What our previous clients are saying
“Michael LaCava represented us as we sold our home and purchased a new one. We considered going it alone, but I am so glad we had LaCava Law Firm looking out for our best interest. He saved us money, identified issues/problems in the contracts. His experience was evident and very useful and actually helped us pull the deals through when the other side did not seem to want to make it happen. Michael was responsive, professional and on top of his game! We would definitely use him again and highly recommend his firm”

Thanks, Michael!”

Kathy GuttoschChicago, Illinois
Where do I begin to tell you what a great pleasure it's been to work with Michael on the purchase of our new home? Moving across country was a complicated process to begin with, but when difficulties arose with the transaction, Michael's obvious knowledge, combined with his patience, great listening skills, timely communication, and even his sense of humor, really set our minds at ease. In the end, with his help, everything worked out so well. I'd absolutely recommend his counsel, and the next time we need legal help, he'll be the first attorney we call.”
“Michael LaCava Law Firm assisted us in our home buying process. He was very helpful and went above and beyond. He was very professional and worked hard to make sure we understood everything every step of the way, as this was our first home. Would recommend to anyone who is embarking on a real estate transaction and looking for a reliable and trustworthy attorney.”
Nicole ScolaChicago, Illinois
“My wife and I used Mike for our home buying process. This was our first home buying experience and he made it as painless as possible. He advocated for us the whole way and when issues came up with the other side, Mike took care of it. When it came to the closing, Mike explained everything to us and truly helped us understand what we were singing. 10/10 would use this lawyer again.”

Elisabeth RossChicago, Illinois
“We retained Michael for the purchase of our first home and were so glad we did. My husband and I are both attorneys, but you really want someone who specializes in this area and Michael was well worth it. He was knowledgeable, responsive and helpful during both the contract negotiation and closing. I can't recommend him highly enough.”
Stephanie McAlisterChicago, Illinois
“Michael LaCava was my attorney for the sale of my "for sale by owner" home in St. Charles. Working with him made this real estate transaction run smoothly and efficiently in a situation with multiple offers. Between Michael and his team, I was kept up to date with frequent communication. All documentation was handled professionally, and explained to me as needed along the way. Working with Michael LaCava and his team was a very positive experience, giving me great peace of mind during the sale of my home.”
David DeMarcoChicago, Illinois
“Working with Michael LaCava's office was a great experience. We were in the midst of a very difficult sale, and without the extra help & guidance from his paralegal, Jessica, we are not sure the transaction would have gone through. Jessica provided continual advice & guidance on how to handle the difficult buyers and lack of timely response by their lawyer. She certainly worked overtime to make this deal happen. We are very grateful.”
Ed HauckChicago, Illinois

Even with the dumbest of questions (of which we had many, as this was our first home purchase), they made this stressful process much easier to get through. Highly recommended for anyone about to buy a home!”
Mark ByersChicago, Illinois
“I bought a house and only mildly lost my sanity thanks to Michael LaCava’s Team, legal wizards and part-time therapists.
Buying a home sounded fun until I realized it involved more paperwork than a NASA launch and a glossary of terms I was pretty sure were made up. “Escrow”? “Title insurance”? “Easement rights”? Totally fine, definitely didn’t Google every single one at 1 a.m.
Enter Michael LaCava who calmly and expertly walked us through every step, caught every little landmine buried in the fine print, and made sure we didn’t accidentally sign over our souls along with the property.
He explained everything without sounding like a robot, responded to our 100+ mildly unhinged questions like it was totally normal, and even managed to smile at closing like he hadn’t already survived six deals that week.
Special shout-out to his paralegal Jessica, who truly acted as our emotional support human. I’m not sure how many times she gently reassured us, chased paperwork, or told us “you’re actually doing fine,” but I’m pretty sure she deserves her own plaque… or a spa day.
Long story short: I now own a house, no one cried (publicly), and I would 100% trust Michael and Jessica to guide me through this chaos again, though hopefully not for at least another 30 years.”
Angela CarlstonChicago, Illinois
“Jessica provided excellent service and was prompt, honest, and professional. I am grateful for her guidance and assistance throughout a challenging process. Michael ensured a smooth closing process and made me feel confident that I understood my rights and obligations. Highly recommend!”

Mike NoonanChicago, Illinois
“5.0 all the way! The team at LaCava Law Firm handled my real estate closing and I could not be happier!!! I never had to worry about a thing even when there was a slight title complication.

Thank you to the team at LaCava Law for everything!!! Sincerely, Greg”
