Eviction

Mr. DeSantis was very prompt in returning emails with many questions I had through this case. I was briefed on what to expect and was constantly assured about the strength of our case. Mr. DeSantis was proactive in asking for the documentation he needed for the case. We won this case and the best par...t was I did not have to even show up to court!

Eviction of tenant from my condo in Schaumburg, IL

I hired Mike to handle the eviction of a tenant at my condo in Schaumburg, IL. He was very clear on the pricing and told me that I could contact him anytime I needed him. I thought the pricing was very reasonable and I really liked the fact that he said I could contact him anytime. In the past when I... hired lawyers, they would charge me anytime I would needed consultation. They would charge me for just talking to them. As the eviction process progressed, he always kept me in the loop on what he accomplished and what the next steps would be. He gave me the option to pursue a money judgement and told me the pros and cons. With the information he provided, I was able to make an informed decision to not go after the money judgement. My main concern was to get the tenant out of the condo quickly. I also knew that the tenant was not working and did not have any money. From the start of the case until we got possession of the property, I must have emailed and called Mike numerous times. He always replied back to me and never got frustrated. His would always end the call or email with "Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions". He was also very polite on the phone and gave me the latest details about the case. Mike is a very intelligent person, nice to interact with, and gets the job done. He was there for me every step of the eviction process. I felt very comfortable knowing that Mike was handling my eviction case. I would definitely recommend Michael J. DeSantis to anyone who wants to evict a tenant. I will also tell my friends and family about Mike.

Protected us from a bad landlord

Michael provided plenty of advise and expertise which protected us from a bad landlord that was not fulfilling their obligations. Even after we moved out and found a subleaser, the landlord would not show the apartment to the subleaser or even advertise. Then months later, the landlord threatened t...o sue us for rent after we moved out. Due to many illegal activities that this landlord had done and that Michael helped us identify, we did not get "screwed" by this unfortunate management company and landlord.
