Posted by Kelly | October 10, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Family

Good reputation, a nice person.

Within the limits of what can be stated. I hired Mike, as an unmarried father, with almost no rights under Illinois law. Mike seemed to be doing a good job but he didn't show up at court dates, and the case was defaulted and my ex got it transferred from Morgan County to Cook County. There were e...mergency petitions for my sons protection that as a result were never acted upon.
