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.

Much thanks
I was contacted by Mr Theisen regarding an inheritance that my father had. Skeptical at first and after quite a few letters from the law firm I contacted Mr Theisen to obtain more information.

Excellent experience
I’m not exactly sure how he was able to do this, but Michael found out that my sister and I were owed a substantial inheritance from our grandfather’s trust. He found us and let us know that he could help. I was absolutely dubious, but I’m very happy to say that I was mistaken. He made the entire pro...
