Experience

When faced with litigation, a successful strategy depends on your opponent’s knowledge that your lawyers can and will take a case to verdict or judgment. Michaels & May attorneys bring diverse backgrounds to the firm, but we also have a common denominator: a dedication to excellence in the practice of law, coupled with the experience and training brought from our prior practices at some of Chicago’s largest law firms. We focus our litigation activities on dispositive motions and trial preparation: clients are not asked to pay for “make-work” or “wheel-spinning” that does not advance the case. Our goal-oriented strategy and trial experience pose a highly credible risk to our opposition that a case will be taken to verdict or judgment. This, in turn, often results in highly favorable settlements for our clients, making trial unnecessary.
