I bought a vehicle 1,000 miles from my home relying on the car dealer’s assurances that it was like new. When the vehicle arrived at my home I immediately noticed several serious flaws. I called the dealer and they were unwilling to accept the vehicle back under any circumstance. After trying for weeks to get an attorney to represent me I was losing hope that the situation would get resolved. After some more searching online, I came across Peter Lubin’s firm and spoke to his assistant about my situation. Peter personally returned my call the same day and agreed to take my case. He referred me to an auto expert who examined the vehicle and found significant frame damage and previous substandard repairs. Peter also tried to get the dealer to unwind the transaction before filing the lawsuit but they still were unwilling. After the suit was filed he knew what documents to request from the dealer and who to subpoena to get the evidence needed to prove that the dealer knew the car had been seriously damaged and that they concealed this information from me. The dealer offered a settlement that would have left me out of pocket several thousand dollars. On Peter’s suggestion we rejected the offer and a few weeks later, the dealer settled for the full amount. Peter is an excellent consumer fraud attorney and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone else that finds themselves in a similar situation.

I have worked with the attorneys at Lubin Austermuehle, PC on some very complex matters involving fraud and business valuation. It was a pleasure to work with a team that understands how to focus on the critical elements needed to win an argument about financial damages.

I purchased, over the internet, a high value pre-owned Porsche from a non-Porsche franchise dealer. The seller did not disclose to me prior body shop repair to the front of my car. With Peter's guidance I reached a fair and amicable settlement with the dealer that reflected the diminished value of my vehicle due to the prior damage. Peter knows automobile dealer fraud and consumer protection laws. His advice helped me reach a fast and fair settlement while avoiding a lengthy, expensive and stressful litigation process.
Through a very positive recommendation, I was referred to Peter Lubin a Chicago Non-compete agreement attorney. Peter was a great help in navigating the specifics of a very broad Non-disclosure/Non-compete agreement from a former employer. He was able to quickly address specific questions I had and gave me clarity of what I can and cannot do and an understanding of the implications moving forward. I would recommend his insight to anyone trying to figure out what their NDA actually means.

I conducted a consultation with Peter regarding my non-compete and he was extremely helpful. He clearly had significant experience in the area and was very well-spoken and intelligent. He also clearly had my interests at heart as well as he only encouraged litigation when he thought it was in my best interest. Would definitely recommend to anyone I know.

Peter is an excellent attorney and was able to guide me through a non-compete/trade secret lawsuit. He provided incredible support and was able to provide a positive result very efficiently. I strongly recommend calling Peter first for any non-compete/trade secret issues.

Peter Lubin is an outstanding trial attorney. He represented our company in an employment matter and was able to guide us to a good resolution in a short amount of time. He is aware of the burden that legal expenses can have on a small business and manages his involvement accordingly. His preference is toward negotiated solutions but is very skilled in the courtroom, should that become necessary. Highly recommended.

Lubin Austermuehle, P.C., has a solid team of legal experts that helped my business over the years maneuver through day to day business challenges you may confront and they are always there to lend a helpful ear. They make you feel like you have your own in house legal team. Their advice over the years has been invaluable.

Peter Lubin and Patrick Austermuehle represented me in a complicated medical/business lawsuit. Peter and his team are not only personable and very professional, but they are also extremely competent litigators.
I got to know Peter and his team very well over the 3 years of litigation in my case. The team is very sharp and talented. They spent the time to really understand the minute details of my case. I felt they were entirely committed. The opposing party threw numerous legal curveballs during litigation. Peter and his team successfully navigated all of them. I was astounded at Peter and his team's preparation and skill in deposing members of the opposing party. Peter is very aggressive when he needs to be. I really felt I had hired the best lawyers to represent me.
Peter even did research and kept in contact with me regarding my case during his vacation! I felt very reassured that Peter was only a phone call away. Anytime I thought of something regarding my case, I did not hesitate to call. He always got back to me if he could not take my call.
My case was settled just before trial and I received 100% of my claim. In addition, all my legal fees were paid by the opposing party.
I recommend Peter Lubin, Patrick Austermuehle and their team without hesitation!

Last year I had a situation where money was owed to my business and was not being paid back.
I sat down with my new hero, Peter Lubin. He mapped out a strategy, executed it just as discussed, and the whole amount owed was paid back.
You are in excellent hands with Peter Lubin as your lawyer. I am so glad he was in my corner. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a litigator.

Peter and Pat represented me in litigation.

Peter Lubin has represented our software company for over 20 years. As general counsel of our company, I have relied upon Peter and his firm for numerous issues ranging from protecting our intellectual property rights, enforcing judgments, drafting contracts and writing correspondence. Peter brings passion and intensity to his work, and it definitely pays off for his clients.
Moreover, over the years, we have dealt with various other attorneys and staff at Lubin Austermuehle. I sincerely can say that each person with whom we have interacted has always been professional and courteous. I highly recommend Peter Lubin and his firm.

