If you want an attorney that is respectful, professional and polite, while still being capable of fiercely advocating on your behalf, Michael is the attorney you need.

You can set up an appointment to meet and review an option to suit your needs, whatever they may be. Michael can meet with you at his office in Arlington Heights if an in person meeting is convenient for you: appointments are available for days, evenings, and select weekends.
In today’s hectic world, finding time to meet to discuss your Will or Trust can be difficult. If you are interested in having a Will or Trust drafted, and you would prefer to avoid the visit to the lawyer’s office, Michael can set up a Zoom meeting. Michael can review your needs, provide you with draft documents via email, and you only come to the office to sign and pick up your documents. If necessary, Michael can even come to your home for the final signing.
Michael can make the important, but often postponed, decision to have your Will or Trust drafted easier, by making the process as simple as possible. You will find that Michael is committed to getting you your Will or Trust in a way that is convenient and affordable.

As a solo practitioner, Michael is able to acutely focus on the client and the unique facts involved in each case. This client focused philosophy is what sets Michael’s practice apart from many of the large volume firms in the Chicago area.
Michael has lived in Cook County all his life. He attended the DePaul University College of Law where he received his Jurist Doctor degree. Although his practice is confined primarily to the Cook and collar counties, he is available to consult on cases in other areas of Illinois.
Michael understands that legal services are essential for most people at some point in their lives. Exorbitant attorney fees can place those legal services outside the reach of the people who need them most. Michael is committed to providing legal services at a reasonable cost. Michael will provide you with a written estimate of what your case will likely cost to resolve. He will also keep you informed of any unexpected additional costs, allowing you to decide how to proceed.
