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.

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.”

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.

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.

Deanna was Great!!! Always got back to me quickly! Always made sure I understood what was going on and made the process as quick and painless as possible! Advocate for what I wanted and didn’t charge me a million dollars! Thanks Deanna!!!

I wish I had found Mike when I first started my divorce, I unfortunately didn’t, and spent over a year and a half being put through the ringer with three other attorneys. When I finally found Mike, I felt like I found someone who was on my side and things were going to be okay. I had a hard time getting ahold of attorney’s in the past, and when things got rough, or my ex tried to violate orders it was an extremely difficult time. Whereas, Mike has always been there when I’ve needed his expertise or guidance, and when things need immediate attention, he is quick to reply and help find solutions. Mike and his team are extremely knowledgeable, to the point, and won’t waste your time or money. I highly recommend Mike even if you are through the divorce process and need help with parenting conflicts. I can’t thank Mike and his team enough for all their help and support.

Michael Strauss is an amazing attorney. He has been by my side through the most difficult times in my life. He goes above and beyond for all of his clients. I highly recommend this law firm. They are the best!!! If you want a law firm that is going to be there for you contact Strauss & Hoyt.
