Dear Readers,
It is my pleasure to share my experience with Michael Hudzik as my lawyer. I started working with Michael Hudzik at the end of August 2022, after reading his reviews on Avvo. Michael Hudzik offered honest guidance in making the process as speedy and uncumbersome as possible. I wanted the divorce to be as amicable as possible. Michael made the divorce paperwork easy to read and understandable as possible. Also, impressive was his communication skills. I was never left wondering if he received a text message or an email. As we partnered together to get the job done, he continued to guide and advise me as necessary. Within approximately 6 weeks, my husband and me were divorced.

Michael Hudzik is the best lawyer I have ever hired. I was on a verge of losing until I fired my lawyer and hired Michael instead. He swooped in at the last minute and revived our case. He is sharp, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly he put in the work to make sure we presented the absolute strongest arguments possible. I would recommend Michael Hudzik to anyone, he is an exceptional attorney.

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Michael was nothing was "sugar coated". He was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going through a child custody case from start to finish, Michael kept me informed of each step and what the options and risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep me happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Michael and I had great conversations and he was very honest about what I could expect as far as outcomes based on the "law". Which was extremely helpful during the process.
Michael made himself available to answer any texts, emails, or calls when I had questions and even in times of crisis. I was very grateful for the attention that he gave to the case.
One last thing that I was grateful for was how empathetic and compassionate Michael was during this whole process. This was something that was very difficult to go through and he was very understanding which is something you don't often get from an attorney.

Working with Michael Hudzik was great. He assured me along the way, made me feel comfortable and confident in the decisions that I had to make throughout the divorce process. Was always very transparent and would always be conscious of my financial situation and would offer options that might have saved me money towards the end of the process. Very responsive to my questions and emails. Would even respond to text messages that I would send for real quick questions. Was very happy with the work and results that I received from Michael Hudzik. Would recommend him to anyone that was in need of a family law attorney.

Mike has been by my side since the beginning of my new legal counsel with STG Law firm. Julie Gumina was my gunner at first and then Mike stepped in to assist. Both were very helpful in protecting me and my boys throughout the custody battle with the mother of my three boys. They keep well in touch thur email/text/vm. They will always have a life long relationship with me to protect me and my family. Never once did I question their utmost professionalism and integrity when making decisions in and outside of the courtroom. Thx Mike and Julie for all you hard work and dedication when working to help and protect my family. The A-Team!!!!

I hired Michael to help me with my very conflicated and stressful divorce. I was stay at home wife who took care of the kids, working only part time while my husband was the one with the income and assets. When the decision to divorce came up I was lost and was worried about the future of my children and I. I am very grateful that I have found Michael to help me. From the first consultation, I felt very comfortable and at ease with talking to him about my situation. He welcomed all my questions and assured me that there was no need to fear about the outcome of this divorce. Due to the covid pandemic and my husband being uncooperative, it was understandable that there was some delays in getting the process running and it took about 2 years until we were finally able to finish the case. *During that time, he always informed me about the status or any updates. *He would email me back asap or call me anytime (even after work hours or weekend) whenever I had a question or was in crisis mode about this divorce. He was always mindful of unnecessary costs and informed me first or gave me other options. He was prepared to be the nice lawyer that would help me and my husband achieve what's fair for everyone and also be the lawyer that fights for me when the other party was not being nice. I never felt intimidated and he was so easy and comfortable talking to, he knows when its serious time and when its perfectly okay to be funny. The end result: he managed to get me everything I had asked for and was entitled to.

Wrote a detailed, specific and great judgement for the allocation of custody rights, full custodial parenting time and helped me be able to move with my daughter out of state. As a father, I was afraid this would take years and be near impossible but the process was quick and much less painful than anticipated. Communication was quick and right to the point, allowing me to save costs. He utilized the associates as much as possible as well, again minimizing costs. Hopefully I will not need his services again, but I will gladly share his information for anyone who might need assistance in custodial issues.

It's rare to find a lawyer who comprises all the necessary qualities to make one of the best divorce lawyers. First of all, Attorney Michael Hudzik has a sound knowledge of divorce law. Secondly, he is aware of the emotional nature of the divorce process and has the proper sensitivity needed while working with clients; he really listens to the client's needs. Thirdly, he is always prompt in returning phone calls and emails. Lastly, he is aware of the client's anxiety towards attorney fees and therefore tries to work on issues in the most cost effective manner possible. My divorce and post divorce matters were very long and complex, and it led me to have to hire and work with many different lawyers, many of whom were recommended by friends and family. Most of my previous attorneys had one or two of the above qualities, but I found none of them to have all the qualities, except for Attorney Michael Hudzik. He was an excellent lawyer, exactly as I read in his Avvo reviews online. I will always be grateful to Attorney Hudzik for all the work and time he has put in my case to bring peace for me and my children. I highly recommend Attorney Michael Hudzik.

