A Super Star among us, that’s who he is: Mr. Michael C. Craven.
This Family Lawyer extraordinaire has a kind spirit. Always civil and plainspoken, he is pretty quick-witted too; and, as a CPA and L.L.M., Mr. Craven is sure to sweep.
With a tough case before me and the wind at my back, I stood alone appearance after appearance. I needed a specialist: a Family Lawyer to address issues including an Order of Protection, Parentage and Child Support – all affecting the victim, my 10-year-old son diagnosed at age 3 with an incurable, intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD). From the moment Mr. Craven began representing me I was often impressed, and never disappointed.
Facing an Ex with deeper pockets, professional acclaim and unwavering support from two legal legends, I did tire against their opposition. As a ranked, Illinois Super Lawyer, Mr. Craven helped to secure my son’s safety, and accordingly, my own faith – faith waned by a justice system that was willing to sacrifice a single-parent and her fragile son with special health care needs.
On that fateful day with nothing more than dinky options and even slimmer chances – HE stood with me. In a clincher, Mr. Craven stepped in as the pitch hitter we needed. As a fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, named a Best Lawyer in America© in Family Law, (2015 to present), Mr. Craven strategized for stronger outcomes, and he debated fluid facts. Then, he dismissed fiction and curveballs: by re-framing victory he saved us from defeat. Amidst the heat Mr. Crave remained astute and professional, and he kept our sights on winning.
Seventh inning stretch behind us, Mr. Craven saved more than a victory. Even the judge was impressed. He out-smarted the infielders and the outliers. With this upset, we all were able to run home. SAFE(ly)! I am so grateful to have had Mr. Craven by my side, as my son’s real advocate. - Posted by : Female Client

You provided clear, realistic and likely outcomes of my case, even when I wasn't ready to hear them. I now realize that my prior attorney was extremely vague about my possible rights which set me up for unrealistic expectations and dissatisfaction. Thank you for your honesty and explanation of the varied potential results and scenarios. - Posted by : Male Client
