The Lavelle Organization appears to be a phony company set up by Lavelle Ward. This is the “company” under which Lavelle attempts to gain business. Under investigation it definitely isn’t a registered LLC business name in Illinois. Don’t believe us? Search for yourself on this government site of LLC’s in the state of IL.
You see The Lavelle Organization LLC in there? We sure don’t.
Many people have learned of The Lavelle Organization under the guise that this is how a young and resourceful entrepreneur does busniness. Those people, from our experience, learn soon enough that the man behind this is only out to make a name for himself and to rip off clients.
According to LaVelle Ward, the Lavelle Organization is
” privately owned and headquartered in Chicago. The company is engaged in all aspects of office and residential investment, development, financing, leasing, construction, and management. The company’s mission is to be the leading developer, owner and manager of residential and commercial real estate in North America through the creation of a high quality portfolio of premier properties.” — source
You might note that this is written by LaVelle himself and while we actually think he *wants* this as a reality, it is in fact not True. From our research we have not found one person who has had personal dealings with this man who has not been lied to. Not one.
The LaVelle Organization may exist in his own mind as a valid LLC but no one, and we mean no one, is willing to vouch for him as a business person. Why? It might have to do with the dozens of people who have been hurt by him. At the very least if you are in a potential business relationship with the Lavelle Org then you should get your money up front.