Peter Lubin represented me in commission dispute involving a sizable chunk of money that my employer was trying to avoid paying. Peter took over after my former lawyer had mishandled the case with a combination of creativity and a tough negotiation strategy he helped turn the case around and we obtained settlement. He spent a lot of uncompensated time helping to come up with the successful strategy. I highly recommend Peter and his firm.

I have known Peter Lubin for over 30 years. He has represented me on occasion with sound legal advice. He is a shrewd and tough negotiator leading to positive outcomes and averting prolonged legal hassles in court. He comes from a family with a legal pedigree and deep roots in Chicago's top legal community. You want him on your case. You need him on your opponent's case. He won't stop fighting until he wins.

On a number of occasions our firm has had the pleasure of referring matters, clients, and a variety of issues to Patrick Austermuehle. The results, the interaction, and the skill level has been nothing short of extraordinary and we have thoroughly enjoyed each interaction with Pat and his firm.

Peter Lubin is among the few Chicago business litigators whose 35 years of experience place him among the best lawyers in Chicago to resolve a wide variety of business disputes, ranging from shareholder disputes, partnership disputes, or defamation. Peter is also adept at obtaining emergency and permanent injunctive relief in numerous substantive matters, and has extensive class action experience. I have worked with Peter in various capacities as a lawyer, and now as a business man. I have direct personal experience with Peter's skills. Presently, in my own career, I am a consultant for US and offshore companies, and family office clients for whom I am about to engage Peter on several substantial matters.

Lubin-Austermuehle is a power house of legal talent. If you want a firm to represent you that is intellectually talented handling almost any facet of litigation from large complex class action suit to personal individual consumer fraud cases, this is the firm. Most important, they will not treat you like a meal ticket charging you every time you call them, or they call you. When I was seeking to hire someone to represent me, I researched about 50 firms and reviewed the resumes of the attorneys and the cases they tried before I made my decision. The credentials and experience of this firm really stood out compared to their peers. They are a very unique legal boutique with the sophistication and breadth of experience commensurate with large law firms. They really care about their clients and decision making is guided on what is best for the client.
Peter and Patrick are two really smart guys that are down to earth. They tell you the way it is and not necessarily what you want to hear. Peter Lubin would call me almost every week to see how I was doing and give me an update on my case. It was a horrible time in my life and Peter really helped support me and he never charged me for these calls. Patrick Austermuehle also worked on my case, he is very astute and genuinely cares about his clients and very bright. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and impressed with the legal services I received. I would highly recommend them.

I really appreciate this opportunity to highly recommend Peter Lubin of the Law Offices of Lubin and Austemuehle. I recall in 2016 considering that I might be involved in litigation. This lead me to search Google for a lawyer as people might do. I saw the law offices of Ditomasso and Lubin which specialized in the problem I had. I called Mr. Lubin by phone and left a message. He returned my call a short time later. We discussed my case over the phone and I was impressed with Mr. Lubin's insight and experiences. Although I really didn't know him my "instincts" told me this was the right person. Unfortunately, my fears came into true and I was eventually sued in federal court months later. When I contacted Mr. Lubin again there was no hesitation that he would take the case. He guided me through the initial paperwork and fees and then did all the required notifications involving my insurance company. Mr. Lubin also asked me to send him the paperwork I had and reviewed same. He then started the process of representing me in court. He filed his appearance as the attorney of record and then set about defending me. Not only did Mr. Lubin defend me in the lawsuit, per se, but he also worked on dealing with my insurance company.
During this process Mr. Lubin contacted me numerous times via text, phone, and email. He and his staff were well prepared for the work that was required. Mr. Lubin made me feel like I was the only one that he was representing. He was thoughtful, professional, and particularly mindful of how all this would be affecting me personally and financially. When it came to his fees he was considerate that monies would have to come from me and not my insurance company. He specifically counseled me to talk to my wife and family to see how his fees could be paid. He was never pushy about this. He allowed me to pay him a set amount over time. When I got discouraged he consistently encouraged me to have faith that I would prevail. He never promised that I would win but he did promise that he would not give up or abandon me. This was absolutely true. I also want to say that Mr. Lubin could not have done all this without his associates and staff. The staff are fantastic. I got updates from them frequently, and yes, I also got the invoices. But they were very kind about it.
I want to let you know that Mr. Lubin was successful in defending me when I was sued. A federal judge dismissed the case, I believe, as a direct result of the superior legal briefs that Mr. Lubin and his staff developed. Mr. Lubin is a very aggressive attorney. Aggressive in the sense of defending his clients. I didn't sleep so well during all this time, but I did sleep better knowing that Peter Lubin and his superior staff were working for me.
Peter Lubin is a seasoned, experienced, and successful Libel, Defamation and Slander lawyer. In my opinion he is the best Chicago area Libel, Defamation, and Slander lawyer that anyone could have.
