Michael Albert Dedecker

Michael was very compassionate with my case, and walked me through everything patiently. I would recommend if you’re dealing with a narcissistic parent. Michael went above and beyond to help me, and he always got back to me in a reasonable amount of time. He also explained the court process to me in ...a way I’d understand better. Thanks Michael

I have retained Michael Dedecker two separate times now. One time about 10 years ago when I was in a horrible situation with my sons dad. He was so professional and easy to work with. He is always responsive and understand the justice system better then anyone I know. He is well respected my the judg...es and has been available for me whenever I needed to discuss the case. He was able to obtain full custody for me for my son who was in a horrible situation with his dad. The more recent care was yesterday with my boyfriends daughter who lives with us part time. Once again even after all these years, he did his research, made the process as easy as possible and the outcome was exactly what my boyfriend and I wanted again in this case. We wanted to have 50/50 back in place after an ex parte was filed. He worked with us on what needed to happen and what was best for the consistency of the child. I know child custody agreements are beyond stressful and he helps put you at ease understanding all the proper forms and procedures. I would recommend Michael to anyone out there. Although for my own situations I hope I don't have to retain him again in the future I would do it in a heartbeat.

Mike is not just a skilled attorney but a genuinely nice and empathetic person. That's very important, as you dont see that often. You need to be able to trust your attorney and I always felt Mike had my best interest at heart. He's personally become a friend now that our business relationship has e...nded with the conclusion of my case. He spent countless hours talking to me and really helped me feel better in this very complicated child custody case/ divorce. He always welcomed me to visit his office if it was an urgent matter we needed to resolve and always made time for me. I recommend him with zero hesitation.

I was referred to Mr. DeDecker through a friend who had hired Michael for his case. I was looking for an attorney who was smart, accessible, and a shark in the courtroom. He is just that. My case was very complicated involving a custody battle with my very young child. Michael was very attentive and ...listened to every detail of my case. He was not afraid to take on my case and start right away with getting things done. He was very honest and helped me navigate the waters as effectively as possible. One thing I truly appreciated is that he was very efficient when it came to email and phone calls. Michael always answered any and ALL of my questions in a very quick time frame and took the time to call me for any and all of my questions. He always kept me in the loop oin what was happening. Even if iI called after normal work hours he would take my call. When it came to the dealing with the very difficult opposing counsel he was extremely diligent on making sure paperwork was handled in a timely manner. Michael did not let the opposing council off the hook and made sure they knew we meant business. In the courtroom he is a means business. Mr. DeDecker is very smart and will to what is happening. I appreciated his strong backbone in the courtroom. I am so grateful for Mr. DeDecker's services. He truly is an amazing attorney. He is professional, persistent, compassionate and very very hard working, He does not simply take his clients for face value but truly cares about your well being and reaching the best outcome possible. He is invested in each and every case. I am so thankful for his services and will absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking a child custody attorney, We could not have done it without him.

I was referred to Michael through an online foster parent support group. We needed advice regarding an upcoming hearing and I had already contacted several other attorneys with no luck. Michael responded quickly and immediately made himself available for a telephone consultation. He listened to ou...r present concerns and provided advice regarding our next steps. With his guidance and expert recommendations, I was able to file the necessary paperwork that day. Michael was able to ease our concerns and empower us to advocate for our foster child in the best manner possible. Thank you!
