So nice and understanding

I just met Mr. Chapski today. I went to this meeting for custody of my son nervous and not knowing how it would go. He was so professional and caring. He made me feel like I have known him for years. I would recommend him forever. Afterwards I did some reaserch on him. What an honor it is to have him... represent my son in court. I couldn't have picked anyone better.

"Divorce from Hell" Made Easier

I had engaged an Attorney initally that decided that my case might be more than she could handle, so recommended Mike Chapski to me, and I am glad that she did. My divorce went to trial after attempting to negotiate a settlement with my ex-wife and he Attorney (s) "du jour". Mr. Chapski acted as a ...great advocate helping me to navigate a divorce complicated by an angry and spiteful ex-spouse that was happy to have a protracted divorce process. He was professional at every turn, and advised me in a way that ultimately saved me tens of thousands of dollars. Mike is extremely professional and clearly well respected by judges and his peer attorneys. I would highly recommend Mike and his services.

Efficient and Professional

Michael Chapski is a superb attorney. I had hired another attorney to handle my divorce and things were not going well. There was a lot at stake in my divorce and there were some unusual circumstances, including my being located in a different state. Michael was recommended to me and I called him for... a consultation. I shared with him my circumstances and what had happened in the divorce so far. His knowledge of the law and how it would affect my circumstances was excellent. He took over my case and did a fantastic job. He fought for me, something the first attorney was not doing. My divorce had gone on for over a year with no end in sight when I hired him, and Michael got a settlement for me within a matter of weeks. His professionalism, intelligence, knowledge of the law, integrity, and trustworthiness was outstanding. He commands respect from everyone when he enters the room and he does not back down. Yet everything that he does is totally honest and ethical. He knows good strategy and lines of communication between he and I were always open. I received a very fair settlement thanks to Michael. I cannot express enough appreciation to him for the excellent job that he did for me. Michael and his staff are the best in the Chicagoland area and I highly recommend him.

Honest hardworking lawyer that listens and gets the job done.

My divorce took 3 years, 15 months each with two other worthless money charging do nothing lawyers that couldnt get nothing done. I hired michael and he took control and communicated with the other lawyer and forced their hand to final the case. Michael always calls or emails back. The best part i ...appreciated was his ethics and when in front of judge and your ex, he new case law and didnt back down and forced things to happen. I was very impressed with the progress and how much he listened and new my case vs the past two unorganized lawyers. Wish i used michael in first place and saved thousands.

Professional and Ethical

I first hired an attorney out of big office in Dundee, IL that placed his feet on his desk during our first meeting. At that moment I should have known that he didn’t have my best interest in mind. After several mistakes were made by the now disbarred attorney, I quickly searched for a new attorney.... Mike Chapski came highly recommended through my brother. My brother has had personal and professional experiences with Mike. Throughout my divorce process, which lasted 16 months, Mike has always remained professional as well as personable while understanding family matters and confidentiality. His professionalism is well respected not only by his clients, peers, but the judges respect him as well. He is ultra-organized and immaculate about his work and it is always completed in a timely manner. Mike Chapski also assisted me with a custody evaluation conducted in 2011-2012. I was awarded sole custody with his assistance in 2012. Throughout the process, Mike was very helpful guiding me through the exasperating and stressful evaluation process as well as aligning the proper paper work to keep the process moving. For some odd reason the opposing side would forget about required paperwork due on scheduled court dates. Mike was always on time for court and had what was asked of us or him on the scheduled dates. This was very important to me because I, and like others, cannot afford mistakes. Mike assisted me by answering detailed questions promptly via email or by phone even though he was out of the office or even on vacation! He has always been polite, yet firm in court while in front of the judge. The reason I would recommend Mike to another individual is because of his high code of business ethics and he truly sees what the judge would probably see in any case or legal matter.
