Dealing with family court and child custody specifically can be difficult and challenging. Lindsey Mirabella along with MKFM have made this process easier to understand and have made me feel confident to walk in to court. There are a lot of unknowns that come with the family court system, but her knowledge, experience, and relationships have helped me see my daughter a lot sooner that I originally hoped for. I cannot thank Lindsey and her team enough for helping me through this tough process. I would absolutely recommend MKFM to anyone who needs help in family court. They will help and take care of you!
Stacey McCullough from Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella helped me with a moving violation a couple of years back, and a ticket I received after a minor accident recently. As a truck driver, it is important to keep my record clean. The whole thing took literally 30 seconds, and the matter was dismissed. I highly recommend Stacey to handle all your traffic violations and more. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with.
George Frederick represented me for an employment matter with my former employer. I had never been involved in a dispute in my life and certainly never wanted to.George made the process easy for me. He was very professional, Communicated timely and thoroughly, always explained my options very clearly and ultimately we had a favorable outcome. I highly recommend him.
I am sharing my personal experience with this law firm because I did not feel supported or adequately represented during a very vulnerable situation. I initially discussed prenuptial agreement options with my fiancé and the attorney assigned to represent me. Later in the process, I was informed that my fiancé and his attorney were pursuing a prenup that differed significantly from what had been explained to me. The version presented required that if or when I financially contribute to a marital home the ownership and equity would be placed solely in my fiancé’s name no matter how much I contribute including even remodeling of the home. This was not my understanding from earlier discussions. During this same period, after I moved in with my fiancé, I experienced escalating verbal and controlling behavior, which raised serious concerns for me. As a result, I chose to move out and end the engagement. After the engagement ended, the law firm contacted me and informed me that legal charges originally authorized under my ex-fiancé’s name were reassigned to me and they refunded the money that was already paid by my ex-fiancé. This was concerning because the firm was aware from the beginning that I was not working and could not afford legal representation. My fiancé had stated he would cover the cost so that I could have independent counsel rather than waive my rights. To me it felt like because I was in a vulnerable position of currently being out of work there was a desire that I just go along and then when I am working everything contributed would only financially favor my former fiancé and my contributions will in the long run be all under my former fiancés name. Overall, I did not feel advocated for or protected as a client. This experience left me feeling financially pressured and unsupported, and it raised serious concerns for me about client see advocacy and fairness. I share this review so others can make informed decisions based on my experience.
I worked mostly with Lindsey Mirabella who was wonderful! She had great insight, was responsive and empathetic. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.
Catherine Sheehan is hands down the best. I hired Cat for most decree custody issues, and I wish I had hired her for my entire divorce because MKFM has been fantastic for my very high conflict situation. Cat is knowledgeable, communicative, and she's the person you want to have on your side.
Michael Rutcosky helped negotiate my charge of aggravated speeding down to a petty speeding ticket with a minimal fine. He was very easy to work with and is fast at communicating. He was very patient with all of our questions and was always happy to help. The reason I chose Mike after speaking with 10 other attorneys, was his calm and collected vibe. He was confident in his abilities to get my charge reduced. He did not over promise or under promise, just said it how it was. He also did not try to scare me of what could happen like some others did. He was straight to the point and I liked that. Natalie his paralegal has been great as well and was always quick to respond. We would for sure recommend them!!!
Done what they said they will do, recommended
I highly recommend Joshua Bedwell at MKFM as a trusted family law attorney. My ex-spouse was very litigious. I went through a difficult and lengthy divorce that was filled with legal, financial, and emotional stress. Throughout the process, Joshua was a source of calm, professional advice. He listened carefully to my issues and information, since no one knows my life better than me. Joshua worked hard to try to settle matters that could be settled reasonably outside of the courtroom. When it was necessary to go to trial, he was extremely well prepared and argued persuasively. His pre-trial motion work and other documents were excellent. Joshua always was available to talk about my questions or concerns. He was a great person to have at my side during a difficult time.
Thank you very much.
The firm was very helpful to me. They took the initiative to support me, listened to my case and delivered a positive result.
I was originally directed to to them through the Illinois bar association, after inquiring about an employment issue. Very happy with their services. George Frederick was very attentive. Everyone there worked well as a team to get results. Thanks again MKFM team...
I cannot express how easy Jessica made this unpleasant process as stress-free as possible. We talked through all options, and all my questions were answered. I would highly recommend this firm, especially Jessica if you need a straightforward divorce lawyer.
We had the pleasure of working with Henry Kass and his paralegal Emaley for a related adoption case. Henry walked us through each step of the process and was very honest of what we could expect. After our initial consultation with Henry we knew right away he would be the right attorney to handle our case. Emaley was a pleasure to work with also. She kept us up to date with information and was very responsive. Overall we had a great experience with this firm and because of their hard work we had a great outcome.
I wouldn’t believe the high ratings. The paralegal was competent, but the lawyer couldn’t put a simple spreadsheet together. Bottom line - if you’re going to pay the same rate for a lawyer then choose somebody who went to a top tier law school.
Earlier this year, I hired Henry Kass for a guardianship matter and I couldn't have been more pleased with the engagement. I interviewed five DuPage County family law attorneys before ultimately deciding to work with Henry. Henry was the obvious choice because of his clear competency but more importantly his transparency. During our initial consultation, Henry was the only attorney who took the time to explain the best-case and worst-case scenarios regarding my guardianship pursuit. He did not tell me what I wanted to hear in that first meeting...he told me the truth and shared his plan to work together with me for the best possible outcome. That engendered immediate trust and I hired him on the spot. Throughout the engagement he was professional, INCREDIBLY responsive to all questions and concerns, and persistent in working with me and opposing counsel to move the process forward. When it came to court appearances, Henry's ability to think on his feet and work well with the local judicial system saved me many hours of potential stress and many more hours of potential legal fees. I couldn't recommend Henry's services with more enthusiasm. He's empathetic, highly competent, and professional in the truest sense of the word.
Lindsey Mirabella was extremely helpful. Highly recommend!
Cathrine was a huge help assisting our family. We plan to use her again in the future and would recommend her.
Attorney Megan C. Harris did an excellent job of setting expectations and weaving me through a very chaotic situation. I highly recommend Attorney Harris.
MKFM is the best!
