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.

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.

Simply Awesome!
I was very skeptical when I received a letter from Mr Theisen and honestly disregarded it. I’m glad I thought better if it. He did exactly what he said he would do.
"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."
