Attentive & Capable

Michael was hired to assist in a divorce case involving children. He was attentive and showed true interest in what was important to me from our first meeting all of the way through the process. He and his staff were easy to reach and either got to me before I even had a question, or were quick to ...reply when I did reach out to them. Just as important, he knew what he was doing and I felt I was in capable hands during a very rough time for my family. I highly recommend Michael for anyone needing legal assistance in these areas.

Highly Recommend Michael Chapski

Michael Chapski represented me over the last 18 months in dealing with the aftermath of a long separation and challenging divorce. From the time Michael accepted my case, I knew I was in capable hands. I was referred to Michael through another respected attorney in town because of his knowledge, t...rack record of success, compassion and respect in the legal community. From the beginning, Michael was my voice in the courtroom. He worked closely with me on strategy so we could avoid trial and negotiate a fair settlement. He was extremely attentive and provided email responses and court updates within 24 hours. On the final day of prove up, I was proud to walk into that courtroom with Michael by my side. He absolutely commands the respect of the court with his professionalism and legal knowledge. Through his compassion, professionalism and just pure kindness, Michael made this journey for me bearable. I will forever be grateful to Michael and his firm.

Divorce / Rehabilitative Maintenence Review of Mike Chapski

As a client, I experienced working directly with Mike Chapski and his staff for an initial divorce agreement and then a maintenance review case. In addition to understanding the emotional stress accompanying such an event, Mike's communication and follow-up (via phone calls and emails) to keep me ...up-to-date was superb. He provided me with realistic expectations prior to the initial settlement agreement and again later at a review hearing. Mike demonstrated complete understanding of my personal case facts and extensive timeline of events during a cross examination court hearing event which led to the vital facts of my case coming out and our position being supported by the Judge. During the hearing, Mike's professionalism and the mutual respect to and from the Judge was obvious, compared to my ex's counsel who wanted to argue with the Judge. Regarding the final arguments from counsel, Mike diligently followed the Judge's requests and provided a clear, well-written, and case-law supported final document. I strongly recommend Michael Chapski's services for anyone seeking advice with Divorce and Separation.

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

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.
