Great support!

Great support from Mike, very professional and experienced! This is the second time he supports us for the acquisition of a property and I highly recommend him!

Real Estate Closing

Michael was referred to me by our realtor. I was impressed with all the positive reviews. We used Michael to close on the sale of our 4 flat building in West Rogers Park . He was very efficient and the closing went smoothly. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a real estate attorne...y. I also liked the fact that he donated a portion of his fees on our behalf to a charity of our choice .

Wonderful Real estate Attorney- Highly Recommend!

Michael is confident, fast, very organized & efficient! I hired him after our first interaction through the dot web site without further shopping for other attorneys. This was the first time I was buying a piece of real estate on my own- post divorce. Michael answered every question I had and ease...d any anxiety. Michael even answered questions/advocated for me when I did not even realize there were advocacy issues. Michael continues to send me emails which alert me to any issue that might need my attention such as keeping me aware of the status of the recording of my deed. Michael is definitely my attorney in my future real estate needs! I would highly recommend Michael to everyone!

Highly recommended

We hired Mike to represent us while we were buying a house. He answered all our questions promptly, dealt with some rocky negotiations smoothly, and guided us through closing expertly. He's been doing this for decades, and that experience shows.

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.
