if you have to leave a message, he calls back right away. He is the kind of attorney that I would refer family and friends to as I know they will be taken care of. Shekar is definitely a person that everyone should keep in their rolodex.
I have had the pleasure of working with Shekar going on two years or so. As a fellow attorney, it is invaluable to have someone that you can trust and that you know without hesitation will do a phenomenal job. I have recommended my friends and family to his office which goes to show I cannot speak highly enough of him. He is a diligent and compassionate attorney who sees his clients for the human beings they are as opposed to just another client
Excellent experience working with Jayaraman Law. The team exceeded my expectations in all areas. Communication was great and I had an overwhelming feeling of trust and confidence.
This guy is great. He helped me create a disclaimer for my invoices. It looks so [professional] I love it on my new invoices. I will keep using Mr. Jayaraman in the future for my business needs.
After talking with Shekar we new we had the right person for the job. After getting to know Shekar he is the most compassionate caring person in the business. I can go on and on about how fantastic of a job he and his staff does. Just amazing people
Very professional and great law group. They helped me with my contract so that I can start working at my dream location. They were quick and efficient in getting through it all, and they were very knowledgeable and know what they were doing. They have a safe and secure portal that I was able to upload everything my information. Everything was so easy. I would recommend to all my friends and family!
Shekar was very helpful to my client. He is very professional with clear and quick communication. He is knowledgeable and I feel that he acts in the client’s best interest. Highly recommend!
Shekar and his staff are delightful. Dotted all the I’s and crossed all the T’s to make our first home buying experience not only easy but actually enjoyable. Shekar [is] so dependable, likeable and professional. He pushed back strong for us when seller’s lawyer tried some shenanigans. To put it simply…We won, ethically and above board. Those traits are important to my wife and I. Shekar encompasses them all. Could not have been happier with the services provided or the principles guiding them.
