Amazing attorneys and staff…on top of their game!

I needed a good solid law firm to help me navigate my family law case. I live out of state which made things a bit tricky when it came to filing forms, serving, etc. I have worked with family law firms professionally for over 20 years, and have seen many attorneys..from good to bad and everything in ...between. I have never run across a law firm as responsive, kind, compassionate AND efficient as these guys! Micheal, Shaun, Branton, and Matthew - I cannot thank them enough for helping ease my stress in such a difficult situation. If you need any family law guidance - this is the firm to call. Hands down.

Exceptional Family Law Lawyer

Dedecker I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal support provided by Michael Dedecker during our adoption case. Facing a time-sensitive situation involving a novel law that most attorneys were hesitant to tackle, Michael stepped up to the challenge with unwavering dedication an...d professionalism. From the outset, Michael demonstrated his commitment to our case by exhaustively researching options and took time to seek the expertise when needed. Despite encountering dead ends in finding a more experienced attorney, Michael never wavered in his determination to assist us. He took it upon himself to thoroughly understand the complexities of the law in question and diligently gathered all necessary materials within an incredibly tight timeframe. When our case proceeded to trial, Michael's meticulous preparation and profound understanding of both the law and our circumstances were evident. He presented our case with confidence, clarity, and a depth of knowledge that instilled trust and assurance in us throughout the proceedings. Michael's unwavering support, professionalism, and expertise were invaluable assets throughout our legal journey. Thanks to his guidance and advocacy, we achieved a successful outcome that exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Dedecker to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable lawyer.

Very professional and supportive family lawyer

From the very beginning of our journey through the complex legal landscape of family law, Michael stood out as not just a lawyer, but as a beacon of hope for our family. Initially, we brought him on board for what was to be a de facto hearing. However, as our case evolved and became more intricate, M...ichael's role in our lives grew. Michael possessed an uncanny ability to simplify the convoluted legal processes we were facing. He meticulously broke down each step, ensuring we understood the implications and strategies at play. His approach was not just about guiding us legally but also about educating us, empowering us to make informed decisions throughout our case. Communication was one of Michael's strongest suits. He proactively kept us in the loop with every development, big or small. Whether it was through emails, phone calls, or in-person meetings, Michael made sure we were never left wondering what was happening with our case. His transparency built a foundation of trust that was invaluable during such a stressful time. Perhaps what set Michael apart the most was his calm and reassuring presence. Family law cases, especially those leading to adoption, are fraught with emotional highs and lows. Michael's steady demeanor was a constant source of comfort. Knowing he was on our side made the journey less daunting. His confidence and compassion alleviated much of the anxiety and uncertainty that often accompany legal battles. In the end, our case concluded more favorably than we could have ever imagined - we were able to adopt a child and officially welcome them into our family. This life-changing outcome was, without doubt, significantly influenced by Michael's unwavering dedication, profound expertise, and heartfelt commitment to our case. Choosing Michael as our attorney was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Not only did he navigate us through the legalities with unparalleled professionalism, but he also provided moral support that transcended the typical attorney-client relationship. For anyone facing the complexities of family law, especially those considering adoption, Michael is an exceptional choice. His impact on our family will be cherished forever.

Excellent Lawyer

When we first talked with Michael, we immediately got the feeling that he was honest, truth worthy, transparent and knowledgeable. Michael proved to be all of that and more throughout the entire court process. We have had other layers, and I can’t understate how important it is to have a lawyer who c...an communicate with you with these qualities during a child custody case. I would 10/10 recommend Michael and continue to use him in the future for any needs.

A father desperate for help!

In 2020 I found Michael DeDecker on this exact site when I was desperately searching for an attorney who specialized in helping fathers. For years several members of my family were falsely accused of abusing my son. We were subjected to multiple police visits, CPS investigations, court appearances ...and medical visits that all unanimously returned unfounded. I needed someone familiar with parental alienation and emotional abuse to help me fight for my son. After reading what Michael’s clients and peers had to say about him, I knew he was the way to go. It took two long years that included a 3111-mediation report, multiple court dates and finally a trial. Michael did an excellent job presenting the facts and the judge ruled in my favor. I went from almost losing my son to having him over 70% of the time. From the moment I met Michael until today his calm demeanor and character has remained the same. He is professional, accessible, sincere, and personally made sure I understood what was happening at all times. He never hesitated communicating information even if it was difficult or something I didn’t want to hear. Michaels actions and responses always reflected what was best for my son. Today my son is thriving, playing sports, going to therapy, excelling in school and is safe! I don’t see Michael as only my attorney but a friend who helped me through one of the hardest times of my life!
