I hired Michael because of serious problems with my ex and worries about my children in a divorce. He was very serious about the custody issues and I am very happy with the result. He was also very good with the business side of the case, and after a lot of work and involvement of some business and accounting experts, Michael achieved a settlement after a pretrial with the judge that gave me my financial security.

I found him through a google search and he is the only lawyer around that really understands the problems that families face when the parent has psychological problems, that affect the children. Every lawyer I talked to told me that I had no chance at custody, but with Mr. Roe used his experience to get the GAL and the judge to understand what was happening at home and I ended up with a great custody deal, and my kids are doing well. I'm remarried now and life is good. My ex-wife would have left with the kids after her false accusations against me.

My spouse had left Illinois with our kids and basically was hiding and hoping that I would not find her. I spoke to a couple of lawyers, but Mike was the only custody lawyer that impressed me. It turns out he handles the most difficult cases, and he seems to have custody cases in every county in northern Illinois. After over a year of fighting between two states (Illinois and California), the judge ordered my kids back to Illinois, Mike then lead the rest of the case toward my winning custody of my children. I think he loves his work and cares about his clients.
