I would highly recommend Mike Perillo. He did an excellent job representing me in a case for my mother. He guided me all the way through the process. The outcome was good.

Michael Perillo represented me over 20 years ago and preserved my trial record for a very successful appeal! Since then, I have consulted Michael on a number of unrelated matters and he has always provided me sound advice as a professional... and has never charged me! He has truly become a good friend and we continue to exchange greeting cards and telephone calls. Top Notch!

I highly recommend Mike Perillo to anyone needing legal advice or representation. I have known him for many years personally and professionally, and he is, by far, the most ethical, honest, and knowledgeable lawyer in the community. He takes his time and interacts with your experience followed by sound advice. Excellent lawyer and an exceptional person!

I spoke to Kathy (Cathy) from Mr Saalfeld's office and she was so informative and patient with me. His office came highly recommended. She walked me through all of my options with the information. I gave her an actually explain to me that I do not need a lawyer. This shows so much integrity to me. I would highly recommend calling for a consult. Thank you.

Mike handled an appeal for me and was always responsive, honest and knowledgeable. He was proactive with appeal timelines and thorough in the necessary submissions to Appellate Court.

(Hired him for litigation, which is always stressful) This guy is an excellent attorney. Knows exactly what questions to ask. Extremely honest about the issues of your case, will not sugarcoat. Excellent value for the money and convenient to get to in Waukegan. Very professional and creative. I’m incredibly blessed to have found him.

I hired Michael to extend an order of protection for two years. From what I learned my case was going to be a difficult one to win. Michael got the job done by being presenting a thorough, and well versed argument. I would highly recommend him.

Most biased judge I've ever encountered. Wouldn't even listen to the Father or our lawyer. Sided with mother's hearsay over hard evidence. Will be appealing and filing a complaint with the Illinois Bar Association and the courthouse.

Mike did a fantastic job with getting my case dismissed before it went to trial. Responsive and always answered questions. Would recommend hiring Mike if your are in need of an exceptional attorney. Thank you Mike!

Attorney Mike Perillo is an amazing attorney! I hired him for my case and won. He prepared me for the hearing, he walked me through the process step by step. Didn’t miss a beat, I was immediately put at ease. Knowledgeable, thorough with your case and comfortable in the court room. Strong representation from an outstanding attorney!

Harold is a brilliant and tenacious attorney. You will not find any better In Illinois. He won a 10 year court battle that took us through state and federal courts. As committed as he is to winning your case, he still has the time to listen and be empathetic to your concerns. Cathy his assistant, is extremely meticulous and also cares about you on a personal level. Simply outstanding service and the best advocate for your case.

I brought two cases to Mike, the first on the recommendation of a friend, the second because of his performance in the earlier case. 1. The first case entailed a sensitive claim that I inappropriately touched a student. Before any formal charges were brought, the matter was referred to DCFS for investigation. Mike attended the interview with me. He allowed the investigator to do her job and didn't aggravate the situation or strike an adversarial pose. But he did protect my rights and keep the interview within bounds. This potential criminal case was dropped after this one interview. 2. The second case involved a civil claim of copyright infringement. Mike engaged opposing counsel coolly and brought the case to a satisfactory resolution in just a couple of weeks without the need for litigation. In both cases I felt that Mike did what all lawyers are supposed to do but so few actually do: He set aside the temptation to prolong or complicate the case unnecessarily. My interests were his first and only consideration.
