  • “I am most fortunate to have Ms. Duda as a strong and caring advocate for my loved one for a number of years. Her vast knowledge of the laws involved, and her ceaseless efforts, which are always enveloped in compassion and empathy, are truly a gift to all those who are fortunate to have her on their team, both as a talented attorney and a caring human being.”

  • “I am the guardian of a mentally disabled family member. Some years ago I was embroiled in a long-standing, complex dispute with care providers that could have resulted in devastating and dangerous consequences for my ward. Relationships had become intensely hostile and emotional. Lara entered my legal case at this point, and assisted in bringing the situation under control in just a few months. Her wisdom, knowledge, patience, calmness and exceptional skills as a negotiator and counselor helped to bring about a solution that was better than anything I had hoped for. Since then, I have continued to work with Lara as my attorney for all guardianship issues, which fortunately, have been relatively routine since that early crisis. Lara has such a passion for protecting and serving the disabled. Her compassion is boundless, yet she is like a rock when she takes a stand for what is needed, and she cannot be manipulated. Her knowledge is extensive, yet she is also guided by intuition. Her ability to be impartial, and to understand (and explain) the differing perspectives of difficult people is, and was so valuable in my personal situation. I learned much from her that still serves me well in my continuing relationships with my ward's present care providers. I would highly recommend Lara as an advocate and a resource to any disabled person, or to anyone who takes care of a disabled person.”

  • “As the owner of a medical case management and guardianship company in Chicago, I have had the privilege of working with Lara on numerous cases. Lara is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about her work while representing disabled individuals. She is a strong advocate when representing these individuals that otherwise would not have a voice. Lara is very compassionate and she strives to always do what is best for her clients. She has been a strong resource from a legal perspective with some of my toughest cases and has been there to support my business and my clients to ensure that all of my clients' needs are met. Lara does not hesitate to intervene in trying situations even if that means attending to a matter outside of her regular business hours. It has been a pleasure working with Lara over the past five years and I look forward to continuing to work closely with her in the future.”
