I hired Mike in the summer of 2021 for a case that i had received in Downtown Chicago. I reached out to Mike and he got back to me immediately. Mike handled my case extremely well with superb communication through out the entire process, comforting confidence and seasoned knowledge which reassured me of outcome a positive outcome. That very outcome unfolding today as Mike had explained to me months ago. I would highly recommend.
I was considering taking an offer from the state, Michael convinced me to the case, it was dismissed. He is no nonsense, extremely knowledgeable, weighs out all your options, and was prepared to throw down for me from day 1. Saved me a lot of grief , time, and money had I gone any other route. Thanks Michael!!!
Michael is an excellent Lawyer. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He is very competent and to the point. He never missed a scheduled meeting and he always took my calls. When I asked questions, he always answered them clearly and thoroughly. Michael is good at explaining and communicating. He is a very good lawyer. I appreciate all his help. I like to recommend Michael, because he is an excellent lawyer and very professional and knowledgeable.
Mike lead me every step of the way towards getting an old case dismissed. He was very thorough and responsive throughout the entire three month process. I had to do my part to give us the best chance for success and Mike knew exactly where to point me. He was extremely prepared and confident and that made the emotional side of the process so much easier. I would recommend Mike to anyone!
I hired Mike to represent me for a Title IX case at the University of Illinois and I could have not asked for someone better to represent me. The case went to a full hearing that lasted multiple days. Mike's communication was phenomenal throughout the entire process and whenever I contacted him with anything he would respond quickly with a concise and efficient response. He helped me understand the process and guided me each step of the way, he was extremely knowledgeable on the procedures of Title IX. His ability to cross examine the complainant and witnesses were crucial to this case as he was able to bring to light the facts and ultimately lead the University to conclude that I was not in violation of the Title IX Student Code. I am so grateful to have worked with Mike and I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a Title IX case attorney.
I am a Chicago Public School teacher. I had a parent of a CPS student that I have no relation with and have never met accuse me of harassment from comments I posted on Facebook. Mike guided me through ever step of the process and persuaded Cook County to dismiss the case with no charges. He was definitely a hero and so helpful during this process. I have never been in any situation even close to this and he explained the process, followed up with me and held my hand during every step. I hope to never be in a situation like this ever again but if I or anyone I know ever needs legal advice or a lawyer, he will be my first call. I can’t say enough good things about him!!!!
Mike is amazing. He literally saved my life. Do not expect warm and fuzzy, hugs and kisses :). He is not that type of lawyer. Extremely factual and straight forward. Great guy. I would highly recommend.
Retained Mike to represent me (a teacher) in a Title IX complaint against me in a high school district. Although it didn't happen instantly, the district eventually completely dropped the complaint and investigation with no further action. This was in large part due to Mike's clear and concise advice and assistance at every step. From drafting the best e-mails and statement, to preparing me to be interviewed and advising me during the interview. Mike is responsive and always on top of things. He's kind, personable, and wants the best for you. He's also willing to ensure you understand and agree with the steps he recommends. He listens and is always ready to clarify or answer questions. I hope I never need to but if I do I'd hire Mike again.
Retained Mike to handle an issue with a FOID application and expungement. He was honest and thorough. Also won’t BS you on billable hours. Highly professional and will actually get the job done. Mike’s experience and professional network are extensive and only add to his value proposition. Wish I’d gone here sooner. 10 / 10 would recommend to a friend.
Michael was very to the point. He knows the law and put an end to my issue quick. He’s real and is strictly to the point. He’s looking to help as opposed to giving you the run around. Won my case before trial even. He’s worth every penny. Top attorney in Chicago.
