I concentrate on two areas of law.
First, I help guide people who are selling their homes from signing the contract to the closing on the house. I don't charge an hourly rate, and I don't ask for a retainer. I work on a flat fee, and that flat fee is only due if the home closes. Usually, the attorney fee is in the range of $500.
Second, I help people locate and recover lost inheritances and unclaimed property. I don't charge an hourly rate, and I don't ask for a retainer. I work on a contingency fee. That means I get paid only if the client gets his unclaimed property. Usually, the contingency fee is 25%-33%.
If you have a question, the consultation is free.

Prior to practicing law, I served in the White House and on several presidential and gubernatorial campaigns.
Today, I live in the northern suburbs of Chicago with my wife Lauryn and our three daughters.

Michael Theisen
Because I am a skeptic, it took me a year to respond to Michael Theisen's letter informing me that as my brother's sole heir I was entitled to unclaimed funds due to him years before. Once I responded, Michael kept me informed, and yesterday I received a substantial check. It was painless and efficie...

Top-notch attorney!
He did exactly what he claimed he would do. He contacted me regarding a sum of money owed to me in regard to a foreclosure from 15 years ago. He did all the leg work. And within a month I received the money. Great attorney to hire. Highly recommended.
