Testimonials

I worked for two different employers who improperly paid me as a salaried employee and cheated me on my overtime wages. When it happened the second time I knew who to call. Attorney Billhorn recognized the violations immediately, just by looking over my paystubs. He helped with both of my cases and in each, I recovered the optimum amount of money available.

After navigating the Illinois Department of Labor’s wage claim division in an attempt to solve my wage and hour dispute, I was dissatisfied with the outcome. I did my research and chose the services of Billhorn Law Firm. They were able to obtain a settlement that was five times greater than the sum the IDOL asked me to settle for and Billhorn Law Firm was able to assist several of my coworkers. Thanks to the hard work of the people at Billhorn Law Firm, my coworkers and I were able to receive the settlement package we knew we were owed. I am grateful for the efforts made to ensure we got paid properly for the work we had done. I could have never navigated a system so complex without the help of this knowledgeable and experienced staff.

The Billhorn Law Firm fights for the overtime that workers are entitled to, and that is exactly what Attorney Billhorn and his staff did for us despite some tough issues, Attorney Billhorn was able to negotiate a very favorable settlement for me and many others who joined the case with me. I was completely satisfied with the services that he provided, and his staff was amazing to work with.

I have worked with the Billhorn Law Firm on two different cases where the employer denied me my right to overtime pay. In each case, I recovered my back overtime wages and penalties that were available to me. Thank you Billhorn Law Firm and Team.

I tried to find an attorney to listen to my situation and made a lot of calls. Billhorn Law Firm from the onset listened, and due to Attorney Billhorn’s experience in the wage and hour area regarding miss-classification of a salary exempt employee, he and his staff worked diligently for a favorable outcome to my situation. Thank you to all at Billhorn Law Firm for the work you did on my case.

I have worked with the Billhorn Law Firm staff, and Attorney Billhorn on two separate cases. In each situation, Attorney Billhorn provided me with an honest expectation of the outcome.

Mr. Billhorn’s life experiences, coming from a working class, blue color background, coupled with his experience as a trial attorney since 1987, is a powerful combination. John understands the working people and he understands the federal and state laws that employers must follow, and the result he achieved for me was incredible.
