A FANTASTIC attorney

I can't begin to state enough positive things about Mike. My divorce was extremely contentious. My ex-wife lost her custodial parenting rights. She was not even awarded court supervised visits with my children. My ex went through three attorneys, while Mike continued to be a stabilizing influence..., advocate and voice of reason through the most difficult time in my life. Mike immediately responded to calls, messages and even texts. He was very open, honest and did not present false, or unlikely outcomes. Quite honestly, Mike is very much a person who over delivers. We had a terrible Guardian ad litem assigned to my divorce. The GAL was absolutely determined to have the kids remain with their mother, even though she was the perpetrator of unspeakable child abuse. Mike managed this issue in a wonderful manner, assured the kids were well protected and that I was well represented. Mike's rates are fair. There is absolutely no over billing. I highly recommend Mike! Also, the staff at Chapski Law was always kind and very responsive. All very good people to work with!

Highly Recommend - Reliable!

I hired Mr. Chapski in April of 2012 for my divorce. He was extremely knowledgeable and caring of my feelings during an emotional time. He was considerate of my budget and wasted no time. He fought for everything I deserved and then some and, in the end, prevailed. He did not drag out the process... either. What makes Michael Chapski an exceptional attorney is that he was there for me even AFTER my divorce as well. Things with my ex post divorce got really ugly and at one point dangerous. I called Mr. Chapski for an urgent matter involving the safety of my child and he did not hesitate to speak to me immediately and after hearing my situation he jumped into action and was able to get us in front of a judge quickly and with his expertise and knowledge, my child is safe. I have had to turn to Mr. Chapski repeatedly over the past 6 years pertaining to post decree issues and Mr. Chapski has never failed me. Always prompt to return calls and emails and willing to give wonderful advice. I have recommended several friends and coworkers and they too speak highly of his abilities and professionalism. I know that if I ever need Mr. Chapski's advice or services I can call or email him, and he will respond with no hesitation. You cannot go wrong with Mr. Chapski!!! He and his firm are HIGHLY respected within the Kane County Judicial system as I have heard straight from judges themselves how they respect the Chapski firm.

Top-Notch Attorney with High Morals and Ethics!

Michael Chapski represented me over the last several years in dealing with the aftermath of a very ugly divorce. It was very complicated, with many moving parts. Not only did Mr. Chapski tenaciously stay on top of every detail, he assisted in bringing to light some very damaging evidence against my e...x-wife that ultimately aided in getting a settlement overwhelmingly in my favor. Most importantly, the settlement protects my children. I am happy to say that my kids well-being and financial future are now protected, thanks to Mr. Chapski’s hard work. He not only focused on winning the issues in the case in the short-term, but creating an agreement that would be in the best interest of my children in the long-term. It was a proactive approach to dealing with potential situations that could arise in the future with my ex in regards to our children. The terms of the settlement agreement will also hopefully eliminate any future court appearances. As are most post-divorce issues involving children, they are fused with much drama and emotion. Michael is excellent at keeping the facts the focus but at the same time realizing the sensitivity around some subjects. A few things to highlight: 1 – Mr. Chapski’s billing was extremely fair and accurate. 2 – He was very attentive to my needs with a prompt return of phone calls and e-mails 3 – There was always very thorough preparation/attention to detail 4 – He had a complete knowledge and understanding of the moving parts of our case – a case with 10 years of back-history 5 - He was tenacious in crafting an acceptable settlement that would protect my children 6 – He ALWAYS kept the best interests of my children at the forefront 7 – He has a great deal of integrity and a strong moral and ethical compass

"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.

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.
