Michael L. Lodermeier pursued a career in law because he takes satisfaction in helping people. “Family law is an area of law that clients truly need the help and counsel of a competent and compassionate attorney. Many clients come to us at one of the lowest points of their lives,” says Lodermeier, who has been practicing law for more than 21 years. “Clients many times feel lost and do not have anyone to turn to for support. I am honored to be that support.” He concentrates his practice in matrimonial law. Lodermeier has extensive trial experience and is never shy about taking a matter to trial, however, he also understands that most cases can be handled with deft negotiation and attention to the family dynamic to resolve the dispute without the need of costly and emotional litigation. He enjoys a diverse client base, from high-net- worth individuals to clients with more modest means. “Regardless of income or status, I treat each client with the same steadfast dedication to their case” explains Lodermeier, who has been named an Illinois Super Lawyer since 2008. Lodermeier recalls advice he received from a business consultant. “She said if you return every phone call within 24 hours, you will never have a shortage of clients,” he adds. “I’ve learned that it sends the message to the client that I care, and I respect their time. I believe it has had a significant impact on the success of my practice.”