For years I struggled with an inability to effectively shield my children from some toxic behavior patterns of the woman I fell in love with. I sought help from church, marriage counselors and even law enforcement. I eventually had to accept the fact that nobody can facilitate change in another person’s life if they don’t believe they need to change. I met with several attorneys while contemplating divorce and was devastated to hear them say it was unlikely for children to end up with their fathers. The last attorney I met with was Michael Hudzik. Mike’s demeanor and view of my objectives was different from the start. In a word the main thing he offered was Hope! As a result of his integrity and outstanding problem resolution skills, I was divorced in a short period of time and am living proof that children can end up with their father. Mike’s ability to find out of the box solutions to difficult situations enabled my kids and I to continue living in the house they grew up in making this disruptive season of life far less difficult than it could have been. Throughout each step of this journey, Mike kept the cost of his services at the forefront of our decision making. My kids and I are eternally grateful we crossed paths and simply couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome.

Mr Hudzik promptly addressed our case. Being out of state and in a very difficult, short notice situation, he not only quickly accepted and learned the details of a complex case, he worked with the opposing attorney to bring the issue to an amicable settlement to the benefit of both parties. Mr Hudzik thoroughly explained all aspects of the case and procedures to ensure we understand the sequence of events in the divorce case. Best of all was his compassionate understanding of a difficult situation and his willingness to work with the opposing council to resolve difficulties and come to settlement completely to our satisfaction. I strongly recommend him for his knowledge, dedication and commitment to our case.

Michael R. Hudzik - A competent attorney with integrity, value, and respect. Finding a right lawyer can be a gamble and could turn into a disaster in terms of lost time, excessive money spent in fees, and increased level of stress. Therefore, I decided to take advantage of free initial consultation offered by many counsel before retaining one and determine who would best meet/exceed the following key criteria? (1) Competency, level of commitment to represent the client fairly and cost effectively by keeping process simple and moving forward. (2) Accessibility, easy to communicate with and responsiveness. (3) Flexibility to guide and utilize client for essential data collection and compilation to minimize translation errors/churn where possible. (4) Ability to work with opposing counsel in a collaborative manner to reach a fair agreement in timely manner. (5) Keep the process moving effectively.
Micheal far exceeded all above and many more criteria. He was pleasant, respectful, focused, and clear in explaining the process in a simple manner. His goal and priority was to build his reputation by supporting the client in a most effective way. He is well respected among his peers and highly successful at negotiating (with the opposing counsel) the best interest of the client with integrity, fairness and respect. Michael is an extremely competent, honest, and diligent lawyer, who represents his client in a most cost effective way, without compromising quality and effectiveness of his service. This was evident by his willingness to provide multiple free consultations to address all initial and followup questions before retaining him. His level of commitment, his accessibility, and responsiveness was the best throughout the entire process. His method of charging and billing was honest and reasonable. Quality of his documents and updates were high and completed in a timely manner.
In summary, Michael is an extremely competent, capable, and honest lawyer with highest level of integrity and commitment to his clients. With his diligence, competence, and integrity, you always be in good hands with him on your side.

Michael Hudzik had previously handled the divorce of a close contact (incredibly well: it was a difficult sticky case involving interstate custody, but thanks to Mike's wise and frank advice, the outcome was entirely what my friend had hoped for), so with that referral, when I needed an attorney to handle a custody update between me and my ex, I turned to him.
Mike was wonderfully responsive and available to answer all my questions, and excellent at explaining pros and cons of different approaches, probabilities, and options. He really understands the emotions AND the practicalities involved, and I appreciate that while he always looked out for my interests first and foremost, he was not a black-and-white thinker. He gets his results by really paying attention and talking through angles and decisions in their full context at your pace.
I also got exactly the resolution I was hoping for, and when it was all said and done, my ex even thought the conclusion was fair and our cordial relationship was intact, which is really saying something! I cannot recommend Mike Hudzik highly enough.

Tony was my lawyer for about two years during a difficult divorce that consisted of child support, GAL, multiple hearings, and a custody trial. He’s an extremely nice and a pleasant person to work with, and never looks down upon you. He’s very straight forward and does not waste time on nonsense to drain money out of you. He always had a plan, was always prepared, and answered any questions I had, in an easy understood manner. He has good analytical skills and was able to quickly use them during the trial, by challenging, proving wrong, or asking difficult questions. I was truly impressed at times, on how he challenged the opposite side. Always had a smile on his face.

