Great divorce attorney

I switched attorneys to work with Mike Botti, and it was the best decision I made. He immediately identified issues in my previous paperwork, corrected them, and guided me toward the best possible outcome given my situation. Mike is the kind of lawyer who genuinely wants the best for his clients- he’...s thorough, diligent, and gets things done the right way. His strong relationships within DuPage County and his positive reputation were clear throughout the process. I’m incredibly grateful for how he wrapped up my divorce while prioritizing both my kids’ best interests and mine. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him to anyone who needs a trustworthy, effective attorney!

Amazing Lawyer

Mike Botti is hands down the best attorney I know. He works hard for his clients and it shows. I've been represented by him during my divorce, for traffic issues, and for a criminal case that could have landed me in jail for many, many years. In 3 different counties for each. He's always on time, he...'s prepared for court, he communicates with you so you understand exactly what's going on, and most of all,he has gotten me the best results possible for ALL of my cases, every single time. This man has probably been to court for me 50 times and he has never once been late or not shown up. And his fees are not unaffordable by any means. He is worth every single penny and then some! I recommend him to anyone I can because he really does have his clients best interest in mind.

Great attorney

Mike was referred to me by a friend after I was stuck in a very bad position. He took the time to review my case and agreed to assist me. After a contentious back and forth battle with the court system for over a year, I can say, I owe my career and freedom to him. A great attorney who is extremely k...nowledgeable and fair.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
