EXCELLENT Based on 50 reviews Posted on Vicki GrossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I talked with Michael last week regarding a probate issue for my sister who died and lived in Illinois but, has interest in a small piece of property in Michigan. He gave valuable advice to only file in Michigan, he didn't think we needed to file in Illinois. Turns out he was correct. I know another lawyer might have taken advantage and filed in Illinois anyway and took our money. If I need any type of legal advice moving forward in Illinois, this is the firm I will use. He was honest and kind.Posted on JerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
