I attended the University of Chicago and University of Michigan where I earned a BA with Distinction from the Honor's College and an MBA from the Ross School of Business. I also worked my way through DePaul University College of Law where I received an American Jurisprudence Award in Professional Responsibility. I am president of the law firm I started in 1995.  I have also held Series 7 and 63 licenses, a business broker's license, and am a title insurance agent.  I am a member of several professional organizations including the American Bar Association, Will County Bar Association, and DuPage County Bar Association where I chaired several committees and received a Board of Directors' Award and edited the Bar Journal.

Review Mazyar Hedayat

Excellent attorneys!

Posted by

Mr. Hedayat and Mr. Sheperd were professional, responsive, and always on top of our case. They did a great job from start to finish, answered all questions we had, and ultimately got the job done for us. Thank you!

Business and personal bankruptcy assistance

Posted by

I first went to consult with Mazyar regarding a business and personal bankruptcy. Mazyar was very attentive to my case through the entire process and his personal assistant (Theresa) is very knowledgeable and assisted greatly in helping guide me on decisions to be made. Mazyar and his team did not rush through my case just to get paid but took the appropriate time needed to get the best results for me. They were able to have my business bankruptcy finalized and best of all they helped me so I did not have to file a personal bankruptcy. My life is back in order thanks to them.

On top of it!

Posted by

My company has had Mazy and his team on retainer for 2.5 years, and it has bee the smartest decision for us legally and mentally. We are very confident and happy with our representation. Even if we have a simple question or a massive disaster on our hands, we are always relieved and know that Mazy and his team are just a phone call away. Someone always gets back to us the same day we make a phone call; even if it is just to fill us in on what is going on at the time, which is helpful for me so I can sleep better knowing the situation is under review. I have to mention too, that seeing how Mazy and his team handle situations for my company, it was a no-brainer that my husband chose them for legal representation with his business as well. I cannot say how appreciative we are to have a respectable, thorough team behind all our legalities.

Real Estate Attorney - the BEST

Posted by

Eric and Theresa were fantastic... this firm is by far the best there is ... the closing process was easy and stress free .. answered all my questions fast.. & felt I was in great hands the entire way through

Honest, knowledgeable, and caring, law firm

Posted by

I am trying not to cry and type at the same time. Thank you all so much. I will not hesitate to recommend M. Hedayat & Associates to anyone who is looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and caring, law firm. I know I was a bit of a 'pain in the butt', as far as your office's request for info., but I knew in order for this situation to be resolved, I had to comply with all requests. Thank you for being honest, and you told it 'like it is'. Now, I have to call that first attorney and thank him again for refering your firm to me. Oh, believe it or not, being in court was very interesting, listening to all the cases. I was nervous, talking to the Trustee, but I saw how confident you were and I felt better. Thanks,

STAND OUT LAYWER AND LAW FIRM

I have known Mazy Hedayat as his client for five years. Since my first meeting with him I was and still am impressed with his knowledge of the law and his strong work ethic. Mazy has worked on two cases for me. Both outcomes were a complete success. One of the complaints filed by his office was quite lengthy and detailed. Mazy and his Team worked tirelessly and quite aggressively in bringing my complaint to a positive ending. While providing me with sound advice and keeping me completely informed along the way. Above all Mazy and his entire office treated me as a professional with complete respect at all times. I highly recommend Mazy and consider him my go to Lawyer for the future.

Always open to new ideas!

Posted by

Most lawyers would have been frustrated with my "outside the box "ideas, but not attorney Hedayat. He embraced my inovative real estate plans . Mazyar went over my contracts with expertise. I was blessed to find such a wonderful attorney.

Lee Zeidman, Litigation Attorney on Feb 26, 2013

Linscott Hanson, Business Attorney on Jun 6, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. He is a highly regarded leader in the dupage bar association, a prolific writer on business law and related subjects. He is a hard worker and a generous man who will take the time to aid his fellow lawyers.

Anthony Abear, Litigation Attorney on Mar 11, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I do endorse Mazi's work and work ethic. I've had the opportunity to see his work as well as to work along with him. He is an approachable, personable attorney with a hard work ethic.

Markus May, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Nov 30, 2007
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have served with Mazy on the DuPage County Bar Association Publication Board and know him to be a conscientious man with boundless energy. He is enthusiastic and a very good writer and editor. Though, I have not had the occasion to practice law with him, I would have no hesitancy in referring potential clients to him and believe he would do an excellent job for his client. As the editor-in-chief of the Publication Board he helped create a number of new initiatives including putting the Brief on the web and fully utilizing technology to improve things. He is an innovator, effective communicator, and leader and would undoubtedly bring these skills to bear for his clients.

Justin Gaffney, Real estate Attorney on Nov 27, 2007
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer's work. Mazy M. Hedayat is a skilled and knowledgeable attorney in many areas of the law. He is a pillar in the Dupage County Bar Association and is never short of giving his free time to assist others. Any prospective client will receive professionalism, knowledge, enthusiasm, and most important, his undivided attention. Sincerely, Justin R. Gaffney Gaffney & Gaffney
