Wonderful Lawyer to Support Our Family with Our Adoption

Michael was a wonderful, supportive lawyer that assisted/navigated us through our journey to adopt our nephew. He knew exactly what to do and if he had any questions, he would get back to us right away. It was such a relief to have someone guiding us through the process when there are so many "t's ...to cross and i's to dot". Adoption can be an emotional time, but Michael was our sense of security during this process. We could call him with any questions that we had. He was a calming, knowledgeable lawyer with a compassionate side to him. He supported us, his clients, and assured us along the way. We would definitely recommend Michael for anyone seeking advice with a seamless adoption. Our family is so incredibly thankful for what he did for us. We can't thank him enough.

Would recommend, great attorney

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

Best Attorney Ever

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.

Highly Recommended

We came to Michael to help us with legal documentation in regards to our baby on the way via surrogacy. Michael made the entire process simple, easy to understand, and stayed on top of everything for us. Michael was also really competitively priced compared to the many other lawyers that we consult...ed with. Michael did so well with our surrogacy documentation that we also used him to help us with a separate legal matter. We highly recommend Michael for your legal needs.

PROJECT MANAGER

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.
