About
Founder, Attorney, Mazek Law Group LLCBachelor of Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago (2000)Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School (2004) Michael Mazek has had a passion for the legal profession since childhood, when he began managing rental properties for his Polish-immigrant parents as a teenager. This early entry into the Chicago landlord-tenant marketplace gave Mazek a unique perspective on the law. He saw that non-native English speakers and immigrants had a disadvantage in court. He also recognized that affordable housing is central to any municipality’s success. His path into the legal profession was spurred by these inequalities.So after attending Chicago public schools from kindergarten through high school, Mazek graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a B.A. in English-Writing and a minor in Linguistics. During his time at UIC, Mazek was the recipient of the prestigious Edward Moskal Journalism Scholarship. He then earned his J.D. from The John Marshall Law School, where he was a member of the noted law review, The Journal of Computer and Information Law.In addition, Mazek was a valuable contributor to The John Marshall Fair Housing Legal Clinic, representing clients in housing discrimination cases. His most significant contribution at the clinic was as co-counsel for successful appeal of Godinez v. Lackey-Sullivan. This landmark decision clarified whether Section 8 housing vouchers qualified as “sources of income” for purposes of the City of Chicago Fair Housing Ordinance.In 2009, Mazek launched his private boutique firm, Mazek Law Group, to provide high quality legal representation at affordable rates. The practice is located in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago, and handles cases in the suburbs, Chicago and collar counties. Mazek represents clients in the areas of real estate transactions (real estate closings, short sales, foreclosures and more), real estate litigation (adverse possession, lot line disputes, condo association conflict), estate planning (wills, trusts and other estate planning instruments), probate, criminal defense (federal criminal defense, state criminal defense, traffic, DUI and more) and bankruptcy (consumer, Chapter 7, Chapter 13).Mazek has given presentations for real estate offices and attorneys. He is a regular contributor to The Norton Annual Survey of Bankruptcy Law. He lives in Edison Park (Chicago), Illinois.

Reviews
I work with Michael on a monthly basis. Originally, I hired Michael to represent me as a buyer at a real estate closing, but he has become my "go to" attorney for almost anything I need. I also refer many real estate clients to him as I am a real estate broker, and all of my clients sing his praises. Michael is an attorney you want on your side. 1) He is always available to talk, email or text. This is not very common amongst attorneys, especially real estate attorneys. 2) He is a problem-solver. Several times, he has come up with solutions to problems that no one else considered. 3) Michael is a man of integrity. Quite simply, I trust him and my clients do too. I recommend him without hesitation.
Mike assisted me on a real estate transaction that was highly complex and involved a high level of interpersonal skills to deal with difficult parties. Mike handled the transaction like a pro and kept me updated on the progress at reasonable intervals. It is clear that Mike is not only really good at what he does, but he genuinely loves practicing law and working with his clients. I would (and do!), without reservation, recommend Mike for anyone who has a real estate need in the Chicagoland area!
After experiencing trouble with a prior attorney, Michael took on our home purchase at the last moment. He was quick to repond and extremely knowledgable when answering whatever questions we had. We would highly recommend Mazek Law Group to anyone looking at purchasing property.
