Why clients work with Michael
Michael holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting with a minor in Computer Information Systems. In matters that turn on financial records, damages calculations and contractual obligations, that background is not a footnote — it is the work.
This is a focused practice. The person who evaluates your claim, negotiates it and takes it to court is the same person you called — not a case manager passing your file along.
Most matters settle. They settle on better terms when the other side can see the file was built to be tried. Preparation happens up front, not when a trial date appears.
What is happening, what the options are, and the reasoning behind each strategic decision — explained in plain language, in English, Russian or Ukrainian.
Our Team
A focused practice: one attorney, one experienced paralegal, and your file on both of their desks.

How a matter moves forward
You explain what happened. We tell you honestly whether you have a matter worth pursuing, what it would involve, and what it would cost.
Records, evidence, medical documentation, financial statements, contracts. The facts are gathered and the claim is valued before anyone talks about a number.
Demands, responses and negotiation with insurance carriers, opposing counsel or the other party — from a position supported by the file, not by pressure.
If the offer does not reflect what the matter is worth, the lawsuit is filed and pursued. In Boone, Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will Counties.
Language
Olga A. Vaysman is fluent in English, Russian and Ukrainian, and provides language assistance and interpretation in court proceedings, arbitration hearings and immigration matters throughout the Chicagoland area. You can describe what happened in the language you actually think in — and be certain nothing was lost in the retelling.
