"LM Consultants, Inc. was formed in Chicago in 1995 by Gregory E. Lehn and Thomas J. McNamara, two experienced professional engineers who have worked together performing property condition assessments and construction consulting services on hundreds of properties of all types and sizes throughout North America since 1984. In 1998, LM Consultants, Inc. acquired Daniel Karlin Associates, Inc., an architectural consulting firm founded in 1970 with roots as an architectural design firm dating back to 1931.

To serve the needs of their ever increasing client base, they have added experienced architects, engineers, environmental scientists, and construction managers to their staff and have opened new offices. Their staff members are the key to the success and continued growth of the firm. Quality and consistency result in repeat business from their clients. Rendering professional consulting services to the upper echelon of real estate lenders and investors—firms that “really want to know”—is what they do."
