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.

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.