Tony was easy to work with and has a great demeanor. Divorce sucks, as anyone who has gone through it knows. Tony has a good sense of humor and was able keep things as light as possible, but was also able to change gears when necessary to get me to "wake up" and face the tough decisions that were ultimately necessary to make. I doubt anyone would tell you they "won" in a divorce, but I can confidently say that Tony played hardball when necessary to get optimal results from the divorce. Most of all, he was patient and listened to my stories and sorted out what was really important for the purposes of the divorce. I give Tony 10 stars

I worked with Michael as went through my divorce and again when I needed to modify my child custody agreement 2 years later. Michael was prompt, professional and a calming influence in my experience working with him. I couldn't be happier with Michael's representation because divorce and custody are very stressful, emotional situations and Michael helped every step of the way. I had a laundry list of questions and concerns in both situations and Michael would walk through every one with me and make sure I understood the answer and was comfortable throughout the process. On top of that I could feel that I was getting the best representation and that Michael would honestly evaluate every situation and give me the best legal advice for me to make an informed decision. I read the reviews on this site and made multiple calls to lawyers and from the first conversation with Michael, I knew that he would be the best representation for me.

I really can’t say enough about Tony. I can start off by saying, he fought so hard for me & my kids, I feel like I’m in debt to him for the rest of my life. He’s an amazing person first off, and he’s just as great as an attorney. In a time where Fathers are mostly relegated to being weekend parents, Tony embraced my fight to have split custody & to possibly being the custodial parent. At no time did I feel as though Tony was not on my side, or leading me the right way. He was a blessing to me and my family. He guided the whole case with knowledge, and class. Now- I am custodial parent with the majority of the time with my kids 80/20 split, because he guided me & he was patient, and he cared for my family. If you are going through a divorce situation, it’s never easy. Having Tony guide, me through this, was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I never felt that my case wasn't being taken of, or left with concerns over what was happening. The open communication on status and next steps was very helpful to me as I was also handling a busy work load at the time. I was able to make changes easily via email and even reschedule my court date without any issues. Thank you very much for your help in my divorce. My experience with Mike, Janet and the STG Law firm was a positive one!

Mr. Hudzik is a great attorney. He took the time to explain my case. He's ethical, will always take the high road, and will consider his client's best interests. On several occasions, I asked him to negotiate on my behalf and he did a great job. He kept the case moving and was very professional with my ex-spouse's attorney, although, the ex-spouse's attorney was not very professional. I highly recommend him.

I worked with Mr. Hudzik during my divorce. Due to my complex situation, the possibility of it getting done in a timely manner almost seemed impossible. He worked diligently to create an agreement that not only was in the best interest for my children, but for our financial situation. Our agreement and divorce was complete in less than a year yet thorough as if it took longer. Mr. Hudzik is professional and fair yet still empathetic which I think hard to find in this field. I appreciate all the work he has done for my family and me, and would absolutely recommend him.

I hired Mr. Hudzik when I was going through a divorce. I had thought myself capable of dealing with all of the paperwork myself but my loved ones recommended that I get a lawyer and I am so glad I did. Mr. Hudzik was compassionate, accessible, and thorough. He took all the bureaucratic stress out of my divorce which allowed me to deal with other things. He sat with me and we discussed what my aims were for the divorce and then he did everything needed to get the results I wanted. He was so invaluable as a lawyer who actually seemed to care about me as his client.

I wish I lived in a nearby area so I could have hired Michael to represent me...
Unfortunately I have an ongoing family case involving my very young son. Fortunately after feeling quite lost and overwhelmed with the legal system, while having no clue as to where to turn to find help, I was able to find Michael's help to be More than "just help". His approach was empathetic, strong and very knowledgeable throughout our consultations.
Michael consulted me about my current situation and here's what he did:
* Clearly communicated his services and what he may be able to do to assist.
* Made me feel more in control and he helped to calm my fears by providing complex legal information in a way that was easy to comprehend (I was SO worried about everything to come before chatting to him!!!)
* Instructive and gave me all possible avenues I could take that he felt applied to my case.
* Told me upfront the estimated ranges of what to realistically expect to spend monetarily depending on the actions I wanted to take (he was very accurate).
* Very tactful and considerate with how he presented information, but did not sugar coat anything for my benefit.
* I could feel that he cared and wanted to help as much as he could.
* Ensured I was thinking rationally and keeping a clear picture of both the short and long term pros and cons to each decision.
* Was extremely respectful of my decisions.
* He wanted me to be as prepared and confident as possible moving forward.
* I feel most importantly Michael wanted me to really consider all avenues, make a choice based on what I wanted and felt was right, then communicate that desire to achieve the best results.
Overall I fully believe in Michael’s abilities and trust my family and my well-being in his capable hands. I would recommend him to anyone in the area.

