About
I practice exclusively in family law with experience representing clients across Cook, Lake, DuPage, Will, Kane, and McHenry counties in Illinois. I provide counsel to clients in a wide range of matters, including the negotiation and litigation of complex financial disputes, business interests, property valuation and division, maintenance (spousal support), child support, custody and parenting plans, and parentage issues. In addition, I represent clients in the preparation of prenuptial agreements, in post-divorce issues such as enforcement and modifications of Judgments, and in civil litigation related to orders of protection and domestic violence. I am first and foremost a planner and problem solver. Those skills allow me to effectively resolve issues outside of court while maximizing my clients’ control over the outcome and divorce process. Whether through litigation, attorney assisted mediation, or settlement negotiations, I approach cases from multiple angles and lenses and then tailor an individualized strategy for each client.

I hired the Michael Halusek to help out with a very scary issue where I was being accused of being the father to a two year old boy. I was worried that I would lose everything due to back child support and future payments. The scariest part was that the mother was being very discourteous towards me and absolutely uncooperative, leaving me to worry about what the future would look like. The best decision I made was to call Michael and file a petition to order the mother to submit to a DNA test. Michael guided and comforted me throughout the entire process. It had felt like a giant weight had been lifted off my shoulders. He was with me from the very beginning to the very end, always available to talk to explain a situation or to just calm me down. I ended up not being the father to the child, but if I had, there is no one else I would rather have in my corner than Michael Halusek. Michael was a beacon of hope to me at a time I thought all hope was lost. Not only was he able to defend me from a system I believed determined to undermine the rights of fathers, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and to those I care about the most. I am eternally grateful for Michael’s service. I would, and will, recommend him to anyone in a time of need.
mr halusek represented me in a child custody issue i had. He was thoughtful of my concerns and communicated with me effectively when able. He worked to handle my matter so most of my demands were met and was nice to me at all times.
I wait several days to hear back from him. After changing my mind and requesting the case to be rescinded, he told me that it is not possible when it is. Very irritated at this point that I only hear from his office when they want money after I have already paid almost 10,000 dollars and nothing has been done that I could not have done myself. My daughter's mother has told me she has not received any communication from him or his office. Whether or not that is true, I do not know. Stop trying to push me into more services, and just do what I want you to do.
