This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The very best Criminal Defense Attorney, especially in the City of Chicago

This is the first time I've worked with a lawyer, so I can’t compare Mike to other lawyers practicing in the same area. But it's hard for me to imagine any possible way that my case could have been handled better or with more ease if I had worked with a different lawyer. Mike understands the lega...l processes, knows the people in the system, and is capable of predicting and fighting for the best results for his clients. I am sure all of these capabilities are the important factors that would make any lawyer successful and reliable. But what really made Mike stand out is how much he cares. To me, he is more than just a lawyer, he is also a friend, almost like a family member. Throughout the entire process, his goal was not only achieving the best possible result but also making it as painless as possible. Mike is extremely patient, understanding and comforting. He is able to use the simplest language to clearly explain the situation, process, and potential outcomes, while considering all possible implications for the future and finding the best solution. And above all, he is so giving and generous with his time, making you feel he has all the time in the world just for you… Before I found Mike, I felt like my world had ended. After my first phone call with him, I could only think to myself: “this is too good to be true.” Now, a few months later, I am sitting here writing this review and thinking “it is indeed too good, but it is very true!.” Thank You, Mike, for all you have done for me and my family!
