Knows the his way around the courtroom

I have hired Michael twice. He beat my first case and walked me to the door of trial on the second, where the state made an offer I couldn't refuse. He was very flexible with payments and understanding. The people complaining that you didn't walk away from the justice system unscathed because you hir...ed an attorney, lol welcome to the American justice system. Michael is a skilled attorney not a free get out of jail card. My only complaint with him was being late a few times to court. Even though he always called balliff and let them know his approximate arrival time. All in all genuinely nice guy and great attorney. Would hire him again if ever needed but that chapter in life is over. I would recommend Michael to a friend in trouble.

BEST CHICAGOLAND LAWYER AROUND!

I don't know why the idiots are filling your heads with lies, but Michael is the best lawyer around. He saved my sons life and I can't thank him enough. Although I won't say the details of the case, my son could have been facing 20 years in jail if it wasn't for Michael. He should be getting paid DOU...BLE the amount he charges for his kind of work! Best Chicagoland lawyer around!

the real truth

I disagree with the negative things that are being said about Michael. From the very beginning of taking my fiance case we agreed upon a payment plan however it has been several months laterindicate is over I still owe him Money,he has been very understanding about my financial stabilityand has not ...one time made harassing phone callsas a matter of facthe assured me that he understoodthat sometimes life just shows up so when I read beans concerning michael talking about easy money hungry it upset me because that is not who he is at all.and it's really said that social media allows a person to assassinate one's character but then again it also allows a path way for a person's real character to be seen,Thank you Mr. Holzman I'm forever grateful.

Amazing Attorney

I met Mr. Holzman in 2013, after being referred to his expert and professional work history. My boyfriend had a long history of drug selling as well as other serious felony on convictions, he was facing 15 yrs and was on parole as well as house arrest, michael looked at all of the evidence pointed ...out the facts and told us the best options however he explained to us that whatever we decided to do that he would fight to the end. My boyfriend got 3 1/2 now I know people may read this and say well he didn't get him off and I say to all of u that cases are about evidence, witnesses and fact, that's all an attorney has to work with alone with knowing the law and loop holes. So I say this concerning Mr. Holzman it wasn't about the money he actually care and what better person to have on your side than an attorney that is honestly concern about you. So people trust me when I say if your looking for someone who not only puts his heart into you and your circumstances but his skills to work knowing the system and finding a way to best serve and please his clients.

Saved My Life

I don't know about these other idiots, but Mr. Holzman literally saved my life. I was wrongfully charged with First Degree Murder and sat in jail for two years while my previous lawyer told me that my case was hopeless and that I would have to accept a plea bargain of 35 years in prison. Mr. Holzma...n was tireless in fighting my case and argued a winning self-defense justification. You will find no finer trial lawyer.
