This award is presented to the Lake County Bar Association member who has provided or supported legal services to low-income clients, and who has made a particularly significant or meaningful contribution to the provision of low-income legal services. Michael will be presented the Access to Justice Award March 9, 2018 at the Lake County Bar Association’s 2018 Access to Justice Awards Luncheon. The award luncheon will be held at the Glen Flora Country Club, 2200 N. Sheridan Rd, Waukegan. Please contact Virginia Elliott, Lake County Bar Association at 847-244-3143 or email her at info(at)lakebar(dot)org for more information.

In addition to providing Family Law legal services to low-income clients in Lake County, Michael is the vice president on the Board of A Safe Place, an organization located in Lake County that is dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence and their families. A Safe Place has comprehensive services for victims of domestic violence including a 24 hour emergency crisis line, emergency shelter, housing, intervention, education, and counseling.

Michael is a frequent guest speaker at various Family Law workshops and conferences and he recently presented at an event sponsored by The Lilac Tree on the New Illinois Child Support and Parenting Laws.

He testified in February before the committee of the Illinois House of Representatives on House Bill 4113 that deals with the best interest of the child concerning parenting time with each parent.
