About

I am a lifelong Chicagoland resident with a passion for helping families plan their estates so their loved ones are cared for upon their passing. I utilize wills, trusts, powers of attorney for property and healthcare, with the goal of both ensuring that assets pass to your intended loved ones and to make sure that the right people are acting on your behalf if you are unable to make decisions.I am licensed to practice in Illinois and primarily work in Cook County, Lake County, McHenry County, DuPage County, Will County, Kane County, and Kendall County. I am also licensed for the Federal Bar of the Northern District of Illinois.I offer a no charge, no strings attached initial consultation for estate planning.  We can formulate an estate plan that meets your needs without breaking the bank. If you recognize that you need estate planning (and everyone does!) then do not hesitate to give me a call.

I gladly write this review of my experience with Michael Goldberg. He was very kind, attentive and extraordinarily helpful throughout the long, arduous and painful months it took my daughter and I to settle the estate of my wife who died of cancer in July, 2017. His guidance and counsel were instrumental in helping us make the right decisions.

As Mike Goldberg said to us, he helps people "tie up loose ends while they can still make a knot." My wife and I are expecting a baby in a few months and wanted to get a will and trust set up before the baby's arrival. Mike was thoroughly helpful and diligent in helping us protect the well-being of our future child, mitigate our tax liability, and make life easier for our whole family in the event of our untimely demise. Also worth mentioning, Mike's fee was disclosed upfront. We did not get a surprise invoice later with some random billable hours. We knew exactly how much we were going to spend with Mike before any of the work began. To me, this made the whole experience easier and more productive. Thanks Mike!

Michael did a great job stepping me through my options of doing a will of a trust. He let me know the differences so I felt confident in the choice I made. He made the whole process very easy.

I'm so grateful that Michael was my attorney for my condo purchase. As a first-time homebuyer, there was a lot I didn't know about how the process worked and what to expect. Michael was helpful in terms of keeping me updated on what was happening and what was reasonable to expect of the seller and seller's attorney, including negotiations with the seller about repairs; what the building's condominium association needed from me, what to expect from them, and whether the HOA had any special assessments, lawsuits, or other notable circumstances; setting up the actual closing; and everything else that came up from the time my offer was accepted, all the way up to (and after) closing on the sale. At the closing, he explained what each document I was signing was, and he was thorough and patient answering my questions. Having Michael as my attorney for this purchase really offered exceptional peace of mind; his knowledge and guidance helped me to feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.

Michael delivered as he promised. Today I received a Fedex from my lender and my 50K principle was forgiven. If you're in financial difficulties with your home mortgage make an appointment to see Michael Goldberg.

Mike is a great attorney. We were selling a property and ran into some delays with the buyers. Mike kept us informed of our options throughout the process and was quick to respond to our needs. When we did close, he handled everything for us. Overall, we felt like he had our backs, and made the transaction far more pleasant.

Mr. Goldberg was our attorney during negotiations with our second mortgage lender. He has been great to work with, very professional,quick to respond to any question that we had. Mr. Goldberg was there for us every step of the way, keeping us updated and hopeful. Michael has gone far and above what we had expected or ever received from any other attorney in the past. Our second mortgage lien was released without us paying a penny. We couldn't be happier! Thank you Michael!

I needed to secure a mortgage modification and explore any other options available. I had tried once on my own and failed but was ultimately successful in obtaining the modification due to the efforts of Mr. Goldberg and his staff. They were very diligent and persistent in working with the mortgage company and were successful in achieving the goal.
