They took care of my case in a timely manner and everyone is very qualified and polite.

Michael Doman was extremely helpful in a guardenahio case I was involved with. His attention to detail and time spent working with all parties going above and beyond. Highly recommend!

I am truly thankful to Michael Doman and Leo Sokolov for their professionalism, assistance, dedication, support, hard work and effort. I had a wonderful experience with your office and your staff during the most difficult time in my life, going thru the divorce after 21 years of marriage. I highly recommend Michael Doman and Leo Sokolov to anyone who is looking for an experienced divorce attorney.

Before I hired Mike Doman and Leo Sokolov, my divorce was looking messy. This in part being that I had a 19.5-year marriage, had never contemplated divorce and previously hired incompetent council lasting 18 months. I wasted a lot of money learning. My own naive self and unfamiliarity with the process combined with my wife hiring a Master of Rhetorical Sewage creation put me in the position of needing a Superhero fast or I would likely soon die from exhaustion. Mike Doman is an impeccable Divorce Lawyer and his firm is outstanding. Upon hiring Doman Law to represent me, I was stunned at how quickly and effectively they learned, organized and retained all of the details in my case during our subsequent discussions. His partner, Leo Sokolov, I will affectionately label as someone who performs the task's similar to an "in-flight data recorder"... capturing every detail while leaving nothing to guesswork as my case progressed. Leo is a true research master, a skilled lawyer and valuable asset with a remarkable disposition. Mike Doman went to work and removed the emotion. He immediately identified my case components breaking it down into three parts. He explained to me what the law says and together we relentlessly worked on a strategy to accomplish the goal of judgement in less than 60 days. In addition, Mike Doman and Leo Sokolov shut down and all but stopped the opposing council’s rhetoric and untruthful nonsense... quickly sending a "New Sheriff in Town" message to the other side and affirming that I was not going to participate in their psychological mind games and useless, untruthful, inflammatory words. This is KEY in divorce proceedings... it lowers your fees. Mike Doman and Leo Sokolov brought clarity, truth and conviction to all of the front-line issues. We executed perfectly and to the best of our abilities with the greatest good for all. That's how it's supposed to work. That said, divorce is painful...the last thing you want is someone who embellishes your own pain trapping you in your own anxiety which will likely drive you unknowingly further away from making the right choices for you and your family. You can go get a divorce lawyer or hire a professional and get it done efficiently and respectfully. Choose wisely... choose Doman Law for their competency and professionalism. Thanks Mike and Leo.

What makes a difference in attorney-client relationships? Communication is definitely number one (at least in my opinion). Michael Doman office provides it at an amazing level! How many times you left messages with the attorney with no reply, calling back again and again? Not with Michael Doman! Immediate connection, rapid reply, and answers to all your questions! That what pleased me and satisfied. And of course professionalism of Michael Doman himself and his office colleagues is what set them apart. Attention to every detail, researching and investigating every aspect of the case, making clear all pros and contra of every step of the process, making appearances in court and fighting for your cause. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LAW OFFICE OF MICHAEL DOMAN.

Found it extremely difficult to find a honest, reputable attorney while going through my divorce. I’m a single mom with a 2 yr old child who separated as a result of domestic abuse. I had previously hired attorneys with cheaper retainer fees due to lack of funds and their service was terrible and I essentially wasted money and got very little in return. Going forward knowing what I know now I would recommend to anyone in a similar position to invest in a good attorney like Michael from the start to get the best possible result for you. Michael was recommended through a friend and came in at the end of my divorce but worked extremely hard to get a good result for my son and I considering the time frame involved. He was respectful at all times which was important to me personally after going through an abusive marriage and I felt protected in court. Michael is a honorable, hardworking attorney who conducts himself in a professional manner at all times.

Personally not a bad guy. ...But I needed an attorney. He fell asleep in a deposition. He was unable handle the opposing counsel (who was getting paid half of his rate!) He was absent not only in spirit but physically; leaving to handle other cases while we were in still in session. For his hourly rate you can definitely get more for your buck. Keep shopping.

I enlisted Mr. Doman's services due to a pending divorce. I was in a desperate situation; my spouse held all of our assets. It was a messy situation, involving millions of dollars in the sale of my spouses business; me being a homemaker; two very young children; and a complex amount of financial material to analyze. During my divorce, I found Mr. Doman to be very passionate about his job as my attorney. He came highly recommended by my neighbor who actually was an opposing attorney in another case. She stated, "Mike is a no-nonsense, aggressive attorney"; truer words could not be spoken. Initially, my spouse hired her attorney and shortly after starting our divorce proceedings, she discovered that Mr. Doman was not going to allow me as his client to be dealt a less than fair deal. A few weeks later, my spouse changed lawyers for some "big name" firm in Chicago. Mr. Doman's commitment was unwavering and only became more aggressive in our stance. In the end, the "big name" did not hold a candle to Mr. Doman's thoroughness, aggressiveness, and commitment on my behalf as his client. I would highly recommend Mr. Doman to anyone who needs a serious fighter on their side.

I retained Michael Doman when my ex husband started to file trivial motions nearly a decade after our divorce. I wanted it over with quickly and for good. I could not have wished for a better attorney than Michael. At our first meeting, his questions were thorough, detailed, and to the point. I came away confident he was someone who knew the law and who knew how to get results quickly. Throughout the process, Michael was attentive, proactive, and laser-focused on implementing our strategy. He got the result I wanted, and he got it quickly. Don’t go to Michael if you are after a shoulder to cry on. But if you want a smart, very experienced, and non-nonsense lawyer who gets results, he is a perfect choice . I recommend him without hesitation.

Divorce is difficult to go through; however, when you deal with an experienced team such as Michael Doman and his team the process is easier and the results more positive and fair. They were flexible and attended all scheduled meetings allowing for quicker results. Based on their negotiation skills I was able to avoid litigation, in turn, resulting lower legal costs. Mike and his team are nothing short of amazing. I used Mike for my divorce and all supporting agreements and post modifications, and during my entire divorce. Mike and his team are very prompt, knowledgeable and able to explain things in terms that a none legal guru can understand. I will continue to use Mike for all my future family law needs. I could not be happier with the service he provided, and the outcome of my case. Thank you, Mike and his team,

I hired Michael off a mutual friend referral of someone who hadn’t used him as a divorce lawyer but weee friends. He started out to seem to have my best interest but after a couple of months I felt had his own money making agenda. My legal fees were beyond what they should’ve been and in the end I was still married and zero was done for me in my case and no protection. He was also unethical several times and apparently has a reputation for going crazy w fees according to other divorce lawyers and I asked many many after my experience. He wasn’t willing to negotiate and knew my financial hardship being s single mother. Living in a small community I would think he would’ve done right in the end but nope he didn’t. Good luck as I am very involved on social media and would never ever recommend this man to represent anyone. He has a not good reputation with other divorce attorneys as well. Wish I would’ve known and researched.

Divorce is never easy and the process often does not make sense. What helps is having a lawyer who understands the law, is always prepared and gives you an honest opinion directing your actions based on what the law allows. Michael is such an attorney. My case was lengthy and concluded with a trial that took several months before the ruling was issued. Michael is a pro, it was obvious throughout the trial that is preparation, understanding of the law and confidence would pay dividends. Michael also does not spend time and bill you for actions he knows the court will not accept or rule upon favorably, its all about what the law allows. Micheal may not be the type of attorney who will hand you a Kleenex and put his arm around you, but that's what your friends are for. Michael focuses his energy on achieving a favorable outcome for his clients.