I sought Mike out to assist me with a challenging harassment case that has been ongoing for six months. From the start, Mike exuded competence, class, and discipline. He kept me informed, patiently explained the ins and outs of the legal proceedings, offered measured advice, and, when necessary, calmed my concerns.
All throughout this difficult process, Mike conveyed a degree of civility and respect to everyone involved, including the individual I was in dispute with. No matter how inappropriately the other side behaved, Mike maintained his professional discipline and stayed focused on the case.
At court, Mike delivered results. He implemented the legal strategy he had designed while at the same time adroitly adjusting as the situation unfolded throughout the six-hour hearing. In the end, Mike succeeded. Just as importantly, he did so in a high-minded manner that I, as the client, can feel proud of.

In December of 2014, I hired Mr. Hudzik to represent me in my divorce. I selected Mr. Hudzik after completing a series of interviews I conducted among several firms. When I interview Mr. Hudzik, he presented himself as a very understanding, knowledgeable, professional, and astute attorney. He listened very closely to my situation and wanted to understand my goals. Michael expressed his desire to help find an amicable solution to this divorce and asked me to take the “high road”. I felt very comfortable with Michael and his approach.
Michael understood that I did not want to be confrontational unless we were given no choice. He set the tone from the beginning and steadfastly maintained that tone during the entire processes. Michael also did a fantastic job in helping me see through my emotions and find the best course of action to the quickest resolution for each issue.
Michael’s experience and knowledge was instrumental in taking a very simple case and keeping it from becoming a legal nightmare.
Another important point which concerns the firm of STG, Mr. Hudzik informed me he would be taking vacation during my case. While Mr. Hudzik was not available, Mr. Vechiola assisted me with my case. Three times Mr. Vechiola stepped in and did a great job. This speaks very highly of the firm, the staff, and their team approach.
I just want to express my gratitude and thanks for the outstanding representation I received from Mr. Hudzik and STG. Many people complain about legal fees and their attorneys, this is not my case. I will keep Michael’s card with me and will call upon him if I need further representation. I will vigorously endorse Mr. Hudzik and STG if I am asked for a referral.

I was going through a divorce and a dcfs case. It was the hardest thing I've had to encounter in my life. I was referred to Michael's law firm by a friend. Since the first time we spoke on the phone he made me feel like no matter what we will try to win this case or fight trying. Michael never promised anything he knew he couldn't be 100% sure about, he always kept to the facts and was very honest with me about what we might be up against. Even though either of us knew how things would end, Michael never gave up or lost hope in our case. When things weren't looking good on my end, he fought even harder. I cant thank him enough for the hard work he put into my case. Even though we were dragged around by the other party we stuck it out and we won our case, Michael knows what he is doing.
If you are in the Dupage area seek him out, Michael is dedicated to his job and will do what he can for what is right. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Anthony helped my family with our daughter's adoption this past year and I can't say enough about how great he was during the process. The adoption process is a little overwhelming (to me at least) and there is a lot of waiting and Anthony kept in touch with us during every step of the way letting us know what was happening. He answered phone calls and emails in a prompt manner to any questions we had (there were a lot). Just in general he was very understanding and caring during this personal family matter and for that I am very grateful. Truly a professional- I would recommend him to anyone.

I have to honestly say the Mike's unending care and understanding of the the many complexities that contribute to family and personal issues proved to be very insightful and important in making a big difference in the future of my family. Not only is Mike passionate about what he does but he also embraces the real meaning of right and wrong. In ways that only he can do, Mike makes his points with truth and facts as his foundation without doubt or hesitance. Even though many times it was difficult to get through our family issue, I always felt that Mike is the best person to be representing us. He is an amazing lawyer who understands people and the law and my family and I am very grateful to him for making such a monumental difference in all of our lives.

Mr Hudzik promptly addressed our case. Being out of state and in a very difficult, short notice situation, he not only quickly accepted and learned the details of a complex case, he worked with the opposing attorney to bring the issue to an amicable settlement to the benefit of both parties. Mr Hudzik thoroughly explained all aspects of the case and procedures to ensure we understand the sequence of events in the divorce case. Best of all was his compassionate understanding of a difficult situation and his willingness to work with the opposing council to resolve difficulties and come to settlement completely to our satisfaction. I strongly recommend him for his knowledge, dedication and commitment to our case.
