Firm: The Law Office of Michelle A. Lawless LLC
180 N. LaSalle St. Suite 3700 , Chicago , Illinois 60601
Practice Areas: General Practice, Family
With finely-honed skills in both negotiation and litigation, Michelle has spent her entire career assisting high-net-worth individuals and their spouses protect and preserve their assets during divorce. She has in-depth training and experience in the analysis of executive compensation packages, valuation of closely-held businesses, and other complex, hard-to-value assets and income streams.. As co-author of the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education Family Law Flash Points, Michelle is knowledgeable about the cutting edge trends in family law. She uses this insight and research to negotiate favorable outcomes for her clients and help them make the best decisions based on the current developments in the law.. Michelle works with her clients to clarify and articulate their goals by asking how they would like to see their lives after the conclusion of their family law matter. She knows that the answers will vary widely, as the goals of a business owner nearing retirement will be vastly different from those of a young mother of three children. She also explains the three primary methods of resolving disputes to the client which include mediation, the collaborative model, and traditional litigation, and works with the client to determine which is the most appropriate avenue for their individual case.. While out-of-court-settlement is the primary goal, Michelle’s talent as a litigator makes her a very effective advocate for her clients in court, if such route is necessary. She has successfully prosecuted and defended cases at the trial and appellate levels.. A graduate of the American Bar Association’s Advanced Trial Advocacy Institute focusing exclusively on business valuations, Michelle has been recognized in Best Lawyers of America (2015), an Illinois Super Lawyer (2013-2015), an Illinois Rising Star Attorney (2012), and by the Leading Lawyers Network (2012-2015). She is also a past recipient of the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin’s “40 Under 40” award. She is a certified Divorce Financial Analyst and also holds certifications in Collaborative Law and mediation.. Michelle is a frequent author and lecturer on family law subjects and currently co-authors the IICLE Family Law Flash Points with Donald C. Schiller. She served as liaison to the committee responsible for reviewing and redrafting the Cook County local court rules which govern domestic relations cases and is a Past-Chair of the Chicago Bar Association Domestic Relations Committee.

I love baseball, boxers and bankruptcy. And not necessarily in that order. I fell into the practice of bankruptcy law years and years ago, and it has been a perfect match for me. I love getting rid of debts, and helping folks get back on track with their financial lives. It gives me great pleasure to wipe out credit card debts and even the IRS debts. I fell into the perfect job for me.. After years and years of Cub fan futilism, I made the switch to the White Sox. In time for the 2005 World Series, so that was great. Now i feel the Cubs calling me back, and am feeling White Sox futilism.....it may be too late for me to switch back. We will see. But I love baseball and am a huge fan. Period.. Boxers too. I love my Boxer male, but he passed away about two years ago. I want him back. That's futile too. I miss taking him to work with me. I think i am almost ready for another. Hopefully soon.
