Excellent real-estate attorney in the greater Chicago area!

My husband and I have worked with Mike twice already in the transactions of our properties in Chicago. Mike has represented us, both, as sellers and as buyers, which has allowed us to see his strong and well-rounded skillset as a real-estate attorney. In addition to being very professional, Mike is a...lso personable, asks good questions, and, due to his extensive experience with the real-estate market in the greater Chicago area, he is very careful on every detail of the transaction. When you hire Mike, he makes it clear that he works for you and goes well-beyond to fulfill that commitment - he has your best interest at heart and will explain in lay terms the intimidating legal language of most offers and is always there should you need advice on how to navigate less-common contract terms. There isn't a whole lot more I can say about Mike other than I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a real-estate transaction in the greater Chicago area - you will not be disappointed.

Great Framework

Michael helped us buy our first home. As a first time homebuyer, we had a lot of questions that needed answering. Michael sent us a great information package in his introductory e-mail, and that answered all our questions. He gave us a written timeline for the transaction, and what needed doing befor...e which date. These instructions made sure that we were on right track, leaving very little room for ambiguity. He was available at all times, and provided excellent representation for our part. I would definitely recommend Michael, and I will use Michael's services in future transactions!

Professional, Supportive Representation

We received excellent representation in Michael as the real estate attorney on our two-flat purchase. Incredibly prompt, professional, and detail-oriented, Michael was supportive every step of the way. This was our first-home buying experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better attorney to advo...cate for us and make for a smoother process. He kept us informed at every turn. We had an incredibly positive experience with Michael, and highly recommend him.

An advocate for his clients

My husband and I have worked with Michael three times now, most recently to sell our condo. Michael was a strong advocate for us during the selling process. After going through negotiations over the price (which included a closing credit), the home valuation came in lower than the sale price. Michael... negotiated a lower closing credit for us and kept us in the loop during every step of the process. His work is thorough and he is an excellent communicator. I highly recommend him.

Great attorney for first time homebuyers!

My wife and I recently purchased our first home. Michael was recommended to us by our real estate agent to help us with the legal side of the process. We found Michael to be very professional and communicative. He did a great job explaining things at every step of the way, and always had our best ...interests in mind. I would absolutely recommend Michael to anyone looking for legal representation in a real estate transaction.
