Bernard A. Speiser

Bernard A. Speiser is the founder of Law Office of Bernard Speiser, serving buyers and sellers in residential and commercial real estate transactions throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. With more than a decade of legal experience, Bernard provides practical advice, attentive representation, and clear explanations at each stage of the transaction.

Clients work directly with Bernard from contract review through closing. He assists with negotiations, inspection issues, title matters, and closing documents, helping clients understand their options and make informed decisions. His approach combines careful attention to legal and financial details with an understanding that every transaction represents an important investment.

Bernard’s litigation experience informs his approach to real estate transactions. Having handled disputes, he understands how unclear contract terms, unmet obligations, and overlooked details can lead to conflict. He brings that perspective to contract review and negotiations, helping clients anticipate potential problems and address them before they become disputes.

Bernard attended The John Marshall Law School, where he earned the CALI Award for the highest grade in Estates and Trusts. Through the school’s Business Transactions Externship Program, he provided pro bono legal assistance to small businesses and charitable organizations. His work included forming a nonprofit organization, organizing an S corporation, and mediating a family business dispute in Spanish.

Fluent in Spanish, Bernard offers Spanish-speaking clients direct communication with their attorney throughout their representation.
