First time buyer

Michael assisted me in the purchase of my first property and he was fantastic. From explaining all the concepts and the legal terms to following up with all entities participating in the deal and ensuring we understood the process, I'm glad I did not go anywhere else for help. He is a seasoned profes...sional who knows his stuff and I plan to close on more deals with him. He responds on time, communicates effectively, provides expert guidance on important choices and is very professional. I highly recommend his firm.

First Time Condo Buyer

I happened to come across one of Mike's blogs regarding real estate tax valuations and appeals and was instantly hooked to it. The information was presented in easy to understand language (non-legal speak) and very structured. Months later, by chance (and a pleasant one) my real estate agent recommen...ded Mike to serve as my attorney and I was extremely pleased the way him and staff handled the transactions. Mike was very patient, diligent and deliberate in his review and communications and listens to his client and offers candid opinions, which is what you could from an attorney. Although his fees were marginally higher than others, it was worth it and I recommend not skimping on a few dollars for such an important investment. I strongly recommend his services.

Mike is a true professional

Mike was our attorney for both our condo sale and new home purchase. He and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and were a tremendous help throughout the entire process. Both closings went through without a hitch due to Mike’s professionalism and due diligence. I would definitely hire Mike again....

Gets the job done

I worked with Michael both to sell a condo and purchase an three-flat apartment building. His performance was right on target in both transactions. The purchase was particularly complicated, as there were three co-owning households involved, and a "high maintenance" seller, yet his communication was ...timely and on point every step of the way.

New construction condo purchase Chicago

I worked with Michael for my recent new construction purchase.It was a delight from get go which helped me a lot since this was my first property purchase in USA! And thus i bombarded him with millions of ques and often long chats to understand the IL process. He was so thorough with the subject and ...even though some ques were unique he always had the response and patience in dealing with a new buyer like myself. The way he "owns" your case is amazing.Ex - at several instances post inspection he dealt with the seller's attorney in such a way it seemed like Michael was the buyer! Then again at closing the seller attorney was trying to push around the final punch list items they had to close.Michael asked them if they wanted to adjourn so seller could confirm acknowledgement of the final punchlist before I Closed the deal. At no stage did Michael drop the ball, due diligence etc. I will never go to anyone else besides Michael when it comes to real estate matters! And by the way...he was a reference to me. 2 of my friends had him as their attorney when they were buying and one of this friend has bought multiple properties and always had Michael represent him. That so aptly sums up what an amazing reference able attorney Michael is! Thank you Michael!
