Mr. Hudzik handled post-decree issues that arose in my divorce case. He was professional, courteous, extremely knowledgeable regarding the issues in the case, and, in my opinion, went above and beyond to settle the case to my satisfaction, which he ultimately did. I already have and will continue to recommend his services to anyone.
Michael was excellent in his representation. He communicated everything, worked hard to reach a resolution outside of litigation but wasn’t afraid to take the case to trial in order to resolve it. I was very happy with him and although I hope to never need his legal representation again, if I do, I know he’ll do a wonderful job. He was a pleasure to work with and I have the utmost respect for him as a person and as an attorney.
DEDICATED DIVORCE ATTORNEY TO HELP YOU FIND THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. CALL FOR A FREE CONSULTATION.
The most gratifying part of practicing matrimonial law is to be able to give guidance and help people through one of, if not the most, difficult times of their lives. My goal in most cases is to help clients resolve their issues in an amicable manner to a positive resolution, as the majority of cases do not proceed to trial. However, there are certain cases that cannot be settled for a multitude of reasons. As such, I am always prepared to litigate the issues. I maintain the mindset of a litigator while always being open to discussing settlement. Being prepared to take the case to trial, often times, will result in a more favorable result through settlement. I started my legal career practicing in a wide variety of areas of law, ranging from criminal law to real estate transactions to all areas of civil litigation. I now practice exclusively in the area of matrimonial law. My prior experience in other areas of law has been invaluable for my practice, as the practice of matrimonial law overlaps with so many other areas of law and requires knowledge of these other areas of law. When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, and playing basketball. I was born and raised in the Chicago area, where I currently reside with my wife and three children.
Client's Choice is an Avvo award granted to attorneys with a significant number of client reviews over 4 stars in a given year.

Great Experience all around
Dear Readers,
It is my pleasure to share my experience with Michael Hudzik as my lawyer. I started working with Michael Hudzik at the end of August 2022, after reading his reviews on Avvo. Michael Hudzik offered honest guidance in making the process as speedy and uncumbersome as possible. I wanted the divorce to be as amicable as possible. Michael made the divorce paperwork easy to read and understandable as possible. Also, impressive was his communication skills. I was never left wondering if he received a text message or an email. As we partnered together to get the job done, he continued to guide and advise me as necessary. Within approximately 6 weeks, my husband and me were divorced.

Outstanding legal work
Michael Hudzik is the best lawyer I have ever hired. I was on a verge of losing until I fired my lawyer and hired Michael instead. He swooped in at the last minute and revived our case. He is sharp, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly he put in the work to make sure we presented the absolute strongest arguments possible. I would recommend Michael Hudzik to anyone, he is an exceptional attorney.

Excellent Advocate
Mike represented me in my very difficult divorce. My ex refused to settle and seemed determined to make the process as difficult as possible. When we went to trial, there were complicated issues involving my ex's business that Mike navigated perfectly. He was also compassionate and honest with me throughout the process. I highly recommend.

Michael was very professional and helped me through a difficult divorce. He was my second divorce attorney and I’m very happy I made the switch. He was able to get it settled and over within 3 months of working on the case. Highly recommend.

Excellent Attorney
Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Michael was nothing was "sugar coated". He was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going through a child custody case from start to finish, Michael kept me informed of each step and what the options and risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep me happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Michael and I had great conversations and he was very honest about what I could expect as far as outcomes based on the "law". Which was extremely helpful during the process.
Michael made himself available to answer any texts, emails, or calls when I had questions and even in times of crisis. I was very grateful for the attention that he gave to the case.
One last thing that I was grateful for was how empathetic and compassionate Michael was during this whole process. This was something that was very difficult to go through and he was very understanding which is something you don't often get from an attorney.

Working with Michael Hudzik was great. He assured me along the way, made me feel comfortable and confident in the decisions that I had to make throughout the divorce process. Was always very transparent and would always be conscious of my financial situation and would offer options that might have saved me money towards the end of the process. Very responsive to my questions and emails. Would even respond to text messages that I would send for real quick questions. Was very happy with the work and results that I received from Michael Hudzik. Would recommend him to anyone that was in need of a family law attorney.

Efficient & Knowledgeable
Working with Michael made a very stressful situation, much more calming. His knowledge of family law made me feel safe in my decision making during my divorce and situations that arose afterwords. Seven years after my divorce I have recently had to reach out two times for consulting and Michael was more than happy to help, clearly remembered me as a client and gave me sound and solid advice. Using this firm is a wise choice!

Family Attorney | Apr 25
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I currently am in the midst two (2) divorce matters in which Mr. Hudzik is the opposing counsel.
