Michael Wasserman knows his stuff

Mr. Wasserman was our lawyer for our purchase of an apartment in Chicago. He was truly on our side, looking out and guiding us through the potholes of the transaction. He was very responsive and always quickly answered our email questions. I would highly reccomend Michael.

You could not ask for more . .

My husband and have nothing but rave reviews regarding Michael's service. This is the 2nd time we have used his services for a real estate transaction and his service has been exemplary. I am one of those clients that likes to ask numerous questions and he always responded with detailed answers in a... timely fashion. He was extremely thorough during closing and made sure that we did not have any questions that weren't addressed and that we understood all the documents that we were signing. I feel like in most cases after the closing you do not hear much for your attorney but his follow up was top notch. He made us feel like we could reach out to him at any time if we came up with questions down the line post closing. Most of these transactions involve issues and he rose to the occassion during the entire process. We plan on using him for another transaction in the near future!

If you need an experienced real estate attorney, hire Michael

we recently hired Michael for our first home purchase in Lincolnshire, IL and we cannot recommend him enough. He was knowledgeable, respectful and efficient and always on time. We had a pretty sticky situation with our first contract because the house did not appraise 2 out of 3 times but even thro...ugh that he was so helpful that we hired him again without hesitation when we found another house a month later. He will always answer every question and never miss any detail and explain everything in terms that are comprehensible for people like us who have no experience with law. We cannot recommend him enough!

Real Estate purchase-single family home

Michael was very competent and responsive in providing legal advice for the purchase of our single family home. He was always available to talk and provided summary and status documents regularly to keep us on track throughout the process. During closing he was patient and clear. He helped us get... the most out of our transaction.

Highest Recommendation

Mike Wasserman was our real estate attorney for both our recent condo sale in the city of Chicago and our purchase of a single-family home in the Western Suburbs. Mike was recommended to us by our real estate agent, and we could not be any more pleased with the recommendation. We had challenges al...ong the way with both our sale and purchase. Mike provided excellent guidance in all situations and educated us well enough to keep us calm. His advice was tremendous. He helped us not to worry about matters that were not important, but was very clear when there were things we needed to watch out for, or decisions we needed to make. There were several times along the way when I had many questions for Mike. He was always very responsive as well as very patient as he helped me to navigate through matters that I did not understand well. He was always completely reliable. Mike's competence in this field is quite obvious, but we enjoyed working with him as much due to the interpersonal relationship as much as the skill. He is professional and courteous yet has a great sense of humor that is calming and that he manages to work into the relationship while always maintaining that level of professionalism. We would recommend Mike without hesitation and will certainly look him up for similar needs in the future. No complaints and nothing but positive things to say about Mike.
