About

I founded Schiffman Family Law, LLC, because from the start of my legal career I always felt a personal calling to assist people during one of life's most significant transitions. I treat each and every case with close personal attention to resolve the issues for every one of my clients.  When not attending to my cases, I believe it is essential that I remain aware of emerging practices by pursuing the latest issues and trends within the practice of family law.   While the name recognition and cache of larger law firms leads some to believe that the level of expertise or success rate would be greater, after a career that included my working at various size firms, I came to the realization that founding my own practice allowed me the greatest freedom and opportunity to provide a higher level of personal service and attention to my clients, eliminating the non-casework distractions of a law firm practice. I am here to personally answer your questions and address all your issues during this process so you may resolve matters and move forward with your life. It is my priviledge to be of assistance to my clients and I am proud to have worked with well over two thousand people thus far in my career.

Mr Michael Schiffman and his secretary ; Katherine are by far one of the most professional, knowledgeable professionals that have crossed my path. Divorcing my now ex- husband was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Mr Schiffmans’ consultation was clear and concise , he prepared me for court , his professional demeanor and deliverance of my divorce to the Court and judge was seamless and extremely well done . I highly recommend you hire him and his associates if you want and require the very best !!!! Ila

I called around before I went to Mike Schiffman for my divorce. I wanted a fair custody arrangement for our kids, and the issue of maintenance payments needed to be reasonable. The kids were still young so it would be years of family issues to consider. From the start Mike was so easy for me to talk to about what I thought I deserved. He really knows the Illinois laws and the judicial system. Once we began negotiations and entering orders, he nailed down every issue. He’s been doing this for over 30 years, and seemed to know everyone at court and was well-respected by all. Mike worked to get a settlement and save the costs of having to go to trial. When the other side wouldn’t agree, he did a phenomenal job representing me in court, too. What I liked best about him was that he was there for me, not like one of those big firm lawyers that’s all about billable hours and then passing clients off to first year associates. He really cared about me and my kids. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering divorce or having any related issues. I’ve needed help since the divorce on some other family stuff and Mike has helped me with other legal matters too. He’s super smart and a great guy to have on your side.
