Who We Are

Totally committed to our clients in Chicago and Northwest Indiana

Our firm was established to serve clients throughout the Chicago area and Northwest Indiana. We believe that this bi-state perspective and practice enable us to serve our clients in both Illinois and Indiana better than if we confined our practice to only one state.

Licensed as an attorney in Illinois for more than 35 years and in Indiana for more than 25 years, Michael T. Sawyier, the founder of the firm, has long had the vision of creating a bi-state firm that brings top-quality, reasonably priced professional legal services to its clients. Thus, associate attorneys Charles Maupin and Claudia Neri are also licensed in Illinois and Indiana. Jason Williams, the firm's other partner, is presently licensed only in Illinois, but is regularly available for litigation in Indiana by motion (pro hac vice) to the court. Our Of Counsel attorneys, Herbert S. Lasser and Richard F. Ruby, are licensed in both Indiana and Illinois (in Mr. Ruby’s case, in Michigan as well) and bring a wealth of their own long-time professional experience to the service of the firm’s clients. Our motto and pledge, Totally Committed To Client Service, is the foundation that provides peace of mind for all our clients wherever they are located.
