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.

Great and efficient attorney
Michael did a wonderful job in securing assets for all the beneficiaries of an old estate with many complex issues. Michael was very efficient and professional in untangling the legal web, which involved a successor executors and successor beneficiaries.

Lost inheritance
Michael contacted my brother and I about inheritance we both thought was lost to us for good. He reached out to us, walked us through the whole process, answered all of our questions, and kept us informed every step of the way. He was very patient with us. Absolutely wonderful!!

Excellent
I hired Michael to assist my family in the recovery of a lost inheritance from my great uncle out of state that we previously didn’t even know existed. He was extremely responsive, professional and kept us informed throughout the whole process. The money was delivered last month.
"I've worked with Mike on many cases over the years. He is an outstanding and extremely knowledgeable attorney. I endorse this lawyer and highly recommend him."
