I came to Michael and Deanna to help me with an adoption case and they pulled through with what was promised from the beginning. The entire office staff was very knowledgeable and they helped us out so much. They communicated everything back to us in such a timely manner. What I thought was going to be a very hard process turned into a walk in the park for me and my family because they worked their magic on the backend with the court. They fought hard for my husband to adopt my oldest and they won the case. Appreciate the girls in office who knew so much and took our calls and delivered our messages to the attorneys. Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very understanding team.

The attorneys and legal assistants at Newland were excellent. We had great service and attention to detail in our real estate transaction. They knew all the ins and outs of the transaction and really made a difference in our residential house closing. Would highly recommend the team to anyone needing experienced lawyers and a team to work with.

Simply put…Navy Seals talk about “The line.” You never call attorneys because things are going well. You call them when things aren’t and you need the help. In Family law, like medicine, the margin of error is zero and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Be it a child custody issue, a financial issue an emergency motion/filing or any other aspect of family law litigation: I’ve put this firm up to the task against some of the largest and most reputable law firms in the state. They are honest, they are fair, they are prompt and are more than knowledgeable about the ins and outs of Illinois family law, they represent you with integrity compassion and most importantly the understanding that every case is different. When my initial attorney retired he said if I needed help: this is who I’d call. Deanna and Michael and their team have helped me through the years over a myriad of complex legal issues and at every point at every turn no matter the problem they adapted, they improvised and most importantly: they overcame. Their staff is always knowledgeable about your case, court dates and any updates. They most certainly always have operated “Above the Line.”

Mike Strauss is one of the the most respected and professional attorneys concentrating in Divorce. Gary Newland Past President of the Northwest Suburban Bar

I highly recommend this group They are professional to the last minute . My closing was difficult yet .they made it easy!

Hire Michael Strauss before you lose the opportunity. He handled my family affairs with passion and conviction. His prompt communication and client-first orientation gave me confidence to believe I was in good hands. He ultimately secured the outcome I needed through quick, decisive actions. His skills and knowledge were on display throughout the process. I highly recommend.

We chose Newland & Newland to assist with purchasing a home. Service provided by this firm was outstanding. Scott, our assigned paralegal was very professional and thorough. He was knowledgeable and provided good advice. Even though we had a tight deadline required by the seller to close, Scott and his team pulled us through. Not only did he work normal hours but he read and responded to emails even at odd hours and throughout holiday weeks when the seller's legal team were out with no communication. On the day of closing, Katrine the assigned attorney was very friendly, bubbly, and still professional. She made going through the millions of pages of documents very easy to understandable and less boring. Overall we enjoyed the entire team and would definitely use Newland & Newland again.

Newland & Newland LLP 1512 Artaius Pkwy. Suite 300 Libertyville, IL 60048 Steve is an amazing lawyer! From the start to the end of his services, everything went smoothly and service was excellent. His response time to any and all questions was very quick. It's the same with his kind staff. I was never wondering what was happening next. He had everything squared away. Very friendly staff and environment. I have never had an attorney who was so happy to give most of my retainer back. Yes, you read correctly. He SAVED me so much money through this process!!!!

Steve has helped us every step of the way and was in constant communication and went way above our expectations. His expertise was more than we could ask for. Very pleased with his service.

Michael helping me so much trough a messy custody, child support and divorce. It was such a stressful time that he made easier. His staff was always in contact with me when I had questions. I highly recommend him to all my friends.

I was recommended to Strauss and Hoyt, by a very close friend of mine ( Earth Angel ), Michael and his team have supported and have kept me informed theu this difficult process, I love how they value my opinions about my divorce, which is highly contested, I believe that in the end they are about the person, they actually care ABOUT me.

Michael is an amazing attorney. I went thru a nasty divorce and got my kids almost 50/50 and helped me thru the whole process step by step explaining everything. Then after the divorce he helped me thru a nasty custody battle afterwards and I got my kids full time after I found out the kids mom was being abusive. Without him and his team I would not of been able to do it. The are very professional and very communicative. They put me at ease knowing that everything would be ok and would check on me time to time to see if I had any more questions. They answer every question and are very supportive. I highly recommend him and his firm.
