About Mike
Biography
I was born, raised and educated in Chicago. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago (1983) and the John Marshall Law School (1987). I worked as an associate attorney in three different law firms until 1996 when I started my own law practice in the northwest suburbs, and eight years ago I moved my office to Schaumburg. Over the years I have focused my law practise to the areas of Real Estate Law, Estate Planning and Probate Law. The nature of my practice has me handing matters which are very personal to my clients, and I work hard to make my clients feel comfortable in discussiing these matters, and having confidence that I will help them achieve their goals.
