Easy To Work With And Always Accessible

Our experience was positive with no issues. Hubby and I were assigned to work with attorney John M. Aylesworth on our closing and he was thorough and responsive. He answered all of our questions, reviewed the documents and communicated everything to us in layman's terms. It was a great experience. P...lus, he's a nice guy. And that always matters to me. I highly recommend this firm.

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!

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 person to have at closing

We have worked with Mike twice: as a seller, and because we liked that experience so much, as a buyer as well. He is an excellent lawyer, very quick and prompt to respond, and very accessible. He is polite, helpful and very much on your side during contentious situations. We worked with him to buy... a foreclosed home, and Mike gave us as much peace of mind as was possible, while we negotiated with investors that owned that property. Suffice it to say that we successfully closed on our new home. My wife and I will continue to work with him in the future, as well as recommend him to family and friends.
