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.

Highly Recommended DIvorce Attorney

Mike did an outstanding job representing me in a challenging divorce case. He was extremely patient and understanding when listening to my situation. MIke also clearly communicated strategic options when deciding how to approach the case and the potential risks of each. Mike's openness, strategic ...vision, and court presence is outstanding. I have personally recommended Mike to 2 of my friends who are contemplating divorce and I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a compassionate yet aggressive attorney. Not that it matters but my ex is very apprehensive about going back to court with me again.

highly recommended

I have recommended him to my family and he is working for my brother in his custody case right now. Mr chapski and his firm helped me to regain custody of my children after my ex husband fled to arkansas and filed a bogus temporary order of custody to keep them from me. Not only did he get them retur...ned to me with full custody my ex husband went to jail the same day. I dont know what I would have done had it not been for Michael and his firm THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!

Hard working, exceptional counsel

On the advice of a friend, I retained Mike to help me with some difficult post-divorce matters. 4 weeks ago I was in a world of hurt after a very troubling 3 years. Today it is over - resolved, case dismissed, and I am on better terms with my ex than ever.
