The best attorney in all of IL and possibly the US. Very level headed and can get things done smoothly and efficiently. Had an attorney prior that took thousands and did not accomplish a single item. Michael accomplished everything and did everything he promised. Protected my father’s rights in the parenting agreement, settled and negotiated a successful divorce settlement. Rest easy when he is at the driver seat, cause you have the best. Quick thinker and always 10 steps ahead of the other attorney. If you hire him, you have the best. If you’re going against him, be very scared. Don’t try and play hardball, you will lose.

I'm a dad with two boys. In the state of Illinois it's very challenging as a father to get custody of your children; or so I'm told from a long list of resources despite my ex's absence in our children's lives. I firmly believe I had God's blessings who directed me to Mike. Mike stood by me, offered sound advise (sometimes like a big brother would) and delivered. He didn't alway tell me what I was hoping to hear either but advised me of what I needed to hear. There are no words that can describe my gratitude but will say it was worth every cent. Thanks again Mike!

Michael is a five-star legal champion. I was referred to Michael by a trusted friend who had a positive experience and outcome with her turbulent divorce. He adeptly navigated my complex case and delivered excellent results. His billing practices were efficient, accurate, and detailed, and he kept me well informed at all times. He also respected my time, which allowed me to focus on my career and family instead of stressful court appearances. I’ve worked with a number of attorneys through the years for personal and business reasons. Michael’s overall approach, strategy, and knowledge of case law and the legal system is unparalleled. He’s also able to absorb and recall vast amounts of information, and he’s extremely agile in court where he’s well respected. I highly recommend Michael to anyone who needs a great divorce attorney.

Michael Weiman got me thru one of the hardest times in my life, he kept me on track. Made sure it was fair for both parents. Is a real sleuth, and was able to discover & uncover certain types of financial issues. He truly kept me strong & focused throughout the painstaking procedure. I was & am truly grateful to him! I have since referred him to at least 25-30 people I know, who were very happy with him as well.

My divorce started off with an agreement between myself and my soon to be ex. Then when I received the papers she was asking unjustly for more than we had agreed. The well being of my children was now at stake. As a father, I was afraid that the courts would walk on me and my children would be lost in the mess. So I needed a lawyer, quick. Enter Michael Weiman. He came on the scene and assured me that all would be resolved in my children's best interest. After all, that has always been my biggest concern. My ex was very difficult; coming up with all kinds of stories and lies and asking for more than she was entitled. These accusations were very upsetting to me. Whenever I would become emotionally attached with the accusations and lies, Michael would be there to give me the legal side to keep my emotions in check. As a father it seemed like an uphill battle. In the end, Michael came through for my children. Now they have all that is needed. They have not lost time with their Father, and have an environment that gives them the best chance to succeed at what ever they choose.

Divorce, by definition, has a negative connotation. Michael Weiman has a way of making the negative a POSITIVE. Michael knows divorce law and the courtrooms of Chicago better than anyone I have worked with previously. He helped secure a future for me and my 4 children. I am forever grateful for his expertise. Divorce proceedings, in the beginning, are really scary and I had no idea how to handle the tough situations that seemed to plague me and my children. Michael was always there for us. He always answered or returned my calls promptly ( I couldn't expect for him to answer my calls when he was in court). He helped me competently navigate through all the difficult problems that arose. He assisted in keeping me calm and level headed when I wanted to SCREAM. My divorce went on for what seemed like a lifetime. Michael was always there for us. He was on top of every issue and helped circumvent others. Michael negotiated a great settlement for me and my children and I know it was not an easy task. I highly recommend Michael Weiman to anyone that is in need of a great divorce attorney. Michael is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, timely and truly cares about helping his clients.

Stay away from this lawyer! He colluded with my ex to write the final divorce decree and never explained what exactly is in the document. He does not care about his clients, just wants to make money. Puts on a good front to act as if he cares. Please note that all the good reviews were mostly from years ago.

Stay away from Michael Weiman of Weiman Silberman at all cost. He didn’t even show up for my trial which caused me to lose everything I had. When Judge Rivera asked Michael Weiman’s assistant why Mr. Weiman wasn't at trial, he said, “He's another client.” In my Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage, Judge Rivera wrote, “Moreover, co-counsel informed the court that DAVID’s counsel also had another matter to attend to elsewhere.” The judge so upset with Mr. Weiman that she started the trial without him being present. His unethical behavior cost me everything. Michael Weiman was recommended to me by a family member who was friends with both Michael and his wife. If he’s not going to be professional under those circumstances, he won’t be for you either. This is just the tip of the iceberg regarding Michael Weiman’s unprofessional conduct during my case of which I will share at a later date. For now, I recommend that you avoid Michael Weiman of Weiman Silverman at all costs, you will be so grateful that you did.

Other attorneys are baffled while this guy is still in practice. The only reviews that are good are from his friends. He is late for court, calls the morning of to notify you have a court date, lies about his billing and never has any intention of representing a client. Just take the money and run. His high maintenance life and lack of morals will catch up with him some day. He is a man of many faces and to us guys, plays the it happened to me story. I actually care for my x wife more than my attorney. I finished my case with another attorney who could do the job professionally. In divorce no one side is happy but to financially be robbed by a attorney? Divorce is difficult don’t make the same mistake I did.

If I were allowed to give zero stars I would! Michael is all talk and will not help you. In fact, he met with my ex-husband while he was representing me in my divorce case. He then asked me for full payment, and once I wrote the check, I never heard from him again. He left so many issues in my case unsettled, and I had to hire another lawyer to fix the mess he left me with. He is unethical!
