About

The most gratifying part of practicing matrimonial law is to be able to give guidance and help people through one of, if not the most, difficult times of their lives.  My goal in most cases is to help clients resolve their issues in an amicable manner to a positive resolution, as the majority of cases do not proceed to trial.  However, there are certain cases that cannot be settled for a multitude of reasons.  As such, I am always prepared to litigate the issues.  I maintain the mindset of a litigator while always being open to discussing settlement.  Being prepared to take the case to trial, often times, will result in a more favorable result through settlement.  I started my legal career practicing in a wide variety of areas of law, ranging from criminal law to real estate transactions to all areas of civil litigation.  I now practice exclusively in the area of matrimonial law.  My prior experience in other areas of law has been invaluable for my practice, as the practice of matrimonial law overlaps with so many other areas of law and requires knowledge of these other areas of law.  When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, and playing basketball.  I was born and raised in the Chicago area, where I currently reside with my wife and three children.

Mr. Hudzik handled post-decree issues that arose in my divorce case. He was professional, courteous, extremely knowledgeable regarding the issues in the case, and, in my opinion, went above and beyond to settle the case to my satisfaction, which he ultimately did. I already have and will continue to recommend his services to anyone.

Michael was excellent in his representation. He communicated everything, worked hard to reach a resolution outside of litigation but wasn’t afraid to take the case to trial in order to resolve it. I was very happy with him and although I hope to never need his legal representation again, if I do, I know he’ll do a wonderful job. He was a pleasure to work with and I have the utmost respect for him as a person and as an attorney.

Mike has been by my side since the beginning of my new legal counsel with STG Law firm. Julie Gumina was my gunner at first and then Mike stepped in to assist. Both were very helpful in protecting me and my boys throughout the custody battle with the mother of my three boys. They keep well in touch thur email/text/vm. They will always have a life long relationship with me to protect me and my family. Never once did I question their utmost professionalism and integrity when making decisions in and outside of the courtroom. Thx Mike and Julie for all you hard work and dedication when working to help and protect my family. The A-Team!!!!

I hired Michael to help me with my very conflicated and stressful divorce. I was stay at home wife who took care of the kids, working only part time while my husband was the one with the income and assets. When the decision to divorce came up I was lost and was worried about the future of my children and I. I am very grateful that I have found Michael to help me. From the first consultation, I felt very comfortable and at ease with talking to him about my situation. He welcomed all my questions and assured me that there was no need to fear about the outcome of this divorce. Due to the covid pandemic and my husband being uncooperative, it was understandable that there was some delays in getting the process running and it took about 2 years until we were finally able to finish the case. *During that time, he always informed me about the status or any updates. *He would email me back asap or call me anytime (even after work hours or weekend) whenever I had a question or was in crisis mode about this divorce. *He was always mindful of unnecessary costs and informed me first or gave me other options. *He was prepared to be the nice lawyer that would help me and my husband achieve what's fair for everyone and also be the lawyer that fights for me when the other party was not being nice. *I never felt intimidated and he was so easy and comfortable talking to, he knows when its serious time and when its perfectly okay to be funny. *The end result: he managed to get me everything I had asked for and was entitled to.

Wrote a detailed, specific and great judgement for the allocation of custody rights, full custodial parenting time and helped me be able to move with my daughter out of state. As a father, I was afraid this would take years and be near impossible but the process was quick and much less painful than anticipated. Communication was quick and right to the point, allowing me to save costs. He utilized the associates as much as possible as well, again minimizing costs. Hopefully I will not need his services again, but I will gladly share his information for anyone who might need assistance in custodial issues.

It's rare to find a lawyer who comprises all the necessary qualities to make one of the best divorce lawyers. First of all, Attorney Michael Hudzik has a sound knowledge of divorce law. Secondly, he is aware of the emotional nature of the divorce process and has the proper sensitivity needed while working with clients; he really listens to the client's needs. Thirdly, he is always prompt in returning phone calls and emails. Lastly, he is aware of the client's anxiety towards attorney fees and therefore tries to work on issues in the most cost effective manner possible. My divorce and post divorce matters were very long and complex, and it led me to have to hire and work with many different lawyers, many of whom were recommended by friends and family. Most of my previous attorneys had one or two of the above qualities, but I found none of them to have all the qualities, except for Attorney Michael Hudzik. He was an excellent lawyer, exactly as I read in his Avvo reviews online. I will always be grateful to Attorney Hudzik for all the work and time he has put in my case to bring peace for me and my children. I highly recommend Attorney Michael Hudzik.

For years I struggled with an inability to effectively shield my children from some toxic behavior patterns of the woman I fell in love with. I sought help from church, marriage counselors and even law enforcement. I eventually had to accept the fact that nobody can facilitate change in another person’s life if they don’t believe they need to change. I met with several attorneys while contemplating divorce and was devastated to hear them say it was unlikely for children to end up with their fathers. The last attorney I met with was Michael Hudzik. Mike’s demeanor and view of my objectives was different from the start. In a word the main thing he offered was Hope! As a result of his integrity and outstanding problem resolution skills, I was divorced in a short period of time and am living proof that children can end up with their father. Mike’s ability to find out of the box solutions to difficult situations enabled my kids and I to continue living in the house they grew up in making this disruptive season of life far less difficult than it could have been. Throughout each step of this journey, Mike kept the cost of his services at the forefront of our decision making. My kids and I are eternally grateful we crossed paths and simply couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome.
