Heather did an excellent job representing me in my divorce. From start to finish she was extremely meticulous while explaining the process and answering all of my questions- there were no surprises. In addition to being knowledgeable and professional, she's incredibly personable and made me comfor table throughout the entire process. I would definitely use Heather again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of similar representation.

Heather represented me with my declaration of invalidity of marriage.  I can not say enough good things about Heather and her team.  She made a devastating experience bearable- always having my best interests top of mind. From start to finish she was extremely meticulous while explaining the process and answering all of my questions- there were no surprises. Declarations of invalidities are very uncommon in Illinois but Heather handled my situation with knowledge and the grace I needed during such a difficult time.  She's incredibly personable and communicative and made me comfortable throughout the entire process. My situation was far from amicable and Heather did an incredible job ensuring that I was protected every step of the way.

Heather was referred to me through a mutual friend. I needed to speak with Heather as a second opinion, as I already had an attorney but I had a gut feeling something was going in a different path with my case. Not only did Heather speak with me in a timely manner, but she was extremely honest, respe ctful and explained everything to me in a much more understandable way for me to choose the right path that never was offered to me but should have been. When speaking with Heather, she gave me a sense of relief, happiness and freedom through my divorce case. In the short amount of time I spoke with her, she changed my new journey in life. Without her recommendations, I would not be able to feel more at ease, the confidence in standing up for what is right and now feeling like I have a voice and can take care of myself and my child. All of the guidance from her has allowed me to see what is right and the best interests for the child. Thank you isn't enough for what she did for me; she helped me believe in myself and saw my worth that was taken from me during my difficult marriage. I highly recommend and trust her! I will never forget her guidance and appreciate the time she took to talk with me and check in during the finalization process.

Katy and her team were exceptionally responsive and consultative through a challenging divorce and subsequent co-parenting issues. Her counsel was always balanced and helped me to weigh up all the pros and cons before taking action but when we needed to take action, she was swift and organized in chasing opposing counsel.

Navigating a divorce is never easy, but working with Katy Mickelson and her team made all the difference. From our very first meeting (first email to her actually and her quick response), it was clear that this wasn’t just about legal proceedings—it was about understanding, empathy, and finding a pat h forward with dignity. Katy and her team brought a deeply human approach to every step of the process which is what I valued the most. They listened without judgment, offered clear and thoughtful guidance, and always made me feel like more than just a case file. Their ability to balance professionalism with genuine compassion was remarkable. Throughout the process Katy and team were committed to helping me make informed decisions that aligned with my values and long-term well being. They were patient, responsive, and incredibly skilled at diffusing tension while advocating firmly for my interests. I simply can't thank Katy and her team enough, I came through this experience feeling supported, respected, and empowered. I can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone seeking not just a lawyer, but a true ally during one of life’s most challenging transitions.

Kathryn and her team, absolutely hands down saved my life. I had hired an attorney who left my kids and I without health insurance along with frozen college funds and woman moved into our summer home the list goes on and on while owning a multimillion dollar business, that I helped him start. Kat y and her team went out of their way, drove the extra mile (literally) over 3 hours to help our family. My son is now in law school because of Matt (Katy’s associate). He is a rock star. I wish I would have hired them when I first filed. Don’t make the same mistake I did! Hire Katheryn FIRST! I should write a book. You can’t make this stuff up. Kathryn Michaelson you are one in a million!

Kathryn and her team were absolutely essentially in helping me navigate my divorce. She is practical and very knowledgeable. She truly made what could be a brutal process borderline enjoyable. I cannot recommend her enough.

Laura · family law · May 2026

Katy and her team are absolutely amazing! They turned a stressful and emotional process into a smooth journey. Their responses were prompt, guiding me through every step of my divorce with clarity. They ensured I grasped everything fully and showed great sensitivity towards my feelings, while always prioritizing what was best for me and my children. Katy's thoroughness, intelligence, and calm demeanor undoubtedly contributed to the swift finalization of my divorce within just 4 months. I've already recommended her to my friends, and for any future family law needs, Katy is my only choice without hesitation. I'm incredibly grateful to have Katy on my side. Katy, you're the best!

I cannot recommend John enough! Going through a divorce was an incredibly difficult time for me, but from the initial consultation, John was straightforward, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the entire process, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt co mfortable with the process. John is highly knowledgeable in family law and was able to navigate my case with ease. He provided sound advice regarding asset division, and spousal support, and I always felt well-informed. Thanks to his expertise, I felt supported throughout the entire process and was able to achieve a fair outcome.

John is an excellent attorney. He is knowledgable, professional and very experienced. He very skillfully helped me to navigate a very challenging and protracted (through no fault of his or mine) divorce process. He was responsive, gave practical advice and did a fantastic job of explaining things in a succinct manner. He is an excellent negotiator and his advice and advocacy on my behalf resulted in a the negotiation of a very favorable settlement. I highly recommend John as a family law attorney and I will certainly retain his services in future should I have need of an attorney. 5 stars.
