Bio
Richard Ehrlich
Aside from being an astute lawyer, Jim possesses a quality that is not common in attorneys: devotion. It has been my experience in knowing him for the past thirty-two years that he is uncommonly devoted to both his family and friends as well as his clients. Unlike many of his colleagues, Jim connects with his clients, communicates well with them, and leaves nothing behind in rendering assistance. There are a lot of smart lawyers out there, and surely Jim is one of them, but few possess his tenacity when it comes to communication and service to those around him. If the case is important and you can have only one lawyer, Jim is the one.
Thomas Grzymala
Jim and I met several years ago when he retained me to provide securities expert services for a client of his firm, SNSFE. He is an outstanding attorney, very inquisitive in the fact finding process, careful in his deliberations, and marvelously superb in the pieces he writes to share his distinct knowledge. The fact that his home state of Illinois has selected Jim as a "Super Lawyer" every year since its 2005 inception, his Martingdale-Hubbell "A-V" (the highest) peer review rating, and his many excellent publications and presentations are all indicative of Jim's professional distinction. Bottom-line: Jim Eccleston is a gentleman of refined manners, punctilious courtesy and the nicest sense of personal honor. Tom Grzymala, CFP®, AIFA®
