The firm was launched by Michael Mazek in 2009 as a private boutique practice focused on providing aggressive legal representation at affordable rates. Mazek's path to the legal profession began in childhood, when he managed rental properties for his Polish-immigrant parents as a teenager, an experience that gave him direct exposure to the Chicago landlord-tenant marketplace and shaped his focus on representation for non-native English speakers and immigrants. After attending Chicago public schools, he earned a B.A. in English-Writing with a minor in Linguistics from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he received the Edward Moskal Journalism Scholarship, and went on to earn his J.D. from The John Marshall Law School. At John Marshall he served on The Journal of Computer and Information Law and contributed to the Fair Housing Legal Clinic, where he acted as co-counsel for the successful appeal in Godinez v. Lackey-Sullivan, a decision that clarified whether Section 8 housing vouchers qualify as sources of income under the City of Chicago Fair Housing Ordinance. The practice is located in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago and handles cases across Chicago, the suburbs, and the collar counties.

The office sits along North Lincoln Avenue in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, with Chicago Fire Department Engine Company 112 roughly a tenth of a mile away, Prairieland Montessori and Filbert Park each about 0.2 miles from the door, and the Birth Center of Chicago nearby on the same corridor.

Office hours run Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the firm can be reached at (773) 800-0141 or [email protected]. Mazek's combination of courtroom-tested housing advocacy and his breadth across real estate, estate planning, and tax appeal work has made him a steady presence for property owners and families working through transactional and litigation matters across the Chicago region.
